Horrid Lack of Support. Warning to any New Users...

Asked by Carl B Parker 3 years ago Last activity 3 years ago

I have been developing Joomla sites for over 10 years now and this is one of the worst support expereinces I've seen. Absoulutely horrible support from Joomshaper in both Chat and "Support Fourm. " Can't belive how much time I've put into working out logic and other problems from your template and extenstion just to get stonewalled by non-existant support who is affraid to take responsibilitty for their own probelms or lack of clear instructions.

JoomShaper software may look good up front, but that's where it stops. There are very obvious problems with the template and extensions, and there is nobody who will help you unless it's a super easy fix. They regularly ignore basic questions about incorrectly described and/or promised features. Forget them recommending anyone to help. They will also not do any custom work.

The instructions and documentation are not always clear or up to date. And if you take the time to point out (in many different ways) a valid bug, they simply don't respond or care.

Also now the edit page is freezing when I change the order of images in their Slideshow, totally wreching any work I've done to customize a page. By this time I have ZERO confidence it will get addressed and won't even bother try to get "support" from them.

New users beware and also look for other cases in the support forum where people have problems that either get ignored or they say "we don't do custom code" and give you NO other options to get your problem solved.

They don't care about professionalism, your business or your livelyhood. They want your money and if their pre-packages solution works well for you then great... but if you have ANY problems or need a change, forget it. You just wasted your time and money installing, placing content, styling etc.

Double thumbs down. Big dissapointment. Never using these templates or extensions again.

Agree !
It was much better 5 five years ago when I had my 1st experience! The longest you waited for an answer was 24 hours, and some answers could be very fast. For this 2nd time, I can't beleive to get an start of an answer 1 week after my question most of the time.
And when you expect to manage on your own with the support trying to find out a clue to your problem, too many times you find answers of the support asking to give admin access to solve themselves the problem with not a peice of an explanation… So for sure, it won't help any other customers ! which should be the base of a support…

Carl B Parker Asked this

There was a gentleman on here asking about the payment/booking system in the LMS. It claims the feature on the website. but in actuallity it's not usable. I asked an outside Helix developer to do it and she didn't want to because it's too much work to make and skin a shopping cart, etc. Even then the back end isn't set up for all the info you'd need to collect to run a proper event registration. Ended up recommending another outside extension to the gentleman which I'm using now. Those guys get back to me within 12 hours, and will custom code for 20bucks if it's not too difficult. Night and day diffrence. I know who I'm gonna give my money to...

I agree 100%!!

I have been told "The team will fix your issue soon." which means ABSOLUTELY nothing. AND the product no longer works!

This company is going down in flames!

Hi there,

Please accept my apologies. Sorry for the lack of support. We are very under pressure for the Page Builder 4 issues. Even the Page Builder team are busy fixing bug & Template developer team are hugely busy with the Joomla template migration & new template development. If you look behind then you will understand our support quality. Please stay with us & we will try to provide our best.

-Thanks

I'm sorry but are not aceptable this excuses.. we pay for a product, service and "support" every year, and I'm paying since 2017. And also me can tell you this: If you look behind then you will understand our level of instatisfaction. We have problems with your product, service and support, this affect our "time" and "money", also to some of us, also affect our "clients"
You arent do charity, you charging for your product and services.. so be at the "level" not "excuses"

If you look back at our previous support quality then you cannot say our support was bad. Joomla 4 compatibility and Page Builder 4 compatibility created many issues. That's why huge queries are raised in our forum. That's why we are stacked on support. Please stay with us. Thank you

I have to agree about the support. Some of my calls don't receive a reply for two weeks.

I opened a similar abour forum response times while back https://www.joomshaper.com/forum/question/21373

I hope the Joomshaper team take these opinions on board and don't consider them unjustified. A reliable support service is extremely important to people proving services to clients.

I must say I don't agree at all.

I always get good support within 24 hrs here. They are always very helpful to me.
