Hello, I am interested in purchasing this theme, but I had some questions on if you think this theme will suit my needs.

I am planning on creating a music review/rating website which is user rating based. I would like the site to have a basic grid based layout which sorts by highest rated/featured artists. I would also like each artist to have their own mini page which users can listen to their music & read about them before voting.

My vision is very similar to these two websites: http://warped.battleofthebands.com http://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100

I’m sorry for the very detailed question. I’d just rather ask up front if this theme would be right for me. Thank you in advance!

Hi there,

The theme allows you to rank items by user rating. You can add them to a Featured category to only display specific items.

If you want to have a page for each artist in the same way the demo has a page for each game then this will work for you.

Hello, This is a great theme! and I want to purchase it because it has most of the functions I need already bundled with it. However, I need to add some more functionality and edit most of the working of the theme to suit my needs. Although I know a bit of programming but I believe you, being the creator of the theme, would be in a better position to get the website to do exactly what I want, or at least close. Therefore, I would like to know if you offer deep theme customization services and also I would like to know how much it costs. Thank you.

Hi there,

Thanks for your interest. I do not do any custom work myself but you can contact my developer who does all the custom work for my customers and has worked with this theme before . You can check out their previous work and get a quote from them at http://www.ourwebmedia.com/ghostpool.php?aff=002

Hi,

I’m interested on your theme, but is there any way to see the wp-admin configurations that have the theme?

If is posible to have a demo user to see this configurations it would be very helpful.

And one question, when you enter a game page (http://gauge.wpengine.com/call-of-duty-ghosts/news/ ) there is a “Buy Now” button, the url of this button where you can edit it? you can have one for each game or you can have multiple url for the same game? (for example one for pc, another for ps4, etc)

Thanks

Thanks

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.

You can change this URL for each game, but not for each platform, unless you create a new game for each platform.

Hello,

I’m thinking of buying this template for my review site.

A few questions before i purchase.

1. is the e-commerce plug in pre-installed? (Do i need to install this on my server?) 2. is buddypress plug in pre-installed? (Do i need to install this on my server?) 3. Can I add a paid subscription option in the shop to open up private threads on the forum and other member benefits?

Many thanks.

Hi there,

1) No it is not preinstalled – there’s no reason for it to be. All you need to do with search for it in the plugins directory and click install and activate. :)

2) See 1).

3) It’s possible I guess, but the theme does not have this feature.

I’ve just got a quick question here. And that is if it’s a lot of work to add a decimal to the site rating system.

Let me explain what i mean. If i add 3.5 that’s what i see on the review page, but if i add 3.0 i only see 3 on the review page. I want to have that last decimal for those ratings that haven’t got (.something) after the first number.

Hi there,

Hmmm, I suspect this would take a lot of work actually, but I’d need to look into it for you and can do so for support customers.

Your support for this item has expired (you received 6 months of free support when you purchased the theme). You will need to renew your support in order for me to help you. To do this visit the item page where you purchased the theme from and click the “Renew support” button on the right hand side.

For more information please see: https://help.market.envato.com/hc/en-us/articles/207886473-Extending-and-Renewing-Item-Support

Ok, thank you for your answer. I will look into renewing our support for this theme. :)

Hello quick questions:

Is it possible to have the header (logo,menu) separated from the background . Not on top of it. Also, are the user registration and login functional or do i have to buy another plugin for that.

Thanks

Hi there,

Yes there is an option to move the header above the background.

Yes login and registration are fully functional, as they are on any WordPress theme. WordPress has these features by default. :)

Ok, cos i got a theme and the author said i have to get some other plugin to make it functional.

I think they were probably referring to specific login/register features such as pop up logins, social logins etc. To confirm, all WordPress themes allow users to login and register. The Gauge theme also comes with front-end login/register form (lots of themes do not have this feature). It also supports social login (login via Twitter/Facebook), which requires a free plugin.

Hey. Love the theme. When I’m creating a hub, everything works fine but when I try to add a review it creates a new page.

I have tried to add a review by editing the page or by adding a page and putting in the child page on the sidebar section of the page creation page.

How can I add a review to a game hub without it adding a brand new page? Every game with a review has the game title page and game title review page with it.

Hi there, I really want this theme but my site is RTL. Is there any chance you add support for that?

Hi there,

There are no plans to add RTL support sorry.

Hi there,

I am interesting in buying this theme. I would like to know if users can leave reviews anonymously?

I have searched in the comments but could not find an answer.

Thank you.

Hi there,

Users can leave ratings without logging in, if you allow this.

Users can write user reviews without logging in, if you allow this. They have to provide a name and email address though as you can see on the demo site: http://gauge.wpengine.com/call-of-duty-ghosts/write-a-review/

i dont understand why you say “buddypress integrated” no post and likes on buddypress profiles good theme but simple integration ;(

Hi there,

I say this because I spent a lot of time restyling BuddyPress and bbPress so they use exactly the same styling as the theme. The demo site has plenty of BuddyPress demo content so I don’t know what you mean by “no post and likes on buddypress profiles”, besides integration has nothing to do with demo content, it refers to the BuddyPress working with the theme completely.

Hi there,

Your theme looks like it’d fit my needs perfectly for a gaming site, but for a couple of changes:

1) Aggregate user reviews under the review section of each game rather than having the site write reviews

2) Have the average user score be the game’s site score

I’d like to check if it’d be relatively simple to customise the site in this manner (simple as in from the CMS or tweaks to the css/php files, not writing new code) once I purchase the theme?

Thanks!

Hi there,

1) Yes this is possible.

2) Yes.

The theme comes with options to change nearly all the theme colours and fonts. If you want to customize the theme further you will need to use CSS which can be added via the CSS Code option or by using a child theme.

Hello, I am trying to build a site were members (who pay a monthly fee) would have access to my daily posts. I will be providing a (daily) list for foreclosure auction’s in 3 different counties and need a theme that will give my clients a back page and neatly organize the list for them to understand what is going on. Also how smooth is this theme on mobile view, I would like my client to be able to sign on there smart phones while they are at auction and be able to access the list easily.

Hi there,

The theme does not offer any of these features, it sounds like you need to hire a developer to create such a specific set of features.

Hello, Hub Category is not WPML friendly since i have found out half year ago, whenever i save those categories in other language, the original language category will be not showing. Hope this could be fix soon. Thanks :)

Hi there,

This is an issue between Redux and WPML. I’ve spoken with WPML and Redux about this in the past and neither had a solution. Have you contacted WPML to see if they have any suggestions?

Hello , i am interested into buying this fabulous theme . Want to know i want to use the site to advertise my computer business , etc services i supply , reviews on hardware related items (motherboards etc..) will this theme be a good choice for me . And i am going to use the shop to sell hardware as well . Kind Regards.

Hi there,

I can’t say whether this theme will be a good choice for you based on you telling me you’re going to review hardware, but want I can say is if you want to review hardware in the same way the demo site reviews games this theme will work for you.

Is it possible to get an item flagged as video in the normal news stream? Can’t seem to figure it out! Thanks!

Hey, I will be buying the theme but just wondering if there are plans to include Twitch as one of the social media icons at the top of the page?

Hi there,

There is an option in the theme to add additional icons using the built in font icons which includes Twitch.

Hi GP, my support has ended, but I wanted to give you a heads up, I just installed ver 6.7 and the warning at the top (after activation) is that “Visual Sidebars Editor” is required (not recommended like the others). In looking through the WP plugin directory, there is nothing by that name, or even similar to that name. How domain this plugin?

Thanks!
