Nice theme, but page loading with percentage not looks good! Also it will be good to add position detection and search around position in defined km. And Events will be good if had separate page with comments and rating possibility.
Hello,
There is an option for able/disable pre-loader. we will add my position on map with distance soon. event will have more features in future.
Thanks for your suggestion.
Sean
I notice that this theme loads with a “loading” progress counter. Can this be removed? That cant be a good thing as far as UX and SEO is concerned.
Hello,
There is an option ( just released) to able / disable pre-loading on theme option. there might be still % showing (white color) there will be also removed. Our support (Rob) studied SEO a lot. he will concerned it add some more later. you can talk to him about it. it will be a big help to him to build
Thanks

Love how this theme is starting and I am personally only waiting for 1 feature before purchase. The ability to add different packages/member levels as this is the most important for me. Just my input, hope to be purchasing soon.
Hello,
We have a package at this moment and we will add price table soon.
You will have more types of payment.
Thank you.
Your theme is looking great. I have some pre-purchase questions:
1) Is there a registration page? I can’t see any in your demo?
2) Is it possible to display an author box next to each shop?
3) Is there any profile page? I can only find the “Edit profile” page, but not the profile how it looks for another user.
4) How is the performance of the theme with a lot of locations? We’ll have almost 1000 locations at the beginning and will soon have more.
5) Is the theme fully translateable? Are the .po-Files. I need to translate it completely into German and want to use another expression than “shops”. Is this possible?
6) Is it possible to change to a more simple rating system or disable rating? I don’t need four different rating categories.
7) Is it possible to use custom markers on the map?
Thanks!
1) You can use wp register. you don’t want to give too many questions in register page. we also have register shortcode which you can create a page. It will be updated soon.
2. I need to know where and how it looks like. if it’s good then we will add.
3. Yes please go to our demo and login (demo/demo)
4. I believe that 1000 would be ok. it’s also related to your hosting side.
5. Yes, if we missed any strings, please let us know to fix. we will do very quickly.
6. Yes, it’s customizable. you can have 1~5 ratings.you can change rating statement too. we will also add “disable ratings” soon.
7. Yes, On category / Location you can add cusotom markers and feature images. we will add some soon and provide buyers PSD soon.
Thank you Sean
Looking great, guys! Just two requirements:
1) Paypal AND bank transfer (admin would have to flag the shop as ‘paid’)
2) Are the Events linked to the Shops? For example, I’m willing to have restaurant owners registering, and they would place Events for their restaurants (so, automattically importing images/data from their property would be nice)
Congrats!
3) Ratings: maybe a Disqus system, because not every user would want to register in the website just to leave a simple feedback (I wouldn’t register)
4) In the Location tab, it would be great to have a button “Get Directions” using geolocation (great for mobile users)
1) Yes we will add more.
2) That sounds good. At this moment, it’s linked to the shop detail pages. we can add some more in the future.
3) We will have on/off options (ratings, reviews, events). you can download and active Disqus plugin. we will make a space of shortcode of it. maybe that’s easier 
4) Yes that was our plan. Steet View, Get Directions.
Thank you.
Sean
Does this have front end registration form, i see a front end login form but not he registration form
Yes we have a shortcode for register/login (not published yet). you can create your own register page. however it needs more design. at this moment you can use wp register page. we will add soon.
Thank you, Sean
in that case i will wait for the new update from you.
Ok thank you, it wont take too long.
Hi there, will I be able to use the map page as the homepage? Love this look. Love the theme!
Hello Ibernard,
Yes you can change anytime. Please go to General > Reading > A static page (select below) Please select page name on Front page ( the page name is “map-box” in demo.) Then your front-page would be map-box page.
Try and let us know if you have a problem.
Thank you Rob.
Please use our support site. that’s faster and I can give you more details. it’s little small space for support
Hi, are their API files included to make it ready for Android and IOS Apps?
I am not sure API files for Apps. we will check it out.
Thank you,
Hi,
I think a solution to add many payment methods is to integrate “paidmembershipspro” Add to this the addon PMPro WooCommerce
Gateways for WooCommerce payments are made and they are many.
what you think?
Cheers
Hello
Yes we have considering these. we will add some when it’s ready.
If you have more suggestions, please let us know.
Thank you,
Sean
I like the look of this and I’m looking for a directory template, but for single, specific business types – to invent an example, let’s say a site which lists baby-sitters, au-pairs and nannies (it’s not these, but you get the idea). I therefore want a directory of these three things, with the ability to maybe add other sub-categories and have them listed by area (in the UK by counties).
