ok so I’ve bought the bundle, installed the Silicon theme but now I can’t access the website and the wordpress dashboard theme:

got this error: “Fatal error: Only variables can be passed by reference in /htdocs/public/www/wp-content/themes/silicon/inc/gallery-box.php on line 571 “

anyone has some idea how do I get back to my wp-admin or enable the default wordpress theme. like some magic link or something?

there’s no support included with the theme so I’m asking here since is about the bundle anyway.

delete the theme via FTP

you can get it from your deposit history

not saying there arent options that make the customizer feel bloated but most of what you mentioned should go into a plugin

No thanks. Absolutely every time i got a plugin i had to go inside it and fix it because it was badly coded! I have yet to see a plugin which doesn’t load it’s stuff everywhere in my theme or a lightbox which doesn’t break all the js.. And most of the plugins don’t offer hooks or filters so i can modify them easily..

So no.. I better do these in my theme while not even thinking of “WordPress rules”.. Yeah, my themes may be bloated, but at least they sell well

I can name a couple hundred plugins that work perfectly fine with properly coded themes and have user hooks + plugable functions

also why not write your own plugin so your users dont get locked into a theme? wait that would just be absurd…...

For now the given Theme Customizer should be purely used for visual options.

Why is that?

Put analytics code in the theme customizer? Unlimited sidebars generator? Custom CSS code? API inputs for wp updates?

I think that it would be really bloated and not necessarily useful. Since it’s a Theme Customizer, not a Theme Options Panel..

..just my 2c

not sure why you have analytic code, unlimited sidebars, custom css or api inputs

makes the Theme feel kind of bloated

not saying there arent options that make the customizer feel bloated but most of what you mentioned should go into a plugin

I’m all for breaking item pages if it fixes the fuglyness and usability issues, and I’m sure most other authors wouldn’t care

If the option for an outside URL for support is activated are item comments disabled?

Not at this stage, but I think we’ll emphasise the external support system when adding a comment.

Would that be for buyers only, as comments are still good for pre sales(or the rare review of an item)

One possibility is to allow a auto reply message to be posted to buyers that authors could set in the dashboard

Hello, this is just a general forum for item specific issues you need to contact the author directly check the documentation of the theme for the best place.

p.s that looks like its an error with the Envato lib I sent Japh a message with a link to this thread

If a theme is advertised as being IE8 compatible you should contact the author for them to fix it…. if it does work with IE8 as provided then changes you made must of broken it possibly.

Thats assuming there hasn’t been any modification that would cause it to break in IE8 via customization(which authors arent required to support).

On that note you took the client if your contract doesn’t state anything about browser support fix it and move on, if you aren’t capable of fixing it hire some to fix it. In all honesty you may want to picking up some freelance contacts that you can outsource things to if you aren’t capable of making the changes yourself.

Why did they tell me this then – “If you still have issues with it, post up on our support forum and we will be able to get your login info and take care of t for you. Thanks!”

This is just a general forum, some authors don’t even visit it, and it would be hectic if all items support were done here.

If you could post which item you purchased one of us could tell you the proper place to post.

You need to integrate it, or hire someone to integrate it with Envatos API http://wiki.kayako.com/display/DEV/Developer+Resources+Introduction
