Hi, this is a pre sale question, I really like your theme :) now, concerning Sensei, I have ait downloaded in a demo website, and I’d like to know if your theme includes some better possibility concerning the courses… with a basic theme, sensei, its like an article to create the content… have you added like a page builder or a similar tool for the course content? thanks,

Hi there,

We don’t have any page builders or anything like that built into the theme. Skillfully uses the default WordPress post editor to create posts, courses, etc.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks!

I am working on a personal project to create some training videos and found your theme to look very relevant. I downloaded and installed your theme and the features in the demo are not available in the theme. After some research I see much of the functionality is not available without spending a considerable amount more. I think your theme could be a great option but at this point I don’t have the capital to invest to meet the needs of the project. I purchased your theme an hour ago, can you please offer a refund as I am not going to use the product for my project.

Go ahead and open a refund request.

Thank you very much, I just submitted.

Is the theme compatible with WPML?

Hi there,

We haven’t tested Skillfully with WPML but the theme is fully translatable and should work. If you have any issues using WPML, just open up a ticket and we’ll help you out.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks,

I want to create a tutorials marketplace like tuto.com (with several vendors)

It’s possible with Skillfully?

Thanks!

Hi there,

Just to be clear, the functionality of Skillfully (the ability to create & manage courses) is all driven by the Sensei plugin by WooCommerce.

That said, the tuto.com website looks pretty similar to how you would setup a course with Sensei. You can add videos to every lesson and restrict those lessons to active students only.

If you’ve got any additional questions about specific functionality or anything like that, please let me know.

Thanks,

Hi! How users can create courses? I don’t see a “create course” button in the demo.

Thanks! David.

Hi David,

In order for users to create courses, they must have the correct role/user capabilities: https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/sensei-roles-capabilities/

You can set this up with the Sensei user settings.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks,

I am willing to purchase this theme… But wanted to know whether I can use Learndash LMS plug in with this theme or not??? is this theme going to work with Learndash functionalities???... My main concern is – is it going to look good or presentable?

Can it work with PaidMemberships Pro too in sync with Learndash???

Hi there,

No, Skillfully is only setup to use Sensei + WooCommerce. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Thanks,

Hi, I am thinking to purchase this theme. However, I noticed that there has been no update for the last 5 months.

Couple of questions

Do you have plans for future updates? Does the theme work with PHP 7 Can I translate all items in the theme?

Kind regards,

Roger

Hey Roger,

Yes, we maintain our themes on a regular basis. Priority usually goes to bug fixes and ensuring compatibility with the latest WP standards or other plugin updates. Then, based on demand, we’ll work on feature releases.

Yes, the theme will work with PHP 7. If you have any issues, please let us know.

The theme is fully translatable. Here’s a good write-up of how to translate a WP theme if you haven’t done it before: https://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/how-to-translate-a-wordpress-theme/

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks!

Hello, I will develop an e-learning platform for a university. I would like to know if the theme supports items like videos, forum, quiz, registration form and login. I bought sensei and installed in my wordpress. Do you have refund policy? My client asked for something more like the coursera platform. Best Regards,

Hello Bryan, Thank you!!!! I Have one more question. If you have how to administer the student, for example, when you entered, left, status

Are you referring to how to manage the users who are signed up for the courses? Here’s some documentation for Sensei that outlines how you can manage the learners for your courses: https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/learner-management/

Does that answer your question?

hummm….maybe. I’m going to study better. Thank you

Hi

Do you have an email address I can contact you on? I’d like to send a brief of what we need and to see if this can do what we need it to.

Thanks.

Hi there,

You can fill out our customization request form here. We’ll get you a reply and we can go from there!

Hello guys.

Pre sale question

Is it WPML compatible? Does it have any visual composer in it? Is VC compatible?

Thank you!

Guys, your theme is really nice. But so little customisable..

I mean. Why is not possible to edit the front page / homepage with the normal editor? and all of the blocks are pre settled?

How can we achieve to have 3 column instead of 4 ( latest courses in homepage )

Hi there,

Sorry for the delayed reply! To answer your questions:

1) We haven’t tested the theme with WPML but Skillfully is fully translatable. The WPML plugin should work. If you have any issues we can definitely help you out.

2) No, there are no styles or code specifically for Visual Composer but I know a few users have successfully used VC on their sites with Skillfully.

3) Yes, the homepage template layout is not editable with the WP editor. We can certainly help you with any support questions on our support forum including some basic CSS help to get you pointed in the right direction if customizing the theme is what you’re looking to do. We also offer customization services if needed.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks,

Looking to understand how offline courses are integrated with the online courses. I was reading a review that stated:

This theme also integrates with the free Events Calendar plugin and the premium Events Calendar Pro and WooCommerce Tickets plugins. Making use of these extensions then gives you the option of selling tickets to your online learning events, or even offline classes.

Are they listed together under courses, or in separate sections.

By offline courses, we mean a physical class that you would go to. You’d probably want to list those under Events.

What is integration level with Sensei. Theme just wraps around sensei content or does it allow to manage Sensei lessons access with Restrict Content Pro?

Hi there,

Skillfully styles the course and lesson output for Sensei. Skillfully is also now compatible with Restrict Content Pro allowing you to create subscriptions for your users and restrict content based on subscription level.

Let me know if this helps or if you have any other questions.

Thanks,

Bryan – DC Staff

Do you know how Restrict Content Pro integrates with Sensei? Because I already have Sensei and some courses and I’m looking for some fine theme for it. Especially something that will allow Memebership options.

Technically, RCP doesn’t integrates with Sensei, but we’ve integrated RCP into the theme which is integrated with Sensei, if that makes sense.

