Hi Pagik,

I’m trying to use the dashboard setting (Dashboard > Chat and Messages > Max. quantity of users to chat) to control how many people a user can message… But after setting it, the messaging limit doesn’t work, users are not restricted to the number I set there.

Also I noticed It says “Note: this feature is used only if no subscription plan is set”.. So I basically deactivated all subscriptions on the site and made Subscription free for both genders to know if this make it work but nope it still doesn’t work.

I’m just trying to have a limit to the number of messages users can send in 24hrs instead of unlimited.

Thanks

Yes, I’m aware that subscription is free for both women and men on the site, which is why I want to use the option of limiting their chat from Dashboard -> Chat and Messages -> Max. quantity of users to chat.

But that option doesn’t actually limit the chat based on the number stated there,

which is why I gave you the full admin access to the site and I also stated in the email that you have the full liberty to create new profiles or test the chat limits with the existing profiles on the site, with hopes that you’ll test it and see that the setting doesn’t actually work…..

I’ve literally been waiting for you on this stuff for almost 2weeks now, to still not get any conclusive response on this, is just unfair.

You can limit the chat to 1 or 2 users every 24hrs to test it out and see for yourself.

The chat limit works correctly on our sites. But your site has some issues. It is up to you to solve them! Not us! We have nothing to do with them!

I checked your site again and again. I found out that your site (actually your server) uses aggressive delayed caching. What I mean:

For example: I uploaded a new DateBook plugin with new functions. But I see those functions start working only after some minutes. Not immediately!

That’s why the theme cannot work/write/count correctly the chat users in time. Therefore, the theme cannot correctly limit the chat.

Advice: deactivate the cache module on your hosting.

But I will try to find some solution later.

Ok thanks, my alternative is to use a third party message system. I don’t like Wise chat.

I’m experimenting with other third party message plugin

But none works because I can’t fetch wordpress user ID on datebook profile pages.

I need help retrieving WordPress User ID from Datebook Profile page or ID

I’m trying to retrieve the WordPress user ID associated with a Datebook profile ID or profile page. So I can integrate a private messaging system using third party message plugin.

I have tried it always return user ID 1 which is admin on all user profile pages.

I’ve tried multiple methods to get the user ID, but none of them worked.

Here’s what I’ve done so far:

1. Checked $post->post_author in PHP – This always returns 1 (the admin) instead of the correct user ID.

2. Looked for the user ID in post meta (get_post_meta) – No results were found in wp_postmeta.

3. Tried fetching it via get_query_var(‘author’) – Returns empty.

4. Extracted the profile ID from the URL – This gives me a Datebook profile ID like 1735782233-2, but I need to convert this into the actual WordPress user ID.

5. Searched the database (wp_postmeta, wp_users, and other tables) for the profile ID – No matching user IDs were found.

6. Checked wp_datebook_profile_views, wp_datebook_payments, and wp_datebook_member_subscriptions – These contain profile_id, but I couldn’t find a direct link to a user_id.

Can you please tell me:

How do I retrieve the correct WordPress user ID from a Datebook profile ID or profile page?

Is there a function in Datebook that I can call in PHP to get this?

If it’s stored in a database table, which table/column links the profile ID to the user ID?

This is critical because I need to dynamically generate a private message button on Datebook profile pages that sends messages to the correct profile owner.

I appreciate any guidance you can provide!

Hi Pagik,

I want to use the second subscription option…..”Subscription + Registration” instead of the other way round Registration + Subscription, when I chose the “Subscription + Registration” option I noticed that users only get to pick a package without checkout and then register.

I was hoping users can pick a package, then checkout first before registration.

If that is not possible, then I want the first step they take after registration to be the Subscription, instead “Uploading photos”, “Updating profile” before going to Subscription phase.

Basically what I want to achieve is for users to complete registration and subscription before doing any other thing on the site, and I still want to Force redirect user to Photo page and Profile edit page after they’ve done the registered and done the subscription.

Please this is urgent.

Thanks

Good day wconline360. The theme has been designed this order: First, a user must upload photos 2) Second, update his profile 3) Third, select a subscription plan.

Your suggestion has sense. May be one day it will be realized. Thank you.

hi Pagick,

one problem solved and another one arrives! the link to my administration dashboard for new registrants no longer works!!!!!!!!

What you are implying and what I am certain of, however, is to determine precisely the cause of the plug-in? How many plug-ins are tolerated? We all paid for development and not to annoy you I think. I feel very alone in solving all this. I am naturally asking for help: support!

Ok. Let’s start from the beginning. You are not alone. Yes, sure. If you need help, I will help you.

Some plugin breaks the layout of the theme. Today, I will try to find it out. I will be back soon.

