what is the recommended size for icon? when i upload image its very small, font icon is ok size

Hi

Make sure you are cropping the image icons properly so there’s no empty space around them. About the size, 1:1 aspect ratio so 100×100 or 200×200 works well

Hello,

Is it possible to add some kind of timeline in listings? I need a custom field where people can point out in what stage they are…

Any ideas or solution?

Many thanks!

Fixed it already :)

Other question:

Can you show listings by a custom field? For example, a select field… 3 options possible. When an option is selected they appear on another page?

Show them where? I’m not sure I understand

Hi

3-Do you have Android and IOS App ? 4-Can work with map and location ? Thanks

Hi

1. It means it’s meant to work with a single language

2. There is direct messages feature for users to communicate with each other. I can’t analyze that website in its entirety, you can ask your questions about features and we can answer

3. No

4. Yes, google maps or mapbox

A few pre-sales questions please:

1) Is there a way for the admin to bulk import listings?

2) For subscription based listing packages, must I use the WooCommerce Subscriptions plugin or can I use a different subscription plugin instead, such as Subscriptio?

3) Is there a way for business owners to offer coupons/special deals on their listings?

4) Can “related listings” be disabled on single listing pages depending on the listing package? E.g., for those with premium listings, related listings don’t show?

5) Can a listing owner disable reviews on his listing? Can he reply to them?

6) Is there a way to integrate paid banner ads, say, at the top of category pages?

7) Can the directory’s listing locations (cities) be limited to ONE state in the U.S.?

Thanks in advance.

Hi

1. Yes, using WP all import plugin

2. The official Woocommerce subscriptions only

3. You can create fields which they can use to add their content in this case coupons, sure. It depends on the specifics what you are looking for

4. Related listings yes, similar listings no

5. No, admin can disable them only. Yes, they can reply

6. Manually by editing the page using elementor, you could add banners above or below the explore widget

7. One state no, one country yes.

Hello, is a new theme/demo planned for the next Update? It woul be very nice to see another great UI Design

Hi

Not for next update, but maybe in the future

Best regards

Привет! Скажите, где найти лицензионный код? Мне нужен он для активации заявки службы поддержки, потому что демо не устанавливается

After updating the theme, I’m unable to see the previous listing types that were imported with the demo from the dropdown in the filter by listing types from the dashboard. ie, I’m not seeing Cars, Real Estate, Jobs, Events. Only the listing types that I created after importing the demo.

How can I be sure that certain listing types are shown and other listing types namely global listing types where no listings are published under are not shown in the dropdown?

Kind Regards.

So, I removed one of the older post types that were imported with the demo and re added it, but what I realize is that it pushed one of the newer listing types out, so it seem to only be showing a select (option) of maximum 5 listing types, the thing is I have 9 listing types on the website.

Yup, definitely only showing 5 options. I created a test listing type and it just push the listing type at the end off.

Hi

I confirmed this is a bug, we’re working on a fix and we’ll release an update

Thanks for reporting

Hi,

Can this theme be translated to several languages at the same time. I mean, one website with one main language. but translated with pluging like Gtranslate?

When you say the theme is translatable to one language, what does that mean exactely? For example, does that mean the site can have two languages (say for example English and French)?

Hi

The site can be translated to one language so in this case either English or French, it’s not multi language compatible

Hello Guys, Nice job on the theme. 1. I was wondering if there is a calendar functionality for booking? If not how are bookings made?

2. How does the contact section work (direct message and email)? Does it go directly to the client that created the listing or does it come to admin? If it goes to client, can admin be able to view it (to prevent transactions outside the platform) or can it be changed that all messages go through admin?

Is the direct message an in platform chat functionality?

Hi

1. There’s no included booking functionality

2. Contact form message goes to the listing email. You can receive a copy. As for direct messages, admin does not have access to those unless you go and check the database where the messages are stored. They are not encrypted.

Yes, direct messages are in platform chat

Do you have a booking meeting function on the listings?

Hi

We don’t have a booking option included

Hi, great job! I like a lot your theme, I have a pre buy question: Is it possible to add more analytics data such as: Number of impressions, reach, leads and conversions? That would amazin!

Hi

We count visits and unique visits. Visits are same as impressions.

There’s no option for the other ones you mentioned

Best regards

Is it possible to insert image into description section?

Hi

Edit listing type > fields > click on description field and enable all controls

Then edit the listing in wp-admin > listings > and you can add images to the editor, same way you would in a regular wordpress post

Is it possible to change Miles to KM? And if it is, how? :)

Many thanks!

Hi

Edit listing type > search forms > advanced form > click on the proximity field and you can change this there

Hi, Do you offer built-in booking system ? If yes how it works?

