How does the schedule test drive feature work? Does it just send an email or is there a section in the dealer account showing all messages or test drive requests that are received?
Is there location taxonomy i.e. you can have vehicles in different city/locations?
Hello,
It just sends a notification to the site admin to the back-end WordPress dashboard > Listings > Test drives, The form doesn’t include extra functions by default
Cheers
So it only sends a notificaton to the admin? What about the actual dealer/seller. Do they not receive any emails or notifications? Doesnt make sense.
What about the location i asked about.
Is there location taxonomy i.e. you can have vehicles in different city/locations?
The test drive sends the notification only to the back-end for the site admin. Admin can notify the dealer by phone call or other methods. According to the locations, for single listings you can set locations, you can check for example >>> https://motors.stylemixthemes.com/classified/inventory/?min_mileage=0&max_mileage=5000000&ca_location=Manchester%2C+UK&stm_lat=53.4807593&stm_lng=-2.2426305&max_search_radius=50&sort_order=distance_nearby&min_price=5000&max_price=300000

There is no pagination for modern inventory style and items in user/dealer inventory. Looong scroll doesn’t look cool.
Hello,
Could you send us an example link from our live preview demo? We will check the link and provide you with a solution. Thank you in advance!
Cheers
Both of these do not have pagination
https://motors.stylemixthemes.com/classified/modern-inventory/ https://motors.stylemixthemes.com/classified/author/trader/Thank you for the details, we do appreciate it! This is how the Modern filter element works in general >>> https://motors.stylemixthemes.com/classified/modern-inventory/ as the element connects with ajax functions and all the listings display without pagination. In the second link, there is no pagination, while the page includes the “show more” button, which is according to the theme default design concept for dealers’ public page
Cheers
Very critical” Pay per listings are not showing on dealers’ dashboard. All pay-per-listing items not showing on dealer dashboard inventory https://prnt.sc/0PRJoLHrTgZ- They only show on front-end inventory but not on dealers’ dashboard inventory. They do not appear there at all. They show on front end inventory
Hello, thank you for such an epic theme. Can you please add Instagram as a social link option for dealers. I see twitter, youtube, etc but no Instagram. Also I see Whatsapp as a contact method. Can you add LINE also for those in other Asia? Thank you so much
Hello,
You are welcome and thank you to you too!

hi,
The critical error on stm post type plugin seems to have been fixed with the WP 6.1.1 release?
Hello,
The latest version of the theme and pre-packed plugins do not have restrictions with the updated WordPress.
Cheers
Hi. I would like to use this theme for a woocommerce site that 90% of the products will be automobile paint. Our current theme uses a plugin where the user selects a make/model/year and is shown the product (which has variations based on another plugin). Can I use your theme mostly “out of the box” or will there need to be major customization because we aren’t selling/renting cars but associated “parts”. Thank you.
Hello,
We have different demo layouts in our theme. For example, for selling Parts, we have the Motors Auto Parts demo layout, in this demo layout, there is no need to use an extra third-party plugin, when you will install the theme and this demo layout, the demo import will automatically install all the needed plugins. You can check the live preview for the Motors Auto Parts demo layout from here >>> https://motors.stylemixthemes.com/auto-parts/

Hi,
I would like to have dealers and private seller with dealers having their own dealership page showing all of their inventory.
Couple of questions relating to this:
1. Is this possible to not charge dealers for positing or them having premium accounts but charge private sellers?
2. I would like to work with dealerships on a commission basis. For this we/admin would need to know who and how many customers contacted them, scheduled a test drive, sent a message etc so we can do a follow up? We would also want to call and remind people about their scheduled test drives.
3. Is it possible to force people to register/sign up to schedule test drive or reveal seller contact numbers or send them messages.
4. Can url slugs be customized from domain.com/author/name to domain.com/dealer-name?
5. Filtering dealers inventory for users and dealers. Is there option to fiter/search for a specific inventory item based on id or search term on dealers page or for Dealers on their dashboard inventory section. As a dealer may have over a 100 cars and to find a specific one may be time consuming.
Design Issues noticed:
1. The popups dont have a clear close button such as schedule test drive. Not everyone may know that you have to click anywhere else to close.
2. Is it possible to collapse filters on mobile view as on mobile when load the inventory section you have scroll 2 pages worth or filtering and search options before you even see any cars.
Hello,
1. Yes, you can set limits in the theme options for the dealers and simple sellers without using membership plans. For details >>> https://docs.stylemixthemes.com/motors-theme-documentation/theme-options/user-dealer
2. The test drive form is included in the Dealership demo layout, you can check it here >>> https://motors.stylemixthemes.com/listings/2016-mercedes-benz-c-class-c300-4matic/ and in Classified demos >>> https://motors.stylemixthemes.com/classified/listings/bmw-m5/. Screenshot >>> http://joxi.ru/YmEL05acG5dp6r
3. There is no such kind of function by default, as users are able to test drive without registrations
4. This slug couldn’t be changed by default
5. This kind of filter isn’t available. As stock numbers are unique and relate to the listings on the website. So it doesn’t make sense to have a search filter based on a stock number. Since website visitors simply do not know the stock numbers of your listings
According to the design suggestion
1,2. Thank you for your feedback we do appreciate it. We recommend you to write this kind of suggestion in our special requests section of the Motors theme >>> https://stylemixthemes.cnflx.io/boards/motors-car-dealer-rental-classifieds. We will improve features/options.design according to the popularity of the requests from our dear customers
All the best!

