Hallo,

du brauchst pro Kunde und Domain eine Lizenz, also ja, du musst für jedes WordPress Theme das du verkaufst das PSD oder HTML Template erneut kaufen.

Translated using Google Translate by mod:

Hello, you need a license per user and domain, so yes, you have for each WordPress theme you sell the PSD or HTML template buy again.

As far as i know only if you ask the author and he allows it. On itself the extended license is not enough.

Your problem is people may not read that it is not included and then get upset when they find out that it is not. Plus the demo must represent what is being purchased.

That’s not really correct. You don’t have to include everything you showcase in a demo in your theme/plugin.

Some folks only display that their theme/plugin is compatible with another product, and if it’s clearly pointed out that the product is not included, it’s totally fine to leave it out.

so can i use it for demo only with type in the description right ?

No, i wouldnt. Even if it is a grey area (which i dont know it is) there is a huge difference between what most people do and what you want to do. Most people use this sort of system for free to download plugins / widgets, not for premium stuff the end user has to purchase.

Even if envato accepts your item, you better prepare for a lot of 1 star ratings and bad comments.

a month?

I suppose that probably is a long time, but all that matters is that it’s looked at eventually, no?

If the themeforest review process would take a month i would probably go insane in that time. Imagine you wait a frikking month only to get a softrejection. That is just kurulumuun!

Also I know this is not the best place to ask but I wanted to know how to target IE10 with conditional commands in HTML?

You cant, microsoft dropped the conditional statement detection with ie10. The only way to do something similar is via javascript or php.

What does that look like $?

You have to purchase the theme once for each domain you want to use it on. So, for 5 domains you would have to purchase the theme 5 times.

So you are saying an author who willingly! goes through the process of purchasing an item from a competitor only to leave a bad rating would be stopped because he has to write a comment telling everyone how much crap said item exactly is? Seriously?

YES, Exactly.

He might be shy of having his name displayed in public, but how hard is it to simply create a new account just for that reason – he would even make some affiliate money on that.

“Oh yes, I create a new account to rate an item bad and can even make affliate money. Noone will ever know who I really am !”... /irony
ever seen the line ”?ref=yourusername” ?

Good you thought this through before posting …/irony

However, forcing customers to leave a comment still poses a problem in potentially shrinking the already low rate of “real” ratings and thus giving the 1star guys even more power.

i totally agree, that’s not faire having an item rated 1 star just because the buyer didn’t take the time to read the documentation. I have a plugin with more 500 sales, and i can’t understand how i can get a one star rate on it, i’ve been working on it for months. The point is that later people will not buy a plugin poorly rated.

Thats just how it is, but its the same for everyone.

The iphone5 on the german amazon marketplace has 43 5star ratings and 17 1star ratings. I am not the biggest apple fan, but i am fairly certain the iphone5 is not a 1star product The point is, there will always be people who want to harm you for whatever reason, you cant let them get to you.

A required multiline comment when giving a 1star rating is a horrible idea by the way, because then you wont “just” get the 1 star rating, you would also get this:

“This item is garbage, it never worked!
The author gives no support and is an arrogant prick
Do yourself a favor, dont buy this crap”

Now, i would very much prefer “just” the 1star

The only way to prevent this would be a team of envato employees who do nothing else than approve rating comments all day long – i dont really see this happening.

Amazon, and every other serious marketplace force the buyer to place a comment along with the rating. If all the big successful marketplaces are doing it, then it should be there. If you want to build a car, better make it with 4 wheels. it’ll work for sure. Later we can discuss if it’s a good idea or not, how can it be better, taking all the time in the world.

Please explain to me why you would prefer a bad rating plus an insulting comment over just a bad rating.

Do you really think having to write a few insulting lines of text would stop people who give you a 1star rating because you didnt change half your theme for free on a sunday afternoon? Its exactly this kind of people who would have no problem whatsoever with this.

dude, lots of times the bad rating comes from envious authors just coz they envy you or you are selling in the same category, Some authors do this to damage their competition… Do you think an envy author will rate 1 start if he needs to write a comment? i guess no

So you are saying an author who willingly! goes through the process of purchasing an item from a competitor only to leave a bad rating would be stopped because he has to write a comment telling everyone how much crap said item exactly is? Seriously?

Plus, the need for a comment would do more harm than good. From the low number of ratings on each theme it is pretty obvious that most people are satisfied with their purchase and simply move on without leaving a rating (the unsatisfied are always more prone to leave a rating). So, image how much the number of decent people who give you a fair rating would shrink even further if they would be forced to write a comment along with their rating. The people who want to harm you however would have mostly no problem with doing this, which in the end would shift the good rating / bad rating ratio even more to a point where each bad rating can break your sales.
