First time I've bought this template about 3 years ago. It didn't evolve since that time. There are always some outdated plugins and customization problems. There is a lack of nice looking features that every good WP Template should have (good example IT-Rays templates). That's why finally I have used other template, without WP Job Manager compatybility.

I'm not sure, but the author you mentioned have no job board themes in their account. If you used a Jobseek as some "multipurpose" theme that is really a mistake. Because it is clearly a niche theme for specific usage.
I completely don't understand why sometimes people complain about outdated bundled plugins (the ones they get for Free in the theme). When I ask them why they need a new version immediately - they have no idea what to answer. I'm sure you can not answer this questions too. You just WANT it. Because there is no actual reason they need a fresh version the same few days. We always update bundled plugins with theme updates, or when plugin has major update, or when incompatibility issue occur. If you want to update plugin immediately - just buy them.
Anyways thanks for your review. I think 2 stars for the theme is too low, but that is what you decided.
