Astra used to be number one but someone thought messing with it was a good idea. They’ve added a lot but it is too much, over the top, and many functions are difficult to located. I had such a hard time on a client’s website today. 10 hours at the computer creating one simple 7 page website with woocommerse. I am still not finished. Widgets keep disappearing 5 minutes after showing perfectly. I hate this. Booooo Astra
