Hi,

WP Job Manager – Extended Location, WP Job Manager – Claim Listing, WP Job Manager – Stats are one time purchase plugins? Or we have to purchase every year like annual subscriptions like WooCommerce Bookings, WooCommerce Subscriptions etc?

Also Can we change from WC Vendors Pro to Woocommerce Product vendors and all the vendors data will remain as it is, by changing plugins do we have to start again from 0?

Hi there!

Hope you are doing well.

For our plugins, you are not required to extend your subscription, but it will allow you access to our support and updates.

I have not used WC Vendors Pro and do not know if all data will transfer over when migrating to the WooCommerce Product Vendors plugin. That might be a question you can ask the WooCommerce theme since it is their plugin. See here: https://woocommerce.com/contact-us/

If you have any questions or if I can be of any further help, please let me know!

Kind regards,

Fernando

Thanks

Pre-sale Question: I am looking at your demo and see the 3 article blog posts that are on the front page. It seems that they are different heights. In mobile I guess this doesn’t matter because they would be stacked, but in desktop it looks sloppy. All the other images for the listings, categories, etc. are all set to be equal heights. Is there a reason why this is this way? Can this be corrected without custom coding? I would think you would simply have this designed to fit a standard container size – is this possible?

The image I provided you is from our demo and that is the standard for all installs. I checked on various browsers/devices and was not able to replicate that. What browser are you using?

Cheers! Fernando

I am using Mozilla. Here is a screenshot so you can see what I’m seeing. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/i97fx64ta0369am/AACwtSHBJiOf-4gsEc5t3BBAa?dl=0

Thanks for the image, I thought you were referring to the image only and not the content. The overall height is determined by the content of the post as well. I have brought this up to the team to improve this.

Let me know if you still have any further questions or concerns!

Cheers! Fernando

Hi I would like to remove the regions field in the listing submission form? How can I do this?

Hi there!

You can either use the WP Job Manager Field Editor plugin to edit the submission form and remove the field altogether. Another alternative is deactivating the Predefined Regions plugin. Removing Regions altogether.

Fernando

Hi. please check demo on IE !! footer display on header !

Hi there!

Thank you for letting us know!

Looks like our website was cached. This was an issue with a previous release of Listify. We have since released a fix for this and won’t be an issue on their install.

If you have any questions or if I can be of any further help, please let me know!

Kind regards,

Fernando

For Mobile View, if you have it default as a list how can it go to grid when in mobile?

Hi there,

For Mobile, you can only change the style of the Listing card and not the layout. You can toggle the style through the customizer.

Fernando

Hello,

I’m interested into buying theme by I have 3 pre-sale questions because some things are still not clear to me.

1. When I buy this theme, does it come as demonstrated in your demo? What you see is what you get? Is Geolocation search just like in

https://listify-demos.astoundify.com/classic/listing-category/restaurants/

and the “Claim a listing” feature and price package included in the purchase?

Or do I have to buy plugins to make it work as demonstrated in demo?

2. Are payment systems like PayPal, Stripe included?

3. Currenlty I’m using theme Pointfinder and was wondering whether it’s possible to import all my advertorials and blogposts from Pointfinder to Listify?

Sorry for any confusion, we don’t bundle plugin with our theme, unfortunately. You can read more into this here.

Cheers! Fernando

Hey Fernando,

I try to avoid plugins as much as I can because of conflictions, updates and using too much server resources affecting site performance.

I was hoping this was a theme relying on its own scripts (like geolocation, location-based search, claim listings, payment systems, etc.); a plug-and-play theme. Just install theme and launch business right from the start without worrying about external plugins conflicting with theme.

Thanks for the info!

Thank you for your interest!

If you do have any other questions let me know and I would be more than happy to answer them! :)

Kind regards,

Fernando

Dear Listify,

I’m impressed with the demo of your theme and I’m interested to purchase for my usage, which have my concerns and wish to clarify:

1) I’m planning to build up different directory as per different town at different websites, did Listify have the function of synchronize listing between different websites (different domain; for example ABC.com and DEF.com)?

2) Can the membership level can be extend via other membership plugin such as Ultimate Member? From my understanding current development theme allow for different type of listing. Is the membership level extension lies within WooCommerce addons?

