Hi I like the design but I’m not sure if its just a basic design theme or does the theme have its own features like other themes

I was also wondering

1. does this support and comes with youzer, fully youzer compatible ?

2. Will you be adding more designs, customizations?

3. Would you be adding features like Live chat, Private massaging, Contact, Events, Memberships, ads, Blocking/Banning, find people near you

4. any thoughts on adding major features Classifieds, Jobs, directory’s, shop similar to this theme https://themeforest.net/item/beehive-social-network-wordpress-theme/25508914 https://themeforest.net/item/adifier-classified-ads-wordpress-theme/21633950

or is it possible to just integrated the classifieds theme ?

6. will you be adding more advanced setting

7. What is the difference between olympus and vikinger ? Do both have the same features ? Profile Features ,Youzer Integration, Social Features, Illustrations, Reviews ?

8. can the features be enabled and disabled, example starting out i would only want 1 – 2 features

also which plugins are included

Thanks for the reply, 1. The 2 themes seam similar, What are the differences between this and Olympus Do both have the same features ? 2. Would you be adding any of the features in the future ? 3. Youzer what are the benefits of having Youzer and why don’t you inc it with this theme ? 4. would it be possible to intergrade 2 themes and get them to work together ? 5. does this theme have the option to enable and disable features ? does this theme have features Live chat, Private massaging, Contact,

6. is this theme compatible with Events, Memberships, ads, Blocking/Banning, plugins ?

also just noticed the two themes are developed by different teams I thought it was the same due to the Olympus PSD

No, the theme is not compatible with thos plugins and we don’t have plans to add the features you mentioned. Yes, Olympus and this one are themes developed by different users. That’s why we mentioned that you should ask in the comment’s section of the item, because the developers will be able to tell you more. Vikinger doesn’t have Youzer because of the really custom design that it’s not really compatible with the plugin. Youzer has more integration and compatibility with other plugins. That’s why we said that you should check the Olympus one. Best Regards

Hi AKGT, for demo of Olympus, you need to ask Crumina https://themeforest.net/item/olympus-responsive-community-social-network-wordpress-theme/22788499 , we don’t have admin demo of Vikinger. HTML is non-functional. The Vikinger theme already reached it’s intended final stage, we don’t have any major updates planned. This is why, as we mentioned before, we don’t recommend you this theme.

hi there, is there a way for community members/admins to upload and view documents on a tab?

Hi Squadgoals93 sorry, but there’s no option for file upload, only video/images. Best Regards!

Hello there,

I have a question about the groups. Is it possible for a group leader to post a message / video / image directly into the (group) timeline from the front-end?

Hi halfhide! Sorrry, we don’t understand what you mean by that, but if you send us a DM through our profile page https://themeforest.net/user/odin_design so we can send you some login credentials and link to the test demo so you can try it out. Best Regards!

Sorry, the theme doesn’t have an admin panel demo.

Suggestions

1.Would be good to have a homepage landing/login page that isnt locked to the wp-login url and can be used as the homepage thus can be indexed by google. wp login and wp register pages have meta robot noindex inserted in them so this isnt ideal if you are wanting to the login page as the homepage for looged out users like most social networks have.

For example something similar to the old landing page but redirects and is inaccessible to logged in users once a user is signed in.

2.Also option to make homepage or certain pages inaccessible to users once logged in. Because it doesnt make any sense having a page telling people why they should sign up once they have already logged in.

3.Also if your website title is too long on the login page it can break the styling and not look right. And there are issue with certain sized logos on the login page as well with text overlapping the logo.

Hope you consider these suggestions because they are the only things I think this theme is missing to be a really great community theme.

Hi marcush90, thanks! We can’t promise anything, but we’ll pass this to our dev team. Best Regards!

How is User Moderation for the this coming about? Without it, users post unnecessary and explicit content which certainly pulls down a community. You may have decided to postpone this, but you have to develop and launch it because:

- It is the very thing that helped Social Communities like Reddit, Facebook and Quora thrive.

- It is the foundation of representation in communities and networks.

- Many of your customers have demanded for this.

Thank you.

Hi Oranra, sorry, but as we mentioned many times before in your other comments, we tried with several moderation plugins, but sadly, due to the really custom design of the theme (plus, the React elements) they don’t fully integrate. For now this won’t change. We also mentioned that other features that you asked for won’t be added to the theme, that’s why we said that we don’t recommend you this theme and recommend you checking other ones https://themeforest.net/popular_item/by_category?category=wordpress%2Fbuddypress . We ask you to please stop spamming the comments section asking for this.

Hello, i love vikinger. unfortunately i can’t get on with installing the landing page. every time i want to load the landing page template into the elementor there is “an error” and i can only press “ok” and nothing happens :( can you maybe help me?

Hi,

How can I change the size of the menu header? I want it to be smaller. And in general, where to change size og stuff?

Hi Andfer89, thanks for your purchase! For changing individual size stuff, you’d need to directly customize the code of the element in order to achieve it.

