Hello there, pre-sales questions please, I’m not a developer, so I hope I express correctly the following :)

QUESTION 1

I want to make a business directory to list providers of various services (and from various states, nationwide), and I want to place clickable headers (my own ads) in the search results pages (I want to add a different header for each category, subcategory, tag and location search results page). Please consider, I am not referring to the default image WP lets assign to categories and subcategories and so, cause that image is not clickable.

I think that for that to be possible, each time the user changes his search queries or terms, the URL must change instead of just having loaded the new results while keeping the same URL (as I’ve seen doing some tests in the demo). Here’s an example: https://www.bodas.com.mx/invitaciones-de-boda
As you can see, the URL has the category (/invitaciones-de-boda), and when you add another search filter (from the left boxes, for example ESTADO which means State), the website loads the URL /invitaciones-de-boda/aguascalientes (/TheCategory/TheState) The opposite (loading new results within the same URL ) would not only mean that what I want to do won’t be possible (I guess) but also that Google Analytics stats won’t be accurate, cause people will be visiting different categories but will not be registered as the URL won’t change).
So, will the theme allow me to do EXACTLY what I want? Meaning, to place headers in each category, subcategory, tag and location search results page, and that URLS will load/change so users may see the header I assigned to each category, subcategory, tag and location?

QUESTION 2

Another doubt I want to clear is this: when users select in the search bar the category they want to visit, the website will load the URL of the category, and the will see the header I assigned. So far so good.
Now, if a user, instead of selecting the category from the correspondent search field in the search bar, introduces it like a keyword, I’m guessing he’s going to be redirected to a query search result URL instead of the category URL, right?
To clarify: selecting “Category A” in the dropdown field of a search bar will load him the category URL (/listings/category-a) so he will see the header I want. But if he writes “Category A” in the field assigned to keyword searching, then the search result won’t be the category URL and instead will be the query search result URL (something like /listings/results=query) and there will not be any header there cause those pages can´t be modified by a non-developer, right?

I will also want to know:

3. For the content of the listings (the default information that will apply to all listings), can I add custom fields? I’m referring mostly to text, cause I want the listings to show the most possible provider information.
4. If so, can I add the content of those custom fields as search filters?
5. When a business owner creates an account and add a listing, and someone give to his listing a review, will he (the business owner) will be able to reply to that review?

Hi,

Because all 3 themes have exactly the same features, this answer counts for all 3 of them.

a) We use classic search, no AJAX. b) when you search for something, it’s “ugly” url. c) Always in the same order.

1) No, this is not possible with our theme. 2) Owner of the website. 3) No, you have to configure this for yourself manually. 4) Yes, this is possible. 5) This is optional, can be turned on or off. 6) Not customizable at all, search looks for keywords only. 7) We suggest WPML plugin, that is compatible with our themes. You can also translate theme labels manually, using default .po file. 8) This feature is not available in our theme.

Best,

Elated

Thank you so very much for being that much patient, helpful and kind. It’s difficult to choose between the 3 themes cause having the same features it all comes down to aesthetics, which are great in all of them!

Hi,

Thank you for your kind words, we look forward to hear from you!

Hi, interesting theme. Some question about it: 1) Is it possible to have random listing on Home Page? 2) and Is possible to have random Featured Listing on Home page? 3) Is it possible to have Featured Item (listing) before other items in the map search results? 4) In ADMIN SECTION do you have an activate/deactivate STATUS function of Listing and is possible to change here author of listing? 5) Do you have a demo version to test inside admin section? Thanks in advance

Hello there,

1 and 2. We do not have a random feature added to any of our Listing elements. Sorry about that.

3. We do not have that feature in our theme.

4. Yes, you can set the post to Pending Review, and you can also change the author.

5. Try using: test test

Best Regards, Elated

Can PayPal Personal account work ? To charge listing G’s / Membership fees

Hi there,

Yes, as explained in this article https://www.paypal.com/cv/selfhelp/article/How-do-I-receive-payments-FAQ1664 . Off course check this with PayPal for your country, since there could be some additional terms of service.

Good morning, I’m really interested in your theme, but I can’t add listing on the demo site (message : You don’t have permissions to add new listing). Is the site translated into English? Thank you

Hello,

And thanks for contacting us.

