Don't know if this is a redundant question on here but does anyone know if paid wordpress themes come with a monthly recurring bill? Because on one website the price of the theme was given, but then when I viewed the theme demo, the theme developers had a monthly fee presented within the demo.

    Mostly themes come with one time payment but it can be recurring based on support or other customization offers.

    I've bought quite a few premium WP themes and all of them have been a one-time charge for the purchase.

    A fee sometimes, not always, comes into effect for premium level customer service. The initial X-amount of time is usually free, then, after that designated period of time they may charge X-amount annually to continue customer service at a premium level. Having said that, I've never heard of this being charged monthly.

    I'd like to see the website you're talking about.

    Thank you for your help Annie, the website is http://www.elegantthemes.com/gallery/nimble/

    its not the exact one that I came across at first because that one had a monthly fee of over $200 dollars but this one also has a monthly fee as you'll see.

      Ah . . . I see where the misunderstanding has occurred They are referring to the annual fee to gain access to all their themes. This is actually a good deal if you think you may be needing many diverse themes, plus they add to them all the time. This isn't actually the normal approach to buying a premium theme, but of course you will have the opportunity to download everything once you've paid the first annual payment. It's a good deal.

    Hi Millsinprogress,
    I use Elegant Themes and have never paid a monthly fee, only the yearly fee - I couldn't see any mention of a monthly fee on the web page you linked.

    I have to also say that at least for me as someone without a lot of coding knowledge, Elegant Themes packs so much more value than the fee they charge simply because of the support forums. They pay guys to sit on the forums and answer our questions and it's immeasurably helpful!