This means I don’t want the standard categories / business types you have used. I suspect from comments above that this will be a fundamental requirement for many (let’s be honest, if you want a general directory of all businesses in a country, county or town, people like yell, google local and so on will probably be people’s first choice).
Is it possible to change the job types/categories etc without using a work-around but far from ideal translation plugin? If it is possible, I have over a dozen html websites that I’d love to change over to this.
Thanks
Hello Brain,
We have a plan to add Job fields on javo directory. but not now. we may add them later. we have exprience to create job themes with maps and job portal. so javo directory will have good feature.
Thank you,
Sean
Hi javothemes,
Great update on this theme! I was wondering if as a Admin could I post stores while the theme is set to “payment type is paid” in payment settings? When I post stores under admin then I click the payment type for paid listings the listings disappear in the map and the home page slider. I need to have the ability to post listings as an admin without having to pay to post while the payment type is set to paid. Please help me solve this issue and thank you for all your help, Brian
Hello Brain,
I think I may need more detail information. please create a ticket on our support site. (http://javothemes.com/directory-support/) You (admin) can post items on backend. or post them on front-end and publish them on backend. Please let me know if you have more question. (support site)
Thanks,
Rob
Please don’t forget to give us 5 stars if you like our update and service. it will help us to keep working on javo directory
Yes, I am able to post listings on both frontend and backend, but when I select the payment type to paid in the payment settings there is a problem with the listings showing up. So, how do I create listing that are seen in the map and slideshow when the payment setting is set to “paid” and not “free” for the admin? Do I have to make a payment to list items for the admin in order for them to show up? Thank you for your time, Brian
Hello,
I will pass it to our support team or you can visit support site and create a ticket. they will get you back.
Thank you,
Sean
Hi
I’ve clicked install plugins. All of them works fine except from the “Revolution Slider”. I got the following message? 
” Unpacking the package…
Installing the plugin…
Destination folder already exists. /customers/9/8/8/nordicstartupmanagers.com/httpd.www/wp-content/plugins/revslider/
Plugin install failed.”
Hello,
That means you already have revoluton slider or there is revolution folder name. If you can access FTP, please go to /plugin/ and change /revslider/ name. (maybe revslider2 ) and try to install again.
Thank you
I’m looking for an Event & Entertainment theme and I’m liking your template.
Most of my questions have been asked here. But I have some in depth questions I would like to know before committing to this theme and work.
1. I’m basically looking to make the home page similar to twitch.tv but insteatd of streams it would be Events. Is the theme more suited toward shops (as and others seem to think) or can the “items” be made for hosting events?
2. When a user submits an event, is there a way to post the FB link in the event details? Or maybe even create how many people are attending the event?
3. Is there a ticket system implemented?
4. When a user is looking details for an event, is there a way to have a “guest-list” implemented? For EX: If user wants to attend this event, he would click the “Get on the Guest-list” button and he would simply have to write in the form his full name and # of guests. When completed, the form sends the information to the promoter who submitted the event.
5. Do you offer custom development as a service (obviously paid)?
Please let me know.
Thank you,
1. It could be possible but this is based on shops, listings. you may need to customize some. or we can add some similar features later.
2. Not yet. only for listings.
3. I am afraid. not. you can find ticket system plugins.
4. I am sorry these are more closed to event themes. this is a directory theme and we will add more event features later.
5. I believe we do. but not for now. we are busy to work on this theme.
Thank you,
Hi Javo, First off Thank you for responding. I understand your team is working hard on the default settings and happy to hear you guys will work in implementing “Event” features (seems a lot of people want it too). I will purchase this template with hopes you guys keep your word and add Event features in the near future. Thank you!
Did you purchase? I feel little responsibility of your requests. 
1. I am not sure how much we can make it closed. it should look like only main page of the site.
2. yes possible.
3. No, you need to purchase ticket system plugin. you can find some on codecaynon.
4. this is going to be little a lot of work. we can do little later.
if you purchased, please us this demo-data.
http://javothemes.com/guide/directory/#sample-contentThanks Rob
This is a GREAT looking theme!
But one thing, the “Events”. Normally when I think of events, I’m thinking of at least …. Date, Start Time, End Time, Location and maybe Price.
I also want to be able to do a search by date or day or some kind of calendar. If you sort this out so events works like this, you will have a perfect theme.
Other than that, this is a excellent theme! I would buy it as it ticks every box other than the event. I think most people think of these when they think of events.
I need my users to be able to search for events by time and date, location and price. Once thats done, I will purchase this theme.
Yes, That’s already on our plan. there will be a map for events. however we just want to go for directory options first and events. Thank you,
Does this theme offer the ability for users to claim a listing, if not is that feature in the plans to be added?