Sorry for long write up and I’m really wish to have such development for my Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) – JCI Malaysia as we have 56 chapters (aka branches) in different town at Malaysia and we wish to have 56 different town listing + 1 TOTAL listing under National Umbrella.

Regards, Jay Chong National Information Technology Commission Chairman http://JCI.my

Wow, I am not sure what happened :s My apologies! Let me answer the question.

At this time, Listify can’t grab or sync listings from other websites, unfortunately. You can definitely import listings from other websites using the WP All Import but not sync up with another websites content.

Hope that clears up your question and sorry for the confusion.

If you have any questions or if I can be of any further help, please let me know!

Kind regards,

Fernando

Dear Fernando,

Don’t worry and i’m impressed with your response and explanation!

Anyway, i understand that Listify didn’t have sync function yet and i had go through the plugins suggested by you, i saw:

--—-WP ALL Impact PRO Version--- WP All Import Pro is a paid upgrade that includes premium support and adds the following features:

1. Import data to Custom Fields – used by many themes, especially those using Custom Post Types – to store data associated with the posts.

2. Import images to the post media gallery – WP All Import can download images from URLs in an XML or CSV file and put them in the media gallery.

3. Cron Job/Recurring Imports – WP All Import pro can check periodically check a file for updates, and add, edit, and delete to the imported posts accordingly.

4. Import files from a URL – Download and import files from external websites, even if they are password protected with HTTP authentication. URL imports are integrated with the recurring/cron imports feature, so WP All Import can periodically re-download the files and add, edit, and delete posts accordingly.

5. Execution of Custom PHP Functions on data, i.e. use something like [my_function({xpath/to/a/field1})] in your template, to pass the value of {xpath/to/a/field1} to my_function and display whatever it returns.

--—-WP ALL Impact PRO Version---

Do you think that the number 3 + 4 combine can be solution to my scenario, for example MAIN website will be importing listing from sub-websites in certain period, like daily?

Just my curiosity and i understand very much that this is beyond Listify. :)

I have not tried it, but It should be fine. I would just check with the developers of the plugin to verify. I would contact them also to ensure if the feature will work with our Listify Add-on : https://wordpress.org/plugins/listify-xml-csv-listings-import/

Hope this helps! :)

If you have any questions or if I can be of any further help, please let me know!

Kind regards,

Fernando

hi,

1. Can this theme handle booking, ecommerce selling, reservation, and subscriptions at the same time, like can we activate and run booking, multiple vendors, reservation and subscription plugins all at the same time?

2. Does this theme comptible with WC Vendors Pro plugin?

3. Does this theme allows to set featured listing/product/services for time-based, like can we set features packages for 1 month, 2months, etc and automatically turns off at the expiration of the time.

4. Please explain how does the “Listing Region” works, how does the drop-down list generated, does admin has to create the drop-down lint or its automated?

5. Can we create dynamic site, like if a visitor is from US then booking is done in USD, if user is from France he sees the site in french language and bookings done in Euro, also how to set the homepage contents based on visitors location?

6. After clicking on location cross-hair which gets my location, clicking on below listed services doesn’t shows the providers from my location, what i want to say is that if clicking on location cross-hair then clicking on any services must list the providers from that location, else if directly clicking on services must show premium providers.

Thanks

Hi there!

Hope you are doing well today!

Question: 1. Can this theme handle booking, ecommerce selling, reservation, and subscriptions at the same time, like can we activate and run booking, multiple vendors, reservation and subscription plugins all at the same time?

Answer: Although each listing can only be managed by a vendor, can create bookings for each of their listings. You can see what is available: How do I take bookings on my listing pages?

Bookings are only a one time fee, and there is no subscription option available for bookings.

Question: 2. Does this theme compatible with WC Vendors Pro plugin?

Answer: We, unfortunately, do not provide support for the WC Vendors Pro plugin. You can use the WooCommerce Product Vendors plugin with Listify instead.

Question: 3. Does this theme allows to set featured listing/product/services for time-based, like can we set features packages for 1 month, 2months, etc and automatically turns off at the expiration of the time.

Answer: A featured package is still bound to the listing duration field. There is no option to turn off the featured feature. The listing will either expire or remain featured depending on the listing duration field.

