[RESOLVED] PLEASE STOP HARDCODING WP-CONTENT!!!
wp-content is hard-coded into the Demo files.
This is broadly known by all WordPress developers to be very poor practice:

http://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/25-most-common-wordpress-mistakes-to-avoid/ (see #24)
This means that the demo installations break on any website that has wp-content renamed or moved for security purposes.
Please fix this issue retrospectively and going forward. I submitted this issue as feature request for a separate matter 5 months ago but received no acknowledgment:
http://forum.muffingroup.com/betheme/discussion/comment/11889/#Comment_11889
As an interim solution, I need to manually change the paths of all demo images but naturally, it would be better to not have to do this at all.
Thanks for an otherwise great theme. :-)

Comments
Perhaps a footnote in the official documentation is the way to go.
this is unfortunately not possible to do this and there is a reason why all most popular themes got this directory hardcoded. If this won't be made like this, most things like styles and other elements won't work.
Thanks for understanding!
