So, generally I really like the new version of the theme, thanks. But I REALLY preferred the old style of the groups directory. Really, really not a fan of the new one. AND it’s the most important page on my site. Is there way to revert the old style for just the groups page?

(also, everyone on my site seems to agree. Might end up reverting to old version if we can’t change it.)

Thanks for the comments. Head over to the support forum and I’ll provide you with a solution.

Thanks.

In the description it mentions a theme design for bbPress and shows a photo of a forum. I have this theme, but the forums are not redesigned. Is this an error? Or is that just not included in the theme?

Oh, I didn’t even know there was an update! I have the notification checked, but don’t think I got an email…. Is there a way to see what’s changed in the new version?

Nevermind, I found the changelog in the help files.

ALSO just found the notification email. I just missed it :( Sorry about that!

lost responsiveness after update.. weird

Is there any demo username and pass to try theme?

Hi there,

As with most themes sold here we unfortunately do not provide the ability to test the theme before you purchase it. The main reason for this is a demo would be editable by all users and as a result some users would completely ruin the theme and the potential buyer would then get a completely skewed view of how the theme works. When a reliable theme demo plugin is available, there are plans to allow theme testing.

However if you have any specific questions or want to see any screenshots let me know.

Hello, I bought the buddy theme two months ago and I’m kind of disappointed. there are never updates, the CSS is never externalized, so is the JavaScript. There a so many bugs, especially with the slider which disappears due to plugins incompatibility. And, it never displays any real-time notification for buddy press.

I do not intend to get something perfect. Otherwise I would invest much more cash. The fact remains that there are too many compatibility issues with Wordpress addons and it is too bad for a Wordpress theme.

Please, fix it for the social login buttons addons. Please, fix this kind of issuse for the “abuse report” button addon (for Buddy Press). Please, fix it for the realtime notification addon (for BuddyPress and why no realtime notification directly in the nav bar, like Facebook ?).

Why can I see so many JavaScript lines in the header ?

Why can I see inline CSS ?

I am not asking you to make me get 100 % to Google Page Speed Insights (google.com itself does not reach this score) but only 50 % is low, very low. Please understand this.

When I go to the “write a message” section, I cannot type a member’s name, it has never worked.

I copy this message to your support center so that you take it into account and, hopefully, can fix it at most.

Thanks in advance.

I have replied to your support ticket.

So did I.

Is there a free trial available?

Hi there,

No sorry there’s no way to provide you with a free trial without you having access to the full version of the theme. As with any themes here you need to purchase it before you can install it.

However if you have any questions or want to see any screenshots of a particular part of the site before you purchase it, please let me know.

Hello I like your theme and i have any questions.

1 like BuddyPress, Can i adapt for user’s community? And How can they register?

2 In this forum, User can post and attach pictures in any post. right?

Hi there,

1) I’m not sure what you mean by “adapt the user’s community”? BuddyPress provide a registration page for users to register, just make sure you enable the registration option from your WordPress settings page.

2) Yes you can display images in posts, but bbPress does not allow you to attach images that you have not hosted yourself – you’ll need to use a bbPress plugin to do this. I suggest asking bbPress about this, since it relates to their plugin and not the theme.

Hello, 1 How can i add register page? 2 How can i change top menu font size?

Hi,

I really want to buy your theme but have some questions.

1. Will you help me add social login that integrates fully with the theme design as well as functionality?? 2. If i want some designs to be changes, very minor ones, will you help me do that by providing codes and guidance?? 3. Is it possible to add front end lost password page? 5. I don’t my sites users to be directed to wp backend no matter what. What can be the scenarios that a user will be directed to the backend of the site? one being lost password, is there any other such scenarios?

Hi there,

1 and 2) Thanks for your question, but this isn’t covered by theme support. If you have any questions about how to use the theme or want to report a bug then we can help you out. However support does not include any services that modify or extend the theme beyond the original features, style and functionality advertised on the item page. For a more detailed explanation of what support does and does not cover check out Envato’s support definition and guidelines for buyers here: http://themeforest.net/page/item_support_policy

What you’re asking for is classed as a customisation. You can contact my developer OurWebMedia at http://www.ourwebmedia.com/ghostpool.php?aff=002 and they will be able to give you a quote for this work.

3) Yes.You will either need to use a plugin or you could hire my developer to do this for you.

4) If you allow visitors to sign up they will see the profile edit page in the backend. Again there’s probably a few plugins out there that completely hide the backend for users. Search the plugin directory for this at https://wordpress.org/plugins/

Hi there,

In the members page, is it posible to order the users by a specific type? I mean, in the fields of “Last Active”, “Newest registerd” and “Alphabetical” add, for example: “Male”, “Female”... and just show the type you select.

Thanks.

Jorge.

Hi there,

The theme doesn’t provide this option, so I’m not sure if this is possible. This is a BuddyPress page – part of the BuddyPress plugin, so you’re better off asking BuddyPress about this. :)

What does it mean your support will end in 5 months??? When I bought this item two years ago, you hadn’t a limited support!

Hi there,

Out of my hands I’m afraid this applies to any theme on the marketplace. Envato have changed their support policy. All buyers now get 6 months of free support when they purchase a theme, this includes people who bought the theme prior to this change which took place on September 1st. After the 6 months you can choose to pay for an additional 12 months of support.

Will this theme allow users to post files such as Microsoft word excel and pdf files?

Hi there,

This isn’t really a theme question, it’s a general WordPress question. WordPress does support Excel and PDF files according to their documentation here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Uploading_Files

Hello,

(Pre-purchase question)

Does this theme use the default Buddypress members page? The reason I ask is that I would like to integrate a plugin (Geo my WP – Members directory) into this plugin but it specifically states it won’t work if the theme uses a custom members page.

Thanks for any assistance you can provide with this. Here is the link to the plugin I mentioned: https://geomywp.com/add-ons/geo-members-directory/

Hi there,

Yes the theme use the default BuddyPress page – no changes have been made to it. :)

Hi, Do you have any demo account to sign in?

What is the demo login and password to check user profile

Oh sorry I thought you were referring to another theme of mine which has this functionality! Yes the Buddy theme redirects to the default WordPress login and lost password pages currently, there are plans to move all of this to the frontend in a future update. Sorry for the confusion.

oh oki.

when are these updates will take place. any estimate date ?

with these features and validation of the forms.

Thanks.

Yes the forms will contain validation. No ETA on them unfortunately.

Hi GP, i really like to use this theme for my community site, but i have a few questions first. (1) Can i create a 3 or 4 column post masonry layout with left sidebar? (2) Is it compatible with Visual Composer? (3) I need to create custom profile fields (with a plugin), will they be visible on the registration form? (4) Lost pasword brings to the default wp backend login form, will this be changed ? Thanks!

Hi there,

1) There is no masonry feature with this theme, you’ll need to use a plugin such as Visual Composer to insert one into a page and then it will work.

2) The theme has not been tested with the Visual Composer, but I don’t see any reason why it would not work.

3) As far as I know the BuddyPress registration page will display your custom fields.

4) There are plans in the future to add a front-end lost password page.

Ok great thanks!

hi! nice theme! there is demo date?

Hi there,

Yes the theme comes with full demo data.

My site appears to be infected with malware after installing the theme … the malware script is from http://clkdeals.com ... Please help me fix the issue. It’s a pop under