With RCP active, you have the ability to hide courses or even individual lessons based on RCP subscription level. The Screenshots you see on the item info page show how a course looks when locked by RCP subscription.

Hey there Jake and Bryan – I’m curious, by dint of the 2.0 release featuring most notably RCP for content restriction on courses ( a great idea) – and per the screenshot in the item details – i’m a bit perplexed that there doesn’t seem to be an example of RCP being used on the demo – to sort of illustrate and illuminate how it looks/feels and styles what folks aren’t going to get until they subscribe. Am I missing something – or is the demo course on the screenshot – or any other RCP content – not actually on the live demo for us to visually see – per the 2.0 release? (I searched a few different strings – and can’t seem to find it) Thanks :-)

Hello!

You are correct, we do not have a demo with RCP set up. We do have a few screenshots on the RCP section of the theme details page here on ThemeForest showing you what a course looks like when it’s locked and what a pricing table plugin would look like on your homepage.

I’ll try to get a demo set up with RCP here in the next day or so if you’d like. If you have any specific questions, please also let me know.

Thanks,

Bryan – DC Staff

Hello, is this theme compatible with WooCommerce Subscriptions extension? https://woocommerce.com/products/woocommerce-subscriptions/

Hi there,

Yes, WooCommerce Subscriptions should work with Skillfully. The Sensei team has tested it and confirms that Sensei will work with WC Subscriptions: https://docs.woothemes.com/document/sensei-and-membership/

That being said, we recently (last week) released an update for Skillfully to make it compatible with Restrict Content Pro. I would recommend taking a look at RCP for subscriptions and memberships if you’re interested.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks,

Bryan – DC Staff

Hello, I am looking for a theme that would allow me to sell my video course(s). What I am hoping to accomplish is #1 allow users to view/buy my course(s) #2 users can login and view all the videos that are included in the course(s). Is this something this theme offers? If not, what theme would you recommend? Thanks in advance!

Also am I able to put a video on my home page that will automatically start playing when people come onto my site?

Hello! The short answer to your question is ‘yes’.

Skillfully has little functionality in it. What it does is style the output of the Sensei plugin. Sensei allows you to sell your courses, and Skillfully makes it look good. So you can allow users to buy courses on a course by course basis which would allow them to view the videos available for those courses.

We don’t have anything built into the theme to autoplay a video. But if you embed something like YouTube video that has the autoplay option on, that would autoplay.

Hello! I’m very interested in this theme but have a prepurchase question… I am using A TON of plugins. Do you know of any incompatibility with: Backup Buddy, BBPress, Buddypress for Sensei, Groups, Groups for WooCommerce, LocoTranslate, MailPoet, Sensei Content Drip (<- very important), Wordpress File Upload Pro

Thanks! Liz

Hello again,

A faster solution would be to roll back to a previous version of WooCommerce, one that the theme files is still compatible with. Here’s a link to Version 2.7.0 (current version is 3.0.1). You won’t miss out on anything and you should still be able to register your students the way you did before.

WooCommerce 2.7.0: https://cl.ly/2u1l3o3p3s1r

Let me know if this helps or if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Bryan – DC Staff

Thank you again! I cannot do that because WooCommerce Old isn’t compatible with some other newer plugins that I have. If you could just send me a couple files to swap out that contain the fix I can easily add them via FTP. liz@herculiz.com

Hi there, I just emailed you a zip folder of the updated files. As I mentioned, we’re still working on the theme update but these should do the trick. If you have any questions or need anything else, just reply to my email.

Thanks,

Bryan – DC Staff

I know my support has expired, and I plan on looking into a fix myself. But I wanted to report a bug that a user encountered.

When a user creates a new account by visiting https://domain.com/my-courses/??, they input the password (which appears to work) but wordpress still sends the new user an email titled ” Your username and password info” asking them to set their password by clicking a link.

Hey there,

That is interesting. I am able to replicate this on our demo install. I’m not 100% sure if this is related to WordPress or WooCommerce/Sensei but I am going to do a little more research and follow up as soon as I have more information.

Thanks,

Bryan – DC Staff

Yeah I found it to be an interesting bug as well. I’m wondering if it’s a wordpress core bug. I don’t recall seeing that behavior previously, so maybe this is something due to a recent code change on their end.

Hi It is possible to secure login attempts by installing plugins like “login ninja” or similar free plugins by using login link on top right side of index page ? I notice login page is http://themes.designcrumbs.com/skillfully/my-courses/ but login attempts plugins working with standard http://themes.designcrumbs.com/skillfully/wp-login.php Thank you

Hi there,

I’m not familiar with Login Ninja but my assumption is that this should work. The form that you see on Skillfully is still used to log you into the WP site.

That being said, I suggest reaching out to the plugin team as well to find out if there are any requirements for the plugin to work properly (such as the URL of the login form, as you suggested).

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Bryan – DC Staff

Hi, how to add reCAPTCHA to login page only to register form

Hi there,

In the future, please open up a ticket on the support forum for support related questions. You can open tickets on the forum here: http://designcrumbs.ticksy.com

That being said, you can use a plugin like WordPress ReCaptcha Integration: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-recaptcha-integration/. Install and activate the plugin. It will ask you for your reCaptcha keys in the plugin settings. Once you’ve finished setting everything up, you can choose which forms you’d like to add reCaptcha to.

Hope this helps!

Thanks,

Bryan – DC Staff

I’m sorry, next time I open up a ticket on the support forum. Thx for your help

I searched all the option but still not able to change the layout of my website. I want to change my website layout from boxed to full screen.. please help

Hi there, I don’t know if you meant to open 3 tickets but again, if you could submit a ticket over on our forum, I can help you out there.

Thanks!
