Compare - Price Comparison Theme for WordPress

Hi Richard,

thanks for sending over the details. I had a look at your site and I think the problem was caused by your caching plugin. I’ve cleared the cache and it now shows the same banner throughout the site.

Please let me know if you experience any further problems with this.

Kind regards

Olaf

No problem, you’re welcome. Please let me know if you experience any further problems.

Cheers

Olaf

Hi JacoboPolavieja,

thanks for your feedback and that’s great that you are considering to go ahead with our Compare theme. Let us know how you get on with your site.

In regards to future updates, for the foreseeable future, certainly in 2013, we will continue to make updates available here via ThemeForest without charging extra for this. Simply download the theme from within your downloads section and you should always get the latest/current version of the theme. We have no plans of charging for future updates at the moment and we will ensure that the theme continues to be compliant with future versions of WordPress and browser updates.

Kind regards

Olaf

Hi Jan,

I hope you are well and thanks for your query. A solution might be to create a copy of the search results template and assign this to your new page. You would then have to make a small tweak to the underlying query to display all products by default.

Can you try this and let us know if you experience any problems via our support forum over at http://support.awesem.com as it will be easier to go through this in a forum thread.

Alternatively, we could do this for you via our customisation service over at wpcustomize.it and please feel free to request a quote here: http://www.wpcustomize.it/quote/

Kind regards

Olaf

Hi JacoboPolavieja,

that’s great that you have decided to go with our Compare theme.

Please let us know if you experience any problems and you should keep an eye out for any future releases. The next one is planned for the end of January.

Kind regards

Olaf

Hi contines,

please feel free to request access to the demo site on www.awesem.net and we will send you the login details in the morning. Please note that we have just released the latest version of Compare and Compare+ and we will announce more details about this tomorrow. The latest download file is already on ThemeForest and it includes a number of new features and bug fixes.

Next week we will be doing some maintenance to the Compare+ demo sites as the XML feeds appear to be outdated.

Please let me know if you have any further questions on this.

Cheers

Olaf

Hi contines,

you will have to upgrade Compare+ manually. First make a backup of your site (files + database) and then delete the old version and upload the latest version of Compare+.

Please let us know if you experience any problems with this.

Kind regards

Olaf

Hi Fractalus,

yes, we’ve released the latest version of Compare and Compare+ earlier this week and we’ve made a number of additions and fixes as you can see in the change history on the detail page. We are currently planning the features of the next release which we will start in the new year.

Could you please provide a few more details about your feature requests so that we can fully understand your requirements and consider it for a future release.

Thanks

Olaf

Hi Contines,

thank you for your query. We’ve added the TradeDoubler XML and CSV parser to the latest version of Compare+ and you can find this under “Parser Management”.

Please let me know if you experience any problems with this.

Thanks

Olaf

Hi,

thanks for your interest in our Compare theme and Compare+ plugin. The theme costs $40 here at ThemeForest and the plugin (which requires the theme) currently costs $149 so that’s $180 for both.

Please feel free to try out both products and you can request login details at www.awesem.net

Kind regards

Olaf

Hi scripten,

We are selling our Compare theme for $40 here on ThemeForest and our Compare+ plugin directly for $149 ($189 for both) which I think is still too low. Some of our close competitors charge $330+ for similar products. We would love to sell the plugin via CodeCanyon but the most expensive item on CodeCanyon is $50 which is why we’ve decided not to sell it via this channel.

Kind regards

Olaf

Hi Contines, by default our Compare theme only has a top and sub-level category. We’ve done a customisation for a client where we added another category level and we did this via our customisation over at www.wpcustomize.it. Please feel free to ask us for a quote for this as we won’t be able to add this to a release at least until April.

Kind regards

Olaf

Ok,

Have news about accents Spanish letters?

Thanks.

Hi Contines, you should have received an email via our helpdesk system. The reason for the characters breaking is down to the feed which was not in UTF8. As long as your feeds are UTF8 encoded then the characters should display correctly.

