Hi Pine Street Clinic team! The compatibility issue between the third party Search & Discovery app and your Empire theme will be resolved in the next theme release, planned for early April! We appreciate your patience as we work to improve the Empire theme's compatibility with this third party app! All the best, Pixel Union

Absolutely love this Theme. I've used it on a couple of client sites and will definitely add some more. Not the cheapest, but still really good and solid. Their support is excellent too. Shout out to Byanca who helped me through an issue that had nothing to do with them or their theme in the end, but didn't stop them offering help.
