Hi,

I would like to know if and when you plan to release a new version of the theme. Recently, our website has had some technical problems and this is what our hosting manager reports to us:

“Dear Customer, I inform you that the G5Plus Auteur theme is generating errors. I have restarted the environment, at the moment the site seems to work correctly, however the problem may appear again. Even if you update to the latest version, the theme may not be fully compatible with the other components as the release of the latter (v 6.5) dates back to May”.

Thank you.

What exactly problem you had? send screenshot or video here to check. Thanks

I can’t say exactly because we asked assistance to hosting manager for other reasons (server problems) so I can’t tell you what they’re referring to.

But in php log error there were a lot of error strings about Auteur theme. Some examples:

WARNING: [pool www.mywebsite.com] child 57 said into stderr: “[04-Oct-2023 14:00:01 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Object of class WP_Error could not be converted to string in /web/htdocs/www.mywebsite.com/home/wp/wp-content/themes/g5plus-auteur/templates/woocommerce/loop/product-author.php:12”

And much more!

Sorry but with your information, I don’t know exactly what happened. Please create ticket on our help desk and leave private information there, I will check directly. Thanks

Hi Normal search does not find the books. Only Ajax search find. When we type and enter, there is no result. How can I fix it?

Please create ticket on https://sp.g5plus.net , I will check directly because need private information which can’t public here. Thanks

Is the theme fully translatable?

You can use Loco Translate plugin to do it. Very easy. View our guide: https://g5plus.net/knowledge-base/how-to-change-language-in-g5theme-using-loco-translate-plugin/ Thanks

Oh thank you for the info. But i ment the theme in general, if it is easy to use. Sorry for the misunderstanding

Yes, I said about my theme, very easy to translate, just translate like key and value. Thanks

This theme is an absolute nightmare, at least for beginners and non-experts.

First, I had to negotiate with my domain provider for days to adjust php settings and .htaccess files etc. Which I managed, yay me!

Then I installed the theme – and it completely crashed my site when I tried to import the demo content. It just says ‘fail’ and that’s it. Everything else has been deleted when I tried to import the demo content. Which I wouldn’t have agreed to had I known that the import doesn’t work.

Even Elementor won’t work anymore, nor does the WP Bakery page builder – so I can’t even do a basic fix. It’s a mess.

And the support is not available. Even though I paid for it.

It pains me to say it, but I have no idea where all those great reviews come from. Maybe I’m too much of a noob to get it sorted out. That’s a likely possibility.

But I don’t think it should be that complicated to install a theme. Especially not one that is specifically targeted at authors and writers.

Sorry for any problem you had and replied quite too late at the weekend. I got your ticket on our help desk, please follow there. Thanks

Hi,

I bought your theme in July 2022. Everything was fine until a few days ago. My site has a big problem, nothing is displayed correctly anymore. More than half of it has disappeared. I’ve done the updates, but that doesn’t change anything. Can you tell me what’s going on?

Thank you.

What is url you checking? I take screenshot on your domain support: http://natachawithanovsky.com/ => working normal: https://gyazo.com/4aa48f6992072413ca3ca323737a4198

Hi, How I can change the footer of Prodcut Archive page and remove th page title? there is no such an option in the Theme Option page for product archive page.

Please create ticket on our help desk https://sp.g5plus.net , our support team will check for you. Thanks

Hi, can you tell me when you’ll fix the theme and update the outdated copies of some of the WooCommerce template files?

Can you create ticket on help desk https://sp.g5plus.net to fix faster? If yes, create ticket and leave your account WordPress there, I will check. Thanks

How do I remove Purchase Auteur from the upper right corner in demo?

