Hi, I just bought this theme and nothing seems to be working. Clicking on add a question does not work Sign up does not work Only thing that works is clicking on the hello world post takes me to the hello world page.
My site is codisrupt.com
Also, i was a bit disappointed to see that the “question” is basically a wordpress blog post… $45 seems steep for this simple customization. But I’ll hold off rating the theme until I see what else the theme offers after it works.
Thanks.
Hello, I was able to get the theme to work after I reinstalled wordpress. Just re-installing the theme did not help. Now the “Ask Question” works. Hopefully its a breeze from here on. Thanks.
Glad you were able to get things up and running.
The image next to each question shows a broken image. I suppose it is the user’s avatar image …which does not display. Could you please help?
Also, I would like to display a “Mood” for each question to show the mood of the user posting the question. And ideally, display that (a mood smiley or icon) instead of the avatar image for the question…any guidance you can provide on how to do that would be very helpful. Thanks.
Hi,
The avatar images should work and the custom upload image should also work. Not sure which source of the icon/image you are targeting here maybe a link to a page where this is happing would help see the missing image.
As for the mood question, this is a custom request that i cant personally support at this time but i would try to find a plugin that might suit your needs. Sounds like a custom request but you never know if there is already a plugin out there.

Hi E, the page is codisrupt.com – I tried selecting the gravatar as the avatar display, and one of the other generated ones – neither works. I could give you a wordpress login if that would help..
Where is the custom image option? I don’t see it…
we are in luck
.. I created a new user and somehow magically the avatar of the admin profile also updated. seems like some cache refresh issue.
Hello,
Our website running the WordPress QA theme is under heavy spam attack. Do you have any recommendations on the plugin or techniques that would prevent spammers?
Is there any way to just allow social media login (viz. Facebook, Twitter, Google+) and disable regular sign-up?
Please reply as fast as you can.
Hi,
Sorry to hear that there is heave spam on your site. Worpdress is often targeted since it is so popular.
You could add a captcha check to your sign up page which would cut down on the spam/ bots that are signing up for your site.
There are plugins that will allow you to place a captcha item into the sign up form. Does require a little bit of code knowledge though… but most of the sites have pretty good info on how to do this.
As for social logins. I know that you can use plugins to extend you membership creation process via social channels… not sure if this will prevent spam on the normal sign up form.
Hope that this helps.
Regards,
-esterndesign
I’m looking at various plugins. Are you expecting to include anti-spam mechanisms in the next version? Please consider integrating ‘Facebook’ , Twitter, G+ login as well – which would help cutting down the spam.
Do you have any planned timeline for the release of next version?
Hi,
I am not planning a “next version” at this time. I am supporting the theme when i can and address questions.
If a feature like this comes up i will weigh the value to the general theme audience and then introduce it in an update.
I DO feel that the addition of a captcha type security check on sign up page sounds like a good idea that i will probably start working on when i get some free time. Thanks for the direction.
As for the Facebook and social logins. i will probably not directly support this as a theme feature and leave this to the plugin options since these options are changing often and leave that to the experts that do that well. I generally feel this way about custom add on plugins.
Regards,
-esterndesign
Is there any way on the login and signup pages people could login with social profiles OR the standard login. I have made the API keys and everything with Oneall and have installed their plugin. Is there any way to include Oneall’s features on the login page? Thanks!
Also how do I get a favicon? Thanks!
Hi,
After looking at the plugin info, it looks like you can place this code on the signup and or login pages to get the plugin to show up there:
<?php do_action('oa_social_login'); ?>This was found here on this page: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/oa-social-login/faq/As for the favicon, here is a Wordpress helper file that should be able to guide you through what you need to get it up on your site: http://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_a_Favicon
Hope that this works.
Regards,
-esterndesign
Never mind! I got it! Before nothing would show up on the sign up page.
Glad that you were able to get this to work!
I am still confused with the favicon. I did create a favicon through an online favicon creator and uploaded it to media. Is this right? Thank you for your time!
You can place it where you want but you need to just make sure your href destination is defined in your link tag to define the favicon:

How do I add footer widgets? Thanks!
Hi,
There are currently no footer widgets that you can add to this theme. There is a 728×90 banner ad that you can use and you can add any items to the footer menu.

-esterndesign
When I log in with my admin account and I click view profile it says 404 – Page Not Found. It’s like you can only edit your profile. Why is this and how can I fix it? Thank you for your time!
Hi,
Just checking to see if you have set your permalink value that is described in the installation guide that came with the theme?
I think that is what is going on here.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Regards,
-esterndesign
Oh I don’t think that I did that. Where can I find it?
It is in the folder marked installation in the zip file that you downloaded from themeforest.
Regards.
-esterndesign
Do I go here from the file link: file://localhost/Users/grant.kessler/Downloads/robust-qa-files-all/Installation-Guide-Help/index.html
Yes that’s correct. Follow the installation guide to make sure you theme is setup correct.
Regards.

