Can you please share the document or Video training regarding customization. Please tell me that how new users can register themself? will be looking forward for your earlier response.

Hi there,

If you haven’t done so already please submit your support questions at http://ghostpool.ticksy.com where I will answer them shortly. :)

Sorry for the inconvenience but we do point this out in the help file, item page and your theme options page.

Hello,

My wife would like a theme that has the 4 characteristics mentioned below: 1- It has to look like a portal (because it will be a portal to help animals). 2-Visitants area for them to registrate and win points, stars ans medals, with a member area with a reputation system. Example: share 10 articles and win a point , after having 100 points wins a golden medal. 3-Very organized pages (like a newspaper journal and magazine). 4-Interaction between users (it can bea Forum).

Is this Theme recomended to her?

And whitch plugin do I need to use ?

Best Regards, Icaro

Hi there,

1) I’m not sure what a portal looks like, but you can view the demo site and see if what the theme looks like – http://buddywp.wpengine.com

2) This is a very specialized request. The theme doesn’t offer these features but a plugin such https://wordpress.org/plugins/cubepoints-buddypress-integration/ may interest you.

3) Again take a look at the demo site to see what you think.

4) The theme works with the bbPress forum plugin, you can see an example here: http://buddywp.wpengine.com/forums/

Excellent theme.

I have a question now about the Plugin … cubepoints, is not updated for 2 years! myCred would be better?

I wasn’t aware it hadn’t been updated in so longer. I’m not sure if myCred would be better. Neither have been tested with the theme so this is only a suggestion. This is something you’ll need to look into yourself. If you can’t find the right plugin you can hire us to integrate this system into the Buddy theme for you.

The best buddy press theme I purchased. Great work guys.

Thanks. :)

Hi there,

I would ask the following question:

For the logo image what kind of image format (JPEG, PNG, SVG, GIF or AI – Adobe Illustrator) the theme “Buddy” and “Plexus” accept?

Only vector images (SVG and AI– Adobe Illustrator)?

Only JPEG, GIF and PNG?

Or all of them?

Thank you.

Hi there,

You can use any of these image formats, the main factor is whether the browser will support them, which has nothing to do with the theme itself. JPG, GIF and PNG are supported by all browsers, SVG (AI) is not supported in IE8 but should work in most other browsers.

Thanks for the great explanation and the extremely quick answer.

Hi GhostPool, I’d like to know if the last update works with WP 3.5.1. I haven’t yet decided to upgrade my WP to the newest versions

Hi there,

The theme will probably work but I’m only supporting 3.7 and above now. 3.5 is over a year old so you should really consider upgrading for the security updates alone.

Does this theme have a drag and drop feature? Need to know ASAP as I need to buy a theme today.

Is there a way to install the theme as is on my website? I like the layout and I would like it as is and customize it from there.

basically, I need to know how easy it is to create pages and how much is coding from scratch. I have to create a website that I need done by Friday. Or something like a page builder

You don’t need to do any coding to set up the theme as seen in the demo. The theme comes with demo files so you can set it up just like the demo in a matter of minutes. The help file also explains how to set up each page.

Hi one pre-purchase question.

Do you support BuddyDrive and do you have any demo or screenshot to show the layout of it?

Thanks

Hi there,

I’ve not tested the theme with BuddyDrive so I can’t say whether Buddy support this plugin. However I don’t see any reason why it wouldn’t work.

Hi

Looks like a great theme and about to purchase. Just checking in to see when the next update may be (last one was in May) and to make sure it is still well supported?

Many thanks, Si

Hi there,

Buddy is still actively supported and will continue to be update. I’m working on a new theme at the moment so theme updates slow down during this time. I’ve nearly finished the new theme so expect a new theme update to Buddy shortly. :)

GhostPool,

1. Do you have documentation either written or video of how to set up Buddy or how to customize the site?

2. Are users only able to log in using their wordpress log in or can users log in using an email/password or facebook/twitter account?

3. Do you have demo login info to see how site works?

Thanks!!!

Hi there,

1) Yes the theme comes with written documentation that explains how to set up all parts of the site, it also includes some basic help on customizing the theme.

2) Yes. You will need to use a plugin to allow users to login through Facebook or Twitter.

3) Unfortunately I cannot provide login access for security reasons.

Is it possible to replace the “buddy” logo in the header with my own logo?

Never mind, I got it.

Hi,

I am thinking about buying this plugin, but have two question. I am planning on making a free-membership site and integrating buddypress.

Will I need to use a complementary membership plugin or does the theme come with the features for me to host a simple free-membership site?

Also, does the theme offer a redirect upon login for members? I would like to make a nice landing page advertising the site and members would login there and be directed to a member homepage.

Please let me know when you get a chance.

Hi there,

The theme does not come with membership features, you’ll need to use a plugin such as s2 Member for this.

The login page redirects to the page you came from, but you can customize this with a small code change to go to any page you want.