Question: 4. Please explain how does the “Listing Region” works, how does the drop-down list generated, does admin has to create the drop-down lint or its automated?

Answer: Listing Region can be used as a filter if you wish for your website to search listings. See here: Filter Listings by Region

You will need to populate the regions through the admin panel.

Question:5. Can we create dynamic site, like if a visitor is from US then booking is done in USD, if user is from France he sees the site in french language and bookings done in Euro, also how to set the homepage contents based on visitors location?

Answer:Unfortunately, the WooCommerce plugin only allows for one currency to be used on your website. You can read further here: https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/shop-currency/

Question: 6. After clicking on location cross-hair which gets my location, clicking on below listed services doesn’t shows the providers from my location, what I want to say is that if clicking on location cross-hair then clicking on any services must list the providers from that location, else if directly clicking on services must show premium providers.

Answer: The WP Job Manager plugin only will display results if your search criteria match any results. It will return zero results if it does not match the criteria. There currently is no option around this to display premium providers if results would have returned zero results.

If you have any questions or if I can be of any further help, please let me know!

Kind regards,

Fernando

Hi Fernando,

Thanks for your reply.

I think there is some kind of misunderstanding in questions 1&2, or I might have not presented the questions well.

No worries I well try to explain it again:

1. Now suppose I am running website on your theme for bookings and rerservations services, for that I have installed WC Bookings plugin. Now I want to expand my business and want to extend my site for ecommerce sellings, for that I will add new appropriate plugin. So will this work fine if I add multiple plugins and run at the same time? (additional query)I think there is seperate commission system for WC Bookings and WC Product-vendors, how will this system work if I add both plugins.

2. Can I add WC Vendors Pro plugin, for support they have got there own forum. So can we add third party plugins in your theme or its just compatible with WC plugins.

Additional Quries: 3. Can I add any WC plugin as per my requirement, and do they work fine with your theme?

4. All the plugins you listed are with one-time purchase? And no recurring payments/fees to keep them working or to get upgrades?

5. Can you please provide the list of all the plugins that are bundled with this theme purchace?

Thanks

Hey there!

I saw you posted these questions below. I replied back to your most recent comment! :)

Cheers! Fernando

Hi

I need a theme for my media equipment hiring company.

We have TV/Film Camera Kits, Lighting, Sound, Crane/Tracks Kits for filming also Editing, Production and Direction services as well.

The customers will book kits themselves and block the dates and pay online. They might assemble their own different kits (For filming TV Show, Adverts or Music Video) by selecting different equipment and save all kits in their accounts.

Do you think Listify theme can serve the purpose?

Please advise

Thank you

Sincere Regards

Kam

Hi there!

Hope you are doing well today!

The theme is meant to be a directory theme. Although It can be possible for it to accomplish your project. You can create a listing page for each equipment kit. Users can visit the page that appeals to them and then book/pay for the service. You can read the following article regarding how to take bookings: How do I take bookings on my listing pages?

Hope this helps!

If you have any questions or if I can be of any further help, please let me know!

Kind regards,

Fernando

Is there a way to import listings using a CSV file?

Hi there!

Yes, you can using WP All Import to import listings to your page!

If you have any questions or if I can be of any further help, please let me know!

Kind regards,

Fernando

pre sales questions:

My idea:

I am looking for a specific theme. The theme consists of different services, that the admin can create in the backend. Part-ners(enterprises) should be able to create an account in which they can manage their jobs (for example a wellness enterprise that offers several types of massages) which can be booked directly by the customer without contacting the partner before. Its somehow a fusion of a multi user listing and booking system.

1.) does your theme provides the mentioned functions? 2.) which plugins are necessary for my intention? 3.) does the partner has a menu where he can manage all of his products? 4.) he should also has a calendar function in his menu to manage his bookings.

regards,

azo

Hi Azo,

Hope you are doing well!

1)The theme will allow for most of the features. The theme and the WP Job Manager will allow the admin to create various Listings/Service pages. Partners will also be able to create their own Listing/Service Page. They can claim a listing that is already created for free or for a fee using the Claim Listing plugin. You can also allow for customers to book services on each listing page. The only thing that is not possible is having multiple users managing a listing. Only one account can manage a listing.