Thanks

Hi, how do I delete an individual message within a chat window? if someone has made a mistake while chatting and want to delete one message only in the window, how do we do that?

Hi. No way. It is impossible to delete chat messages. Such function has not been added yet.

We are not receiving friend request , when a user send a friend request to another user . he/she does not get any notification or does not show any request in profile > friends tab . Can you explain how this works ? or is this any bug ?

I need to check it on our side first. At the moment, I cannot say anything.

New friends waiting for approval will be waiting on a profile page like this https://demo1.pagickthemes.com/profile/21603599383/?show=friends

Hello Pagick I hope you’re doing well. I have a question regarding the verification feature in the DateBook theme. After a user submits their identity for verification, what indication will be shown to other users once their profile is successfully verified? Is there a specific badge, icon, or label that appears on their profile? If so, can this be customized? As website owners, what steps do we need to take to verify users who submit their identity? Is there a built-in system to review and approve submissions, or do we need to handle this manually? Additionally, are there any settings or third-party integrations you recommend for managing this process efficiently? Looking forward to your response. Thanks.

Hi. Thank you, fine. Yes, the verification icon must be displayed next to the profile title (Name). See screenshot https://ibb.co/KwBxzNZ

After a user submits a verification photo, then you administrator can see that photo on a profile page in the Verification page (go to a profile page -> then to the Verification page). See screenshot https://ibb.co/vLd7dXB

After that, you can activate the Verification sign like on this screenshot https://ibb.co/KwBxzNZ

You can change the verification icon manually, in this file, on line 380: /wp-content/plugins/datebook/templates/profile/single-profile.php

You can moderate the submissions from users in the Moderation panel. See screenshots https://ibb.co/fqZGrSY

Also, you can receive some notifications about some changes in profiles.

That’s it. Kind regards

Thank you Pagick I wanted to ask if video and voice chat functionality is planned for future updates. If so, do you have any estimated timeline for its implementation?

Looking forward to your response.

Yes, these wonderful features are planned: video and voice chat, video in profile. But I cannot say when.

Hello again Pagick.

1) I’m trying to understand how fake profiles work. On the creation page the first step is to select the gender, but if for example I select Male, the profiles that are created have the image (the gray silhouette) of a woman and vice versa. Since I activated the zodiac sign the tooltip clearly says the gender of the user which however does not correspond to the photo (if female is selected, profiles with a male photo are created and vice versa). I also have NON-Binary in addition to male and female. How can I solve this?

2) I also add that further down the demo creation page I read: “Type If selected, these elements will be assigned to random profiles.” This wording has no selection options unless it refers to the other options below which have their own dedicated selection

https://ibb.co/qFLF6LHv

Sorry if I add another observation: the profile that is automatically created by associating the wrong image (female image on male profile and vice versa) also prevents the functioning on the search page, that is, if I register a female member and do a search by gender as Female nothing appears, but it appears if the search is set to male (which obviously should not happen).

? What do you say about this issue. I can’t create any fake profile like this because the gender wouldn’t match. I know it’s Sunday for you too but I need to solve.

Hi RaCLD.

1) I just checked the creation of profiles on our demo site. It generates profiles Man and Woman correctly. I created 10 man profiles. They all display the male silhouettes. 10 woman profiles also display the female silhouettes. Here is our demo page showing different profiles generated by the theme. They all have the correct silhouettes https://demo1.pagickthemes.com/searching/page/2/

I do not know how to solve it, because I do not see any misfunction.

2) This field “Type” does not exist. That’s why there is no option. You can add types of profile here: WordPress -> Profiles -> Types.

3) I just checked the search for fake profiles. It works properly. For example: all fake profiles of Austria are found on the search page, on our demo site.

4) If you create fake profiles and genders do not match, you could manually correct genders. It means, you should go to each profile page -> then to the “Settings” page -> then select the gender and Save.

But before, you should enable this option: WordPress -> DateBook -> Dashboard -> Profile -> Allow edit Gender after registration.

Hello Pagick.

1) Please explain the difference between a “featured” profile and a “top” profile. What is the difference between these two functions and how/where are they shown to users.

2) Regarding the IP Position function, I see that there are 4 options. I ask you if it is a function that I have to pay an additional fee to enable? What exactly is this function for? Is it necessary for the user’s browser to display the language of the country from which my website is visited?Which of the 4 options do you recommend?

3) Where/how do I set the footer with custom colors and/or various links and/or site logo?

Thanks for your time

Well. I checked your site and corrected the issues. Answers:

1) Featured panel was hidden because you set featured profiles to be displayed with images only, here: WordPress -> DateBook -> Dashboard -> Featured -> Enable Featured status -> Show with images only. I have disabled this option. Now the featured profiles appeared on your site.

