Hi WordPress users!!,

be cautious when dealing with themes from TemplateSpare and those listed as AF Themes in the WordPress theme library.

⚠️ Why You Should Be Careful:

• Admin Hijack: Once installed, these themes may take control of your admin area, making it impossible to switch back to a default or another theme.
• Overwrites Default Themes: After installation, these themes can overwrite existing themes, preventing reversion.
• Impossible to Deactivate or Uninstall: Users report being locked out from deactivating or uninstalling these themes through the normal WordPress dashboard.
• Lack of Documentation: The official website (https://templatespare.com/) provides no proper documentation on how to uninstall or resolve issues. The provided documentation is unrelated and points to other themes, adding to the confusion.

🛑 If You Are Affected:

Unfortunately, there is no reliable way to uninstall these themes once they hijack your site. The most effective way to restore your website is to completely reinstall WordPress.

🚫 Better Safe Than Sorry:

Avoid installing themes from unverified sources, especially those linked to TemplateSpare. Stick to reputable theme providers with positive reviews and verified support.

If you’ve already been affected or need help with the reinstallation process, feel free to reach out for guidance! Stay safe out there!
