If you integrate this with the tournament system, it will be the best thing I’ve ever seen!

Hi THEfUm3, thanks! Sadly we don’t have plans for that.

My members can’t login to “users” and “edit profile field”. I can login as admin, but my users can’t. The page is constantly loading. What should we do?

Hi, can I submit / manage post (blog) from frontend?

Sorry, but no, the theme’s 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.

Be sure to check out our FAQs section inside the theme where you can find this and more helpful guides.

Hello, you told me that it was not possible to install a plugin in the theme to report posts, block users… there is this plugin, which you know of its existence, since I have spoken with the developers and they tell me that you have refused to collaborate. I’m talking about the “BSR” plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-toolkit/). I’m sorry but I want the refund, it’s a nice theme but it’s not functional. For this to be accepted on platforms like apple and google. The theme must be compatible with these types of plugins. Thank you.

Hi nax1to, we are aware of that plugin and we spoke with their dev team and we didn’t refused to collaborate as you say. In fact, we provided them with a copy of our theme so they could work to see if they could somehow integrate it with the theme as we couldn’t because the parts of the application that are affected by it are inside React applications within the theme which makes this a really big job. Due to recent events (pandemic) our team got smaller and it’s already stretched thin which is why we can’t allocate resources only for this integration as it will take a really long time. Please open a support ticket so we can give you more info about this. Best Regards!

I have done everything & everything is ok but I cant receive activate account email and i should manually activate users please help me what should i do

Hi, Pre-sales question, 1) is it possible for users to post stories? Or do you recommend a plugin for it? 2) Also, when I examined the site, I could not see a way to social share, so it is not possible to share any post on different platforms? Or invite our friends to our site?

3) Is there a way to moderate posts as well? Like blocking obscene content.

Hi feghshf, sadly, the theme doesn’t have plugin integration for the features that you’re mentioning. Please keep in mind that 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. You can find a list of theme compatible plugins / features here: https://odindesignthemes.com/vikinger-theme-landing/#plugins

If a plugin is not explicitly listed there, then it hasn’t been tested with the theme and we can’t ensure it will be compatible.

Best Regards

Hello! Very, very nice theme! Question for you:

I understand that the Moderation issue has been ongoing for over a year or so, and that there are custom elements to the theme (React) and other issues.

Question: How easy would it be then just to add a simple “report” button next to each piece of content that then links to a direct message to the admin? This would at least be a good step in the right direction.

Secondarily, if you could add the same button maybe next to a user and/or private messages, this would be a very easy “substitute” for a block button and a report button. May be even a few lines of code?

This would be awesome! It would enable me to buy the plugin! Thanks very much in advance?

Finally, do you happen to know any simple plugins where they will work, but it just will not look good? For example, we add the buttons in strange places, but the plugins will work for moderation? I think honestly my suggestion above is the easiest if you can tell me how it would be done.

Thanks again!

Hi zoomsan thanks for your comment! We can’t promise anything, but we’ll send this to our dev team. Best Regards!

Thanks, yes, I think also if you had these options and buttons included, and all of them went to a form or Private Message of Admin, it would be good and easy to implement. Here are the recommended buttons:

1) Report/Flag Users 2) Report/ Flag Content 3) Block User

I may have to buy another theme now, but if you happen to get it done quickly I can wait and maybe buy yours! Basically it is 3 buttons and 3 links to DM the Admin. Any thoughts on if support would let me know how to add 3 buttons like this? It is essentially just 3 links. Thank you!

Sadly we can’t add this quickly as you need it, anyaywa, we’ll talk with the dev team. Best!

Hey Legends – thanks so much for the amazing theme. I was wondering if there is any way to disable some of the notifactions coming onto the main wall page. For instance everytime a member joins a groups or adds someone as a friend it appears in the news feed wall but these notifications are of no use and it removes any conversation the team is having. Especially as we will have 100’s of people on connecting and joining groups and will just clutter everything

Hi mbatrading, thanks! Sadly, BuddyPress doesn’t have an option for that, if you want, you’ll need to customize the code in order to do so. Best Regards!

If you have more questions, please open a ticket here: https://odindesignthemes.ticksy.com/ Thanks!

hello, I purchased the Vikinger – BuddyPress theme, I have a problem on buddypress, the Vikinger Media plugin, it does not upload photos and videos, I see a preview but it does not upload anything, some suggestions thanks

Do you have a pending post feature? I don’t want to have some strangers spam my website. Thank you.

Hi vuminhquan, sorry, but BuddyPress doesn’t have a pending post feature. Regarding pinned post, each member can pin a status update post at the top. You can check this in the live demo. Best Regards

Hi. I asked my friend who bought the theme a few months ago. He said you can only pin it to the top of your timeline’s profile. There are no ways you can pin your post on the newsfeed as an administration. I want to pin my rules on the newsfeed to make sure my community doesn’t post something explicit. But sadly, your theme doesn’t have this option. Hopefully, you can add it soon. I’m willing to buy it if you have this option. Thank you.

sorry, we don’t have plans at the moment, it only has a pin option for profiles.

Hi,

I’ve installed the theme twice on two different pages trying to get this to work. I’m having some problems with the login pages. The main login page is jumbled out of order. I login through the WP or a membership login page but still get logged out automatically whenever I click and go to another page. Not sure what else to try from here.