Hello,
At this moment, we only have “assign” to another user. we will add claim option later. it’s on our do-to list.
Thank you. Sean
Hi Following from other comments love this theme perfect for what we are looking for…
What is the estimated delivery date for the video element this is a vital feature that we are looking for
Look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience.
Hello,
Do you mean the display video on detail page? it planed earlier. but we didn’t have time to fix small bugs (cuz of weekend). We are more focus on stable installation and settings for now. after that we will add video part.
Please have a look our next update plan (item detail page). it’s on there.
Thank you,
Sean
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.. Rather than just images on the directory listings I was hoping to be able to feature videos on each post?
Yes it will be. it may take little time. I hope it’s done on next update. thank you. Sean.
Okay, just so I can plan whether to postpone the project are we talking days or weeks for this update?
Thanks again!
I hope it should be in 2 days. it depends on how it goes. we are handling new version virtual composer plugin issue. I hope we can fix it as soon as possible and move on others.
Thanks
Rob
Hello,
So happy to see another decent directory theme up and running after the whole SpotFinder fiasco! So fantastic job and wish you lots of luck for the competition. Like everyone else on here, I do have a few questions:
1 – I’ve noticed this directory is mostly targeted towards the retail market from using the words ‘Shops’ and also the fact the the events are offers/discounts rather than events? Can the word ‘Shop’ be modified?
2 – Regarding Events, I was really hoping that when I clicked on this it would with an event calendar with categories. So in this way, I could potentially have job listings, offers, promo codes, festivals, events… is there any possibility of this happening?
3 – Can custom fields be linked directly to categories? So that only specific custom fields appear when a category is chosen. Also can we create custom fields to accept HTML code such as YouTube/Vimeo?
4 – Are there any payment plans / packages inserted? It would be good to have featured posts as widgets or highlighted options, including custom fields that only come up when paid for.
Thanks,
James
Hello James,
Thanks for the detail descriptions. I passed it to our support team and they will get you back. they know more than I do.
Thanks, Sean
Hello James,
1. We have also considered the name between “items” and “shop”. the post-type is “item” now. I don’t think we should change the post-type. But I have an idea. As you may know, there are translate plugins such as coding localization; you can change all of names -meaning it’s possible to do now. However, adding new features definitely takes time to implement.
2. Yes, we also want to have more features.. adding date input and displaying them on a calendar. But at this moment, we want to focus on basic / default directory options first. Then we will add more. Additionally, we already have custom fields.
3. The video fields will be added soon. I think the links sound good. We will see what we can do.
4. Yes we have basic payment: 10 posts for 40 dollars.
I believe you have great ideas. We have a list of features we are planning on implementing (some of which you, and others, have mentioned) but new features can not always be made on time. If you send me a message, I can send you a link to the sites which we have tried.
Please let me know if you have any more questions.
Thanks
Rob

Hello,
Very nice application
Just a question. Can you make 2 different language files : one for back-office and one for front office ? I have to translate it in French and would like to begin only with front-office.
Another question, do you plan to set a translation tool, I mean like poeditor.com so we can share our translations and also contribute to others ?
Thanks for your reply.

Fred
Hello BR Fred,
This is not regular way to do. I think you need to talk to our support team. could you please create a ticket on our support team ( http://javothemes.com/directory-support/ ). they will give you the detail information. poeditor.com sounds great. we will figure it out.
1 more thing, we are just about to release new updates (v 1.1.1). It fixed small bugs.
Please download it again and replace it.
Thank you,
Sean
Hello Sean, Thanks a lot for your speed answer I will contact the support team to see if it’s possible. Best Regards Fred

Hi Javothemes,
How do I create two category types for one Event? I want to be able two filter the Events by two or more categories, for example, “coffee” and “mocha” would be selected at the same time in the “Javo Event Gallery” . How can I create multiple category types for the same Event or Special Offer? Thank you for time, Brian
Hello,
It can be on back-end. please create categories and you can select 2 categories on back-end of the event. or just edit the event and you can find categories (checkbox).
Thanks
Sean
Thank you for your fast response. I tried checking two categories on the backend, but when I select the event in “Javo Event Gallery”, the button category above the event only recognizes one category. How do I fix this?
Hello,
We have tried to make it multi-selection it may take time to do. for now you may have to make 2 events for each category. we will try to find solution later. that shortcode had a small bug and fixed as well. it will be released with next update. it will be very soon.
Thanks,
Sean
Hello, We just added for multi-selection. developer told me that it was designed for only 1 category. you can do multi-categories on events from new update. It will be released soon. Thanks,
