Hi, I am having a few issues with finally installing the theme. 1) Is there a way to enable an auction only site? I do not want any other options for products other than auctions.

2) I also do not want vendor capabilities, all items are ours. Is there a way to again just make the admin the only vendor?

3) when I add test auctions (my home page is set as the auctions page) the 1st auction in the grid has its description showing as the page header. I have never encountered this before and have been pulling my hair out trying to solve this.

thanks in advance

Hello,

1. By creating only products that are auctions, simply have the Product type changed from Simple to Auction.

2. Deactivate the plugins, like Dokan or WCFM if you do not need the functionality of a multivendor website.

3. Please send us a ticket or an screenshot to understand this request better.

Hello,

1. Can I use Ibid to auction domain names AND to sell domain names normally (without auction) at the same time?

2. If I can do both (point 1), would I only need your theme?
Or I’d also need another plugin to do the job? If so, which one?

Thank you.

Thank you.
Is there a way to avoid unpaid bidders, please?

Yes. By using this addon. It can be used for both vendors and customers (for customers to purchase credits to bid and for vendors to be able to post products) -> MT Auction Subscriptions and Credits for iBid

This way only trusted bidders will be allowed to bid.

Thank you. It seems interesting. I will contact you again after finishing my current project, as soon as possible.
Regards.

I have a few questions before I buy. 1 Can you set up a charge for Vendors and also a % of their sale price. 2. Can you sell bids kind of like DealDash? 3. Can a sold item be removed automatically after a period of time. 4. Can support handle these request without additional costs. Thanks

Hi there,

1. Yes. You can set up the commissions for each vendor. Details.

2. Yes. By using this addon. It can be used for both vendors and customers (for customers to purchase credits to bid and for vendors to be able to post products) -> MT Auction Subscriptions and Credits for iBid

3. It can be hidden. There a option for that (no option to auto remove it completely).

4. These are included in the theme (exception is the addon, which is a separate addon).

Have a great day!

Thanks for that info. Sorry but 1 more question. Current demo has 4 Products, can this be extended to 7-10 with smaller resolution so its not taking up the whole page?

Hi,

Right now, you can set up to 4 columns on products grid. We will add more options in a future update. In case you are interested, we can do this option directly on your site (after purchasing the theme) and then will also include it in a new update.

Hello! Can the theme be configured so that it can be used simultaneously for auctions and traditional marketplace? That is, you can generate auctions and also publish conventional notices. On the other hand, buyer users can create purchase request posts?

Hi,

Yes, you can mix the auctions & products in one single marketplace/store -> Read More.

No options to request products so far. This is on our todo list and will be integrated very soon.

How do I change the roll over navigation on my heading from white to black. When viewed on a phone the menu icons that are white on a light background are not visible. Also the signin/loged in menu is difficult to access as the dropdown doesn’t “stick”. https://koiauctions.co.za

My problem was solved when I changed to a different header regarding the white colours. (I was using header no 3). Now I need to figure out how to get the “my account” dropdown link to work without clicking forever around the dropdown arrow and wording. This is going to be extremely frustrating for users. Only think I can do is double up to the my-account page on the menu, which is not very pretty.

Hi,

Please send us an email via this form https://modeltheme.com/contact and we will look into this problem.

Thank you!

Hello, do you have an nft affiliate product importer for your theme? I had purchased the theme and the Live NFT Cards Affiliates with VueJS plugin to see that the plugin does not use woocommerce. Can I get a refund for the plugin, not the theme?

How did you import opensea products?

Hi there,

The plugin as it is now, can be used to list NFT’s in real time from the opensea.io website (via their API).

You can mail us here https://themeforest.net/user/modeltheme#contact and we will provide you a demo page with already added shortcodes – to help you start with on your website.

Regards!

Hi there, i am looking for a live bidding template. Can your theme handle live bidding up dating every 15 seconds or realtime like www.snipster.de ?

Hi,

Yes, it can be used for such websites. The bidding refresh rate can be set to min 1 second

How do I change product condition to nil or add something different using WCFM Marketplace I can add this in the ibid functions file which allows me to do this as main admin, but vendors do not get this choice.

add_filter(‘simple_auction_item_condition’, ‘my_example_filter_1’ ); function my_example_filter_1( $array ){ }

$array['healthy']='Healthy';
return $array;

and in product data you will get new product condition option available to select named “Healthy”.

Hi,

Please follow this article and also the code snippet to modify the condition fields:

Theme is installed with all the required plugins, however theme panel option is still not displayed. What could be the reason?

Hi there,

Let me know if you already opened a help ticket in our help desk platform so far?

