A big request for the developers. I just put up my first file, and I had a customer purchase it thinking it’s a WordPress Template. Don’t you think it would be a great idea to have a sidebar text that says in what category it resides? For example, Site Template , WordPress Theme, etc, etc, etc?
I think there would be less confusions.

It says it at the top, above the item name.

Then why do customers buy the item, and then say ” I believed it was WordPress? ”... it means it needs to be more visible

people make mistakes, it was one person not 100… now if everyone that bought your theme thought it was WordPress then there’d be a problem

Buyers can believe what they want. No one is deceiving them though so it’s just ignorance.

I have 5 WordPress themes and 5 matching HTML themes in my porfolio, and I’ve had this only happen maybe 5-6 times ever where the buyer purchased an HTML template expecting it be a WP theme for whatever reason.

You’d think the price would give it away? What new HTML theme is $30+ and what new WordPress theme is less than $25?

I had a buyer that purchased my WordPress plug-in and asked me to help him “make it work with Opera 10”. Now your buyer is way too intelligent

The fact is still the same, buyers get confused. It would be nice to have the category where the item was uploaded in, shown in the sidebar , for example Site Templates | HTML CSS or… WordPress | 3.2
