A while back (3rd page in comments) I asked for a possible way to implement double dropdowns for locations using subcategories – was that functionality ever implemo? I’m gonna use the theme and still need it to work this way because there’s too many locations and can’t search by zip code.

Hi,

Thank you for this suggestion. Unfortunately, we didn’t have other requests for that and it was not added in our theme. We are still tracking all users’ usages of our theme and desired features. Thank you!

Greetings, in my ticket ID: #1287621, I got a reply to change $ to INR but today when I decided to use “Mikado Listing Slider” I find that the home page displays currency in $. I don’t want to extend my support subscription as my primary requirement of using “INR” as the currency was not fully covered by the response in my ticket. Thank you!

Hello,

I’m interested in your topic but I need to know if I can access a back end demo. Is that possible? We need that in the listing, data such as telephone, CIF, etc. appear. And we also need you to have several videos. Is this possible?

Hello,

Thank you for your interest in Lister!

You can view the user dashboard and create a new listing with the following credentials (you can sign-in directly from front-end):

Username: test Password: test

We cannot provide admin access, but can send you screenshots if requested.

Yes, you can include the telephone. Custom content – including multiple videos – can be added in the “The Property” section: https://www.screencast.com/t/XmMxN3gbh2

Feel free to let us know if you have any other questions.

Hello, in your demo http://lister.mikado-themes.com/map-home/ we can see that we can choose categories, I just installed the demo and this does not appear at home, have I forgotten a setting? thank you

Hello,

Thank you for choosing Lister. Please, submit a ticket at https://mikado.ticksy.com/ and include your site URL with wp-admin access and our agent will help you there.

Best, Mikado

Again, thank you so very much for being that much helpful and kind :) The website aesthetic is lovely!

You are welcome. We are glad to hear you like Lister :)

I am considering purchasing this theme. I read a review that said you can only have 1 city per map. Is this true? If so, could we simply create multiple subdomains, each with a new copy of the theme and each with different cities? It would be shame if you really can only use 1 city.

Hello,

Thank you for taking interest in Lister. As you could see from this screenshot when you are on a search listings page, you’ll get all listings in a map https://www.screencast.com/t/neDYdEMj9Aq not just from one city, based on your searching. And one listing is on one location of course https://www.screencast.com/t/YoiAEfdCDo

You can view the user dashboard and try creation of a new listing with the following credentials (you can sign-in directly from front-end) Username: test Password: test

If you have any other doubt, please, let us know.

Hello, A question before buying, my question follows a little bit the request of the previous person. It is possible for a user to create his profile by choosing several categories and subcategories but is it possible that on the search engine, people can choose several categories? I hope to be clear

Hello,

Thank you for taking interest in Lister. You could set one listing to be associated to several categories, but when you are searching you are searching by one category,

best, Mikado

Hello, I want to purchase a theme and, hand in hand, have it customized. And I’m totally ok if you want to add the features I request to the theme so that all your users benefit from them.
As I need to fully understand the customization scope, viability, cost and delivery time before purchasing the theme and request the customization, how can I reach you privately to send you the outline (a PDF, sort of mockup to explain me more clearly since I’m neither a developer nor a native English speaker) and be in contact for any information exchange needed?

Hello there,

Thank you for writing in. We are glad to hear you want to use our Lister theme, unfortunately we are not in a position to accept any custom work at the moment, because we primarily need to focus on providing Theme Support to all customers. We hope you understand.

In case you are not familiar with programming, you could hire someone to do this for you. You could look for someone who you can hire for this kind of job at the following link: – http://studio.envato.com

Thanks for understanding.

Hi! First of all thank you for taking the time to answer and sorry for the delay. We like the theme and decided to instead of try to make it meet our needs, take advantage of what it already offers. So, we’ll very much appreciate if you could be so kind to help us with these questions since we couldn’t figure out browsing the demo.

Will any developer be able customize the theme? We want to make sure the core structure is not so fixed that only someone with prior knowledge about it can modify it and/or that changes will be hard to maintain with future updates.

We’re going to install an Ad Manager plugin to display or hide ads based on URL parameters (different headers in different categories and subcategories).
a) Theme comes with classic search option (URLs changing with page reload at search) or only Ajax? Because with Ajax we won’t be able to place the ads since the URL won’t change (that’s what we understood).
b) Theme displays user and search engine friendly URLs? AKA pretty permalinks (/listings/keyword/city) versus ugly permalinks (/listings/ct_keyword&ct_city)
c) Theme displays URL query strings always in same order or the order changes according to filtering sequence? What we mean is: If user chooses category first and search, and then chooses location the URL would be /category/location. If he chooses location first and search, and then chooses category, the URL will still be /category/location instead of now being /location/category?

1) Is it possible to let the user choose more than one category and/or subcategory for his listing?
2) Emails sent through listings contact forms will go to the corresponding listing owners or to the website owner?
3) Email alerts are received when listings are created or deleted?
4) Not wanting to have to approve every listing created, can we set them to be published right away when submitted?
5) If so, we’ll still receive email alerts upon listings creation and deleting, or we will lose them for that?
6) How customizable is the search box? At first we want to let visitors filter by Category and Location only, and later as the listings grow have more filtering options.
7) Which way translation can be accomplished, with .po files and also with Loco Translate plugin?
8- Theme lets add own dependencies (like Country – State)? If so child options aren’t displayed until visitor first chooses one option of the parent field or always displayed?

