I left an honest review about this theme, the fact it ended up de-indexing one of our sites. The response? Ignore it and remove the review. Why not respond??

Hope this helps. If I can be of any further help, please let me know!

Hi

Thanks for the response. I know it doesn’t exist anymore, but between 2 versions from March 30th to May 20th it did exist. We happened to update to version 2.13.7 in early April and for various reasons didn’t spot the issue for some time. So I know that a recent theme update fixes it, but it was out in the wild for around 50 days. Regardless of any quick response (fixing it instantly?), fixed theme version etc, we can not simply go back and change anything about the site being set to no-index for weeks on end and losing a lot of traffic & revenue. I am frustrated yes – the reason I gave you a 1-star review was to reflect the fact I am amazed this even happened. Once discovered an update email with a big “URGENT!” and an apology should have gone out. That’s what I’d have done in this situation.

It is a paid theme that when using a version that was current for 50 days, de-indexes websites. I am very surprised that you guys and other customer don’t appreciate the gravity of this. But we’ll be migrating away at the earliest opportunity as can’t risk it happening again.

Regards Simon

hello, thank you for making this wonderful directory made available – we have some questions and are very interested to make the purchase. we want to use this as a ‘searchable’ director’ based on keywords and industries, is this possible. Also when some is conducting a search – we would like to them to submit their ‘details’ for reserving or booking with us – is it possible to do that? – also we may use ‘multi-keywords’ based search sections – is it possible? — and finally is there an example we can see for what we are asking for? thank you so much

Hey there,

Hope you’re doing well and thanks for reaching out.

With respect to your query here, yes you can make the searchable feature based on keywords whereas for industries you can search them as taxonomies.
When one is making a search, the theme can not hide the search details, users only enter their details while submitting their listings. The the supports search based on keywords, not sure what you mean by multi keywords but it can also take numerous keywords.
We do not have an example but only our demo sites. Please check the demos here for classic and rentals

Hope this helps. If I can be of any further help, please let me know!

Presale questions:
1. Can be used location field 2 times for searching / post listings? To search between 2 locations? E.g Paris to London. Results to be the listings that have been added on the same way? If not possible by theme default, will be possible by sMyles Plugin field editor for WP Job Manager? We want to use Lisitfy theme as directory for transports, so to search listings between 2 locations.

2. Can be disabled Google autocomplete location only in front-end? In back-end the logged-in users to can use auto-complete. To avoid Google API limit (expensive for global purpose). Do you plan or have Open Street Map or any other free alternative. Google API autocomplete have a low free limit / day, and one search / call charged at least 6 times every time (all the dropdown displayed results are charged -tested)!

3. Can be candidate & employer roles of WP Job manager renamed globally, or to add and use 2 different roles as names? E.g candidate to be customer and employer to be company?

4. Can “candidate role (customer)” post free unlimited “resumes (listings)” and “employer (company) role” to pay per listing to view the contact details of the customer (not to pay globally via a membership plugin where have access to all listings), can be accomplish by Listify theme itself? If not, it is compatible Listify theme with WP Job Manager Packages plugin of sMyles?

5. Can be fields customized (hidden / add new fields) by Listify theme or required field plugin editor?

6. Is the theme short-code / widget based? Can we add for example in the top / middle or end of listings a html code for a specific or for all listings at once?

7. Instead display “Apply for job” (buttons etc) and any related default text of WP Job Manager does Listify have an option to easy rename this?

8. Is Listify compatible with core premium add-ons of WP Job manager? Here the same question: can be easy renamed via Listify theme dashboard “resumes, jobs alert, etc”.

9. On search page can be half map disabled? Its a frozen template or can by customized by Elementor for example (its short-code based of WPJM)?

Hey there,

Hope you’re doing well and thanks for reaching out.

