Hello !

My name is Youssef i’m the CEO of Kainelabs !

First of all congratulations on this great theme, you are guys doing a very very great job !

Please we want to make our community and forums and user profiles plugin “Youzer” compatible with your great themes “Socialize”, “Buddy”, “Aardvark”.

Here’s our plugin :

https://codecanyon.net/item/youzer-new-wordpress-user-profiles-era/19716647


Many users when they bought our plugin they asked us to recommend a theme for them that’s why we decided to create a list of recommended themes and the themes like yours are the best ones to be used with youzer !

We are ready to work on any compatibility issue by our selves, we can give you the latest version from our plugin to test it from your side or you can send us a version from your themes so we can test it from our side or in case you have any other solution we are open for it.

Thank you so much for your time !

Best Regards, Youssef.

Hi there,

Thanks for contacting me. Currently I don’t have any time to test the integration of your plugin with any of my themes. If you contact me via my profile contact form I can send you a copy of my themes so you test this yourself.

Done, i sent you the message !

Thank you ^^

Hi. I am using a nulled version of your theme and I must confess you have an awesome theme here.

I wish to purchase the main theme from you but I have some pre-purchase questions.

Currently I’m facing a major problem with the theme and I will like to know if buying the licensed theme will fix the error permanently.

The problem is that members of my site get logged out all the time and I am also experiencing the same. They keep getting logged out on visit to every pages even when they are logged in. I will like to know if buying the theme will fix this issue permanently or that is a general problem with the theme.

The login modal box doesn’t redirect users when they try to login neither is the widget box, it keeps them on the same page and when you click on any page of the site, you get logged out and asked to be logged in again.

I await your kind reply. I love this theme and I look forward to buying it once I know this is not a normal or major theme problem.

Thanks.

Hi there,

This is what can happen when you download illegal versions of a theme. You get an outdated copy, potentially packed with malware and no support from the theme author when something goes wrong.

This issue does not happen on the latest version of the theme, so you may just need the updated version.

Once you purchase the theme and if you still have an issue you can open a support ticket at https://ghostpool.ticksy.com/ and I’ll be happy to look into your issue.

Thanks for the quick response, I really appreciate, I will be placing the order and purchase the main legal version as soon as possible.

Hello, is it possible to create “administrator and moderator” accounts of our social network, which perform actions without being connected to the wordpress interface right in our network? - Admin account - Moderator account - Simple member

In which interface does the administration of our social network take place? via the Wordpress admin interface?

Hi there,

I’m not really sure what you mean, but it doesn’t sound like something the theme does. This is a WordPress theme that supports the BuddyPress plugin.

Pre-purchase question. From the demo, I can’t see an option for members creating their own groups and forums.

Hi there,

You can allow users to create their own groups using BuddyPress – this is disabled in the demo. Users cannot create their own forums in bbPress by default.

Thanks!

I also want a membership plan, such that users have to pay before they can register on the website. Is it theme fully compatible with paid membership pro?

This theme has not been tested with Paid Membership, but it should work. You may be interested in my other theme Aardvark which has several PMP demos: https://themeforest.net/item/aardvark-buddypress-membership-community-theme/21281062

Hello! Found out the problem of authorization of users through social networks. I use the Social Login plugin from OneAll. Checked all the settings of the plugin, everything is correctly configured for me. After attempting to authorize through this plugin, the user first logs into his account on the social network and then returns to my site, but the page is not created for him.

Wordpress version: 4.9.8 Socialize Theme version: 2.34 Social Login plugin version: 5.4.3

What is the problem and how to solve it?

Thx!

Hello i have a pre-sale question, i want creat a collaborative blog (news) and all the posts will be created by the members and they can interact on the groups. is that possible with your template and buddypress? the home page has to be like a news/magazine with categories and the visitor can join the community and post as well. Thank you

Hi there,

If you want users to post from the frontend then you’ll need to use a plugin as User Submitted Posts with the theme. Everything else you mention is possible with the theme. :)

Great Work, I love this theme :)

Thanks a lot. :)

Hello i want to buy t his theme but i have a question: is it possible to change it or translate it to arabic? and what about RT and side bars.?

Hi there,

The theme comes with a POT translation file so you can translate all the theme text to Arabic yourself.

Do you mean RTL? If so the theme does not support this.

