Hi, which media gallery do you use?? RtMedia or MediaPress? or another?

Hi sowhatif04 we don’t use any of those plugins, the theme has a Vikinger media plugin. Best Regards

I want my members to sell digital products by posting ads. Do you think about this for the future?

Hi, sadly, we don’t have plans for multi-vendor integration. If something changes, we’ll let you know. Best Regards

multi-vendor feature could be nice this is just a suggestion.

Hello, is this theme compatible with TutorLMS BuddyPress Integration? https://www.themeum.com/tutor-lms-buddypress-integration/ Also, is it possible to add additional buttons to the group navigation? Example: Courses?

Hi hcmendez, sorry, but the theme doesn’t have LMS integration. Best Regards

Goodday, I have a few questions, some were already send by e-mail but I think we get a faster reply via here.

Can you please advise if it’s possible to make the text or total view of the whole site smaller? The text, buttons and icons on our site are way bigger in comparison with the demo pages, therefore the header menu will not fit correctly.

It is possible to change the emoji’s when reacting on (for example) a post?

If we click on an icon in the sidebar menu, it doesn’t disappear automatically when being redirected to the page but we have to click on the menu to close. How can we change the settings or is this a bug?

Hi topplayer1 if you mean the support email, please keep in mind that in order to provide a better support experience for our customers, we are now using a ticket system which you can access here: https://odindesignthemes.ticksy.com/ We guess that you have an old theme version, because this is mentioned in the latest versions of the theme. We always suggest to have the theme updated.

Best Regards

As I posted in my review already, I did go through everything again and created a list of everything that is missing or makes it unusable for us at the moment.

please take it as a constructive critic, we really love your theme and want it to become even better and usable for us and others!

1) Report system to report user, post and media with backend moderation interface like:

“Block, Suspend, Report for BuddyPress”: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-toolkit/

or the youzify report system: https://youzify.com/downloads/buddypress-moderation-plugin/

or BuddyPress Moderation Tools by BuddyDev: https://buddydev.com/plugins/buddypress-moderation-tools/

2) Buddypress activity post privacy to let members decide who can see their posts, like youzify: https://youzify.com/downloads/buddypress-edit-activity/ or this plugin: https://buddydev.com/plugins/activity-privacy-for-buddypress/

3) Block Members option like: BuddyPress Block Users: https://buddydev.com/plugins/buddypress-block-users/

or youzify: https://youzify.com/downloads/buddypress-block-members/

4) Profile visibility privacy, almost like posts privacy, see: https://buddydev.com/plugins/bp-profile-visibility-manager/

5) I haven’t checked this point, but you probably can answer it, is this theme fully GDPR confirm? Is there a cookie Complianz plugin that is supported? That is strictly needed in the whole EU.

6) Hidden groups function and other missing core features like a filter to show only my friends in the member directory or only my groups in the group directory.

7) The top search bar is not searching for products when woocommerce is installed.

8 ) Support for a better product review plugin (there is no edit function actually and no fancy review overview) like: https://woocommerce.com/products/woocommerce-product-reviews-pro/

or: https://wordpress.org/plugins/reviewx/

9) “The Events Calendar” plugin support

10) “Knowledge Base for Documents and FAQs” plugin support

11) LearnPress support, we don’t use it, but it’s used by many communities

I think that’s all and covers our and many other use-cases.

Please update me about what will be added / considered or not be implemented.

Thank you for your time and this great theme, looking forward to use it

Hi Surrealer, thanks for your suggestions! Even though we can’t promise to add them, we’ll pass this to the dev team so they have it into consideration. Regarding point 7, because lots of people requested to user the search only for “community” things (members, groups, etc) we sepparated the option for including WooCommerce items in the search. You can use the “Customizer” -> “Vikinger Settings” -> “Blog” -> “Post Types – Display in Search” option to include any other post types you like in the site search, like shop items. From now on we don’t have an updates log because we don’t have pre-defined updates, but we’ll add stuff depending on availability/requests. Please, send us a DM through our profile page https://themeforest.net/user/odin_design so we can tell you a bit more about the other stuff. Best Regards

Want to confirm that these three plugins would function within the theme and not conflict with anything:

- https://wpjobmanager.com/

- https://www.philopress.com/products/bp-maps-for-members/

- https://www.paidmembershipspro.com/add-ons/membership-maps/

Thanks!

Hi dmf1670, sadly the theme doesn’t have integration with those plugins that you’re mentioning. Due to the really custom nature of the design (that has things like a custom slider with icon tabs in the profile pages instead of the classic BP row of links in order to make it look different than the average BP theme) plugins that may work in a vanilla theme, may require some code customization in order to integrate them. Best Regards

Hi, I am looking to have a video library for members to access, they would pull from vimeo or youtube.

Would I basically need a video blog post for each one, and then it can just be searched and filtered like your blog example page?

Hi, the theme doesn’t have an option for video library. People can upload videos and post YouTube ones in the status updates, but there’s no library to search through. Best Regards

Hi. The theme breaks when I use li – /li tags. There is no problem when I use ul-li-/li-/ul or ol-li-/li-/ol. Note: I just tried it on bbpress. I haven’t tried it on blog and buddypress. I hereby submit for your information.

