Reporting Issues

When an issue is brought to our attention, we will first ensure that it is reproducible. Then, we escalate it to our developers to pursue a fix where possible and appropriate. You can help expedite this process by providing us with screenshots and detailed steps to reproduce the problem. The more specific, the better! 

For reporting issues, follow our Contribute page.

Some Specifics About Customization 

A customization is anything that changes the way Sensei looks or functions. Each of our products are provided as-is. While we can help you configure our products within the intended capability and function, we can’t assist with the customization of our products, nor can we help troubleshoot, modify or debug custom code, or officially endorse third-party customization solutions.

There are many resources available on the web if you would like to hire a WordPress developer or designer.

We provide some customization guidelines and developer docs; however, these are for reference/guidance only, and we cannot guarantee that they will always work as expected. Our support policy does not include assistance with modifying or debugging code from any code examples included in our developer-level documentations, and they may be changed or removed if we find they no longer work due to changes in our plugins.

We do not assist with cosmetic changes to your site. This includes, but is not limited to theme design or advice, custom CSS code, menu structure, and color or font changes. 

Response Times

We respond to all inquiries with 24 hours. Troubleshooting for advanced or technical inquires often take longer after the initial response.  

Language

Sensei primarily provides support in English. If you contact us in a different language, we’ll do our best to translate your message and will reply in English.
