I really need a step by step on how to get my theme onto wordpress! please help and bare with me. I’m new to this, but not a complete idiot, promise! I’ve unziped it (i think) Now I don’t see an upload tab that everyone keeps telling me about. Appreciate the help. -K

Are you using WordPress.com or a self hosted version of WordPress?

I wouldn’t class a light colored tiny link “clear as hell” especially on such a busy page – This could of been done a lot better guys.

Most users will see that for a few seconds and unless they’ve never installed a WordPress theme they most likely wont click it, and by the time they run into the “missing stylesheet” error will have most likely forgotten it even exists.

If a user is getting the “missing stylesheet” error, they already know how to install a WordPress theme, so seeing that error leads them into thinking the package is a) not complete or b) broken which then leads them to the author, the forums, the item comments, or Envato support

You get the mind sets like, Ive installed a 100 free themes/ themes from other shops and never ran into an error installing them why here.

There needs to be a large notice at the top of the downloads page stating to unzip the files after they download them.

The other option which has been suggested is to break the download up, which would work but…...... Then we would have issues where users are completely ignoring the documentation(who reads those things anyways)

You know, one of the reasons for which I often frequent your profile is that amazing banner of yours

Seriously, it has just been deployed, but placement improvements, size and other tweaks will follow if the current placement doesn’t prove to be efficient.

Once more, thank you for having the patience to see this become a feature. And please don’t mind me mixing in… you know I used to do this before, and now I’m doing it just to make sure issues that were left un-solved finally find their proper place by basically bugging everyone on their specific area of expertise.

p.s: Dev note sent on the License-inclusion issue.

I actually just shot an email to Justin as well(with screenshots)

p.s the banner is a joke between me and another author

Thanks for your patience guys.

Honestly I dont think Envato cares, look how many request theme authors get with “stylesheet missing” threads, comments and emails to the authors they number in the hundreds a week, yet all it would take is adding a simple notice above the download area/confirmation email/user profile or a notice after purchase

We do care, and that is in the process of being added Chris. It’s something I suggested about 2 weeks ago… but while doing that, we would also like to link to the KB to cover some of the major issues buyers encounter, and that also requires tracking down and slimming it down enough for a buyer not to simply ignore it and flip back to the forum because it’s too much to read.

As for the other issue sevenspark mentioned (and QuanticaLabs before), I will bring it up asap.

Thanks!

This has been an issue for years, and has been brought up by many of the community members way before 2 weeks ago, Actually I mention it in an email with Collis almost 2 months ago and I can prob track down threads with it from years past. So with the track record at hand Im sticking with Evnato doesnt really care, if they did it wouldnt still be an issue after all these years of people publicly mention easy fixes on the forums.

woothemes preview themes had been disabled by envato because they placed a button that redirected this marketplace buyers to their website.

That could be an oversight rather than deliberate , if you look how they load their theme previews they do it by reference, if its loading from TF it doesn’t display the purchase button. When you use the switcher although TF frame is there its technically being referred from inside the frame(woos own site) so its not hiding the purchase button.

You’re missing the jquery UI stylesheet(Also a somethings calling jQuery UI from google should be loading it from the core)

I also see a few duplicate jQuery plugins.(you have 4 different jQuery easing being loaded, 2 prettyphotos, 2 jquery form)

on a side note your site is completely locking up my browser but I can guess why

Honestly I dont think Envato cares, look how many request theme authors get with “stylesheet missing” threads, comments and emails to the authors they number in the hundreds a week, yet all it would take is adding a simple notice above the download area/confirmation email/user profile or a notice after purchase

6. https://github.com/chrisakelley/CloudWork-Verifi http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/cloudwork-verifi/

github is generally a bleeding edge version, I dont recommend using it for a production site, the 1 on wordpress.org is always stable

p.s I purchased Author H.Q as well hated it, wrote Verifi

Thanks for spotting, AuthorHQ is nice, but lacks some features.. I didn’t tried yours soon I will try.

I spot a spelling mistake “durning” instead of “during” (I think) in WordPress plugin page. Meanwhile what is meant by “CloudWork”?

haha that typo has been fixed like 10 times, I keep reverting to an old readme.txt (merging it with my git to un** it)

and CloudWork Themes

The errors are most likely caused by a whitespace error meaning there are extra lines after a closing tag ?> It could be caused by the theme but it also may be caused by an existing plugin, try deactivating your plugins then installing the theme, or try installing the theme on a fresh install( to make sure it isnt the theme)