2) You create female profiles, but they wrongly have male icon, and vice versa. This happened because, Male was entered first, Female was entered after Male. But Female must be first. Here in this field: WordPress -> DateBook -> Custom Fields -> open the “Gender” field for editing -> Field Items

Parent and child themes have their own settings (different settings). If you enabled some option in the parent theme, then it does not mean that this option will be enabled in the child theme. You should enabled/disable options in both parent and child themes.

That’s why, when you activate the child theme, some options do not work.

Hi Pagick.

First of all, thanks for taking the time to come and see what was wrong with the staging site. I’m glad there are NO bugs to fix, very happy about that.

You have to admit though that the gender issue (female first) is not easy and intuitive to understand and so we are forced to post in this support chat to figure out how to fix it. Same thing for the settings that I do NOT understand at this point how to behave.

You said that the latest update allowed the settings to be saved independently in the child theme and parent theme (both independent settings). Now you tell me that (correct me if I misunderstood) if I set something in the child theme the same thing must also be set in the parent theme. So at this point one affects the other?

I’m honestly afraid to save any setting in the parent theme because I don’t want to lose all the settings of the child theme. I kindly ask you to clarify this point.

Thanks

Good morning,

I have two concerns:! the first when I click on “classified ads” (see capture) I go to a mn blog category instead of member ads. How to resolve the problem? second question: my blogs don’t get any views! the counter always remains at 0.. https://ibb.co/TDKBSbG2

You in live ?

The Administration Dashboard must expand now. Check it out. I apologize for the delay. Holidays!

Merci !!

Hello please I have issues of page not found after confirmation link sent to user, to click on the link it will say no page found. I have try redirect plugin the issues still persist. What is the next to do?

Hi. Re-save permalinks here: WordPress -> Settings -> Permalinks

I have done that several time

Do you use a redirect plugin? You said “I have try redirect plugin”.

As I understand it, a user registers on your site, then he receives an email with confirmation link, then he clicks on it, and then he sees the page “Page not found”. Right?

I can guess, you are using some third-party plugins. Right? Try to deactivate them all and check the issue again. Something breaks functionality of the theme.

When I am redirected to this address, a blank page is displayed.

This site does not open. Sorry. This link must open the moderation panel with profile section.

When I try to approve new pictures and profiles I get redirected to a blank page This happened after the last updates https://1hamraz.com/?datebook-moderation=yes&moderation-page=profiles I also disabled other plugins but it didn’t work Should I email you my login information?

Yes. Please, email me the login credentials. I will check the issue.

Hello When I want to approve new profiles or new photos, I am redirected to this address and I cannot do the approvals, why? ?datebook-moderation=yes&moderation-page=profiles I also checked the pages in the plugin and saw that the pages are with the Datebook page builder and it is correct.

Yes, both of the above addresses work correctly But on the photo and profile verification page, I am still redirected to a new white page. I also disabled the Lightspeed plugin but it did not solve it Should I email you the login information for the WordPress dashboard?

When I try to approve new pictures and profiles I get redirected to a blank page This happened after the last updates https://1hamraz.com/?datebook-moderation=yes&moderation-page=profiles I also disabled other plugins but it didn’t work Should I email you my login information?

I checked your site. I have the login credentials for your admin area. Everything works correctly! I successfully approved profiles and photos in the moderation panel.

But you installed many third-party plugins. No doubt, one of them may break the theme functionality or even the functionality of many ordinary pages and other places.

For example: you installed a caching plugin. It definitely may break everything. Use third-party plugins carefully!

Hi I set up my subscription plans and activated top and featured section and also made the plan free for women. Now it’s not working the top and featured status and keeps giving disabled options in the profiles even though I set it up correctly. Is there a setting or something somewhere else that could affect this.

keeps saying you have reached your limit and may not activate it again

Hi. As I understand, you (administrator) are activating the subscription plan on a profile page manually. In this case, Top and Featured buttons on a subscription page of profile account will be disabled. But as administrator, you can activate Top and Featured statuses on a profile page here -> see screenshot https://ibb.co/vY7fXWH

If a user activates a subscription plan, then all buttons Top and Featured will be active and working properly.

