for publishing to my RSS feed, it appears the theme defaults to a www.site.com/episodes/feed format. However the mp3 files i link to in my episodes do not get included in the feed. What is the best method for posting mp3 content?

Hello,
I just purchased the template but the thing is when I’m trying to import the samples, all images are a gray pictures with DEMO !
Why it’s not importing properly !
The demo content is an exact replica of the live preview except of the images. This is the case in most themes on THemeForest as we cannot distribute stock photography. Instead you get a grey image but all the rest of the content should remain. This should not be an issue as you of course replace any of that with your own demo content.
However if you want copies of the images, feel free to reach out to us and we can help you out in our support forums: http://support.progressionstudios.com
After installing the theme and attempting to do a live preview or activation i get the following error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION in /home/content/34/8521534/html/wp-content/themes/soundbyte-progression/functions.php on line 161
Do you have any suggestions?
Yeah, go ahead and open a support ticket and we will help you out. Make sure to provide a link to your website when posting your question: http://support.progressionstudios.com
I resolved the issue, i had an older version of php installed.
That’s great, glad it was an easy fix

Can I host my audio files on external sources like Amazon S3 or a podcast host rather than the Wordpress Media Library?
Yeah, you can host audio and video files from external sources like Amazon S3.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Let’s say I need to host multiple shows on this theme i.e. not different episodes but actually different shows, each with their own episodes, can I do that easily?
Thanks!
Yeah, you can host multiple shows easily. There is no limit on the amount of shows you can host. Our page builder allows to easily pull various post lists to keep them separate and sorted.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Hi there – I’m thinking of purchasing your theme. One question: I plan to have a very active blog on my site and would like to have a grid layout for my posts. Will the theme support plugins for changing the blog layout? I’m thinking of using the Masonry Grid plugin (https://codecanyon.net/item/masonry-grid-resize-builder-wordpress-addon-visualcomposer/15156198?s_rank=6) but not fully decided yet.
Can you tell me if such a plugin would work well with the theme?
Thanks!
Yeah, that plugin would work great with our Soundbyte Theme. Since we are using the Visual Composer page builder, any add-on for Visual Composer will work with our theme
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Hi there, cool looking podcast template! Is there an option to set standard pagination for the older posts and pages instead of the “load more” lazy loading feature?
Yeah, you have an option for standard pagination or “load more”. It can be adjusted via simple checkbox.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Hi, your theme looks perfect for what I’m looking for! My only question: can I disable the included audio player and substitute it for the player my podcast host provides? Thanks
Yeah, you can use any other audio player. We added a soundcloud example to show this: http://soundbyte.progressionstudios.com/episodes/episode-44-interview-with-jane-doe/
Let me know if you have any other questions.
I’m unable to import data to my site thats being run through MAMP on localhost.
I can successfully import the Widgets and Theme Options, but I can not import the demo content. It just spams me with “Failed to Import” and “Failed to import “”: Invalid post type “
PS: your support ticketing system is miserable at best. I couldn’t submit a ticket through it trying every avenue possible. Also, your forum redirect is the most jarring thing ever.
Yeah, sorry about the support system. The service we use Ticksy had a major outage yesterday that took down millions of support systems. They are currently resolving it and should have it back up in the next few hours.
In the meantime you can send me an e-mail via my profile page contact form: https://themeforest.net/user/progressionstudios#from
I bought two of your themes and put them on a Multi-Wordpress install but it seems they conflict, which has crashed my site. Is there something I need to do?
I’d post this in support but I get this error:
This support desk, managed by Ticksy, is currently in maintenance mode for the following reason:
Server Outage
It appears the Progression Elements from each theme conflict.
Yeah, sorry about The Ticksy outage. Go ahead and send me an email in the meantime. Make sure to include a login to your website. You can email me directly via my profile page contact form: https://themeforest.net/user/progressionstudios#from
Hi,
Pre-purchase question: Can you have multiple shows? Like where you have Episodes on the main menu, could you have Shows, then under that episodes for the different shows? Thanks.
Yeah, you can have multiple shows and categorize them. There is no limit on this, you can have an unlimited amount.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
I see several people are having a similar issue regarding the import of demo content. After reviewing the image files I see that several of the images on the live preview are missing from the zip folder.
Could this be part of the issue? Is there a fix?Hello. Sorry for the noob question, but does this theme have any tools included to put a podcast behind a paywall (extra episodes) while having an episode free every week? I’m looking to expand a popular podcast by adding extra episodes for a monthly subscription but have little experience with e-commerce and was wondering if that functionality is included (or can be added in easily). Thanks.
Unfortunately that functionality is not built-in. However there are a number of plugins that you could use for this. Check out codecanyon.net for adding this functionality. Example: https://codecanyon.net/item/paid-content-packages-subscriptions/8389954
Let me know if you have any other questions.
I purchased the theme and using for a video podcast. As I upload each episode and enter the youtube embed code for each episode is there a way to create a rss feed of some sort so that I can enter the url such as mydomain.com/rss into podcast aggregators and it pulls all episodes?
Go ahead and open a ticket in our support forums and we can help you out with that: http://support.progressionstudios.com
So when I click on a podcast and it takes me to the podcast with a description, is it possible to leave links in that description, for example if a podcast had a guest on, could I leave links to there site etc?
Yeah, you have full control over that area. You can easily add links as you are describing .
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Does this theme support PowerPress? And how large does my header or slider image need to be?
Unfortunetly we do not have support built-in for the Powerpress plugin. All of the podcast information is managed within the theme and WordPress. You could of course use another plugin but it would require a different player than the one we are using in the live preview.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
I got a failure notice when I tried uploading the zip file to my wordpress site. I currently have a theme and want with genesis framework. Do I need to remove that before attempting to retrying it again?
Make sure you unzip the initial download from ThemeForest. Inside that you will find the documentation, photoshop design files, and the theme to upload to WordPress. Sometimes users try and upload the entire download from ThemeForest and get that error.
Go ahead and open a support ticket in our forum and we will walk you through any issues: http://support.progressionstudios.com
Thanks. It worked. I know the theme is responsive, but when I click on mobile version on the bottom of my site, it changes to a different look and I’m unable to got back to the original version. Should I try reinstalling the theme again?
We can help you out with any questions in our support forum. Feel free to open a ticket and we can help you out: http://support.progressionstudios.com
Thanks! I just did.
I am trying to install Soundbyte and it will NOT install. It says that “this theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.” Please help!
Feel free to open a support ticket in our forum if you have any issues: http://support.progressionstudios.com
Note: It sounds like you just need to unzip the initial download from ThemeForest. Inside that you will find the documentation, photoshop files, and theme. Try unzipping the first download as I believe this should be your issue and an easy fix
yup! When the directions say to upload a .zip file, that is a little confusing…
No worries, glad it was an easy fix. If you have any additional questions, feel free to open a ticket in our forum. We are happy to help out: http://support.progressionstudios.com
Hi, Is it compatible with SoundCloud audios? thanks
Yeah, this theme is compatible with SoundCloud. Here is an example with Soundcloud: http://soundbyte.progressionstudios.com/episodes/episode-44-interview-with-jane-doe/
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks for a great theme! Is there a way to substitute a video instead of an image for the “Page Title Background Image” field on an episode? Would it also be possible to do this on the header for the home page?
Go ahead and open a ticket in our support forum and we will point you in the right direction. Videos are supported however not in the page title background area. We can help you out with some options in the support forum though: http://support.progressionstudios.com