With respect to your query here, \

  1. Can be used location field 2 times for searching / post listings? To search between 2 locations? E.g Paris to London. Results to be the listings that have been added on the same way? If not possible by theme default, will be possible by sMyles Plugin field editor for WP Job Manager? We want to use Lisitfy theme as directory for transports, so to search listings between 2 locations.
    The search within the homepage is used to search the listings only. If you need a search for the blog posts then you can use the blog section page instead. There is already a search functionality there. The Field editor plugin will only work to add extra fields to your listings.
  2. Can be disabled Google autocomplete location only in front-end? In back-end the logged-in users to can use auto-complete. To avoid Google API limit (expensive for global purpose). Do you plan or have Open Street Map or any other free alternative. Google API autocomplete have a low free limit / day, and one search / call charged at least 6 times every time (all the dropdown displayed results are charged -tested)!
    We currently do not have the ability to use Open Street Maps. Google auto location can be disabled but within the Extended location plugin settings. The auto complete feature is within the theme and disabling that would require custom work.
  3. Can be candidate & employer roles of WP Job manager renamed globally, or to add and use 2 different roles as names? E.g candidate to be customer and employer to be company?
    You can only set the account role in the listings submission page where you can select just a single role to be used while submitting the listings. You can as well use WooCommerce registration to assign a customer role.
  4. Can “candidate role (customer)” post free unlimited “resumes (listings)” and “employer (company) role” to pay per listing to view the contact details of the customer (not to pay globally via a membership plugin where have access to all listings), can be accomplish by Listify theme itself? If not, it is compatible Listify theme with WP Job Manager Packages plugin of sMyles?
    What you are talking about here sounds like versa of what we do in the theme. In the theme we use the listing payments plugin to limit users who are adding listings to the site. We do not have a way to limit employer to view the individual listings but this should be achieved using other third party plugins.
  5. Can be fields customized (hidden / add new fields) by Listify theme or required field plugin editor?
    Adding of custom fields should be done by WP field editor plugin.
  6. Is the theme short-code / widget based? Can we add for example in the top / middle or end of listings a html code for a specific or for all listings at once?
    Our theme is widget based and you can add html code using widgets in any section of the theme.
  7. Instead display “Apply for job” (buttons etc) and any related default text of WP Job Manager does Listify have an option to easy rename this?
    This can only be renamed in the theme files and others can be renamed in the customizer section.
  8. Is Listify compatible with core premium add-ons of WP Job manager? Here the same question: can be easy renamed via Listify theme dashboard “resumes, jobs alert, etc”.
    The theme should work well with other premium plugins from WP job manager since the theme is using WP job manager as the core plugin.
  9. On search page can be half map disabled? Its a frozen template or can by customized by Elementor for example (its short-code based of WPJM)?
    Yes you can disable maps on the listings results page and usually its a template based on a short code.

Hope this helps. If I can be of any further help, please let me know!

how can I add the hero widget with the search bar to a normal page. It looks like when I use the Page: Home template, it is already incorporated there but it doesn’t work with a plugin I have for events (Events Calendar) . The issue is that it doesn’t display the events like it would normally display it on a normal page template. I would like to add the events on the home page and keep the Listify hero search bar.

Hey there,

Hope you’re doing well and thanks for reaching out.

With respect to your query here, the search bar requires the home template. Changing it to display your events would require to change the widgets of the Homepage template. Else if you need to individually change that for a specific page then that would be something that requires custom work to achieve.

Hope this helps. If I can be of any further help, please let me know!

I am aware the search filter is visible on the hero image which is also only on the homepage. When I add the events calendar widget on the homepage is also visible however the styling of the widget is off, it doesnt show how it would normally show on a normal page. Would you be able to help me with it if I renew the support? Or do I need to pay extra for custom coding? How much would it be? here is my website https://houstonow.com At the bottom you can see the events calendar widget displayed in a now so appealing style and here is how it normally shows on a normal page or when the theme is not activated. https://houstonow.com/all-events/ Thank you for your fast reply

Hey there,

Hope you’re doing well and thanks for reaching out.

With respect to your query here, not sure if you have raised this issue to the events calendar devs team. If the styling is changing due to the theme that is something that would require custom work. Could you please confirm this? You can do so by getting in touch with us here: Create a New Ticketor contact us here.

