I wish that when a visitor tried to listen to some tracks, he was invited to choose a subscription plan. Is it possible to do this in this theme?

Hello and thanks for your interesting request. For the moment the theme has no systems to limit the access to he podcasts. It is one topic of discussion for our further improvements, anyway can’t provide any precise news about this.

Greetings my friends, im wondering is there any Mixcloud integration or is there a way I can get mi Mixcloud podcasts con the player?. Thanks

Hello Jonathan, thanks for your precious request. Sad to say that we developed a full integration, together with a script able to import all of the podcasts from a mixcloud account into the podcasts of WordPress, but such type of importing was blocked some time ago, making it impossible to reach the file url of the mp3.

This made all of our efforts vain and actually the mp3 files has be be uploaded in WordPress normally.

Our idea was to streamline the work providing an automated tool, but because of a few malicious users that abused of this possibility, it’s been blocked and now unavailable.

You can still import podcasts from any valid rss feed, if you have any, with powerpress or with ssp plugins, which are fully compatible.

I understand is a big kiss, but any SoundCloud and mixcloud importing process is now in the same boat…

Hoping to hear back from you I wish you a good evening, and invite you to ask any further questions you need.

Regards

does it support RTL (right to left)?

No sorry

thanks, but will I be able to write posts from right to left? Like Wordpress allows you too?

Is not tested and I’m not able to know what will happen, sincerely I think is not going to work. You can try and if you don’t like it we cna give you a refund (just ask us via email at info@qantumthemes.com)

thanks!

Hi,

This is a great theme, but I was wondering if we could use the mouse over layout of the “share” layout used in the “fresh posts” on the featured banners as well?

Similarly, I would like to display the Author’s social media links with a mouse over layout for the author cards and display multiple links for the “Follow” button on the “Series Card” as well.

Thank you

Hi, as the theme comes with the general GPL license, you have the rights to customize every part of the provided code, but the support does not cover changes to achieve different functionalities or templates other than the ones included in the product.

I’m about to buy the theme, but in the live preview I notice a problem with Ajax, when I’m listening to an audio and then I move on to another page and I give play to another audio the previous audio continues playing. I have to press the “play” button twice to reproduce the corresponding audio, I think that’s wrong … are you aware of the problem? will they solve it in a new version? I want to buy the theme!

I think that, as we updated the plugin without updating the theme, the theme is still seeing the old version.

We are publishing a theme update within a few hours, as we need to update also Page Builder and woocommerce, so once you update the theme, it will prompt a notification and fetch the new plugin versions.

In this way you don’t need to do anything, just update the theme once I let you know and follow th instructions. For the moment just work normally on the site, the update won’t change any existing content ;)

Thanks!

Hi, other update just as you know, your developer didn’t open any request on the helpdesk

If he dowes he could get faster and dedicated support

regards!

Hello Christian, I’m here to confirm that we published the new theme version.

https://wpcast.qantumthemes.xyz/manual/knowledge-base/how-to-update-the-theme/

Just follow the instructions to update the theme and the bundled plugins. Thanks and have a nice day!

H, Pre-sales question: Is it possible to move the player from it’s fixed position at the header, to the footer? Thanks

That’s something we already were thinking about, but can’t guarantee anything for the moment.

Cool. Also, is there the option to add the menu as a sticky header?

Not by now, because there is already the sticky player, which is the more important element for this type of website. Can’t exclude further changes but by now is not planned.

So I am troubled that the subscription button on both the purchased theme and the online demo through Envato show a very bad error loading page.

example here: https://wpcast.qantumthemes.xyz/demo/feed/ My site example here: https://www.eternalkingdominternational.com/feed/

I have made sure that my XML enclosure tags are set correctly. Nothing changes. I also noticed that the QT support forum states that subscriptions have been canceled but this theme is still being sold with the subscription feature? I have have submitted a trouble ticket but have heard no response.

I have contacted Envato AU and an investigation is underway.

This theme has the POTENTIAL to be great but is failing at a critical point…subscriptions.

Ahhh, I stand corrected. Fixed the issue. Thank you for the quick response. I would recommend that the the manual be a bit more clear and informative on this topic as it relates to the WPCast theme specifically. It can be somewhat confusing. None-the-less this theme works great. I have let Envato know that the issue has been resolved.

I sincerely thank you for your clear and helpful feedback, it will be our priority to update the manual as soon as possible.

I was also thinking, a nice alternative may be to link an internal page, with some explanations, links to some good feed reader, and the url of the feed in plain text to copy. What do you think, could it be more clear maybe? Thanks and wish you a nice day!

