This is a malfunction, not support request, so please respond.
Hello,
We have a compatibility issue with an installed plugin (Easy Digital Download). We already contacted them, they make a series of verification and their conclusion is that the theme does interfere with the plugin. We make some tests with WordPress’ default theme and everything was OK. So, probably the theme blocks some plugin’s functions.
We already updated the theme to last version. Please advise.
Best regards!
Hi,
Please note that, under the item support policy, we are obliged to keep the theme compatible with the plugins that come packaged with the theme. Easy Digital Download is not one of them.
It is impossible to ensure the compatibility with all plugins in the market.
This does not mean that we can try to resolve your issue, but you will have to provide some additional details and to keep in mind that the only one who have enough knowledge about inner workings of the said plugin are its authors.
Kind regards,

This is for Bold News Plugin v1.6.0. Update hook for bt_load_plugin_textdomain
Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the bt_plugin domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later. (This message was added in version 6.7.0.)
Just wanted to call out changes in 6.7 to how translations are loaded.
For more information you can check the https://make.wordpress.org/core/2024/10/21/i18n-improvements-6-7/ URL.
Hi,
We have release version 1.6.1 which resolves the issue.

Cant do that.
Hi,
As we can not recreate the issue in our local environment and none of the other users experience similar issue, it is probably related to your specific setup in some way.
Unfortunately, without taking a closer look at your WP instance, we are unable to help

Hello, Can the theme be edited with Elementor? What plugins are included in the theme?
Thank you?
Hi,
Thanks for contacting us.
Bold News theme is not compatible with Elementor, you need to use Bold Page Builder with it.
The theme comes with Bold Page Builder and its customized elements suited for the Theme Demos.
Kind regards,
BoldThemes team
looking to buy these theme, however I see an error in the demo (About Us Page) – https://bold-news.bold-themes.com/main-demo/about-us/,
Notice: Undefined index: HTTP_USER_AGENT in /home/customer/www/bold-news.bold-themes.com/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bold-news/bold-news.php on line 683/ @admin, you may want to investigate this.
for that reason, I am out. I will check back in a few months.
Strange, we do not see it. Thanks, anyway.
You’ve got some deprecated code in the Framework when running PHP >= 8.2.
``` PHP Deprecated: Optional parameter $post_type declared before required parameter $sticky_arr is implicitly treated as a required parameter in /var/www/html/wp-content/themes/bold-news/php/before_framework.php on line 1525
```
Hi,
Thanks for the heads up, we have escalated the issue to our developers.
They will release a theme update in next few days – anyhow, as soon as we get some feedback and additional info, we will let you know (most likely by the end of the day tomorrow).
Kind regards,
BoldThemes team
Thank you. I wanted to also notify you of a possible jQuery deprecation error in `bold-news/framework/js/misc.js:180`.
`$( window ).load(function() {` should be updated to `$( window ).on(‘load’, function() {` See https://stackoverflow.com/a/37915907
Hi,
Please note that the theme update has been released with both changes.

On how many domains can we install this theme?
Hi,
Thanks for contacting us.
Regular license allows you to use the theme for one projects on one domain – https://themeforest.net/licenses/faq
Kind regards,
BoldThemes team
I have purchased a lot of themes, more than 90% of them run on multiple domains with regular license.
Hi,
If you have used the themes from ThemeForest that way, you have not been using your licenses in line with the license agreement.
Please note that we are not the ones who set the rules on the ThemeForest market. For all additional info, please contact Envato directly – https://help.market.envato.com/hc/en-us
Thanks for understanding.

Hi, can this theme be used without Wordpress, as a HTML site template?
Hi,
Thanks for contacting us.
No, unfortunately Bold News is available only in form of WordPress theme 
Kind regards,

That’s disappointing. But thanks for the reply!
Hello.
Sorry for bothering you but I have problems with installing demo data in my theme I have bought from you. The error is:
JSON.parse: unexpected end of data at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data
Any ideas what can I do to get the demo I want. The desired demo I want is:
https://bold-news.bold-themes.com/main-demo/home/bold-news-v3/Would be great to help me our with this. Can not start to work on the website that way. If you need any access, please let me know.
All the best,
Hi,
Based on your description, it seems that your server returns an error instead of json response in the process of import.
Best option is to inspect server php error logs and check the error message there
Other option is to open the network panel or javascript console in Chrome developer tools and check the Error message returned from the server – it should indicate the cause of the error.
Kind regards,
BoldThemes team
Hello.
Many thanks for your answer.
Non of the following display as an message. Do you think changing hosting could give better result. Just need to import the demo and start using your theme as it is, with all the demo data.
Any suggestions will be more than welcome here.
Thanks in advance.
All the best,
Hi,
Without resolving the issue, it is impossible to import the demo, so the best option is to check with the hosting where you can catch the exception you are getting.
Kind regards,
BoldThemes team
Hello,
I wrote to my host, hope it’s this. Will try to another one and let you know. Many thanks to your. 
Hi, I noticed that by updating the version of WordPress to the latest version 3.6.1 the theme causes out of memory problems and everything breaks, in fact then trying to add the basic WordPress theme works but not with Bold News.
Hi,
It seems that you are running an outdated version of the theme.
Please update the theme to the latest version – 1.5.4 https://documentation.bold-themes.com/changelog/bold-news-changelog.txt
Please make sure to update the Bold News plugin and Bold builder plugin as well once you update the theme.
You can update the theme as described in the following article: https://boldthemes.ticksy.com/article/7123/
Kind regards,
BoldThemes team
thank you very much, I don’t know why wordpress no longer presented me with theme updates. Alright!
Hi,
In general notifications for updates for themes from ThemeForest are not visible by default in the wp-admin interface. If you wish to see them the same way as for the themes and plugins from WordPress.org you need to use https://www.envato.com/lp/market-plugin/

