Hi there ! I have a simple question please.

Can users (or visitors) leave a rate ? on a review article for exemple…

Thanks for answer

I just responded to your e-mail :-). We currently do not have the ability for visitors to rate articles. However you could easily add this in via plugin. There are both free and premium plugins available that can add visitor/comment ratings. We do not have plans on adding this ability as it already exists in plugin form.

thanks a lot for your fast answer sir. And congratulations for this beautifull theme

I purchased the theme because the live preview showed 3 different options for the home page layout (2 columns, 3 columns etc with image-driven previews on the home page) All i have is the standard 1 column w/sidebar layout I could get from any free wp theme. How do I access the other layouts?

It sounds like you have not imported the demo data. You just need to use the one-click importer and it will come with all of the demo data including the various homepages. Make sure to check out the theme documentation included with your theme as it will cover how to import the demo data as well as use your theme.

If you have any other questions, feel free to open a support ticket as we are happy to help out: http://support.progressionstudios.com

Thanks for the quick reply. I just tried it and it’s certainly different but… I still only have one column and can’t change it. None of my nav options, posts or images have been carried over and none of my customization options have changed so I can’t modify any of the demo content. Any suggestions?

Feel free to open as support ticket and we can help you out. Be sure to provide a link to your site when you open the support ticket as that will speed things up: http://support.progressionstudios.com

Pre-purchase question: Can i easily remove the octagonal ratings box?

Yeah, you can easily remove the octagonal ratings.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi, How is the rating box ( with pros cons etc ) placed ? Is it possible to use multiple of these in the same post ? Ie, to create a post with 10 products instead of just one review per post.

Thanks

Each post can have one review box per post. The rating box is added via custom meta. Therefore by default there can only be one review box per post. Technically you could create another review box using the page builder but it would require a few additional steps.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks for the reply, Could I create the box in the page builder and add multiple times to a post using a shortcode, or would the box need to be created from scratch each time ?

Yes, you could create the box via the page builder and create a re-usable template for this layout. That way you would not have to create it from scratch it time.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hello, I have a pre-purchase question. I’m loving the overall look of your theme, but will I be able to change out the purple colors? I do horror reviews and purple just won’t get it. :)

Yeah, you can easily adjust the colors of the theme. In addition you can adjust the fonts within the theme options panel.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi! I was wondering if you have a basic walk-through for how to setup everything with your theme, like the slideshow and things. Thank you!

Yeah, we include documentation with all of our themes. You can find this in the download in the “Documentation/Help” section of your download. We include both written and video documentation.

If you have any other questions, feel free to open a support ticket. We are happy to help out: http://support.progressionstudios.com

I have some pre-purchase question. Are you guys still working on this theme or stopped? (Since I don’t see any updates after may 2018). How many ad units could be used with this theme? I want to use it for both affiliate and advertising purpose. Is one click update system available for this theme or do I need to manually update the theme? Does it supports all types of mostly used and major plugins? Also please note that I am new to all this things. I want to make sure that everything is beginner friendly with this theme. I like the theme but I am quite doubtful since there’s not many purchases, comments, or many reviews. But I do really like this theme and appreciate your work.

I’m happy to answer any questions.

1) Yeah, all of our themes get updates from time to time. We have themes that are 7+ years old that we still support. We do extensive testing to all of our themes therefore they rarely need patches for bugs.

2) There is no limitation on advertisements used within the theme. Assuming you are using one that is widget based (like google adwords), you can insert them in a number of areas. We have even added specific widget areas above/below posts. We added a demo of this below the posts in the live preview.

3) Updates: Yeah, you can turn on automatic updates for our theme. We have directions on how to do this here: https://progressionstudios.com/tutorial-item/how-to-update-your-wordpress-theme/

4) Yeah, this theme is coded using WordPress standards. Therefore it will work with all major plugins.

5) Yeah, this theme is beginner friendly. We include video tutorials as well which walk you through step-by-step directions in real time. In addition if you need help using the theme, you have access to open support tickets. You will receive 6 months of support built-in to your purchase: http://support.progressionstudios.com

Initial Release

Thanks, glad you are impressed by our Ratency WordPress Theme. We are extremely happy with the current functionality of our theme. Also the buyer feedback so far has been amazing. We have no plans on adding additional functionality. No reason to add unnecessary code and create a bloated theme :-)

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hello,

a pre-purchase question please, i want to monetize my website is there any place ready for banners in the home page and posts ? and, can I insert a banner in the home page, in place of a post?

thanks

Yeah, you can insert banners throughout the theme. We have a few banner examples (Sidebar, Above/Below the Posts). You can also easily add banner ads above/below any post lists. We do not have a banner option that will replace a post.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Does your theme have any way for posts to be rated by visitor to the website as well as a view counter so that we can feature the more popular posts?

Currently we only support ratings via the post author. However there are a number of plugins that can add-in ratings via the post comments. Since we are using the default WordPress comment form, just about any rating plugin should work.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Pre-sale questions (2):

a) What about compatibility with WPBakery Page Builder? We do not use Elementor.

b) We would like to use this plugin with your theme: https://codecanyon.net/item/youzer-new-wordpress-user-profiles-era/19716647. But it needs BuddyPress. Is it possible?

