Hi again,

First of all, thank you for your detailed reply — it was very helpful. I’m now preparing a clean migration from the old datebook-child to your new datebook-theme-child structure.

Since theme settings are saved in wp_options, and you mentioned that they are stored in a key like datebook_theme_child, I would like to confirm a few things to make this transition smooth and fast — and hopefully helpful for other users too.

1. What is the exact option name used in the old child theme? For example, does it use datebook_theme_child or a different key like datebook_theme_child_489, datebook_options_child, or similar?

2. Is the structure of that option_value the same between old and new themes? If yes, I can safely run a SQL query to copy the values.

3. Do you use any other keys in wp_options, wp_postmeta, or wp_termmeta related to theme settings or widgets that are affected by the theme name?

4. About translations (very important):

5. Which folder should contain the native .mo and .po files for translations? wp-content/languages/themes/ or inside the theme (/languages/)?

6. What is the recommended filename format for additional manual translations? (e.g. for Italian: datebook-theme-it_IT.mo?)

7. If I use a custom translation file for Italian (with Loco Translate), where should I place it so it is not overwritten and works correctly?

8. If I succeed in the migration, will you keep these settings also in future updates for the theme and plugins (but above all to make the child theme work)?

I’m writing here so it can be of help to others who are facing the same problem, but if you ask me to send you an email I will.

Thanks again for the support (I sent an email also).

Regards

Hi Pagick, why aren’t you answering me either to the email I sent you or here? I have a critical problem with the theme, and you don’t respond at all. I see that other customers have the same problem, and you are not responding. When can we count on help from you?

Hello, Currently, the Advanced Search appears as a popup/modal. I want to change it so that the Advanced Search form is displayed inline on the page (as part of the main content) Thanks…

Stores, events, groups, activity feed

How long to have those functionalities integrated too, please ?

These are core features nowadays that will surely attract, retain and improve user interactions.

Hello

Hi Pagick,

Is there an estimate when it will be implemented, that we can change the order in the subscription list? Not so pressing at the moment but I did plan to extend the list and for that I need to be able to resort the list.

Hi Pagick, I was wondering if there is a feature currently in the theme that helps with advertisement – to be more specifically with affiliation programs.

Or is this something I can do with woocommerce (if activated)?

Do you have any sugggestions?

Thanks Leon

Hi Pagick,

Is there a feature that sends users a reminder who have registred but not purchased a subscription?

Thanks for the update, initial testing is showing positive

I’m using the official DateBook theme, version 4.9.2 (licensed). Email notifications about new user messages are not being sent. All other emails (registration, email confirmation, contact forms) are working fine — SMTP is configured and functioning properly.

Could you please clarify:

Should email notifications for new private messages work in version 4.9.2? Is there a hook or method to manually trigger the email sending for messages? Or is this a bug that can be fixed now? Thank you for your support. This feature is important for us, as private messaging is a key part of user interaction on the site.

hmmmm…there is a problem with subscriptions…I have set 3 users per week for free for an unlimited period, but I have a user who writes to much more than 3, and in one day…I tested with my account, there is a limit…I’m confused, apparently the user can bypass the restriction

Hi, I’ve just discovered another critical issue that completely ruins the purpose of the site and any potential for monetization.

All email addresses entered by users are automatically displayed in profile reposts (for example, when someone shares a profile via messenger or social networks).

This happens because the email is saved into the excerpt (short description) field, which is then used in previews. As a result, anyone can simply share a profile, see the email, and contact the person directly — without ever paying anything on the platform.

This effectively makes the entire platform useless as a paid service.

Could you please fix this behavior? Specifically:

Make sure email addresses are not stored or displayed in excerpts; Prevent them from showing up in reposts, previews, or any auto-generated profile summaries. This is very important for the sustainability of the site. Thanks in advance.

Hi, I’d like to bring an important issue to your attention.

In the latest version of the theme/template, a new header appeared: “Знакомства для зрелых” (which means “Dating for mature people”) — and it is placed inside an

tag.

This is completely inappropriate for several reasons:

My site allows users from the age of 14, so such phrasing is misleading and could result in complaints or legal concerns. Having “for mature people” in an h1 tag is also harmful for SEO, as it’s a main heading and does not reflect the actual purpose of the site. Questions:

How can I remove or change this text from the admin panel? Is there an option to disable this message in the theme settings? If not, could you tell me in which file this element is located so I can manually remove it? Please provide a solution or a way to correct this as soon as possible.

Thank you.

Hi, when will be available photos moderation before it goes public? Waiting for it every day..

Good day again,

I’d like to give you an update regarding the PHP versions and how the theme behaves.

When I upload the theme through the WordPress admin panel, it shows a message saying that PHP 8.0 or higher is required. I’ve tested it with PHP 8.1 — the site loads, but changes in the DateBook settings are not saved. When I try to save, the blue progress bar stops at around 90% and doesn’t move further, and the changes are not applied.

Then I switch back to PHP 7.4, and in this case, saving DateBook settings works properly.

So I have a few questions:

Which PHP version do you recommend for full compatibility with the theme and DateBook? What are the recommended server settings (e.g. memory_limit, max_execution_time, post_max_size, etc.) for optimal performance? When I downloaded the theme, the folder name was different from the one I had installed previously, so the site didn’t recognize it as an update. I renamed the new theme folder to match the old one. Is this safe to do? Could it cause any problems? Thank you in advance for your recommendations.

Best regards, Hennadii

Hello,

Every time I update the theme, new issues appear, and I end up restoring the site from a backup. Because of this, I’ve been very cautious with updates. However, I decided to update again this year.

After the update, I noticed a new issue:

When I’m on the homepage and click “Edit” in the top admin bar (as an admin, not as a user), it redirects me to my profile page instead of allowing me to edit the homepage content.

Because of this, I can’t edit the homepage (texts and SEO) in the usual way.

Could you please help me resolve this?

Thank you in advance. Best regards, Hennadii