2)If you wish to charge users for creating listings or claiming them you will need the WC Paid Listings plugin along with the claims plugin. For Bookings, you can see one of the following services available: How do I take bookings on my listing pages?

3)If you wish to use the WooCommerce Bookings plugin they will be able to manage their products through the websites back-end. See here and how to add the product to their listing page.

4)Yes, the booking solutions do have the ability to display a calendar for booking purposes.

Hope this helps!

If you have any questions or if I can be of any further help, please let me know!

Kind regards,

Fernando

thanks for your information. your answers let some questions came up.

1.) so i need woocommerce bookings for the booking part. wc paid listings is necessary to let user create a listing for his company? 2.) woocommerce product vendors will be necessary to let users create their services. so first question here: 2.1: does the backend provides any reporting / sales overview? like the wc vendor pro has? 2.2: is it possible to create different services( that are my products) like massage for 30min, massage for 60min, etc., that can be booked in this way? 3.) is the calendar for the vendor in woocommerce bookings also restricted to the backend? 4.) could you tell me if its possible to use dokan + your theme + woocommerce bookings? because dokan provides a full frontend management tool for the vendor.. 5.) how does the notification process looks like for both vendor, admin and user if a user booked a service? is there any capability for a multiple reminder function like 24hrs before, 1hour before, or maybe even sms / whatsapp notification? 6.) its quite confusing. are you offering for woocommerce product vendors and also wc vendors pro? what are you recommending? 7.) am i missing any plugins for my intention?

best regards,

azo

Hi Azo,

Question: 1.) so i need woocommerce bookings for the booking part. wc paid listings is necessary to let user create a listing for his company?

Answer: Correct, the WooCommerce Bookings plugin will be needed for bookings. The WC Paid Listings plugin will only allow you to charge users a fee to post. Users can submit listings for free without the plugin.

Question: .) woocommerce product vendors will be necessary to let users create their services. so first question here: 2.1: does the backend provides any reporting / sales overview? like the wc vendor pro has?

Answer: Yes, the WooCommerce Product Vendors plugin will allow for reports. See here: Reports

Question: 2.2: is it possible to create different services( that are my products) like massage for 30min, massage for 60min, etc., that can be booked in this way?

Answer: Yes you can make different variations of a booking product or various regular sales products.

Question: 3.) is the calendar for the vendor in woocommerce bookings also restricted to the backend?

Answer: When a user wishes to book an item, it will al be displayed on the front-end. The calendar will be displayed on the front-end for users to book an item. Listing: Bookings

Question: 4.) could you tell me if its possible to use dokan + your theme + woocommerce bookings? because dokan provides a full frontend management tool for the vendor..

Answer: Unfortunately, Listify does not have support for Dokan. Since Listify is powered by the WooCommerce plugin the Product Vendors plugin is compatible.

Question: 5.) how does the notification process looks like for both vendor, admin and user if a user booked a service? is there any capability for a multiple reminder function like 24hrs before, 1hour before, or maybe even sms / whatsapp notification?

Answer: You can view the email notification process for the bookings plugin here: Email Notifications

Question: 6.) its quite confusing. are you offering for woocommerce product vendors and also wc vendors pro? what are you recommending?

Answer: We only recommend the WooCommerce Product Vendors plugin.

Question: 7.) am i missing any plugins for my intention?

Answer: The only one would possibly be the WP Job Manager – Products plugin which allows vendors to link their products on their listing page.

Hope this helps!

If you have any questions or if I can be of any further help, please let me know!

Kind regards,

Fernando

Presales Question: can users submit listings via a front end manager? So that they don’t need to go into the WordPress backend?

Hi there!

Absolutely! Just like in our demo, users can submit listings and manage their listings through the front-end. Have a look at the front-end submission form for Listify!

Hope this helps!

If you have any questions or if I can be of any further help, please let me know!

Kind regards,

Fernando

Awesome! That’s exactly what i need to know. Also, will users be allowed to charge for services, and collect money, and allow me as the website provider to take a cut? or will I have to use Product Vendors by WooCommerce for that?

You will need both the WooCommerce Product Vendors plugin andWP Job Manager – Products plugin. You can read further here: How do I allow vendors to sell products through my Listify powered website?

