What people say about Darkify
Truly never dealt with better support than this. I was sceptical at first to spend money on this plugin, but after having dealt with a couple issues, and support getting to replying to my support tickets in less than 1 hour, I am no longer disappointed for having to spend money on this plugin. (I am not one to spend money on plugins often. Very rare!) So definitely had to leave a 5 star review if not for support alone; the plugin itself is absolutely perfect! Does exactly what I want, and then some! Couldn’t be happier with the results. Thank you!
I had tried several dark mode plugins in the past, but felt they were far too bloated or wanted me to upgrade to access very basic features. I had even began designing my own dark mode plugin myself, but quickly realised that was going to be more difficult than I’d hoped for, so I tested out a few more and was delighted when I came across Darkify!
Darkify was the first dark mode plugin that I’d tried that successfully recoloured 99% of my website and elements added by third-party plugins, and the default set-up almost worked perfectly out-of-the-box. See More
I’ve tried several dark mode plugins over the past few years, including WP Dark Mode, Darklup, Dracula Dark Mode, DarkMySite, Darklooks, Dusky Dark Mode, Dark Mode Toggle, Dark Reader and a few lightweight CSS-only solutions. Many of them looked promising at first, but they always seemed to come with some trade-offs either too heavy, too many ads in the admin panel, compatibility issues with Elementor or limited custom control.
After switching to Darkify Dark Mode it’s the first time I’ve actually stuck with a dark mode plugin and didn’t feel the need to look for alternatives.
This plugin is really great. You can also automatically replace photos depending on the day/night mode. I contacted support about a minor bug, and they were lightning-fast with the update. I have the pro version and I absolutely don’t regret it. Congratulations!
Darkify is easily one of the best free WordPress dark mode plugins available. I’ve tested almost every free dark mode plugin for WordPress, and this one offers the most features without needing a paid upgrade. It’s reliable, lightweight, and works seamlessly across multiple themes and websites.
I use Darkify plugin for my site and it works amazingly well! Also, the excellent support from the Author is 5 Stars for sure! Don’t wait if you need a reliable plugin and support.. Darkify is your go to!