Dear Team,

I am planning to create a Indian Matrimony Website and would like to confirm whether your solution supports the following features in addition to the basic requirements:

1. Custom Search Filters – Ability to create advanced search combinations based on Bride/Groom, Age, Religion, Profession, State, Caste, Community, and other custom fields. 2. Profile View Limitations – Restrict the number of profiles a user can view based on their subscription level. 3. Privacy Controls for Unpaid/paid Users – Hide specific profile details (e.g., contact information, full name, photos) for free/unpaid/paid users. 4. SMS Gateway Integration – Support for integrating Indian SMS gateways like MSG91, Twilio, Textlocal, or any other provider. 5. Multi-Step Registration Form – A user-friendly, step-by-step registration process to collect detailed information efficiently. 6. Payment Gateway Support – Compatibility with Indian payment gateways like Razorpay, PayU, Instamojo, CCAvenue, or Stripe for membership plans. 7. Matchmaking Algorithm – Intelligent matching based on user preferences and compatibility scores. 8. Mobile-Friendly & SEO Optimized – A responsive and SEO-optimized design with a smooth user experience across devices. Could you please confirm whether your theme/plugin supports these features, either by default or through additional customization? Also, let me know if there are any additional recommended plugins/extensions to achieve this functionality.

I’m putting my questions back here because they are old ;-)

I would like to put links to major cities, that would be great for SEO, but I can’t find the URLs, can you help me? It would also be nice to add links to social networks ;-)

I wanted to rework my SEO and I switched from Yoast SEO to Rank math. I want the structure of my title to be: datebook_profile_name datebook_profile_city I configured everything but Rank Math still doesn’t accept it! I end up with duplicate content on all profiles!

Major cities will be added some day. I cannot say when exactly. When we have more free time.

Seo. I checked the custom title in Rank Math on a profile page, on our demo sites. it works. Try to do the following:

Enable these options: WordPress -> DateBook -> Dashboard -> SEO -> Enable shortcodes in meta tags (check all options that includes the word Rank).

Enable this option: WordPress -> DateBook -> Dashboard -> SEO -> Enable meta title on these pages

Use these shortcodes: datebook_profile_name datebook_profile_city

Hello! You still haven’t fixed the Woocommerce translation error in Subscriptions. Please fix it

Thank you for the screenshots. Those translation are generated by WooCommerce. But we have changed the theme functionality. So, the translation will be fully corrected in the next update.

Very good! I’m waiting for a new version of the script.

Hello !

Is there a way we can show matching profiles to user on profile page ? and user gets a notification for matching profiles ?

We want user to find matching profile on click of a button , when user click this button they will see list of profiles with highest percentage of matching .

Hi. Now, this is impossible. The theme does not have such function. But your idea is wonderful. May be, one day it will be realized. Thank you.

Hello, please I have some issues which like talk about and ask some questions, I noticed that when a user register on my website the email link will sent to that person, but for him/her to open the link that’s where the error of too many redirect will come up please what is the solution, I have try to deactivate the plugins one after the other the error still persists until I deactivate datebook plugin, that’s when the website load. 2. What are the different between child theme and parent theme because I don’t install child theme before, but when I try to update the theme I only update with child theme and my registration and login page didn’t open again until I get back to previous version. 3. It’s possible for me to install the old version of child theme for me to be able to update new version. Thanks.

Hi. Regarding redirect. I have no idea what could go wrong on your site. Sorry. Try to delete the .htaccess file that is located in the root of your site.

After that, re-save permalinks here: WordPress -> Settings -> Permalinks.

Regarding child theme. You can add your own codes in the child theme (in these files “function.php” and “style.css”). In this folder: wp-content/themes/datebook-child.

Thus, you will not occasionally break functionality of the parent theme.

No, installing only the child theme will not update the theme at all. You should update the parent theme.

Hello When I press home button it shows blank page https://limewire.com/d/c45922bc-4b6a-4f3b-b97a-a29f986beb43#3J0RFSo9Y5bMIWxm0ADRmpcEgVW8u8CGkE7YqIqhzAg

what should I change to fix it

And I don’t receive emails for registration, contact us, any other email.

Hi. It looks like you wrongly selected pages here: WordPress -> DateBook -> Dashboard -> Pages. Do the following:

1) Go here and delete all duplicate pages: WordPress -> Pages

2) Go here: WordPress -> DateBook -> Dashboard -> Pages -> select pages in all relative fields. For example: select the “Profile – Edit” page in the field “Profile: Edit Profile page” and so on.

3) Deselect this option: WordPress -> DateBook -> Dashboard -> Pages -> Replace Homepage for logged in users.

4) Email do not send, because your server does not allow to send emails on simple way. Only SMTP is allowed. Solution: install the WP Mail SMTP plugin. It always helps.

Hello there, After installation , home page does not work, show blank page. No demo content show up like your site demo.

Why this issue? Please help. Thanks

Hi. You have not completed the installation. Please, follow this guide on how to install the theme https://www.pagickthemes.com/how-to-install-or-update-datebook/

In short, go here and follow all 3 steps: WordPress -> DateBook -> Theme Installer.
