This is totally a guess because most of your files are on AJ and it’s a wildly different marketplace than the others – but from my experience that’s probably your release cycle more than anything else… New products and frontpage exposure will create spikes during the 1-2 weeks that you launch new stuff. So if you release more early in the month, even just one popular file can make things seem uneven.

That, and normal fluctuations or outside blog exposure can create artificial peaks and valleys until you get enough products up to even things out (edit – with 64 products this isn’t likely the case where it might be a valid argument for a TF author with just 3 themes).

The only trend that I can really set my clock to is that Monday – Thursday always sell about 20-30% more per day than Friday – Sunday ;)

Edit 2: this isn’t an official staff response btw despite the badge (I work with WPTuts, not the marketplace) – it’s entirely based on my personal experience on here. :P

Ahhh! Thanks for the clarification – yeah, I don’t think FS2 is out yet officially… who knows with WT running things, but I’d kinda assume that it’s going to be released under the same GPL2 since that’s what they run a lot of their addons under. Who knows though ;)

As a side note, I’ve personally been digging on this slider: http://caroufredsel.frebsite.nl/ ... tons of killer possibilities and responsive-friendly (my newer themes all use it). Lots more options from a programming standpoint than Flexslider … not sure about Flexslider 2.

Hope that helps out!

@dtbaker : you didn’t read rule 2389812 : No one shall have more badges than epicera… wtf man? :P

I think @dtbaker and I are in an intense badge competition. First one to get the Envato staff badge wins! :-p

@Chris I thought this place was feeling a little weird for the past few months. Welcome back!

Hah, well I got you guys beat there… ;) I just want my stinkin’ “Beta-Tester” badge… I have serious badge envy over that one. It’s soooo pretty!

Soon responsive will not be included in the titles of themes as it will become “standard”.

Lies! It’ll just be hard coded into all WP theme titles and watermarked on all theme preview graphics (in 36pt impact font) so we don’t need to type it anymore. :P

I know, I came back snarky… that’s what parenthood’s done to me.

@Chris : Welcome back! I took a few months off too (aside from customer support)... came back a week ago and EVERYTHING IS RESPONSIVE . It’s like you can’t submit a product without plastering the darned word on everything. My theory that ThemeForest nests “a secret arms race intent on destroying the world with catchy buzzwords” holds firm.

@dtbaker : you didn’t real rule 2389812 : No one shall have more badges than epicera… wtf man? :P

Update: I was able to get it to work by using WinRAR with one small twist (WinRAR usually makes RAR files – but it can also make a ZIP if you tell it to):

1. Select your full theme folder (the whole outside folder, not the files inside)
2. Right click > add to archive
3. Select ZIP as the compression method.

That worked.

I tried the method of selecting all of the files and doing the same thing with WinRAR and the error message read that it found all of my theme sub-directories (assets, stylesheets, etc.) – so that was super helpful… but the default windows zipper app definitely doesn’t seem to work .

(for the devs: I’m guessing that the Windows compressor adds an invisible file that blows things up on the server – I could be wrong, but this seems like the most logical answer if this is only happening for folks using the default Windows zip method).

Hope this helps someone!

I’m getting the same errors… even with the “select all files” method… really strange. The error posted says there needs to be a folder at the top level, not files.

Any updates on this?