Hope this helps!

If you have any questions or if I can be of any further help, please let me know!

Kind regards,

Fernando

Hi there, pre-sale question. This theme fits the mold that I am looking for, however, the geo-location and map feature is not required. Is it possible to use this theme in such a way that we can use it for the categorization, listing and featuring of various services, and not use the mapping, feature? For instance, when I click on a category on your demo, it lists the items on the left and a map on the right. Can I use this feature without the map? Thanks in advance

Hi there!

Hope you are doing well today!

The theme will allow for flexibility to allow you to only have the Category drop-down, removing the other fields including the Location field and map.Through the Search Page settings you can remove the Map. You can also hide the Map on the Map & Contact Details widget.

Hope this helps!

If you have any questions or if I can be of any further help, please let me know!

Kind regards,

Fernando

hi there… a presale question..I am working on a clients project and he has listable theme. we have over 40k listings that we are moving to new site. The theme works fine until we starting upload the data. It seems that Google allows only 2500 listings per day with map & address and after that the map and address simply stopped showing or displaying in theme…

do your theme has some solution for this? can you please suggest something? If yes then we will move to listify theme

Hi there,

This is due to the Limit imposed by the Google Maps API Usage Limit. The API only allows for a certain amount of usage per day. Our theme also uses and requires a Google Maps API key fort the map results to function.

Our theme will allow you to submit all 40k listings using WP All Import, but it still requires you to setup your Google Maps API.

Hope this helps.

If you have any questions or if I can be of any further help, please let me know!

Kind regards,

Fernando

Hello. It is now possible to implement a button with which the author of the listing could raise your listings to the top of the list. For example, one time raise in 24 hours. You may in the future implement a similar feature or can it now be implemented?

Hi there!

Hope you are doing well!

You can Create multiple Listing Packages for your website and can make a package allow for new listings to be featured for a certain amount of time.

Hope this helps!

If you have any questions or if I can be of any further help, please let me know!

Kind regards,

Fernando

I brought the following error to your attention almost a month ago. Can you please advise when this will be fixed? It does not appear to be fixable from the customize options as you suggested. The highlight text color for the secondary dropdown menu does not have a setting in the customize where you advised to adjust it.

“I’m having a very strange issue. But I’ve actually seen the same issue on many of the sites some of the users posted here – so either they didn’t realize it was a problem or somehow fixed it. I have tried every setting in the customizer and can’t fix it. The attached image shows the issue.

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/8e66gb0iga4o6j5/AADpXeWCHtqVsXcBq0oLsomWa?dl=0

Basically, in the secondary menu when there are sublevel items in the dropdown, the text color on hover/highlight lightens up so much it almost disappears so you can barely see it. I cannot find a setting to change this to either leave the font color the same, darken it or change it altogether on hover. Please understand that this is only using defaults once the basic style kit is chosen. I think this is a bug, but hesitate to call it that in case there is a setting somewhere I missed. Can you please advise if there is a setting somewhere to control this?”

You replied:

“Thank you for bringing this up I have brought this up to our team to look over and fix for our style kits. In the meantime, you can make changes to the font colors through the customizer>Colors ▸ Header/Navigation under Secondary Nav Colors.

Thanks for letting us know and we hope to fix this.”

As I said, this isn’t clearly fixable from the customize menu as you suggest. And this looks terrible on a live site – the dropdown item grays out to almost invisible upon highlight.

If you don’t have plans to correct this, please advise a temporary css fix if possible.

Thanks, Katia

Hi Fernando,

I updated to 1.8 but I am still having the same issue. Can you advise if there is a new setting somewhere installed now to correct this issue? I checked the customize but only see one text color option for the secondary menu. I have this set to white because my menu background is black. The dropdown menu background there is white and the text in the dropdown is grey when it opens. But on mouseover it fades out to extremely light grey and is almost impossible to see – same as before. Please advise – as far as I can see, this bug hasn’t been corrected.

Katia

Hi Katia,

Hmm, this should have been resolved. Can you email me directly at fernando[at]astoundify[dot]com and I will look this over for you. Also provide me with your website.

I hope to hear from you!

Kind regards,

Fernando

Hi Fernando, thanks I just sent you an email with login info so you can see it.
