gmcd – I think you are confusing two different things.
The free support (included in your theme purchase) is via the support forum for the pro version.
(That is, where you have posted).
The PREMIUM support is available at an additional cost, see https://catchthemes.com/membership/
No doubt your follow up question is “Then what’s the difference between their support for free and pro versions?”
In my experience it seems that:
– Requests in the Pro support forum appear to be handled as a priority, before those in the free support forum.
– Answers and assistance available in the Pro support forum is generally more detailed After all, Catch want you to get the best from your paid-for theme; and are happy to do that. I’ve always been impressed by their support via the forum.
Cheers
