I sent a message via the contact form a few days ago with no response yet. My question was regarding how can I go about editing the content in the footer class .sales-box? I am familiar with PHP and child themes but there is no refernce to this in footer.php in the parent theme.
Thank you
I completely overlooked the theme-customze section. Apologies and can consider closed. Thanks
Hi, thank you for your purchase – I replied to your initial support message from yesterday, please check your inbox or spam folder. I usually takes around 12h-32h to get a reply, if not faster, but no messages gets ignored and I’ll always do my best to help as much as possible.
Couple presale Q’s: 1) Does this theme install with all the pages in the demo? I’m looking for one that I can just go in, change up text and photos and be ready to go. 2) If I enter the RSS of my podcast, will it automatically generate new posts based on that RSS when a new show comes out? Hoping for an automatic solution. 3) Is the “latest podcast” on the home page automatically generated, too?
Hi, thank you for your interest:
1. The theme has a one-click import option you can run after the theme is installed, after which you’ll have the exact same website as the demo preview;
2. Yes, configure a simple CRON event and the import process is ran automatically from time to time: https://docs.liviucerchez.com/castilo/#import-feed
3. Yes, the homepage displays the latest episode automatically.
Hope this helps.
Hi,
I was wondering how much coding experience is required for this theme? I only have basic WP coding experience.
Love the theme, looks great!
Hi, thank you for your interest and kind words – the theme doesn’t require any coding experience at all. Of course, if you want to customize it beyond its offered options you’ll need basic coding skills but the code is well written and easy to understand. You can import the demo data with a simple one click process, offering you a quicker start with the theme’s functionality. Cheers!
Hi there,
This is an amazing theme. Just had a couple of questions before buying -
1. Does this need any other plugins/extras to make the podcasts work? Or if I have my podcast ready then it’s all ready to go and I don’t need anything else?
2. What do you use for layout design? In the past I have got themes that use Visual composer and other plugins to design and it’s a hassle when these plugins need an update, but the theme is still in it’s older version, and so the page builder is still running on an old version. I would much prefer if it’s something that’s universal and doesn’t need updating.
3. I am thinking of hosting audio on the site itself. Do the podcasts I use here automatically become available on google podcasts and other such services?
4. Does the 6 month support include support for issues encountered while setting up – like speed, incompatible layouts, etc…
5. I like big fonts. Is there a setting that can make the overall system fonts bigger and easier to read? And will that cause issues with layout?
Thanks. Please let me know as I need to buy and get a podcast site up and running and this seems like the best theme.
Best wishes…
Hi,
Thank you for your interest in the theme and for your kind words, glad you like it. I’ll do my best to help with your concerns:
1. The theme has its own bundled podcasting solution, no need to use any other plugin;
2. The demo preview uses the default WordPress editor with some simple HTML elements here and there, all available via the one-click demo importer; you can also use a third party page builder, if you wish;
3. Any podcast must be submitted to podcast directories like iTunes or Google Podcast via RSS – the theme generates a valid RSS feed link for the episodes, which you can use for such submission, after which everything is done automatically;
4. Please read more about what the support offers via the Support tab: https://themeforest.net/item/castilo-audio-podcast-wordpress-theme/22552192/support
5. You can use a specialized plugin to tweak the typography, no problem ( example: https://wordpress.org/plugins/easy-google-fonts/ )
Hope this helps!
Hi, how can we add the Spotify link in the main page?
Hi, here’s a FAQ on this topic that might help: https://docs.liviucerchez.com/castilo/#faq-homepage-featured-text Please use the Support tab for additional concerns/questions, because this section is more of a pre-sales questions section.
Hello,
My name is Sajjad from RTL-Maker . net
Are you have some themes or plugins that have no RTL support yet?!
But you have some customers that have RTL language (like: Arabic, Persian, Hebrew, …) and need RTL support for using your themes or plugins.
We have a service for adding full RTL support to your themes or plugins. Just look at our website at rtl-maker . net
Best Regards - Sajjad
Hi, thank you, the theme supports RTL languages out of the box. Cheers!
Hi there, I love the features on the theme. Just wanted to ask a couple of questions before I buy -
1. I find the fonts a bit small – is there a way to increase font size and make things bigger without messing up the layout?
2. The area that everything is boxed into – can that box be made bigger so it occupies larger area of the screen? And then is it responsive so it can fit on smaller screens too?
3. Can I add videos too that play directly in the post? Like the audio plays. I don’t want it to open another page to play the vidoes.
4. Are the podcasts on the theme self hosted or embedded from somewhere?
Please let me know, thanks!
Hi, thank you for your interest – I’ll do my best to answer your questions:
1. You can adjust the entire site font size easily with a single CSS declaration, which I can help with.
2. The grid is based on the Bootstrap framework, but can be modified to extend the largest grid size (with Custom CSS).
3. WordPress has the ability to add video embeds to any page or post, so you’ll be able to do this, sure.
4. The audio files for the episodes can be self-hosted or they can link to external resources (direct link to any audio URL).
Hope this helps.
Hi there, I’m considering buying this theme and wanted to ask a few pre-sale questions first. 1. Is it possible to change the font? 2. Is it easy to change the colour? 3. With the different sections on the homepage, can you easily delete one of the sections (eg. “New stuff every week”), or change the order of the sections? Thanks so much!