HI Team,
We are facing issue with header element section. We page loads a large white element stay for 4 5 sec or more. Attaching the Screenshot
https://ibb.co/RNVp9g0Hi,
Can you please send us the the url of the page so we can take a closer look at the issue?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
It seems that third party plugin (based on the loaded JS files, our assumption is AMP stories related) delays the initialization of the header.
For some reason JS it uses is not combined together into the JS generated by your caching plugin but loaded from third party server.
Try deactivating the plugin or speeding up its initialization and check if it resolves the issue.
Kind regards,
BoldThemes teams
Hi I am using Litespeed Caching plugin. I deactivated that and check issue still persist.
Hi,
The problem is not with the Litespeed. The Litespeed speeds up the site correctly and significantly. The problem seems to be with the Javascript files related to AMP which are loaded from https://cdn.ampproject.org/
Kind regards,
BoldThemes team
Just to give a little context.
The menu initializes on document ready JavaScript event. This means that the menu will not be visible until the Dom is ready for JavaScript – http://learn.jquery.com/using-jquery-core/document-ready/
It is done using init_menu() function (in framework/js/header.misc.js)
I deactivated the AMP plugin and checked. Still, it’s same
Do you have any fix?
Unfortunately, we have no other ideas nor a fix 
I tried checking disabling all plugings, I think its bold Builder which causing dealy in loading the footer.
Hi,
Unfortunately, we do not have a solution for your issue

Hi Team,
On every post category Archive is coming after the name of the category. I would like to remove that. Please check the image. https://ibb.co/5TCb0d2Hi,
Can you please provide an url of the page so we can take a closer look at it?
Kind regards,

Hi,
Are you using some kind of SEO plugin such as YOAST or similar, as this does not seem as the default theme’s way of displaying the title?
By default, Bold News displays:
Category: Fitness
in this case as it displays the output of the WP’s get_the_archive_title() function -https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_the_archive_title/
The other option is that the default header template is overridden in the child theme.
Kind regards,
BoldThemes team
Thanks, Fixed. Appriciate your help.
Hi, I have a few questions/doubts.
1) I want to build an archive page like https://bold-news.bold-themes.com/main-demo/blog/post-tiles-three-columns/ this demo page.
2) Where are the settings for Breadcrumbs?
3) Is there any option to display related items more than 3?
Hi,
1. The grid layout (element) can not be set for the archive pages – grid layout can be used only on static pages as a static page element.
2. There are no settings for breadcrumbs, but if you wish to customize them, you can override the boldthemes_breadcrumbs function in your child theme. You can find the boldthemes_breadcrumbs function in theme’s php/before_framework.php, line 743
3. No, not out of the box. but you can also override the default number of related posts in boldthemes_get_related_posts function in your child theme. You can find the boldthemes_get_related_posts in theme’s framework/boldthemes_functions.php. The second input parameter, $num has a default value of 3.
Kind regards,
BoldThemes team
Thanks, Is there any function to get subcategories too? If I have a parent with 3 children current function is showing the last output.
Hi,
Is the question related to the breadcrumbs or the related posts?
Kind regards,
BoldThemes team
This is for breadcrumbs.
Hi,
There is a function boldthemes_get_post_categories in the framework/boldthemes_functions.php .
You can override it in your child theme as well or in your own implementation of boldthemes_breadcrumbs pass to it an array argument of categories you wish it to build the breadcrumbs from.
Currently it doesn’t traverses the parents in the array of WP_Term objects returned by get_the_category(), but it can be done.
Unfortunately, the exact implementation of this is not within the scope of support, but we hope we helped at least a bit.
Kind regards,
BoldThemes team
Thanks for the guidance, but its an imp for SEO practices. Do you think it can be implemented in upcoming updates?
Hi,
TBH it is not one of our priorities for two following reasons:
The common situation is that the post belongs to two categories. If that is the case, as it often is, then there is no way to display hierarchical “path” as you expect it, for both (or more than two) categories with parents. The only solution to this situation is to display the categories to which the post actually belongs to (the leaf categories) as it is now.
So far, none of the users requested change of this behavior – you are the first one 
So currently our conclusion is that the current functionality meets the needs of most of the theme users. Naturally, we will monitor the situation and if this changes we will act accordingly. Keep in mind that this change would affect all existing sites if implemented “instead” of the current functionality.
Thanks for understanding.
Kind regards,
BoldThemes team
Thanks.
Hi there,
What’s the latest version of the theme? How can I check If I have installed the latest version?
Thanks!
Hi,
Please find the changelog here: https://documentation.bold-themes.com/changelog/bold-news-changelog.txt
You can always find the link to it at the bottom of the theme profile page: https://themeforest.net/item/bold-news-magazine-news-wordpress-theme/19670189
The good option is to install the Envato Market plugin as well – https://www.envato.com/lp/market-plugin/ with it you can receive updates of the theme.
Other theme update options are described here: https://boldthemes.ticksy.com/article/7123/
Kind regards,

Hi Team,

During my last plugin update when it finished, the UI Editor has deactivated, although the eye icon is present on frontend when I am logged in as administrator, the ui editor cannot switched and activate the blocks. do you have any clue what is going on
Hi,
Have you tried deleting the browser cache – you might be loading the old, locally cached version of the Bold Builder JS.
If this does not resolve the issue, please send us the site url and the wp-admin credentials using the contact form at the bottom of the sidebar on our profile page: https://themeforest.net/user/boldthemes and we will take a closer look at it.