What about sidebars? :)

Hi I would purchase the theme but I would request adding review features or plugin like your theme https://themeforest.net/item/the-review-multipurpose-review-magazine-theme/10767023 or https://themeforest.net/item/gauge-multipurpose-review-theme/8676079 which is the price for this integration? I see that your dont give support in customizations but is only add the review feature to user submit reviews and post reviews like your owns themes

Hi there,

It depends on whether you want the entire review and hub system integrated or just the ability for users to rate a post/page or for users to submit reviews. If you contact from my profile page contact form, with the specific details I’ll be able to give you a quote for this work.

I have a pre-purchase question, this theme looks amazing and would be perfect for what I am trying to do, which is basically a movie/community site. The only thing that is missing for me is reviews, is it possible that you have a plugin that would allow reviews and user reviews to be added?

Hi there,

Not currently, this is something I’m working on though. However I currently sell three review themes, Huber, Gauge and The Review, which you can view here: https://themeforest.net/user/ghostpool/portfolio

Also, with this theme, can I change the way the images are displayed at top? Right now it shows 3 images, I would like that to be 5 or 6, like a post loop grid. Is there a provision in the theme for this?

Hi there,

Unfortunately you cannot display 5 or 6 images, 3 is the maximum.

Hi, thinking of buying theme which looks great, can pages like “http://socialize.ghostpool.com/activity”

and “http://socialize.ghostpool.com/members/”

have side bars on right as they don’t look great on their own for the type of site I am creating…

Also can font size in forum be increased?

Hi there,

Yes to both. :)

Great, is changing font something i can do easily or do you need to do it?

The theme has options to change the fonts globally. If you only want to change the font size for the forums, you’ll need to use CSS, which you can add via the theme options. I can provide you with the CSS if you decide to purchase the theme.

some questions , tks so much 1)does this theme support zh-TW ? (i saw Translation ready , i just want to double check) 2)can i customize member’s profile? 3)support multi language in front-end?

Hi there,

1) Translation ready means it comes with an English translation file which you can easily translate into your own language.

2) You can add your own profile fields if this is what you’re asking?

3) Yes with the WPML plugin.

Hi, would I be able to add events feature to this theme?

Hi there,

What do you mean by “events feature” The theme supports the Events Calendar plugin so it already supports a number of event features. :)

hello, is it RTL support ?

Hi there,

Sorry this theme does not have RTL support.

Are you going to release another update with the new version of WPBakery Page Builder?

Hi there,

Yes of course. The theme comes with v5.5, they released a small update (v5.5.1) a few days ago. I don’t like to release a new theme update every time a plugin is updated, but you can expect this update shortly. :)

terrific, and thanks for your quick reply. I can certainly wait for your update, now that I know it hasn’t been out that long.

Please Change social login plugin on something alse authors doesn’t support it any more!

Hi there,

The theme uses the WordPress Social Login plugin, which still looks supported from what can I see. If you’re using a really old version of the theme, it’s likely an older plugin used to be supported. I suggest updating the theme.

Good day Ghost pool and thanks for keeping this theme up to date. I had done some research on some features I felt that may help in the theme to looks more presentable and that would be adding a function of enlargement or zoom effect on featured image and single post featured image when hovering the mouse on those image. Though it seem not to be much. I feel it would be good for the theme. I know how hard it is to maintain a theme and keep up with the ever-changes to word-press. So before you ask or tell me i need to renew support. I will tell you truthfully i don’t have the amount for that yet and with my plans to later purchase the other theme theme gauge in future to extend my multi-site to /game ; I hope you would understand. As such here are few links that may describe what functions i mean: http://soundbox.demo1.wpdance.com/demo/1349-2/ http://soundbox.demo1.wpdance.com/demo/2016/08/31/nullam-dignissim-arcu-id-lorem-suscipit/

in all thank you very much and do appreciate all your efforts on this theme as you where the one that greatly supported me in learning more especially on areas to adv acing some functionality in the buddy-press platform. As to some of my old tickets in the platform you can close them as I was able to resolve them after few research both also finding ways to add full name on the user profile and css-ly customize the profile page

So hopefully if you have a code that could do this and share i would be more grateful but if not could you kindly point be on some on some key areas to look at to make it work. As such I would look at finding ways to to add this function to the the child on my site. In all Thank you and wish you the best. Although i may not be able to support fully on the areas of the support I would try on sharing few extra functions idea I feel the theme may need that would help enhance your sales.

