Nice looking theme but please make language selector available in menu/header so that people can get more international sales. people miss that it is in the footer and log of from webiste when they dont understand the language of the website but if it is in the header/menu it grabs peoples attention. same thing with currency selector

I’m very happy with the Pahoa theme and the support team. Alex has been incredibly helpful and consistent with replies. However, if you’re thinking of making quite a few changes, I highly recommend reaching out to the team for more guidance before editing or purchasing the theme. They’ll do their best to advise on what’s suitable for each theme 😊 Thank you SO much Alex!

I initially had a few issues with the theme, but the support team and the theme author took ownership and helped resolve everything. In the end, the problem was solved and I really appreciate their effort. Great theme and it’s reassuring to know there’s a team behind it. Highly recommended!
