Most definitely the most attractive theme of the recent Directory releases, though it does seem to be slightly lighter on features in some areas (could be missing things of course)

e.g. ability for reviewers to upload images or recommend other reviews

Mostly little things, but very useful features. I notice there’s only been the one update. Is there anywhere we can see what’s in the pipeline for the theme?

Hello,

Thank you very much for your kind words and taking interest in our theme. When ti comes to reviews, you are able to add text review and add your rating and above are listed all rating for the same place https://www.screencast.com/t/Fzq6Rre0v

If you are looking for something else actually, please, let us now? Thanks

We are recording all suggestions from our users and potential customers and then we will add most wanted features,

Best, Elated

Thanks

The ability for users to add photos for reviews would be good

Thank you for your suggestion.

Hi I’m interested for you theme but i want to know if i can create listing for a entire country ? (And not just for a city). Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for your message and taking interest in our theme. Generally, when creating listing, you can put any address you want. You can make listing location to be Spain for example.

Elated

You’re welcome!

Hi there, I really like the theme. I have a pre-purchase question: can item location/Google map options be disabled? (Also in search box and ad detail view). Thanks

Hello,

Thank you for writing in and taking interest in our theme. Glad to hear you like FindMe.

If you don’t add Location under Single List custom fields https://www.screencast.com/t/7zAsDGXTu then map won’t be shown on single listing page https://www.screencast.com/t/dqEZJ7w8dfW and with minor css code you could hide map on searching pages https://www.screencast.com/t/BEyMeHFMSZxz

Hey again Elated, I just downloaded the suggested plugins and the demo content but now I’m getting a yellow error message saying ! You should save your changes. However, I can not see where to save them. I sought out help from my host and they too could not find where or how to save. I appreciate you help or link to help. Thanks

Hi,

If you change anything in Elated Options , you’ll get this message to save your options and there is save changes button, too https://www.screencast.com/t/gcex8ghuwcg This message appears even when you are in Import tab, but there you should just run Import process https://www.screencast.com/t/DDIdioR9p So, if you already have done this import part, just ignore this message.

Greetings,

I’m looking for a theme that will offer Auto Location, not sure of the name, this is where the visitors city automatically shows in the search box when the visitor arrives on the homepage.

Is this possible with your theme? Is it a part of google maps or something you would need to offer? Here’s a similar site that has the Auto Location: ZipRecruiter.com.

Please let me know.

Thank you.

Hi,

We offer similar function and you can check it on our demo site http://findme.elated-themes.com/ where you can see our search form and how it works https://www.screencast.com/t/kUtg6UyYa4I , and also, once you enter search results page you get an option to filter given results according to your location and search radius https://www.screencast.com/t/M2qKi00lde1 .

Best regards, Elated

Hello!

1. How can a user edit existing listings?

2. How can a user find listings by category (not by listing type)? Can I make a structured list in the search form?

For example:

Food and drink

Restaurants
Bars
Sweet shop

Entertainment

Music
Theaters
Museums

Hello there,

Thank you for interest in our theme.

1) Each user in his user dashboard has My Listings section where he can check all his listings and edit them as shown in next screenshot https://www.screencast.com/t/DWLcB1sU0rmI .

2) You can get advanced filter inside one ( each ) Listing Type via Amenities that can be added to each Listing Type separately, such as this https://www.screencast.com/t/xXk4k81n . So, in your case, you can build Listing Type Food and Drink and in that listing type you set Restaurants, Bars and Sweet Shop Amenities, and similarly for second Listing type ( Entertainment ) . This is set up in back-end https://www.screencast.com/t/E9cuWrcP and on the front-end https://www.screencast.com/t/zLo3q7VgvQwv .

Best regards, Elated

But the list of amenities is not a list of categories. In the list of amenities there must be other values. It turns out that the user can search for a place only by the type of listing (by category it can not be done).

Hi,

Yes, you can only search according to Listing Type, and you can not filter results further according to categories, only by Amenities. We have implemented Listing Categories for many built in elements in Visual Composer for previewing Listings, for instance Elated Listing List where you can choose only one category https://www.screencast.com/t/Gwz8NFcmR to show.

Best regards, Elated

Hi ! Love your template. Before we buy I have a question. Can anyone rate a place? Or do the have to book a place before they can rate? If anyone can rate, can I manage the ratings in the admin? Thank you !

Hello there,

Thank you for interest in our theme, we are pleased you like it.

Yes, all users that preview site can post a rating . However, once a user post a review, it is as for the blog posts when someone post a comment so for each of the you will get notification https://www.screencast.com/t/0IeF42BNb where you can handle that Review https://www.screencast.com/t/e6NvcEyRDa .

Best regards, Elated

Great ! Thx

You’re welcome :)

the support site doesn’t work? I need to know how to add a home page template ?

Hi,

We are sorry because of issues with Ticksy. It is 3rd party app and we don’t have control over it, so all theme authors are experiencing same issue. Team behind this app is informed and they are working on resolving this so we hope that it will be back online soon. Please try to submit a ticket little later, and if you are faced with something urgent you can reach our support over email at support[@]elated-themes.com

Have you imported demo content? If so, that our home page named Filter Home should be set as your home page in Settings > Reading > Front Page https://www.screencast.com/t/KgJQTpxNI7K . If not, you can import our demo content to get same layout as in our demo site http://findme.elated-themes.com .

Best regards, Elated

Hi , nice work, really like it. I just see from my profile that I can’t upload any photo so how come the photos show in the testimonials? I can’t save my favorites there either or am I wrong?

Hello,

Thank you for interest in our theme.