Hello, I would love to buy this templat but since it ’s for a luxury rental car website I do not need to have the Search inventory(home page) or Search Options in invetory grid page. Is this something I can take out easily? Thank you for your response. Laurent
Hello,
Yes, you can remove the searching elements from the pages as the theme uses page builder plugins like WP Bakery and Elementor (not all demos). For details, we recommend you check the theme documentation as well >>> https://docs.stylemixthemes.com/motors-theme-documentation/

Hi, i realize that after i fixed the wordpress fatal error the latest version theme – Car Rental date reservation got some bug. The timestamp suppose to be in 24 hours format, but after you select the time e.g. 1500, it end up always show 0300 (back to 12 hrs format). This confused our customer alot…Can you please advise the fix? or release a fix for the timestamp format issue?
Hello,
Could you please kindly clarify the case in a bit more detail with screenshots or video recording as well? We will check it with our QA managers on our testing environments as well. Thank you in advance!

Hi, Here is video i recorded on your demo site: https://www.loom.com/share/fe6fdf3dd49548b18eba7e9f803f1089
Not sure why the pickup time can’t be select… even you can select, the date is actually showing the wrong timing. e.g if i select 1400, it will display 0200 which user will think that is 2am in the morning instead of 2pm
Thank you for the provided video, we do appreciate your kind diligence! Please, make sure that you selected the time, that is not passed, as passed time couldn’t be selected by default for the current day
Cheers
hi, please see the drop off time that i tested. I am aware that the pickup time need to be future time and that the reason why i can’t select the timing in the demo. However, after i selected the timing for the drop off time the format changed to 12 hours format. It SUPPOSE TO SHOW 24 HOURS format. For EXAMPLE: if i select 1400, it should display 1400 on the dropdown box BUT instead of showing 1400, it display 0200 instead which user will think that is 2am in the morning instead of 2pm! Can you guys please look into this issue??
The am/pm format is a default formal in general. You can change it directly from the WordPress settings. For example >>> http://joxi.ru/n2YGVJaIkE04or and >>> http://joxi.ru/5mdw39YuqGJPpr

Hello,
By default, the theme includes sharing feature >>> https://docs.stylemixthemes.com/motors-theme-documentation/theme-options/single-listing#show-share-block.

Location taxonomy. This theme is lacking “Location” taxonomy which is very crucial for SEO. Can we have location and sub-location taxonomy for this theme please in your next update? We need to optimize locations for SEO. Location taxonomy is key please. e.g someone searching ” Cars For Sale in New York” then we can map location with sub-location the same way categories have subcategories. This is needed ASAP, please. I need to optimize locations just like categories for SEO

Hi, i had requested a refund which didnt go through, thats owk, but how come the theme is not available in the downloads? the theme is bringing errors in the client site
Hello,
The system displays that you didn’t purchase the item. Make sure that you are using the same Envato account that you used while purchasing the theme
Cheers
i am using the same account
please also view ticket #Z33307, how did you solve this ticket if i did not purchase from this account?
The Envato system displays that you do not have the item, have you changed your password or nickname here? Also, we recommend you contact Envato support directly >>> https://help.market.envato.com/hc/en-us
Cheers
Hello..
I haven’t receive any refund that you “supposedly agreed” i found that this is some common treat that you handle to me, I request a customization that was a total failure and now the refund has never been received. I need some facts.
Thank you.
I just start a ticket with envato…. i will escalate this… 12 oct and i haven’t receive any refund and as far as i didn’t receive y will keep posting my case here.
Hello,
From our side, we have provided the refund for the theme to you a month ago. We have replied to your email as well with the screenshot. Gently note the fact, that the comments section is for the theme pre-sale questions and not part of the refund discussions