Hi,

I tried to use the buddypress moderation pro plugin to let the users flag content, members & groups. However there is no way to display these buttons on the frontend. I contacted the buddypress support and they said I should ask the theme developer for assistant (its working with another theme). I really need this for my community and I don’t want to change the theme, yours is the best I found. Maybe you can help me with the installation. Or is there any other plugin that is compatible with the theme? Thank you for your help.

BR Luca

Hi Luca, thanks for your purchase! We tried with several moderation plugins, but sadly, due to the really custom design of the theme (plus, the React elements) they don’t fully integrate. For now the theme doesn’t have compatibility with any of them. For now, people are “reporting” things sending a message to the site admin via the theme chat, and we added for the admin to have the capability to edit or delete any post. Best Regards!

Hi there, I’m setting up our theme and need to know a few things to finish it off:

1 – The loading screen – how can I set the background colour? Can I remove the other words and just have the logo showing? 2 – When users are logged in and on the ‘Groups’ ‘Blogs’ or ‘forums’ pages – how can I make it so that they can create a ‘New Group’ ‘New Blog’ and ‘New Forum’ directly from each page? For example, I can see where to go into the profile settings to add a new group, but can there be a button on the Groups page? 3 – Forums – what is the difference between ‘private’ and ‘hidden’ ? 4 – The landing page and app loading speed is quite slow. Can you give me some tips on how we can increase the loading performance alot? I have a developer helping me, can you please give us suggestions? 5 – When a new user signs up, I want them to be a ‘friend’ of our admin user. How can we develop this to make the user a friend by default on sign up?

Appreciate your help, thanks, Ben.

Hello, I want change Vikinger for WP for Vikinger HTML. It is possible please? I dont want money back, its ok. Thank you!

Hi grmajkl sorry, but Envato’s system doesn’t allow for exchanges between items. If you haven’t downloaded it yet, you can ask for a refund, but only if the item hasn’t been downloaded. Please keep in mind that they are 2 different versions. Best Regards!

Hi, I’m interested in this theme but I don’t care about the BuddyPress or GamniPress functions. Is it possible to use this theme without installing those plugins? Or installing them but not using their features? Can I make custom pages (llike with Elementor or the like) that don’t require the use of those plugins? I only care for the design of the theme.

Hi lolyeah, sorry, but BuddyPress and GamiPress are the core features of the theme. If you are looking for a theme without that, we don’t recommend you this theme, because, for example, BuddyPress pages can’t be customized with Elementor.

Hello Friend! Is your team Russian-speaking? Is there technical support in Russian here? I see that you have “Marina Valentine” in your team, I think it’s a Russian name.

Hi Myke444, sorry, we don’t speak Russian. Support is only in English.

Hello, my name is Laszlo and I am an expert on Codeable. Could you please make a test site from this (https://themeforest.net/item/vikinger-buddypress-and-gamipress-social-community/28612259)? One of your clients waiting for an answer from us about customization and it would be better for me to check the system from the inside. Thanks in advance! Regards, Laszlo

Hi Laszlo, sadly, we don’t have admin demos/test sites of this theme, only frontend. For this case we recommend checking the buyer’s theme directly or asking them for credentials to check their backend. Best Regards!

Hi, beautiful work and great job on the theme.

I would like to know the size of the header in the different pages so i can design my own. Thanks in advance.

Hi alexisdany, thanks for your purchase and comment! If you are referring to the section top banners, they are divided in two elements, background and the left illustration. Inside the main zip file pack, go to the “Illustrations” -> “Banners” folder where you’ll find PSDs with the Photoshop elements and measurements. Best Regards!

Hello! Is it possible to use this: BP_ENABLE_ROOT_PROFILES … to remove /members/ from the URL so a profile url is: https://site.com/members-name ... it is outlined here: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/how-to-remove-the-word-members-in-the-profile-url-link/

Thank you!

Sadly we can’t say about this because we haven’t tested it. If you’re looking for that, we don’t recommend you the theme as due to it’s really custom design, some things that may work in vanilla BP themes may need further customization in order to make them work. Please keep in mind that due to Envato’s Support rules, customization is not part of support, so the support team won’t be able to help you with this as it falls outside the scope. Best Regards!

Hello! Is it easy to disable and hide the Gamipress features completely? Also, with that, the numbers and colored elements around a users avatar/profile photo? Thanks.

Hi zoomsan!,

Yes, you can use the theme without installing the GamiPress plugin and all plugin related features (badges, quests, ranks, points) will not be displayed / available (user avatars won’t display rank information).

Best Regards.

I am vikinger user. I don’t know how to load the chat in the simplebar section. Can you help me?

We are not seeing the purchased tag with your username, are you in the right item? For future reference, please post with the purchase account.

Hello,

Working on our purchased vikinger theme, we found out that there is a notice within the user registration page.

More specifically, the notice is:

Profile Details

Notice: bp_has_profile() was called incorrectly. The argument of this function into your custom `members/register.php` template should be bp_xprofile_signup_args() Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 8.0.0.) in /var/www/html/web/wp/wp-includes/functions.php on line 5663

Additionally, on the same page there is the following notice as well: Notice: Undefined variable: user_id in /var/www/html/web/app/plugins/vikinger-buddypress-extension/loader.php on line 42

Please advise.

Thanks
