    "body": "## The essentials\n\n- Best for launching a business site or small store fast from one of 700+ pre-built websites.\n- Main caveat: one license per site, and BeBuilder pages must be rebuilt if you switch themes.\n- Paid only: $69 plus tax per site on ThemeForest, paid once, with 6 months of support.\n\n## What BeTheme does on your site\n\nBeTheme is a multipurpose WordPress theme made by Muffin Group and sold on ThemeForest. It ships with its own visual builder, BeBuilder, plus a set of tools that cover the whole site: a header and mega menu builder, footer, popups, sidebar menus, content loops (Loop Builder) and BeBuilder Woo for WooCommerce store pages.\n\nIts main selling point is a library of more than 700 pre-built websites you can import in one click from the theme dashboard, including WooCommerce variants and a few made for Elementor. The theme also bundles premium plugins, Slider Revolution 6, Layer Slider and WPBakery Page Builder, which you install and update from Betheme > Plugins with no separate license key. BeBuilder layouts are stored in theme-specific post meta (`mfn-page-items`).\n\nBeTheme is not distributed on wordpress.org. Every install has to be registered with a purchase code under Betheme > Dashboard: that is what unlocks updates, pre-built website imports and the bundled plugins. Since version 29, an AI assistant called AI Creator generates pages, copy and images inside BeBuilder, but it requires an active Betheme subscription and credits.\n\n![Diagram: BeTheme works on visitors and bots, wordpress, database and files. Public traces: signed HTML comments (hidden with Pro); folder name (hidden with Pro); tag IDs (hidden with Pro); generated-file folders (hidden with Pro); JavaScript variables (still visible); CSS classes (still visible).](https://www.wp-masquerade.com/media/wpm-sheets/betheme/diagram-en.svg?v=60352939)\n\n## Which sites BeTheme is a good fit for\n\nBeTheme is built for starting from a complete template rather than a blank page:\n\n- **Business sites that need to launch fast**: a pre-built website close to your trade (restaurant, practice, agency, contractor) gives you a complete base to adapt.\n- **Small WooCommerce stores**: shop templates, product pages built with BeBuilder Woo and a side cart come with the theme.\n- **Freelancers who deliver one site per client**: one regular license per site, transferable to the client, with a single options panel for the header, menu, colors and fonts.\n\nIt is the wrong pick if you want to switch themes later without rebuilding your pages, or for a mostly text blog where a lightweight theme and the block editor are enough. To compare approaches, read our guide on [choosing a WordPress theme](https://www.wp-masquerade.com/how-to-choose-wordpress-theme/), our [WordPress page builder comparison](https://www.wp-masquerade.com/best-wordpress-page-builders-compared/) or the [Avada](https://www.wp-masquerade.com/features/camouflaged-plugins/avada/) sheet, its closest competitor.\n\n## BeTheme strengths and limitations\n\n### Strengths\n\n- **A huge template library.** More than 700 pre-built websites import in one click, then you edit them in BeBuilder.\n- **Every builder included.** Header, mega menu, footer, popups, loops and WooCommerce pages come with the theme, with no paid add-on.\n- **Bundled premium plugins.** Slider Revolution 6, Layer Slider and WPBakery Page Builder work without buying their licenses.\n- **A low entry price.** The ThemeForest regular license is a one-time payment and includes updates for the theme and bundled plugins.\n- **Frequent updates.** The changelog shows several releases a month, with security fixes clearly flagged.\n\n### Limitations\n\n- **One license per site.** The regular license covers a single site (subdomains, subfolders and multisite on the same domain aside), which adds up fast for an agency.\n- **Pages tied to the theme.** BeBuilder content is stored in BeTheme’s own format: leaving the theme means rebuilding your pages.\n- **Support limited to 6 months.** The ThemeForest license includes 6 months of support; after that you have to pay for an extension.\n- **AI not included with ThemeForest.** AI Creator requires an active Betheme subscription, and its credits are sold separately.\n- **Slider Revolution stuck on version 6.** Muffin Group officially supports only the version 6 bundled with the theme, not version 7.\n\n## The BeTheme settings we recommend\n\nThe options live in the Betheme menu of the WordPress admin. Labels are given as they appear in Muffin Group’s documentation.