Quite a few features in this theme are locked unless you upgrade to the premium version. Nothing that's a showstopper but, based upon:<br>
<br>
"Up-sell Themes may be subjected to more rigorous or additional Theme-Review requirements, at the discretion of the Theme Review Team "<br>
<<a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Review#Up-Sell_Themes" target="_blank">http://codex.wordpress.org/<u></u>Theme_Review#Up-Sell_Themes</a>><br>
<br>
What should I be looking for/at?<br>