Hi there,

Thanks for the nice comments, but as you said yourself you will need to renew your support in order to get help on this issue. I can’t offer customers support for free, especially for what is essentially a customisation request when other customers are paying for support – it just isn’t fair.

Thanks very much. I guess you miss understood me. I found a way to implement that for me yesterday to my Sub-site. I was only suggesting because I noticed this theme is good on keeping updates but bad at adding custom functionality to the public. To public I mean adding other features in general to itself. It just feels the same even since I started with it. On my part I had already changed most of its look on my multi-site to the point if any one said I was using this theme there would be doubts. What I mean is the way you met the looks and features of the theme so is the way you would meet it in years to come except you request a custom support. And I pray one would not be asked for a custom quote if asking too much changes. I love this theme no doubt, but I feel it lacking some thing True there are many themes that can not be as good as this theme, but the plain truth is that there are some themes that surpass this both in community updates, changes and implementation I am not critiquing this theme in general as if there is a score to give I would say a 7/10 Pro: good updates time Continuous works done to improve the speed time Continuous works to make it compatible to word-press ever changes

cons: Always a custom request. Even till now I guess the demo still has the same @username and does not have full name support (don’t tell me to ask support on this one because I did when I had theme support but did not work well as I was only given a link to do more research on my own till I found a possible way to do it thanks to few other WordPress developers I got to know and learned how to disable its CSS and made few changes.)

Sorry but if you took me wrongly: I was asking if this feature could be implemented for all that is why I place it in comment than sending an email so other users who feel this can help their theme look can request it but as said theme support; So, they can ask using theme support if they want. Am not saying support is a bad thing it is very good but again I feel it is so enclosed where users can not share their thoughts on what can help improve the theme. If you ask what I mean about improve the theme; I mean share thoughts an idea on what can make the theme the best of the best.

Generally, I make use of over 5 themes on my multi site and about 3 of them have a public ticket submission. here users can suggest some general functions publicly and can also make private support which is hidden. Having this those three themes had had major changes where their looks and functions had changed dramatically to the first time I started with them. As also that is where most customs codes written by the customers are used by the developer to advance the theme in general. And since if a user posts a public ticket all users can see it and share their ideas to improve the code and make a theme one that can not be compared to. While all private tickets are hidden between author to specific user where custom ideas user does not what to share out are pasted there. As for me I am low budgeted, and would pay if I had enough but for now I do the custom works my self, so am sorry I can not pay the 41 dollar support now, since I had already done it my self. So, I was only asking in general to if it could be added for all as, it may seem unfair to all I would keep my thoughts to my self and be grateful you keep the theme up to date. In all thanks again for your kind words. Regards

As authors we have to weigh up the time spent on implementing new features versus the money we get back from it. Since we don’t get paid for updates it’s not really incentivised unless your theme is new or a top seller. Also when you bought the theme, you bought it for what it looked like and the features it had, you didn’t buy it for things it would have in the future. I’m not going to change the look of the theme, this would be confusing to customers who purchased the theme to look a specific way – it makes much more sense to release a new theme in this case. However over the years I have definitely added new features and will continue to do so and if a feature becomes highly requested it is usually always added down the line.

As for the @username, this is generated by BuddyPress not the theme. I’m not exactly sure what you’re referring to though?

Hello sir! Thanks for this update!

Hello ! My company is going to buy this theme but we have some questions..We would like to build a forum, with awesome graphics and design, your theme fulfills these conditions. But we would like to use bbpress for build the forum, and not buddypress which is more useful if we want to create a social network. Can you assure us that we will find the same features and the same graphics presented in the demo if we only use bbpress and not buddypress? Thank in advance for your response.

Hi there,

I already responded to your question on Twitter, but I can go into more detail here.

The theme already uses bbPress to generate the forum seen in the demo, it does not use BuddyPress, which does not have any forum functionality.

The forum seen in the demo can be set up on your installation just using bbPress and no other plugins.

hey Ghostpool.. you are awesome this is really amazing template ..i just want to buy this but the problem is this template is for wordpress…can i get this template for asp.net c#..??

Hi there,

I only sell a WordPress version of this unfortunately. However you could hire my developers to convert this to the desired platform.