Hi, i want to buy the theme but i looked everywhere and i don’t see if it has registration for Pro sellers and Private sellers! Pro sellers need to provide VAT information! And another thing which i think is the most important part, i don’t see if this theme has the pay to Bump-up listings! I think you should work a little more on the monetization part because that’s how we earn money! Thanks
Hello,
In the Classified demo layouts, there are three user types by default. They are admins, simple sellers (users), and dealers. For more information about the user roles, please check the following link >>>> https://docs.stylemixthemes.com/motors-theme-documentation/classified-layout-features/classified-users
Listings can be set as featured via purchasing. If the user wants to set his listing as featured he will need to pay an extra fee. You as admin of the site can set the “Enable Paid Featured listing” option under the Theme options > user dealer > paid featured listing section, there you can set the price as well. Moreover, you can make a listing as featured by enabling/disabling the Special offer option under the Listing manager > Specials section of the backend of a single listing. For more >>> https://docs.stylemixthemes.com/motors-theme-documentation/theme-options/user-dealer/payed-featured-listing
According to the monetization, could you please provide more details and examples? So we will try to integrate it in the future if it will be really must-have feature for our theme. Thank you in advance!
Cheers
Hi, thanks for your reply! What i mean by registration for pro sellers i mean having two different type of registration forms! One for private seller and one for professionals! Pros has to provide legal info about his company while registering! Your system is build to switch from regular user to pro seller which is not ideal! It’s too much work which could be eliminated very easily by adding a few extra fields on the registration form! Regarding the monetization methods, there’s Bump-Up method which adds the listing to the top of the list only once after the seller has paid! Then there’s the sticky feature which pins the Ad to the top for a specified period of time! And then there’s the Featured feature, the one you have on your theme which is the least effective one! Check the Classiads theme, it has this system! I hope you listen to your clients because i saw multiple requests for the same features! Thanks
Thank you for the provided feedback and suggestions, we do appreciate your kind diligence! There is no different login/register for the users in the theme by default. We will try to include it, if we will have more such kind of suggestions from our dear users. According to the paid feature options, in the theme by default, the admin can set featured listing for extra payment >>> https://docs.stylemixthemes.com/motors-theme-documentation/theme-options/user-dealer/payed-featured-listing

I thought I was the only one who had problems with the theme, it is exhausting the continuous updates on the site that in most cases generate problems with the site. I have to be constantly correcting is a shame. then there is the issue of support 4 days to answer you and you just get dizzy. If you are about to decide to buy this theme do not do it you will gain quality of life.

There is what looks like default language, “Cars for sale” when using the STM Classic Filter… I want to change that text to something else – how do I do that?
Hello,
You can change the default title under the theme options >>> inventory settings >>> main section >>> http://joxi.ru/Grq39aXUzPgeP2
Cheers
that image link didn’t work but I went into the Theme options -> Inventory Settings -> Main Section… and it already says “Inventory” but on the home page it says “Cars for Sale” for the Filter title and there is no setting for that STM Classic Filter title.
After the update, user/dealer profile no longer showing two columns of posted items (Subscription ads and paid on posting ads). Its just one column with the heading “inventory” can’t e have the previous style back
Hello,
Could you gently re-clarify in a bit more details? The Profile page should display by default as the following >>> http://joxi.ru/BA0gWY0h1neEV2 and http://joxi.ru/Rmz8VyxCvPoaQA
Cheers
Before update there were two tabs. one time included items posted with the subscription and another tab items posted on instant pay/free
Do you have a screenshot? It is still not clear
Cheers
At the moment I do not have a screenshot of the two tabs because I updated the theme. If you want to see this please roll back your theme to previous versions. Inventory on user/dealer profile had two columns for the listings; first column had instantly/free listing, second column had listings posted with subscription package. Now these columns can not be seen. You can not know listings paid during posting and subscription listings https://prnt.sc/YSMSquf4Q1Cc
Thank you for the provided details, we do appreciate your kind diligence. We have sent the testing case to our QA department directly, we will let you know of any progress as soon as we will get any information
All the best!
Tabs for “Pay Per Listing” listing and “subscription” listings on user/dealer profile are no longer there after you updated the theme. Can we have these back?
We have sent the case to our developer’s roadmap, the needed fix will be included in the coming updates as soon as possible
Cheers