Does it have nearby option.. and does it show distances?

Hey there,

Hope you’re doing well and thanks for reaching out.

With respect to your query here, yes you can enable the nearby option but it would require another plugin which is the extended location plugin. You can use the theme’s location slider to select a distance based on the location you insert.

Instead of using google maps can open street map be used ?

Hey there,

Hope you’re doing well and thanks for reaching out.

With respect to your query here, right now we do not have the ability to use Open Street Maps. As for changing Google maps to use open street map, would require more advanced modifications to replace Google Maps. This would need to be done by you at this time. So it is possible, but we only recommend implementing open street map if you are comfortable with code.

I’m getting an error when adding a listing. When I enter the business name it says Please enter no more than 0 characters.

When creating a listing, if you accidentally omit the description, it says “Please Fill Job Description!!” from the Job Manager plugin. Is there a fix for it to make it say “Please Fill in the Description?”

Also, can I change the placeholder text for “E.G. London” to something else?

when you search for a region – why does the theme not just pull up the region page, but does an actual search?

Hi, before I purchase your theme, I would like to login and see how it works. Do you have a demo site that I can login?

Thanks!

I would like to ask one more, Which hosting plan, and requirement in order to run the site stably? Is the shared hosting enough? Or should I use something like VPS?

Thanks!

I apoligize for a separate quesitons. I was looking at your demo site; here are some more questions.

1.. When user pays to post their business information to admin, can this automatically generate their account to fill-in?

2.. Can I limit the user to submit their business information only for 1 listing? Or everything admin must check each submits?

3.. Is there a way to customize the business information page? I see the banner, website information, description, etc. If I would like to add another new section for the business owner, is there an option for it?

4.. Can I use a website builder such as elementor or divi to customize the design?

5..Do you have a tutorial video or walkthrough video I can watch to understand better before purchasing?

Best, Erin

Hey there,

With respect to your query here,
Do you have a demo site that I can login?

Unfortunately we do not have a demo site backend for this theme.


Which hosting plan, and requirement in order to run the site stably? Is the shared hosting enough? Or should I use something like VPS?

Both hosting plans should work well with the theme..


When user pays to post their business information to admin, can this automatically generate their account to fill-in?

Once a user pays to create a listing he/ she also creates an account but this is not automatic..


Can I limit the user to submit their business information only for 1 listing? Or everything admin must check each submits?

Yes you can using listing payment plugin..


Is there a way to customize the business information page? I see the banner, website information, description, etc. If I would like to add another new section for the business owner, is there an option for it?

You can use WP job manager-field editor to add custom fields in that page..


Can I use a website builder such as elementor or divi to customize the design?

For this you will need the elementify plugin to integrate the theme with elementor but it can only happen on static pages..


.Do you have a tutorial video or walkthrough video I can watch to understand better before purchasing?

This is not accessible at the moment. Please check our documentation here:https://kb.astoundify.com/article-category/listify/.

PRE PURCHASE QUESTION -

Is there any way of downloading the real state data from the website to an XML file or generating dynamic URLs with XML format?

We are looking for a Real Estate template / tool that let us to generate automatically XML files with all the information with the uploaded propierties.

Looking forward to hear from you soon. Thank you.

Hey there,

With respect to your query here, You can export content, including listings from the default WordPress tools. From the Tools menu go to ‘Export’ to get an XML file of listing content. You can also use a plugin to export content if you wish. Moreso when it comes to importation, you can upload a list of listings either with a CSV or XML file using the WP All Import plugin. See here for more information: How to Import Listings Using WP All Import.

Thanks Brian, when exporting, what type of content should we select?

Also, could we export Properties post type using WP All Import?

Thanks in advance

Hey there,

Hope you’re doing well and thanks for reaching out.

With respect to your query here, if you are talking of type of content that would depend with the content your have in your site. Since I have not seen the content, I would suggest you do all content in your post types. They should all be in CSV format.