1. You can login with test account to theme demo and you should be able to add new listing: User: Test Password: Test

2. All theme labels are using unique theme text domain so you can translate them to your language with poedit software, but also you can use popular WPML plugin.

Elated

​Dear Elated Team,

we will rename our site and will rebuild it. I’ve used export/import to import data. it worked really good. But in some Listing item the image gallery is not showing. Why is this?

Here it works: https://budapestdayandnight.com/place/costes/ here not: https://budapestdayandnight.com/place/caviar-and-bull/

Some place it’s visible somewhere is not and they use the same Listing type

I’ve used the newest theme Thank you very much for your help!

Hi,

That is because you didn’t migrated database correctly and configured images are loaded from your other domain https://www.screencast.com/t/a3n7y8GXtGa . When migrating database you can use this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-migrate-db/

hi there a pre-sales question … your theme can be use only for rent apartment? and maybe in the future in the listing the administrator can add some place near the house in rent … what do you think?

Hello,

Search & Go is directory listing theme and booking functionality is only available for restaurants over opentable.com . Renting option isn’t available right now, and at this time we don’t have plans to integrate such functionality, but I’ll forward your suggestion to our team.

Hello Author,
Good Job as regards the theme and i am interested in using it for my client website.
She want to run a website that does majorly 2 things (Showcasing businesses & Classified Adds) which will make me ask some important pre-buy questions.
1. In the case of the business listing, Is it possible for other users to search for the profile of a particular user to see his/her profile details, contact, what ads he/she has listed from front-end (can users view each other profile from front-end by searching)
2. Is there any way in which to make the user advert location auto-fill because not all site users will know about longitude and latitude.
3. Will i be able to create custom fields to the Ad posting form and will the form be intelligent to assign some field to particular categories depending on users input
4. Is there anyway to show if a member is online in the front-end or to integrate a messaging system.

<stong>My client really loves the look and feel of thi theme and really wants it to work out, If there are recommended plugins to achieve the above listed, you can please state them. ;my email is:: olaniyanolanrewaju23@gmail.com

Best Regards. Lanre!

Hi Lanre,

1. Users, don’t have public profile page which can show amount of listings, adds etc, so only option is to create custom page for each user, and then to add link from listing content.

2. They don’t need to add latitude / longitude, because fields will be populated when city or address is typed in https://www.screencast.com/t/CHlQK6lHGYk

3. Fields are predefined for that post type, so it is not possible to change them from options so you have to make some modifications.

4. Such an option doesn’t exist so you need to search for some 3rd party plugin in order to extend theme functionality in that way. We are really not in position to suggest plugins other then ones which are listed in theme description on the Theme Forest since they are officially supported.

Hello! I would like to do update to theme.

Thank You

Hello,

We had to flag your comments because you have provided sensitive data publicly. we can’t access purchase data or anything related to your purchase, because all purchases are handled by evnato – Theme Forest market so if you don’t have theme listed in your account downloads and you state that you have purchased it then please contact envato directly.

Thanks, Elated

Sorry… you can send it to me to contact her Evanto?

Hi,

You can contact them over this link https://help.market.envato.com/hc/en-us – contact form link is at the bottom of the page.

Hi, i’m having a problem with my clients website menu. She has set her browser at 175% an the menu then gets cut off. Can you assist? Will send all he relevant details you require.

Hello,

Theme scripts will be initialized on page load, and when you zoom in / out you will reach screen size which isn’t properly styled because grid isn’t adjusted for that size since it is not screen resolution which exists in real life or some script which is calculating element position isn’t initialized – page isn’t refreshed. That is normal behavior. I don’t think that visitors will zoom page when they view it, especially not that much, but if your client insists on that then you should contact our support trough support forum at https://elated.ticksy.com

Hi, I’m very interested in purchasing these theme. Two main questions. The first one, am i able to add a third search bar? I believe i would be able to.

The second one, i was looking to use this for restaurants. Is it possible to show their specials in the description? For example see the link with specials, https://ibb.co/ftgJA7. Is it possible to list these specials and time in here, https://ibb.co/bMNBxn, where you have the text that begins with sed ut…

Thank you for any help you can provide.

