Hello,

Sarah, thank you again for reviewing another one of my themes! I'm really glad to be featured on WP Tavern twice in ten days :)

Just to make some things clearer, there are 2 versions of the theme available. Free Auberge offered via WordPress.org doesn't contain the recipes functionality (so does not require WebMan Amplifier plugin to be installed) and don't support post formats. You can actually read the differences from Auberge Plus on dedicated info page.

While the theme does not contain any shortcodes and page builders, it does contain a simple slider which can be set up using Jetpack's featured content module according to theme's user manual instructions. And, the theme (even the free version) supports the great Beaver Builder page builder plugin!

Thanks again for the review!

Best regards,

Oliver
