Reviews

October 20, 2024
Darklup gives a great dark mode experience, and it also offers needed customization. Unfortunately, a lack of timely support disqualifies this plugin for serious use. Today, a critical error in Darklup brought down two of my websites. Darklup has not addressed this problem hours later. WordPress security and support issues require 24/7 attention. Bugs and feature issues can wait, but not when a site is brought down by the plugin. YMMV.

Initially I really liked this plugin and bought a 3 sites Lifetime licence a few months ago, all worked well until I discovered that the free/pro plugin was causing a bug with Elegant Themes’ Divi builder and I had to disable to Darklup plugin. I contacted the team in June, then mid June 2023, and then at the start of Aug (2 weeks at time of writing) and have had zero response from the team. I feel cheated/scammed. Definitely not making any further purchases until this is resolved

Really like this plug, pretty smooth and offers backend mode too (many do not without $$$). I would give it 5 stars if not for:1) Clutter’s admin sidebar with a new entry and there is no need for an entry of its own. Would be fine under settings.2) Lots of settings are pro only and must be changed with custom CSS if not buying pro. Totally understand the need to monetize a plugin, fully support this so the plugin stays up to date and not abandoned. Just feel little overboard on this plugin. Still a solid 4.5 star plugin!

I had one small issue with my logo not changing (theme related) and the developer of this plugin was very fast to help fix the issue. Highly recommend this plugin. It’s very well developed and easy to use.