Please let me know how you get on with this.

Thanks

Olaf

Hi contines,

I hope you are well and thanks for your query. Have you managed to resolve the problem? If not, could you send me a link to the page affected? I don’t think it’s related to WP 3.5 as we’ve not had any other reports about this and we’ve also upgraded our demo sites to WP 3.5.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards

Olaf

Hi Mat75v,

our Compare theme is purely based on XML and CSV feeds and it does not work with any APIs including the Kelkoo API.

Kind regards

Olaf

Hi contines,

thanks for your query regarding the problem you are experiencing. There could be a number of reasons for getting the malware on your site.

First of all you should take a full backup of your database and all files of your site and then you should update your WordPress version, all plugins used, the theme and also change your WordPress and FTP password.

For more details on removing malware please have a look at this post by Sucuri:

Please let me know if you experience any further problems with this.

Thanks

Olaf

Hi sedward1,

we’ve not fully tested our Compare product with review/star rating plugins but we had requests to ensure compatibility with the GD Star Rating plugin and we will try and look into this for the next release due for the end of February. If there is another rating / review plugin you are considering then please let us know and we can also test this for you.

Kind regards

Olaf

Hi Klappert,

thanks for your query and I’m pleased to hear that you like our Compare theme.

In regards to deleted products and using 301 redirects, we are not handling these and they will return a 404 error as you suspected. We have this functionality on our wish list and we would like to provide options for this in a future release but until then you will have to handle the redirects manually.

Please let me know if you have any further questions on this.

Thanks

Olaf

Hi Contines,

I hope you are well and thanks for your query. As it stands at the moment, you cannot mix the adding products functionality with feed imports as Compare+ removes the products as it’s not found in the feed. We added this to our feature list and we will see if we can do something to handle this.

As a work-around, you can create a new retailer in Compare (maybe with a slightly different name if you have the same retailer in Compare+) and then add your manual products to this retailer. This would ensure that Compare+ doesn’t delete the products from this retailer.

Please let me know how you get on with this.

Thanks

Olaf

yes this is important problem, if I create a retail price shown is “0”, is also a matter of tags products with the current system are deleted automatically.

When is the update?, Thanks.

Hi Contines,

I hope you are well. We are planning to publish the next release within the next 2-3 weeks and we are aiming to include a fix for this.

Kind regards

Olaf

Hi i havent received response to my query

Hi dealscombo,

I hope you are well and apologies for taking a while to get back to you. I’ve now had a chance to have a look at your problem and it appears that the problem was caused by the missing sub-level category.

In Compare, you need to create a top level category, e.g Computer or Hardware and then you can assign sub-categories to it e.g. Laptop. I’ve done this on your site and the products now show as expected.

You still need to assign your other categories to a suitable top level category.

Please let me know if you experience any further problems with this.

Thanks

Olaf

thanks its back will try to fix and will update thanks again

Hi

Yes, it’s possible but it requires a couple of tweaks:

Open _assets/css/custom.css and add:

.menu-main-menu-container { border-color: red !important; } .menu-main-menu-container > ul { background: green !important; border-top-color: orange !important; } .menu-main-menu-container > ul > li a { background: green !important; border-right-color: red !important; } .menu-main-menu-container > ul > li a:hover { background: lime !important; } .menu-main-menu-container > ul > li > a { border-left-color: orange !important; border-right-color: red !important; } .menu-main-menu-container ul ul li a { border-top-color: orange !important; border-bottom-color: red !important; } #search-bar #home_search { background: green !important; border-color: red !important; -webkit-box-shadow: none !important; -moz-box-shadow: none !important; box-shadow: none !important; } html #search-bar #home_search_input { background: green !important; }

Then you need to play with the colours and can add background images in the required colours.

Please let us know if you experience any problems with this. You can also sign up to our support forum over at http://support.awesem.com where we have faster response times as we have multiple support analysts monitoring the forum.

Kind regards

Olaf