Hi there,

And thanks for the interest in our Search & Go theme.

1. Yes, you can add Elated listing search element multiple times on the same page, or on some other page.

2. Yes, you can add custom excerpt for each listing item https://www.screencast.com/t/dJo1PfjGU4w

Elated

That’s excellent. Will I be able to add in the custom excerpt on the map when you click on a restaurant? Or at least have the restaurant come up on the right results area when clicked on? It appears to only be listed in order at the moment.

Also am I able to create custom excerpts depending on what is searched? For example if I search all days, the four like previous come up. However if I was to search just Tuesday, then only the excerpt for Tuesday will show?

Once I know that this can be done I will be looking to purchase right away. Or if I can see a work around

Hi again,

Custom excerpt can’t be added to pin on the map. Unfortunately such functionality doesn’t exist.

Sorry, but this isn’t possible since excerpt won’t be used by search query.

Let us know if you have any additional questions.

Elated

Hi, Please can you tell me where i can change the Sort by​ from “Date Desc” to “Name Asc” as default for all my listings pages? Thank you!

Hello,

Please, submit a ticket on our support forum at https://elated.ticksy.com/ and our agent will provide you instructions.

Hi. I am interested in buying to use as an Hotel Association site, where I want to display only the hotels at my city. Is there a way to hide the “add your hotel” option, and leting this available only for the associates? Maybe, letting assesible only the log in page, so I myself would create the login and password to the hotel partner? Thanks.

Hello,

Thank you for taking interest in our Search&Go theme. You could set that default role for the new user is subscriber. And you could create other owners that could have full permissions https://www.screencast.com/t/xqkF26qKNBH

For any other doubt, please, let us know. Thanks

Best regards, Elated

hi, top bar change to https://prnt.sc/io6579 how to fix it? Thanks

Hello,

Because of WordPress wpautop function which is wrapping lines with paragraph tags, and now function is being executed in text widget because it is present be default in text editor, which is inducted in WordPress version 4.8. Solution to this is to remove all spaces inside text widgets, and if that doesn’t work 100% or you don’t want to go trough all theme widgets and to do this manually you can simply add following line of code inside theme folder / functions.php

remove_filter('widget_text_content', 'wpautop');

If you want permanent modification for future updates you should add that line inside child theme folder / functions.php file.

best, Elated

Hi, is it possibile search by adress like Google Maps or is it necessary insert all the location manually? (all the demo show only the possibility to choose a location)

Hello there,

Thank you for taking interest in our theme. Yes, you need to search by location, not be the address.

best, Elated

When I hide the claim listing with this code the share button stops working.

.eltd-single-listing-share-claim .eltd-listing-claim { display:none; }

1. Is there a modified code to use to allow it to work?

OR

2. Can we hide the share as well?

Thank you!

Hello,

This probably can be fixed with some css code. Just contact support by submitting a ticket at https://elated.ticksy.com and share a link to that page so they can inspect elements on it in order to be able to generate necessary css code.

Elated

Thanks for the quick reply, it was my fat fingers.. code fixed :)

Thanks for update.

We are glad to hear that you managed to fix this by yourself.

​Hello how can translate the words like “keyword” – “Date Desc” in listing item page ?

Hello,

You need to create translation file for your language and to translate theme labels. Use poedit software https://poedit.net/​, load translation file from theme folder / languages, translate it, and name it according to WP Codex https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/

Or you can use WPML plugin which is compatible with the theme.

Elated

yes i had translated some words using the file from folder languages but when i open it in Poedit i can’t find the words like (Date Desc, keyword)! is there a way to translate manually ?

Hi again,

Probably you need to update po file in order to make sure that all text strings are inside, but off course you can find these strings within theme files with some advanced editor like sublime text for example and to change them manually.

Elated

I have one question before buying this theme. I want to create a list of one bussiness (e.g all restaurants of a whole country). I am going to redirect the visitors to the site of the bussiness. Is this theme proper? In order to build it will i need additional css? Thank you

Hi there,

And thanks for the interest in our theme.

Yes this theme is excellent for that, and you can add site link to each listing which will point to business website, and you don’t need any extra css code for that.

If you have any additional questions just let us know.
