Hi MAK! Responding to your video-question:
Please tell us, what would be the benefits and the loosing points and the differences between
A) KrafterPro as a Plugin
B) KrafterPro as a child-theme
C) KrafterPro as a variable and preset-System (as it is by now)

David Rutlidge

Also responding to the video - Like many Divi users, and recommended best practice, I already have a child theme with several helper functions and overrides in my functions.php. As it's not possible to have a grandchild theme, I don't see how I can use KrafterPRO if it's a child theme. While I could add my functions to your functions.php, these would be lost every time the child theme updates. It might be possible, but very non-standard, for your functions.php to chain another one, and where would the chained file have to be located?

For these reasons, I don't think KrafterPRO should be a child theme. It's way too limiting.

On the more general issue of support. I'm highly disappointed with your lack of response to emails or the ticket I raised. It took days to get access to the Divi Mastery course, my access to the closed groups is still pending and I have had no response to my question as to how to claim the 30% discount on KrafterPRO - although perhaps that tardyness has served to my advantage as, if KP remains a child theme, it's of no use to me.

Aaron Kittredge

Off the top of my head, I could potentially see KrafterPro working best as a plugin. It may:
- Allow for users to still use a different child theme and KP
- Allow for easy updates to KP
- Allow, perhaps, for specific functions, features, etc of KP to be toggled on and off, soas to use as much or as little of KP as one desires, needs.

Mak, I always use a child theme when building a site and like a previous commentor stated, it is somewhat customized. For that reason, I see a bigger future for KrafterPro as a plugin, especially if it can be updated with ease. If a plugin can function better than the variable and preset system, I would favor that approach.

Mak, what is the name of the annotation tool you demoed in this video?