\n\n| Setting | Recommended value | Why |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| **Purchase code**  Betheme > Dashboard | Registered, one code per site | Without registration you get no updates for the theme or bundled plugins, so no security fixes. |\n| **“BeBuilder visibility”**  Betheme > Theme Options > Global > Advanced | Limited to the roles that build pages | Most known BeTheme vulnerabilities need a contributor or author account: the fewer roles with the builder, the fewer ways in. |\n| **“Use built-in fields”**  Betheme > Theme Options > SEO | Off if you use an SEO plugin | Two sources for the description and share image produce duplicate tags. |\n| **“Static CSS”**  Betheme > Theme Options > Performance | On | The CSS from your options moves out of every page’s head into a minified file, regenerated each time you save. |\n| **“Google Fonts”**  Betheme > Theme Options > Performance > General | “Cache fonts local”, then download and save | Fonts are served from your own server, with no call to Google’s servers on every visit. |\n| **“Premium Plugins”**  Betheme > Theme Options > Addons & Plugins | Bundled version, unless you own a license for the plugin | If you have your own Slider Revolution or WPBakery license, flag it here to get updates straight from their developer. |\n| **“Post type”**  Betheme > Theme Options > Global > Advanced > Theme functions | Unused types off (clients, offer, slides, testimonials...) | Fewer content types means fewer menus and screens to watch; check first that no page uses them. |\n\n- Under Betheme > Dashboard, check that the theme shows as registered, then compare the installed version with the latest one in the changelog.\n- Under Betheme > Plugins, update Slider Revolution, Layer Slider and WPBakery: they do not update from the regular WordPress Plugins screen.\n- Test every major update on a [staging copy](https://www.wp-masquerade.com/glossary/staging-environment/) and keep your code changes in the child theme that ships with BeTheme.\n\n## BeTheme security: mostly contributor-level flaws\n\nMost published BeTheme vulnerabilities require a logged-in account, often a plain contributor, and go through BeBuilder or its elements. The worst ones reach [remote code execution](https://www.wp-masquerade.com/glossary/remote-code-execution/):\n\n- **CVE-2024-2694, fixed in 27.5.7**: PHP object injection through the `mfn-page-items` post meta, open to a contributor.\n- **CVE-2026-6261 and CVE-2026-6262, fixed in 28.4.1**: icon pack uploads let an author drop executable files, and a contributor move or delete files on the server.\n- **CVE-2026-65548, fixed in 28.5.8**: remote code execution by a contributor account.\n- **CVE-2026-94415, versions up to 28.5.8**: reflected XSS exploitable without an account, by luring a logged-in user to a link.\n\nKeep the theme registered and up to date, and hand out the contributor and author roles sparingly (see our guide to WordPress roles and capabilities). With WP Masquerade Pro, the signed HTML comments, the `betheme` folder name in file addresses, the IDs of its stylesheets and scripts and the `uploads/betheme` folder are hidden, but the `mfn` JavaScript variable and the `mfn-*` classes stay visible: it slows bots down, it is not a fix.\n\n## BeTheme FAQ\n\n**Can I use one BeTheme license on several sites?**\n\nNo, with a few exceptions: the regular license covers one site, but Muffin Group accepts the same code on subdomains and subfolders of a single domain, and on a WordPress multisite. For several clients you need one license per client or a multi-site plan sold directly by Muffin Group.\n\n**How do I move BeTheme to my client’s server?**\n\nDeregister the purchase code under Betheme > Dashboard, move the site, then register it again on the new domain. If you deleted the theme without deregistering it, Muffin Group’s license manager lets you release the code.\n\n**Do I need to buy Slider Revolution or WPBakery separately?**\n\nNo. The bundled versions are free with the theme and need no key, so you can dismiss their registration notices. Your own license only matters if you want updates and content straight from their developer.\n\n**Why avoid a “nulled” copy of BeTheme?**\n\nA pirated copy cannot be registered, so it never gets security fixes, and it often hides a backdoor. Our article on nulled themes and plugins covers the risks.\n\n## Key facts\n\n- Category: Builders and themes\n- Vendor: Muffin Group\n- Price: $69 plus tax for a ThemeForest regular license, one site, one-time payment with 6 months of support\n- Official page: https://muffingroup.com/betheme/\n\n## What WP Masquerade hides\n\n- Handled by WP Masquerade Pro only\n- With Pro: signed HTML comments, folder name, tag IDs, generated-file folders\n- Still visible: JavaScript variables, CSS classes",