Hi

We don’t offer a built-in booking system

I already own one license, was looking to start a second project. With the inclusion of Core Web Vitals as a Google ranking factor, as much as I love MyListing, I’ll unfortunately have to go with another theme. It’s just got way too much heavy JS, and Elementor doesn’t help much either. :( It’s still much better than most Themeforest themes, but still way too heavy. Please make it faster!

Hi

We have a contact form on our profile. https://themeforest.net/user/27collective

When you build your directory site using another theme, send it to us and we’ll do a head to head fair comparison with MyListing using same features, same server specs, same content size and we’ll share the exact methodology so you can verify it

There’s 400kb of scripts, most of which are not even theme scripts. If you need to use google maps, you have to load their scripts. If you use google fonts, same way. A page builder? Also its own scripts. Of course we try to optimize our code where this is space, however your conclusion that MyListing is somehow heavier than other similar themes is not correct and we’re happy to prove that.



Don’t get me wrong, of course improvements can be made, like with any other theme, and switching to another theme is your choice. However, I have to challenge that specific claim as it is not valid during all our testing.

Best regards

I never said “MyListing is somehow heavier than other similar themes”. I said quite the contrary, actually, “It’s still much better than most Themeforest themes”.

That being said, webpagetest.org shows your demo site at a total size of 1,230 KB and a CLS score of 0,423(!). A (somewhat) similar free theme comes in right around 900KB with a CLS score of 0,125. Your theme, according to pagespeed insights, does not pass the Core Web Vitals test, while the latter, with a bit of optimization, does.

I’d love to get rid of those 400KB of third party scripts, but you don’t give users the option to do so. Therefore we’re all stuck with this 400KB load regardless of whether we need it or not.

Don’t get me wrong either – Your theme has a ton of features, it’s extremely easy to use, and, like I said, is still faster than most (if not all) themes available on ThemeForest. I’m not even aware of other themes that have built-in caching, so kudos for that.

It’s just still not fast enough for Google’s publicly-declared ranking “standards”. I personally couldn’t justify investing further in MyListing for this reason alone, and I think it’d be a great selling point if you could make changes to make it fast enough to pass CWV (By switching to a lighter page builder, maybe, giving users the option to disable unwanted features, deferring stuff, etc)

As I said above, happy to make a head to head comparison when your site is ready. I don’t know what the demo of that theme contains. You should compare under the same conditions to get a clear picture. CLS score is easy improvable. Simply enabling a loading animation affects CLS score negatively while most people agree that it affects UX positively, letting the user know things are happening when he clicks something or visits a page.

Most of the 3rd party dependencies could be dequed aswell. But If your directory depends on location searching, sacrificing map functionality to increase some arbitrary score it’s not really worth it.

PS: Very curious to know how a free theme is somehow similar in terms of functionality.

Another question, I turned to the person who is engaged in localization, when installing the demo of the latest version and trying to translate it manually, here is what he wrote – The MyListing topic is partially translated by the author of the topic. Out of 2429, 641 lines in the localization file were translated. This is information for March 4, 2021. I have prepared a complete localization file (2429), which is fully translated into Russian. But, unfortunately, the localization file does not fully translate the theme and all its settings. The author of the theme did not implement the ability to fully translate the theme using localization files. But maybe in the future he will do it. Most of the terms and various words of the topic are written in the code of the files (example code below), which makes it impossible to translate the topic using localization files:

That is incorrect. Please submit a ticket on helpdesk and share the site and the strings which can’t be translated

Unfortunately, this is not my site, I turned to a person who can do localization in my language. Here’s a chat of the code he sent me:

Accounts & Roles

Enable user registration

Allow customers to create an account on the “My account” page

<label class=”form-switch”> <input type=”checkbox” v-model=”config.settings.enable_registration”> </label>

Generate username automatically

When creating an account, automatically generate an account username for the customer based on their name, surname or email

<label class=”form-switch”> <input type=”checkbox” v-model=”config.settings.generate_username”> </label> Information about the localization file: Number of rows: 2429

What translates: Expressions and terms of the topic on the site Partially configure the theme in the admin panel Sidebars and widgets Elementor PRO Widgets What doesn’t translate: Demo data (ad types and ads after import, pages and their content, fields in widgets, etc.). After installing demo data, you will need to manually translate pages (names and their contents), custom post types, custom fields, packages, etc. The codestyling localization plugin was used to create localization files and to translate the Poedit program.

Hi

Can you clarify the question?

Hi! please tell me, after localization of the theme, I want to install one of your demos-after installation, will it be automatically translated into my localization language?

Hi

You have to translate it yourself, it’s not automatically translated
