Get support directly from the Breakdance team.
We can answer any questions related to Breakdance. Our goal is to help you make the most of Breakdance.
During normal business hours on Monday through Friday you can usually expect a reply in 72 hours or less. Support is generally unavailable on the weekends, and tickets received on Friday are usually handled the following week. Support tickets are answered in the order in which they are received, oldest first.
Here are some common things we would love to help you out with:
- Explaining how to use certain features in Breakdance.
- Pointing you in the right direction so you can make the most of Breakdance for a certain design or development task.
- Accepting reports of bugs or other errors and providing workarounds when possible.
Here is what is outside the scope of our support:
- Server Problems
- Breakdance works on a very diverse range of server environments – from bad shared hosting accounts to powerful dedicated servers. We’ve done our best to make it run pretty much everywhere. And we rarely hear of server-related compatibility problems.
- Some servers have broken configurations or limited processing power. If you’re having a problem, we’re happy to debug any issues and see if the problem is with Breakdance or with your web hosting provider/server configuration. If we find that an issue isn’t replicable anywhere but your server, we’ll probably refer you to your hosting company or advise that you find a sysadmin to help debug your server configuration.
- Compatibility Issues
- Breakdance works well with most well-coded plugins, but plugin conflicts happen occasionally. We’re happy to relay reports of plugin conflicts to our development team and attempt to offer viable workarounds, but we often can’t offer immediate solutions for conflicts with other plugins.
- Implementing Third-Party Libraries & Third-Party Code
- We cannot help you to implement third-party libraries/code or troubleshoot why your implementation isn’t working. If you have trouble with a third-party library, please reach out to the library vendor via an appropriate support channel for that library.
- NSFW Sites
- If your site contains adult content, we will not be able to log in and troubleshoot. If you’re able to provide access to a copy of your site where the adult content has been removed, we’ll be happy to troubleshoot there.
- Performance Issues
- We’re happy to accept reports of performance issues you believe to be related to Breakdance, but we can’t help you achieve better scores on GTmetrix, PageSpeed Insights or other performance measuring tools.
- SEO Issues
- We can’t help troubleshoot indexing or SEO errors.
- We can’t help you troubleshoot SERP ranking issues.
- We can’t help you troubleshoot social media sharing issues.
- Generally, anything related to SEO should be handled by an SEO expert and not our plugin support staff.
- Writing Custom Code
- In most cases, if what you’re trying to implement requires you to write custom HTML, PHP, CSS, JavaScript, or other code, we won’t be able to advise in detail.
- Debugging Custom Code
- Breakdance lets you write HTML, PHP, CSS, and JavaScript in the builder. If you’ve written or used some custom code in Breakdance and it’s not working, we can’t debug your code for you.
- Designing Your Site
- We’re glad to advise on how to do specific things in Breakdance, but we won’t design your site for you. If you’re looking to replicate an existing design and need help, it’s best to piece your tickets out into specific tasks, e.g. “How can I make this type of slider in Breakdance?”, rather than “How do I build this site in Breakdance?”
- Anything Related To Translations Or Translation Plugins
- We do not support anything related to translating Breakdance or Breakdance-built content.
- Very Advanced Functionality & Implementations
- Some of Breakdance’s features (Conditions, certain types of queries, Element Studio, developer APIs…) are very advanced and are intended for users that understand the underlying mechanisms enough to use them without excessive guidance.
The Problematic 1% Policy
We want to provide timely support for the other 99% of our customers – and one way we do this is by not doing business with time wasters. If you take up more time than 99% of our customers (and your requests don’t help us improve our software – i.e. they are not bug reports), we’re not interested in your business. We’d be happy to give you a refund.
If you need more technical assistance than we provide…
At Soflyy we don’t take on consulting or development projects. But we have a huge community of talented designers & developers on Facebook that may be able to help you out: https://breakdance.com/facebook.