I am happy to answer any questions.

a) This theme is built using the page builder Elementor. We do not have any support for WPBakery Page Builder built-in. We switched to using Elementor in all of our themes about a year ago and have been extremely happy. Normally our themes will still work on any page builder but this one is pretty well integrated. All the post lists, post sliders, footer, etc. are built using Elementor.

b) I recommend reaching out to the plugin author and asking him about theme support. The author probably has some requirements that you can check with them.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Maybe we buy 10-15 licenses because this is the most beautiful review theme on Envato. But we need more functions. We want to make rankings in the form of a list. Tables that will position itself by votes and popularity. Do you know how to do such ranking lists? Plugin? Maybe some of your add-ons allow it? If it was possible (it is possible in the Re: Hub theme), we would even buy 10-15 Ratency licenses today.

How do I make the theme Turkish.

I do not want the top bar. How can I take it away. it takes up too much space. https://hizliresim.com/YgYnma

The photos look bad. and the font color looks blue. Why does not it look like demo.

Make sure to check out the documentation included with the theme. It will cover how to setup and use all sections of the site.

Please can I change the width of the slider?

Yes, you have the ability to easily control the slider width.

Hi about to purchase this theme AND I was wondering about several questions:

1. if you can add an image to the header. 2. How easy it is to customize this theme because I am new to themeforest. 3. Can I make the home page display a single post instead of two posts in a roll 4. Can I add GIF as the feature image on the homepage.

Please these questions would help in purhcasing this theme

Thanks for your quick response

Yes, you can display one post with text underneath as well as a sidebar on the homepage.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Sorry I keep coming back with more questions. But does this support schema?

There is also the fact that I saw a complaint in the review section saying that the website is really heavy as a result of the plugins used, can you clarify

Yeah, our theme supports google rich schema.

The only bad review was left by a buyer who was very misinformed. Unfortunately they never asked for help and instead assumed something was wrong. Though we reached out to them to assist they never bothered to responded.

That being said you can check out our average review rating to see that we are one of the top authors on ThemeForest. We have over 40,000 customers on ThemeForest and have been around for any years. I assure you our themes are of the highest quality.

Just a pre-purchase question. Can you make the header nav bar as a gradient?

1) Sorry but the logo cannot be displayed in the navigation bar. We created the design specifically to have the navigation on it’s own bar/line. If you wanted to adjust this, it would require customizing.

2) Not exactly sure what you mean by watermark. But you can fully adjust the footer. Adding a background image is very easy to do, as is editing any text in the footer.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

I’m talking about the “developed by Progression Studios” watermark on the footer. Also, can the inside colors of the review scores hexagon be changed?

Yeah you can easily update that text.

Also, yes you can easily update the colors of the hexagon shape that contains review scores.

Is there any possibility to add a sidebar to this theme? I need a sidebar with a “About Me” section, my “Social Counter” and a “E-Mail Subscribe” Button. And what happens if I write a normal Blog Post not a Review? Just wondering what happens with those numbers…

Yeah, you can easily add a sidebar to any page or the posts. You can see the sidebar on the category pages like so: https://ratency.progressionstudios.com/category/gaming/

You can write normal blog posts as well as reviews. The review sections will automatically hide when the review is not used. An example of a non-review can be found here: https://ratency.progressionstudios.com/2013/10/hello-world/

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Is there a language in turkish?

Yeah, our theme supports the Turkish language.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

can u mention the min server specs? do u have demo data to import initially? what is the slider plugin used?

Our site is definitely optimized for both speed and search engine optimization. I can assure you the page size is much smaller than most themes. Please understand the page score generators are based on very limited data points. For example we use Pressable.com which has a built-in CDN and cacheing system. However, the Google pagespeed tester reads our CDN as a redirect and therefore lowered the score. In addition it ignores the cacheing system in the score. That being said the overall score is relatively high. Do understand that page speed testers are great tools but the score themselves are meaningless in most cases.

first i will be developing the website on a test domain, and then later i will be migrating it to new domain, hope the licence will not be an issue when i migrate

Yeah, you can develop the site on a test domain and then transfer it when ready. That is allowed within the license.

If you have any other questions, feel free to open a support ticket and we can assist: http://support.progressionstudios.com

Hello, a pre-purchase question. I would like to know with what criteria the theme shows the entries in the main Slider of the home? I ask it because I have a doubt if it actually shows entries automatically (be the last entries in the feed or the entries of a certain category or those that have a tag such as “featured”)

You have full control over what posts are displayed in the homepage slider.

Example 1: The easiest method is to allow the post slider to automatically display the latest posts. Again this can be set to automatic so you do not have to manage it.

Example 2: Another option is to only display posts tagged as “featured”. This option works great if you want to pick which posts display in the slider manually.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

If you want to use another companies add-on, you can do so without any limits. Any add-on will work great with our themes.