PS We like both Lister and Zuhaus themes so I’ll post questions on both pages to tie-break and choose based on features.

Hi,

You’re welcome!

You could hire developer to do desired modifications, if you need any, and it will depend on the developer’s skill level. Our code is done using our framework, it is well coded, so some arrangements could be done.

a) & b) & c) The URL will be formatted on a first click on a “Search” button http://lister.mikado-themes.com/jobs/?mkd-ls-main-search-listing-type=all&mkd-ls-main-search-listing-region=all&mkd-ls-main-search-price-max= 1) Yes, you could add one listing in several categories 2) Email messages are sent to the listing owner. 3 & 5) Emails are not sent in these cases. 4) Yes. 6) Here you could check first search options: https://www.screencast.com/t/vqzFbxJd and then you’ll get map on search page included https://www.screencast.com/t/FneUCnfdsJ 7) Pot file is included, so you could create .po and .mo language files, using some software for that purpose, such as poEdit. Also, you could try using Loco Translate, since some of our customers are using it. 8) You are adding location for each listing and if your are using Regions for WP Job Manager plugin, you’ll have an option to assign listing to desired Region https://www.screencast.com/t/v6KKsIDTW2

Best regards, Mikado

We purchased the Listing, we have a lot of problems with the installation. We asked a few questions in Support 19 hours ago, left a ticket. Nobody’s been answering for a long time. How does your support work? :((

Hello,

Hi, please ask to consider answering the following pre-sale questions:

1. How can I offer and customize different packages for each type of list for vendors? I need some additional plugin or the theme itself supports this feature, how to do this?

2. Can I set recurring payments to automatically receive every month, week, day, or even year?

3. How does time make it possible for Vendor to be able to sell products, services or events directly from the frontend?

4. Does the theme have a manager for sending personalized e-mails and SMS?

5. How do you have a personalization to send e-mail to Bookings?

6. The theme provides a way to aggregate and manage Vendor Affiliates and Website Administrator, how can this be done with your theme?

7. How does the theme manage users and subscribers who review? Is there any way to keep a management to engage them to participate in campaigns from the Vendor or website administrators?

Thanks, Regards

Hello,

1) In order to manage paid packages https://wpjobmanager.com/add-ons/wc-paid-listings/ paid addon is used and required.

2) You could try with some plugin for this purpose.

3) Our Theme is compatible with WooCommerce plugin, so you could set your shop.

4) Unfortunately, there is no such feature.

5) We are not sure on which personalization exactly do you mean? Please, explain it further more

6) You could create different type of users. But for affiliates, there is no such thing. You could start with some marketing camping in order to generate users on this way.

7. When you enable comments in WordPress users will be able to add review. You can only create mailing list and to launch camping for writing reviews.

Hi there,

Thanks for taking an interest in our theme.

3. Yes you may enter all the field when searching https://www.screencast.com/t/oi43XPA6nln

4. In the Listing Data you will be able to fill in the Application email where your message will be received if you choose to Contact the business.

5. You may check on our demo page for listing single http://lister.mikado-themes.com/job/apartments-and-house-rentals/ you can for sure add a video. So basically anything you see on our demo will be possible to achieve on within the theme.

6. Every user will have their own profile and it can not be divided into different roles.

This is made by creating a different packages for your users. So in order for users that want to create their own listings through you, they can choose if they want to use a free or different payed packages which have their privileges. Through that you can earn money. Also with this addon https://astoundify.com/products/wp-job-manager-claim-listing/ users can claim listings it can also be charged through paypal.

thank you for your answer..
3) I need to use 2 different search modul on same page….. one of them ll search for x category, one of them ll search y category….
4) There ll be users for this systems and they ll contact eachother. They ll send mail via this form but, when they contact eachother will these mail come to me?
5) if I have 2 3 packages and someone buy x package and someone buy y package and can I make private “adding gallery or video area” for y package?

Hi there,

3. You can only use the search as you see on our demo page. For any customization of the search bar it would require theme files modification on your end.

4. The mail that is stated in the listing will be valid for this form of contact.

5. The listings can be claimed and with WC paid listings plugin https://wpjobmanager.com/add-ons/wc-paid-listings/ which is an addon and will enable you to choose in which package you want your listing to be in. The listings will have all features as they do in the listing data https://www.screencast.com/t/pkm6MaKY7 where you may add a video for sure. This listing with the video will be connected to a certain listing package. If it is somehow something else you referred to please let us know.

Do the listings require Prices (on the green background)? I wanted to do business listings but the prices aren’t appropriate.

Hi there,

You can always change the price to your needs or if you want you you do not need to fill the price in. Or you may simply remove the price field with a line of css code.

Hope this helped and let us know if you have any additional questions.