Hi, you mention this: https://gyazo.com/e2ab9a64aeff0541e04c6cd0904a4664 ? If I’m wrong, please create ticket on our help desk https://sp.g5plus.net for further support. Thanks

Hi, can I safely update the theme from version 4.9 to 6.5. How can I do best? Because 6.5 shows in the Envato Market plugin, but not as the active theme. Thanks, Janneke

Hi, please follow our guide to update latest version here: https://g5plus.net/knowledge-base/how-to-update-theme-to-lastest-version/ For carefully, remember backup all code and database before. Thanks

But the strange thing is, that it is not displayed as an Update. In the Envato Market plugin there is a list of purchased themes and G5Plus Auteur is one of them, I can choose “Install”. As if it is a whole different theme. Not just a new version.

I can’t control Envato Market plugin so please do manual update as our guide above. Sorry but haven’t got other solution in this case. Thanks

Your theme needs more work.

The search bar in the demo is broken. It can show ajax results, but if you click on the lens it gives 404 error.

Also, you should avoid the box “no result founds” if the books linked to the author page are less than 2.

Missing fonts style for mobile. Also, changing fonts for specific elements is frustrating.

And why the price above the title?

And, my personal opinion, too much bloated with stuff: skins, blocks, theme options, elementor. Why not using a simpler approach like GeneratePress? Well probably is not feasible as the framework is on all your themes, so changing it would be a hell of work.

Hi, What is url you tested? and what value you input? I just test on my demo https://auteur.g5plus.net/home-review-book/ => working normal. Thanks

May be plugin sandbox doesn’t work correct, please try with my demo here: https://auteur.g5plus.net/home-review-book/ In case it 404 error and we can’t fix for you => refund no questions, so don’t worry about it. Thanks

Hi guys, great theme. Pre-sales question, unfortunately it does not support rtl as I’ve seen in the comments. but that was from 2 years ago. My question is. 1- is there any chance you added rtl support within these 2 years? 2- If I used WPML will it allow me to overcome that issue? 3- If I purchased the theme can you provide me an rtl.css file

Unfortunately, we don’t do RTL, sorry for that and hope you find another theme fit your project. Thanks

what about the 2nd question: If I used WPML will it allow me to overcome that issue?

WPML use for language, not for RTL so can’t fix it. Thanks

Can I create publisher options ? like Authors ?

I’m not sure it can work or not, but it will lost when update my theme in the future. Please try the best as you can. Thanks

more peoples need that options . next time include that features

Elementor pro comes prepackaged, from where can i get the key for activating it

I need help regarding the product page, after disabling book previewer plugin I added more than 5 images for some products and there is nothing in image thumbnail carousel section that shows that we have more images of that product (like an arrow or something that points out that we have more images of product, or you can drag to see more). I know that we can drag but there is nothing that points out that.

Elementor Page Builder Supported?

I cant work with WPBakery Page Builder.

Yes, you can use Elementor version.

already buy this theme in my another account. now how can i import elementor template ?

You have to re-install demo data or build scratch with Elementor. Thanks

Be very carefull. For ‘Auteur Theme’, they don’t specify that you need very particular conditions to be able to install the theme demo, in this case : php_value max_execution_time 300, which many Web hosts refuse (They don’t accept more than 165 sec.).

So you spend $60 for nothing usable. Very disappointing! :((

Hi, Sorry for any inconvenience you had. This setting to use Install Demo Data only to prevent re-do because timeout or internet interup. Our theme done import 40/545 records: https://gyazo.com/4ed7354248bf88acf5aff36edd215655 , but seems your server/hosting restrict many requests at the same time => can’t done. Thanks

Hi,

i have purchased your product but want to install on my local laptop to start and test before i upload on live domain.

How can i create a ticket for few helping issues?

You can create ticket normal, but should tell us your domain because we just support 1 domain/1 license. Thanks

Presale Q: Is there option to turn off woocomerce and have listing of books but only with external links to sellers? Thx

Hi, Thanks for your interest my theme. You mean: turn off view cart, checkout page, and when click to link product => go to external link? Our theme base on WooCommerce to listing and single layout => need have it. But with your require above => we can help you to do that easy when purchased my theme and create ticket on our help desk https://sp.g5plus.net Don’t worry, if I can’t do for you, I will refund no questions. Thanks
