Hi there,
I think yes, but with some limitation. The bundled plugins are licensed to X theme only, and some features will only work of the theme is active. Example, the skin builder of The Grid plugin, you can’t use that as they can detect if the theme is licensed to use them.
And it also helps us to determine the issues if the theme is active.
And yes moving sites could cause many issues if not properly configured to its new domain.
Thanks!
