Is there a Kathmandu Pro demo admin site anywhere? The Kathmandu Pro product page doesn’t say much of anything about the differences between it and the free version. It’s very vague. Beyond that, all I’ve found is a screenshot to the sliders option page. I need a lot more information than that if I’m going to justify paying for a wordpress theme.

@Phil: Sorry we don’t have that option at this stage and my suggestion will be like if you are satisfied with free version then please stay in the Free Version. No need to upgrade to Pro version. But if you like and want to be part of Pro version then you are always welcome.

For Pro version features comparison, you can look at the theme instructions of pro version and see the missing one in your free version.

There are many features additional and some of theme are as below:
1. Footer Editor Options to delete or edit the footer copyright information.
2. More Featured Slider options such as Featured Page slider and Featured Image Slider
3. More sidebars
4. More Sidebar Widgets
5. Webmaster Tools
6. Comment Options: Option to Enable/Disable comments
7. Font Family Options
8. Color Options
9. Additional Layout Options
10. Additional Header Options

One of the reasons I’d be interested in upgrading is the color options. Overriding CSS for the many, many places that blue is hard coded is tedious. But since you don’t say what the color options are in the pro version, or how they are chosen, I can’t judge if they would be adequate.

Additional header options… What are they?
Additional Layout Options… What are they?
Webmaster Tools… Such as?

Featured Slider options… Can they be a mix of pages and posts or can you only chose one or the other? I suspect one or the other, but using a featured image linked to either would work around the limitation.

Can the pro theme be automatically upgraded or do we need to manually replace the theme folder with a new version?

@Phil: Color Options are there for most of the elements and I am telling you that only for few odd places you need to add custom css. For that also I will help you out.

We have just change our theme instruction page to highlight the additional features. See this http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-kathmandu-pro/

Sorry there will not be automatic upgrade. You need to either upload from your Dashboard or through FTP. If you are uploading from your Dashboard, then use Catch Updater plugin, which will help you to overwrite the existing theme as well as create backup of the theme.

Thank you, Sakin. I appreciate the thorough response.

One last questions – I see that the pro price only includes 1 year of updates. Will you still provide security related updates after the 1 year paid?

[Sakin]

@Phil: Don’t worry for security release we will provide it free. As we only use core WordPress functions validated by WordPress Theme Review team there won’t be such issues.

Thank you, Sakin. Though not all security issues are server side/php based.