Make sure that the ModelTheme Framework is installed and activated (see that on Appearance -> Install Plugins).

It is responsible for the theme panel.

When registering on the site the link on the menu goes to /my-account. I would like to rather access the pop registration for customers and vendors. How do I activate that?

Hi,

If you have the latest version of the theme, simply activate the option from the Theme Panel -> Header Settings ( screen capture: https://i.imgur.com/LDJ3Axp.png )

And then scroll down to this section and enable the Login/Register Popup option: https://i.imgur.com/eXNs50p.png

Best regards!

Hello, I installed the theme to find the slider revolution for the NFT Marketplace theme is missing. It says “Slider with alias saas-product-slider1 not found”. I don’t see the slider file to add manually to slider revolution. How can I get it?

Hi,

Sorry to hear that the NFT slider was not imported. In order to look into the site and see why it was not importer, Please submit a request to our help center (https://modeltheme.com/support/#new-request) and one of our agents will assist you.

You can also ask there for the zip file of the slider.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Does the dashboard support the Arabic language? I mean, can I convert the seller’s dashboard into Arabic?

Hi,

Which marketplace plugin are you interested to use the theme with? The theme is compatible with 4 marketplace plugins so far – see the list.

I have multiple questions.

1. Is it possible to block or blacklist specific users to prevent mischievous bids etc.?

2. Is it possible to set up push notifications when my bid is updated, like ios, android apps, and other PWAs?

3. Is it possible to set the bottom menu like a mobile app?

thank you.

Hi,

1. You can disable at any moment (you being the administrator of the site).

2. By default there is no such option but if you are interested you can hire us to implement this feature. PWA can be enabled with this tool: https://wordpress.org/plugins/pwa/

3. What do you mean?

Hello, presale questions: I see at registration you need to pick if you are a seller or a bidder, i guess that are 2 different types of account. Is it possible to make only 1 type of account which can sell and bid?

Is it possible that new submitted items get approved instantly? Instead of pending approval?

Is it possible that when an auction is over that the item gets hidden from auction pages?

What happens if an auction is over? do contact details get shared with the highest bidder and the seller?

Or

Does the seller receive all the info of each bidder when a bid gets published?

Is the theme compatible with a social plugin like buddypress? So users can send each other messages?

Thank you

Hello? You only answer comments that have not purchased your theme? Can you reply me?

Hi,

1. The ‘vendor’ user role is used to both sell and bid/buy but I do not recommend to only keep this user role because it requires more details on registration and is not necessary for those who only want to buy. So technically yes it is achievable.

Note: Take a look at the demo made with the WCFM Marketplace where you can apply to become a vendor after registration: https://ibid-wcfm.modeltheme.com/

2. Yes, a product auto-approval feature is available.

3. Yes, there is an option to hide-ended auctions.

4. When an auction gets finished, in case someone wins it, both (vendor and the client) will get notified: - customer will get details of the product + a link to pay for the auction. - vendor will get the notification that the auction was won.

- The vendor will get this email notification when a bid is placed: https://i.imgur.com/DIYzQdg.png - Vendors can also see the name of the bidders on the auction history tab (product page)

Best regards!

i really like the ibid auction theme the one thats in white can i use it as woocomerce website. no auction and stuff ?

Hello,

Yes, you can use the theme without the auction functionality, simply do not activate the WooCommerce Simple Auctions plugin.

Regards

i really like the design and wanted to buy but the speed of this webiste is really slow.

Hi there,

Our theme is based on quality images and that’s why the score is not too high at this moment. Please note that now, no caching plugin is enabled on the site.

For now, we relied on the real speed of the website, which is under 3.5 seconds.

In the following days, we will set up the caching and you will be able to also see the scores > +85 on the Google Pagespeed test.

Best regards!

Hi, Can I use Featured Listing for Product Vendors woocomerc plugin, to make some auctions/products featured? Or do you have some advice which plugin would be better to improve ads classification? Tnx

Can I get an answer, this is very dissapointing, i wait for 3 days and still no response. Also i post a question to item support 2 days ago and also there ia no answer… very dissapointing

Hi there,

Sorry for the delay, but we have posted a few days ago this notice in our help desk https://i.imgur.com/GqpBxHT.png . Now we are back online and will process all of the tickets.

On the featured products, yes you can setup a product to be featured and this is how it works/how you can list the features products:

1. By default, WooCommerce has this shortcode:
[products limit="4" columns="2" visibility="featured" ]
2. It also has a dedicated shortcode only for featured products:
[featured_products]

Read more about woocommerce shortcodes: https://woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-shortcodes/

Thank you for the patience and sorry for the inconveniences.
