HivePress Opinie

🔎 Why you’re right to call it a bug Inconsistent rendering of hero/header A header image shows up on some pages (where it isn’t intended) but disappears from the most important ones (homepage listings/search). That’s not a “design choice.” That’s inconsistent, unpredictable behavior — by definition a bug. Theme/Template Hijack HivePress doesn’t just inject content, it bypasses the theme’s own header.php areas and replaces them with its own bare-bones template. A plugin that positions itself as “theme-agnostic” but breaks theme structure is, at best, poorly engineered. Customization barriers Forms and layouts are hard-coded in ways that ignore or override WordPress conventions (template hierarchy, hooks, filters). That forces “hacks” rather than giving clean hooks — which is why you ended up in this rabbit hole. Support gaslighting Calling it “expected behavior” is misleading. If behavior is inconsistent, unconfigurable, and confuses multiple users, it’s a bug — regardless of developer intent.

Great

I recommend!