I checked there and it did not display anything where it could help me set up permalinks. There were like two lines on permalinks but didn’t help.
You can learn more about permalinks and how to customize them as defined in the installation documentation:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_PermalinksRegards,
-esterndesign
I am still very confused on how to set permalinks for users to view their profile page. For example for my profile, when you go to http://ask.developergenius.com/profile/grantkessler/ nothing shows up. How do I get something to show up.
Did you modify the archive.php page? It is working on my dev box just trying to figure out what might be going on.
Did you modify anything else in the code that might be causing this?
Looks like your permalinks are working…
Has this been like this since you installed the theme before modifying the code?

I know that you can implement a 728×90 advertisement to the top of the website but can I change the dimensions of that to Google Adsense’s new type of ad: 970×90. When I tried implementing in that type of code it moved the advertisement to the side where the 728×90 advertisement would appear and I couldn’t center it nornally.
Hi,
I think you need to modify / create a new css class to define this ad size and then apply it to the top ad location in header.php. This should all you to get this to work.

Hi, I made my website about web developing but you can’t include HTML in a question or a comment! This is a major problem, does anyone know how to enable it to display HTML?
Hi,
1. You would need to remove the functions to strip out HTML tags from the posting methods.
2. You would need to add a tinyMCE Editor to any textareas that you want to have the code. There are others to choose from.
A ward of caution on this since you are allowing people to post code which could mess up the site layout.
Hope this directs you to make the changes on your side.
Regards,
-esterndesign
How could I make it where the HTML just appeared as text? I don’t really know how to explain but like, lets say someone uploads an html code that would normally display a picture, but when they uploaded it it just showed the code.
You could post html for people to use on their website. It would be like stackoverflow.com.
Hi,
I think you are talking about a syntax highlighter. You could go about this a couple ways:
1.) Find an add-on that you can add to your theme.
2.) You could find one probably on wordpress.org such as this one: http://wordpress.org/plugins/syntaxhighlighter/
I have not tested these but this should get you started in that direction.

I want to buy this theme, could you plz add facebook / twitter connect to the register page, another think, if I want that the user can chnage thier question after they upload to the website (edit question)
Hi,
I plan to keep the FB / social logins to remain as a plugin so those authors will be the most familiar with it and if the services change their logic it will be much easier to update.
I thought about having edit question after posting but the fact that someone could go in and change the thoughts that were done was the reason why i left this out.
I am sorry at this time that I am unable to provide these features for this theme.

Hi there,
For some reason the category links are all wrong: http://www.wettfuchs.net/wettanbieter/
The same problem here: http://www.casinofuchs.net/
The Kategory links to http://www.casinofuchs.net/category/casino/ instead of http://www.casinofuchs.net/casino/
Also the links to the sub categories are wrong.
Please advice.
Hi,
The category pages seem to be working fine. Do you have any overriding permalink category term that might be doing this?
Regards,
-esterndesign
Those are the permalink settings:
Custom permalink structure: / category / postname /
Kategorie-Basis: forum
Can you please explain in more details what is wrong since i see the category links working as designed….
Regards,
-esterndesign
If you click on wettfuchs.net in the main menu on “Kategorien” the link is pointing to: category/wettanbieter/ which doesn’t exist on the server. However, we’ve arranged a redirect to wettanbieter/ as a temporary solution. The links should point to the correct URLs though.
Also try to click on any sub category on this page and you will get a 404 error: http://www.casinofuchs.net/casino/
In addition the bread crumps don’t work on any page.
Thank you.
Can I expect an answer and support here?
That’s not how I understand “support” after paying for a theme.
Hi,
Sorry for the delay, i was on holiday for a few days… just getting back today.
Is there a way you could message me your login for your sites so that i can see what is going on in the wp-admin side of things. I want to be able to rule out something first?
I am guessing this has something to do with the fact that both of your sites are translated into other languages.
Thank you.
-esterndesign
That sounds great. I will send you my Skype user name if that’s okay for you!? Thank you very much.
Please contact me.
Hi. I did contact you and emailed you via your requested soure of Skype days ago I am waiting on your request.
Hi..can we add facebook share/like/addthis at every page of post Questions?
You can do this via a plugin. You can target where you want this interaction to happen.
Regards,
-esterndesign
And..for the banner top and below…why it not appear when view using mobile?
Due to the size of the ad, when you scale 728×90 images it might not look very good. You could re-code it to make ti scale but there are different factors that are harder to standardize.
Regards,
-esterndesign
hope that this helps answer your question
Can we add more 25×25px banner? coz right i saw only two can be add.
i mean 125×125
You could add them manually to the sidebar php page.

What is the different between ROBUST QA and Instant QA?
Robust brings more features and a different layout.
Robust has these features that Instant Doesn’t: - Responsive design for mobile devices - Easy Translations page - 2 Col layout - Like Content (questions, answers) (built in) - Reporting (questions, answers, comments) (built in) - Easy Themeable site colors for bg and other items - Plus much more…
You can see all of the features for both themes fully detailed here:
Robust: http://wordpressqa.com/?theme=robust Instant: http://wordpressqa.com/?theme=instantHope this helps!