Splendid theme! 2 Questions/remarks:

1. Does (or will) Vikinger also support the Wordpress Events plugin (as in the Olympus theme)? 2. Is there a way for the Better Messages plugin to be adapted to the theme styling? It is integrated lovely, however when you start using the plugin (e.g. compiling a message and searching for friends) it’s styling is changed to the Better Messages styling, such as Times New Roman font.

Best regards.

Hi robertfichtinger, thanks!!

1- Sadly, no. Please keep in mind that 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. You can find a list of theme compatible plugins / features here: https://odindesignthemes.com/vikinger-theme-landing/#plugins.

If a plugin is not explicitly listed there, then it hasn’t been tested with the theme and we can’t ensure it will be compatible.

2- Sometimes when the Better Messages plugin devs introduce changes, the styling is changed, but we’ll check this with the dev team.

Best Regards

Thank you for the swift response.

1. Too bad, thought that the Olympus theme was somewhat comparable to Vikinger. Will the Wordpress Events plugin be integrated sometime? 2. Well, it mainly is when starting a new conversation. If you start entering letters in the ‘send to’ row, the font is changed to something else. Also, in dark mode, the font in the ‘subject’ row is changed to white. And since subject box has a white background, it can not be seen. It would be best if the boxes would be similar to the ‘message’ box, which is really nice! Also the boxes that come up after sending a message (e.g. warnings) are in the original Better Messages style.

Hi, 1- Sorry, we don’t have plans for this. Best Regards!

Hello,

I am trying to use a few plugins like Block/Report/Suspend for better moderation upon the social community.

I ended up contacting the Plugin Developer and found out that Vikinger theme is the only theme that is unsupported? I was wondering if there is a way you could help me with this?

Hi inscaneyt, please keep in mind that 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. We have talked in the past with the plugin dev to see if there was some way for them to help integrate it to the theme, but there was not possible.

Hi, I follow the steps in your installation videos, but options like the ones in the video do not appear in this section. I followed the same steps as before, but I ran into a problem here, how can I fix it?

https://ibb.co/VB12PJN

This things are determined by BuddyPress, not the theme, you should check directly with them as the theme doesn’t have a users cap.

Hi, how can I make the profile timeline private? I don’t want non-friends to see each other’s timeline. I couldn’t find a solution in the docs.

Sadly BuddyPress doesn’t have that option, it only has the option for private groups.

Hi Odin, I’m going to install Vikinger theme, but first I want to know. Should I install the theme from the original or use the child theme? In the video installation, the installation is done through the main theme, but I assume that there is no child theme because it is a bit old. Should I use the parent theme or child theme now? Kind regards.

Hi metinuygun,

We recommend using the child theme if you plan to customize the theme files / functionality.

Best Regards.

Hi, 1- The created Quests are visible but not on the Quests page. Same goes for Badges and Ranks, I can only view credits on the credits page. 2- How can I customize the header? The normal view of the page is as follows ” https://ibb.co/wYbW5WK ” but I always want it to look like this ” https://ibb.co/R3qHw5V ” but for this it is necessary to zoom out the view of the page but this is not useful for users. 3- I follow the steps in your installation videos, but the options as in the video do not appear in this section. I followed the same steps as before but I ran into a problem here, how can I fix it? https://ibb.co/VB12PJN

Hi, for further questions, open a ticket here: https://odindesignthemes.ticksy.com/ so our team can check this out as support is provided via the ticketing system, not the comments section.

How do I setup subscription payment for users/members of a specific group?

Hi revolution180, we see that you also created a ticket on the support system. Please wait for the support team to reply there. Thanks!

How do I add widgets on the left and right on the activity page? Buddyboss does it, so please dont say it has to be done in the code, due to buddypress…

So far, great design So far, worst theme for customization

So… you cannot tell me how to add left and right widgets to the activity feed. Instead I get some speel about buddyboss?

I looked everywhere and there is no information on how to add those widgets Please, answer my initial question, so I can get on with building my website Thankyou

You got a reply about BuddyBoss because you were making claims that were not true, as we proved in our previous comment. This is important because you can’t compare two different platforms saying “you can’t tell me BuddyPress doesn’t do this because BuddyBoss does” when they don’t even use the same plugin expecting the same features. Regarding your question, yes, as we said before you need to customize the code in order to change/add widgets, you can find them inside “vikinger/buddypress/activity/index.php” (that’s the file you need to edit)

I will disregard the first 4 -1/2 lines of text as its not support but berating me As for the other 2 -1/2 lines of text, thanks for the reply

Good Day,

It is increasingly difficult to install this theme. Even after paying Envato to do it. Now I cannot install the Elementor Kit because I don’t have authorization.

Hi Debrab-, where did you payed Envato to install the theme?

Impossible to Install this template, any time that i upload the theme, start installing and them stop with this message: The package could not be installed. The Theme is missing style.css stylesheet. Theme Installation failed

i can not even install the theme, what i should to do ?

Hi hasslefreecargo, from what you are saying, it seems that you are trying to install the wrong zip file. You need to use the Installable WordPress file only. Check this tutorial: https://www.envato.com/blog/install-themeforest-wordpress-theme/ Keep in mind that over 970 people were already able to install it and you get the same files as everyone else, so it’s not impossible. Best Regards