Hi, the bbPress LI works OK, as you can see here: https://odindesignthemes.com/vikinger-theme/groups/cosplayers-of-the-world/forum/topic/welcome-to-the-cosplayers-group-forum/

You just have to format them correctly, put the LI items inside OL or UL:

  1. Ordered List V1
  2. Ordered List V2
  • Unordered List V1
  • Unordered List V2

Please keep in mind that this is handled by bbPress, not the theme.

Best Regards

please please please consider multivendor update please !

Hi eriksteinmeyer, sorry, we don’t have plans to add multivendor. If something changes, we’ll let you know!

Totally agree with erisok, the project look incomplete without front end submitter.

Btw no reviews and rank for groups yet?

As we mentioned in previous comments, we don’t have plans for front-end blog submissions The WordPress blog feature works from the backend and they have an already really powerful editor with lots of blocks and features (and constantly getting updates). If you don’t want to grant access to the complete backend features to someone, remember that you also have the option to give users the role of “Editor”, “Author”, or “Contributor” https://wordpress.org/support/article/roles-and-capabilities/ which allows them to write blog posts from the backend but “locks” some of the other features. Regarding reviews and ranks for groups, it’s not a feature that BuddyPress has, and the last plugin you linked us wasn’t even updated in 8 years. This seems more a customization work as it’s not a feature widely requested, for this reason, as we mentioned before, we don’t have plans to add this in the future. Best Regards

everything looks nice designed but when it comes to posting the users see the WP backend which ruins everything, am I wrong?

Thankyou for you great work, this is awesome see your roadmap is smooth until last update. is vikinger have roadmap for future update?

I have a Request…

Frontend Post Submission i think frontend post submission for the community is perfect, they can make they own post sharing with each other.

Hi erisoktafiana, for now we completed all the planned features in the roadmap to reach the Vikinger “final” version, but we’ll keep maintaining the theme with updates, we’ll also keep adding features but with no roadmap. For example, we just released and update that includes lots of hooks.

if I buy this WordPress theme and in future can I change into html without losing the date

Hi, sorry, but you can’t do what you’re mentioning. If you’re looking for that, then we don’t recommend you this theme.

Could u please describe which bugs u fixed in 1.9.1.1?

Hi, the update fixed blog and other widget bugs of the hooks update, same as 1.9.1.2.

sorry i have a problem, when i install the template, it do not appears the plug in installation, and vikinger import generate error, how solve it?

Hi peppepadua84, please download the latest version and make a clean install. Best Regards

Hello! I can’t change fonts. API key inserted. The font list is not loading.

Hi AndreyPavlovich, please open a ticket here: https://odindesignthemes.ticksy.com/

Best Regards!

Okay( My support ended because I haven’t used your theme for a long time. I waited for the functions to appear. It might be as simple as writing a manual, or simply integrating font support like most templates. Thanks for the answer anyway.

Hi, sorry, but the API feature is working OK as other users are currently using and we haven’t had any reports about what you say.

Hello. I’ve tried to download the new version as suggested above, but the problem continues. I mean, the blog page “crash”, and does not show in a proper way, This seems to be related to the Vikinger Widgets plugin, since without it, the theme continue working as normal.

Example: https://gamingnovato.com/mamma-mia-nintendo-fans-are-furious-with-chris-pratts-choice-to-voice-mario-in-the-film/

I’ve clean cache, re-download and install, and nothing.

P.s: My support as expired. All i need is the widgets to start working again :/

I’ve had to disable the widget for now. Since it’s blocking major pages. But please, be aware of this :/

Hi! The update that fixes these issues has been released, please download the update

Hi. It’s working now. Thanks!! :D

Is it possible to give group permissions like “only Admin can create new posts”?

Sadly, the theme doesn’t have that feature.

Is there any option to share activity to whatsapp or any other platform using a link?

Sorry, the theme doesn’t have an option like that, only internal share. Best Regards

The theme is crashing my wordpress install. Any clues why it would be doing this. when you click activate it loops in recovery mode

Hi accounting_queeryouthassemble, thanks for your purchase!

That’s strange! As you can see, other people are able to install it without any issues. First of all, please make sure that you have the latest WP version installed, and be sure to check your WordPress Site Health. Many issues you may encounter can be easily solved by ensuring that you don’t have any issues reported by your WordPress Site Health page, like errors or old versions of PHP. You can check your WordPress site health via your WordPress backend panel -> Tools -> Site Health.

After that, if you haven’t done much yet, we recommend you to do a clean install to start again to make sure that the things you’ve done don’t interfere with the setup (be sure to install the latest version of the theme!)

You’ll first have to install and setup the theme you can do it following the docs: https://odindesignthemes.com/vikinger-theme-docs/ inside “Getting Started” – “How to Install” “Theme Setup” (this is an important step as you need to correctly customize the BuddyPress setting to make sure everything works OK). After that, check this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXEgduXEupk to import the demo content

Doing this things in order is very important for the process as failing to correctly setup BuddyPress may lead to errors or styling issues. If you install the latest version, you can see all steps in the “Getting Started” tab

Regarding customization, we really recommend checking the docs https://odindesignthemes.com/vikinger-theme-docs/ where you can find all the info about customization (we recommend the section – Theme Customization – Customizer Overview to see what you can do with the customizer) and we also have video guides https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdR1KxGpPfLWZ1Yq0_mNlYCtj8TLfX9CK

Best Regards

I think something did break in the update published today

Hi! Please re-download the theme as we’ve just released a new update! :)