Are you referring to the Single Listing gallery? If so, you can check how it looks like on every single listing item in our demo site http://findme.elated-themes.com such as this Listing http://findme.elated-themes.com/job/club-88/ -> https://www.screencast.com/t/6SFcstg20 .

Best regards, Elated

Ah, you not really understand me…

If I create an account there is a profile image but I can’t upload any (change it). But if you see all this reviews that been added on single posts on your test demo, they show a image from the guy that wrote it. How do that one appear? I can’t upload any when I write an review so?

Also there should be a option to save “My Favorites” when I am logged in.

Hi,

Thank you for making it clear what is your intention.

That profile images are avatars that can be set from the back-end of the site using WP User Avatar plugin https://www.screencast.com/t/kxAf7kWwN or using any other avatar plugin.

Default fields of the user dashboard are https://www.screencast.com/t/Qvni69ND0 and to get some additional you need to activate some WP Job Manager addons.

Hi We look for a directory. We need following… Let me know what you have included

- Demo content (installation with images)

- Visual Composer (so I can change the front page if I like)

- Unlimited side bars

- Mega Menu (and let me know if I can I have image in that one)

- Mobile & Smart Tab Friendly

- Be Responsive - Be able have galley in each single listing, not only like you have it today

- Have payment system implemented (shopping cart)

Last, is there a front end registration or do I come to WP login page?

Let me know what your theme don’t have or can do from this…

Hi,

1) Content of the Listing is built using Visual Composer and there are some predefined parts like sidebar on the right https://www.screencast.com/t/z3yDiH56yGJ which can not be changed in Visual Composer, it will show settings set for each Listing in the back-end, like address.

2) Images added to Listing Gallery will be always rendered as gallery shown in our demo site, with sliding effect.

3) Yes, as we mentioned in point 4) , second part of the answer, there we also explained shortly how to add desired image.

By setting Listing location https://www.screencast.com/t/SsI0uvt94mTQ that address it will be automatically populated on map.

Best regards, Elated

Ok… So if I type in an address, Street 136 Phnom Penh – thats a damn long street so I doubt that the marker will show right, can I adjust it from the backend with drag and drop or place the correct longitude/latitude if so?

Also a little minus that it “have to be that gallery” slider and no other options for this – is this something you will change later on in any updates? Like the shop part – its very nice

Hi,

If it is possible, depending on the address and street configuration it you can add more precise info for destination as long as Google Map API can recognize it, since there is no option for longitude/latitude input or manually moving the pin to desired location.

At the moment, there are no planed any changes to that functionality, but it might be changed with future releases.

Best regards, Elated

Theme looks amazing! Do you all provide PSD files?

We can provide you PSD files, but they are not included in download zip of theme since they are too large.

Hello guys,

We are trying to download the demo content but the progress bar doesn’t move from 0% (we have waited about an hour). We have been trying to do this for the past couple of days with no result.

Can you please let us know a fix or a work around?

We also tried posting a ticket but as you know ticksy is down.

Thanks and look forward to hearing from you soon! Regards, M

Hello there,

When it comes to importing demo content, before you hit import, disable all 3rd party plugins (to free up server resources), then go to import, open chrome developer tools, hit Import, and watch console for errors. When some error occur refresh import page and repeat the process. Importing demo content must reach 100% without displaying error in the console. So repeat it until console is clear (sometimes you have to repeat process for 3-4 times or maybe more).

Please understand that this is common issue when importing demo with all theme authors since demos become more robust so they can satisfy needs of all customers, so issue is usually triggered by lower server resources. Usually it is due to low WordPress memory limit https://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Increasing_memory_allocated_to_PHP and also due to low PHP directives, so it would be good if you can increase these values or ask your hosting service to do that for you:

max_execution_time = 300;
memory_limit = 128M;
upload_max_filesize = 128M;
post_max_size = 256M;
max_input_vars = 3000;

Helpful reading – http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-increase-the-maximum-file-upload-size-in-wordpress/

If you still struggle with demo import please contact us via support mail support[@]elated-themes.com and provide our support agents WordPress admin access and they will gladly try to do it for you.

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

Thank you for interest in our theme.

1) You can create Custom Listing Packages, however, this will require additional plugin WP Job Manager – WooCommerce Paid Listings which needs to be purchased separately.

2) It can be manged via a plugin that we have mentioned in 1)

3) There is Feature Listing functionality and site admin can manually set a Listing to be Featured.

4) There is no option for that for now, since all users can register to your site.

5) It can be achieved with a plugin, but we have not tested any of them so we can not guarantee that it will work fine with our theme.

6) We have not tested that plugin, so we can not guarantee it’s compatibility with our theme.

7) You can change Listing’s status to be Draft ( unpublished ) at any time.

8 ) Listing can be managed to be advertisement of anything you want, however, than some of the Listing field does not make sense so you will have to leave them blank ( such as if you want Listing to be product than it’s opening hours does not makes sense )

9) Unfortunately no.

10) There are a lot of plugins to achieve so.

11) They can contact via mail, or via reviews or “Contact the property” form https://www.screencast.com/t/Fq2td3zsqpp .

12) Claim listing is functionality that will require additional WP Job manager add-on.

13) There is no option for that, but each Listing needs to be moderated before approval so you can check for spam Listings.

14) Yes, admin can add desired listing from dashboard.

15) You can do that by managing user roles of the users that register. Users with different roles has different privileges on the site ( in example access to the dashboard )

16) All users can register to the site and all of them are allowed to submit a Listing. However, you can moderate each Listing before publishing.

Best regards, Elated