Hi, Buddy has Turkish language support?

Yes it does and yes you can. :)

Thanks, I love this theme. I bought and I’m working new website :)

Excellent. :D

Hi, Your german translation was outdated, so I’ve updated it ;) Feel free to use it for your theme :) http://shatter-box.com/translations/?wpfb_s=Ghostpool

Hi there,

The theme doesn’t come with a German translation, but I’m sure anyone wants it they will download it from the link provided. Thank you. :)

Hi, I have created private ticket on your support website yesterday about “Buddy” theme, but I can’t find it on my account, also I have not received any confirmation on my registered email. Does it mean that this ticket has gone lost (unfortunately I did not write down it’s ID)? Should I have received the confirmation or status update on my email?

I managed to re-submit my ticket and now I can see it on my user profile, so that’s good. No email notification though :( I’m looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi there,

You’ll only receive an email notification once you receive a reply to your ticket as far as I know. Heading over to answer all the tickets now. :)

Hey,

Nice theme, I think its got a lot of scope for modifications that I would like to make to the theme, however I was looking for an HTML only version, do you have an HTML only version of this theme?

Hi there,

I don’t have a HTML version but we could certainly create one for you. If you’re interested fill out the following contact form to get a quote from us: http://www.ourwebmedia.com/ghostpool.php?aff=002

Hey,

Nice theme, is there an HTML only version of your theme? If not will you be able to design one? I don’t mind paying additionally for the efforts. I wanted a metro layout / metro UI on the profile page and the activity page please?

Hi there,

There’s no HTML version, but this is certainly something we can do for you. If you’re interested you can contact Bryce who handles all the customization work for my customers. Just let him know you want a HTML verison of the Buddy theme by filling out the following contact form to get a quote from him: http://www.ourwebmedia.com/ghostpool.php?aff=002

Hey, Thank You for your reply! Checking with Bryce now..

Hello:

Good morning my name is Ricardo Triana, I´m a front end developer and web/mobile designer. Im looking to purchase a template for my startup company. What Im looking for is:

-User registration/sign up -User can edit their profile (avatar image and data) and publish. Profile can be viewed by all registered and not registered users. -User geolocation. Can user have a geolocation option when creating profeile. -Advanced search app -Responsive and extremely mobile friendly -Chat aplication or some kind of comment aplication so users can interact in a private/public manner. -User can create a post/page with custom fields, and will only be published after admin authorization. This post/page can be tagged so that it can be easily found by a user when using this tags as search filters. -User can create and share a post/page with custom fields that will only be viewed by certain users. User should be able to associate this post/page with a certain user that is registered in the site.

I know these might look like a bit too much, but it is my best option, i need some kind of minimum viable product to be online in a few weeks, that is why Im taking the template option as my last resource. And I know that some of these functionalities can be achieved with plugins and son on. But Id really like to know if plugins can be installed without any trouble and that your template will be able to install these plugins with no conflict.

Thank you so much for your time, and I hope you guys can help me out.

Regards

RICARDO TRIANA

Chris GhostPool, thanks for your reply! Do you think you can give me access to a username and password so I can check out the functionalities of your demo?

Regards!

Hey! The template looks good, i justa have a few questions before I make my decision:

1. Can I have users rating other user? 2. Can a user comment on another user´s profile? 3. cAn the user create posts that can be monitored and published by the admin. 4. Of Im not 100% satisfied will I get my momney back?

Thank for yout time, and sorry for all the trouble.

Regards,

RICARDO TRIANA

Unfortunately I cannot currently provide admin access to the demos due to security reasons. All the theme functions are listed on the item page and if you have anymore questions I’ll be happy to answer them.

1) The theme does not offer user ratings, you’ll need to find a plugin that does this.

2) Yes using BuddyPress.

3) Already answered this before, the theme does not offer this feature. You’ll need to use a plugin like Gravity Forms.

4) You will need to contact Envato (not me) if you want a refund. Refunds are generally only offered if the theme is broken or not as advertised.

i can not download this again? why? said it reach download limit… i have never known there’s a limitation, i have no idea how many times i have downloaded this, cuz, every time i downloaded it, never saved the original download, just make some changes on some files, and i didn’t do backup on files, when i need a original copy , i downloaded again…

and has this theme updated lately?

Hi there,

Envato impose a download limit on files – it’s not something I did and is out of my control. You’ll need to contact Envato about this and they should be able to increase/remove the limit. For more information please see: http://support.envato.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/215/54/how-many-times-can-i-download-a-purchased-item

Hello! I want to use this theme with rtMedia. Is that possible?

Hi there,

Yes, other users have used this plugin with the Buddy theme.

I use the translate file from buddypress and bbpress. But it seems not working properly, some words are not translate at all. And I carefully checked the language file, it do have the translate but not show right. Please help.

Hi there,

If you’re having trouble translating bbPress and BuddyPress you should contact their support sites as this doesn’t really relate to the theme. :)