The manual has been updated thanks to your precious feedback and hoping the rss functionality is now more clear for everybody :D

Hi is WPBakery plugin is a free version or is that package includes wpbakery licensing too?Do we need to buy extra license for wpbakery? I couldnt find a way to use wpbakery templates since it needs licence. thnx

Hi, no need to purchase alicense, we purchase the bundle license and we provide the updates with the theme ;) Is explained in the manual at this page: https://wpcast.qantumthemes.xyz/manual/knowledge-base/plugins-updates/

regards

Would this theme also allow me to make text posts/post article links and have it look appealing as well or can you only post audio? I am a reporter trying to build my portfolio and work with several mediums but mostly audio which is why I’m interested in this theme. But I do write articles and would like to share them on my site as well! Video too!

Hello! For sure you can make normal text posts :) In the demo we simply highlight the audio contents but normal posts are a basic requirement for a wp theme so that’s guarntee.

Does this work if we have just a serie? So one podcast with lots of episodes?

Hello! Yes of course! In the first demo we are trying to show all the possibilities, so there is a more complex structure, but we started from the major requirements of a standardpodcaster.

So you’ll be able to easly set up a simpler home page with your episodes list and slideshow, and if you want a cool category grid in case you speak about different topics.

Actually the usage of this theme is so intuitive that we almost had no support requests since now, so I trust you’ll love the theme, but if you encounter any difficulty we are here to help ;)

any other question I can help with?

Hello. I just purchased this theme and I’m getting an error while installing it. The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet. Please help!

Hello miturn! If you see this error, it means that you are trying to upload the entire product package instead of the simple theme zip file. Please unzip the product folder in your computer and upload only the theme zip file and the child theme’s zip file.

In order to install properly WPcast, take a look to our manual here: https://wpcast.qantumthemes.xyz/manual/knowledge-base/theme-installation/

Have a good day! ;-)

Yes, that is what happened. Thank you for your quick reply.

Glad you solved it! If you have any other questions, consider open a ticket on our dedicated support website: http://www.qantumthemes.com/helpdesk/forums/forum/wpcast-wordpress-theme/

Have a good day!

I think you’ve nailed it for podcasters and you should continue to develop the theme. Hope you have transcript or timestamp (jump to location) features with the player.

Hi! Yes, that feature is already implemented in our other theme Kentha, and was planned for Wpcast for as soon as it was requested. You are the second user asking for it, and the feature is already queued to be added. Just patient a couple of weeks for the update ;)

thanks for your choice and have a nice day!

Does this WPCast theme allow for e-commerce? What if my podcast sells items as well?

hi, we do not declare any explicit support for eCommerce plugins. Essentially they might work, but you can’t lock the theme’s player under an access restriction (for the moment at least).

Our ajax plugin is compatible with WooCommerce, so any shop, product and cart link will be correctly excluded from ajax loading, for optimal security and functionality of the shop part.

I was thinking of using WooCommerce plug in so this helps. Thank you.

A full implementation was in our plans, but we need to wait to reach a good number of sales before having budget to invest in the next development phase, anyway you shouldn’t encounter big issues.

Anyway, please remember that as this plugin is not officially supported yet, we won’t be able to provide support along its integration or any related upcoming issue.

Hello. I was wondering if your player supports m4a or if you’re planning to add it later? Thank you.

Hi! I’m very sorry but is written both in the description and in the manual, plus I can’t think about any other web player playing m4a. So, you can use the theme, just convert the podcasts for the website, unless they are 2 thousands it won’t take long.

With iTunes for instance you drop all the files in the playlist and click create mp3.

Did you import the podcasts with some plugin? Which company are you using that sets audio with m4a?

Thank you. Your player does support m4a. I was just setting this up wrong but now it’s playing m4a files.

Well, the engine should, but on some browser it may not work, so we don’t declare any other compatibility other than mp3, so i’d suggest to try in mobile also, to be sure you are not excluding some user ;) thanks and have a nice day

Congratulations! Nice Work, Good Luck With Sale

Great Work, Congratulations GLWS :)

Can you have it in a soundcloud version? That’ll be very helpful for affordable hosting.

Hi! You can actually use SoundCloud, but it can’t play in the player because SoundCloud doesn’t provide anymore API keys, preventing direct mp3 access. Anyway very few podcasters uses SoundCloud, most uses private file hosting, libsyn or blubrry. Also, with about 5€/month you can have about 10gb of hosting, while SoundCloud already costs more than 70/year, so where is the affordable?

Congratulations! Nice Work, Good Luck With Sale :)

Incredible work! Good luck!