Hi, thank you for your interest – I’ll do my best to answer your questions:
1. You can easily change the font using a specialized plugin like https://wordpress.org/plugins/easy-google-fonts/
2. The theme has options to change important colors, like the main accent color, background color, links color. You can always customize every aspect and every element using simple CSS.
3. You can remove any section from the homepage, but it a pre-made page template so you can’t change the order without code changes. This is usually fine for most cases, but if you have something more specific for your project then you can get in touch with me and we’ll take it from there.
Hope this helps.
Hello. Is the theme compatible with elementor editor?
Hi, thank you for your interest – the theme is very well coded and compatible with the latest WordPress standards. The demo preview site is using the default WordPress editor, but the Elementor plugin should work fine too, as it is a general solution that works with any well coded theme. You can try the theme out and if you have problems get in touch with me. Hope this helps.
Thank you!
Hi can our authors upload their podcast ? Thx
Hi, thank you for your interest – the podcast can be managed by multiple authors (users created in the admin section), but not by anonymous users. Hope this helps.
thx
Hi,
Great theme- just wondering as the podcast categories have updated- the list doesn’t work anymore. is there a plan to update this or a workaround in the code we can implement so we don’t lose our categorisation?
link to new categories here:
https://podnews.net/article/apple-changed-podcast-categories-2019thanks,
BC
Hi, thank you for your purchase – the latest version of the theme already includes the iTunes new category structure, so make sure you update to see the changes: https://docs.liviucerchez.com/castilo/#install-updates Hope this helps.
love the look of this theme and am likely to buy it, but have a couple of questions that may seem obvious. The banner where the man’s face is to the right of the feed. Is that where my logo would go? Also, can the color be changed? Also, can the banner be made shorter vertically?
I forgot to add. I don’t plan to host myself. I plan to use a 3rd party host (buzzsprout) Will this still work if I add their code for their player for each podcast?
Hi, thank you for your interest – I’ll do my best to answer your concerns/questions. The logo is placed in the header area in the top navigation bar, not in the featured area section. The main accent color can be configured and changed easily, yes. The featured section takes the height of the content inside it and adds a little padding at the top and bottom (which can be adjusted via a simple CSS snippet). You can host episodes externally and just add the link to the media files when you manages he episodes (or this can be done automatically if you import the external RSS feed). Hope this helps.
Hi, Some questions: 1) It’s possible to set a podcast cover and a featured imagem in the episode? They’re 2 different images. 2) The first area of the demo, it takes the art of the last episode. 3) Reduce de dark in the featured area. https://www.burncast.com.br/episode/fenix-negra-e-o-legado-dos-x-men/
Also, hide tags in episode title.
Hi, thank you for your purchase – I would kindly ask you to use the Support channel as this is more of a presales section. I will do my best to help with any concerns/questions you have.
Send to Email liviu_cerchez area Is that correct? Or is another support channel?
That’s correct, I’ll be replying to your support message. Thank you!
The episode plugin is not accessing the uploaded mp3 files or entering direct link. Please let me know the redirect rule for .htaccess file
I am getting this console error when I play audio file
- mediaelement-and-player.min.js?ver=4.2.6-78496d1:12 GET https://www.newbusinessideas.com/episode-player/633/how-to-launch-a-smart-fridge-business-with-jared-richards-episode-15.mp3?_=1 net::ERR_ABORTED 404
- Uncaught (in promise) DOMException
Hi, please get in touch with me via the Support channel and I’ll do my best to help asap. This is probably related to the fact that you need to add some custom rewrite rules in your NGINX config file to handle the custom media links (used by the statistics module).
Okay, just sent you an email, Please confirm and reply, thanks
Alright, I will continue support via that email with a reply. Thank you!
From which email ID shall we expect your reply?
I have replied to your support message via the liviucerchez [at] gmail [dot] com email. Make sure you follow up with a reply for additional concerns.
Hello, I cant believe the theme cant support MadMimi provider for newsletters. Please fix this ASAP.

Hi, i have a issue with the logo. I cant use svg?
and yes i installed the support plugin
Hi, you can use a plugin like https://wordpress.org/plugins/safe-svg/ to enable SVG uploads as WordPress doesn’t natively support it. Hope this helps and make sure you use the Support channel for further questions/concerns.
@liviu – is there a chance to use another background image for an episode, than the normal Post Image? We would like to add a photo of the guest on the front and a bigger picture of the topic as the background of an episode. Thanks in advance for your help – if you can’t help, maybe that’s a thing you can push your theme 
Hi, I’m afraid this is currently not possible as the theme uses only the Featured Image in every context. Maybe, you’ll find this plugin useful: https://wordpress.org/plugins/crop-thumbnails/
pretty big issue: the episode plugin is not accessing the uploaded .mp3 files so that they won’t play (creating a new, separate folder called ”/episode-player/3436/file_name.mp3”)... it should directly access the .mp3 from ”/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/”
Hi, I have replied to your support message, so please use a single way of communication to get a faster and better reply. This situation you refer to is not an issue, as the theme uses rewrite rules to capture statistics for individual episodes. Please reply to the email I just sent you for further details.
cool. the .htaccess rules didn’t work. maybe the nginx rules are needed.
wow. @liviu went out of his way to help.
