Krafter Starter Sites: DU+ Membership or KrafterPRO Lifetime?

Kiran Kumar Mak . Thanks for clarifying. Now I understand.

I fully understand and respect that Mak needs to charge for the products and features he develops. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that, and I have no problem paying for new products that provide additional value.

However, I do think it's important to be careful about making promises that certain features or products will always be included with a Lifetime license and that this will never change.

For example, the templates for headers and footers that could previously be added to the Divi Theme Builder, together with the Design System, were included for those of us with a KrafterPRO Lifetime license.

What concerns me is when features that were previously promised as part of a Lifetime purchase are moved into a new paid product.

The new Krafter Starter Site clearly includes more than just the original Divi Theme Builder templates, and I completely understand charging for that additional content. My concern is specifically about the features that were already included and promised to Lifetime customers.

When something is marketed as Lifetime, especially with repeated statements that certain features will always remain included, people naturally expect those promises to be honored. There are plenty of videos where these commitments were made.

Another example of a similar issue is the video courses under the Courses section.

I've lost count of how many questions I've received, both privately and in the community, from people asking where the courses have gone and why they can't access them despite having a Lifetime license.

The original courses were removed because they showed an outdated version of KrafterPRO, which is understandable. However, we were told that updated courses would be available within a few weeks. It's now been almost six months, and they still haven't appeared.

I think a simple solution would be to either remove the course listings that currently have no content or add a clear message explaining that updated video tutorials are planned, but that no release date has been confirmed.

That would help avoid confusion and prevent people from repeatedly asking the same questions.

For me, this isn't about expecting everything to be free. It's about transparency, clear communication, and honoring the commitments made to customers who purchased Lifetime licenses.

I appreciate the work Mak puts into developing KrafterPRO and the surrounding products. I just believe that clearer communication and greater consistency regarding previous promises would benefit both the community and the people behind the products.

Great comment. I think Mak has great ideas, but he is juggling so many projects that none get finished. He seems to be a one-man band. He also needs to improve his communication skills.

I have to be fair, though. Elegant Themes keeps changing Divi 5 and adding more overlapping features. I honestly don't know how Mak keeps up with their changes.

Will he emerge victorious? Is there light at the end of the DU tunnel? Stay tuned.

God bless everyone.
