Does this theme come with a child theme. If not can you create a child theme for me to download after purchasing this theme..

- Is there a Custom CSS area in this theme to paste css code. These two things are important to my client.

Hi there,

1) Yes the theme comes with a child theme.

2) Yes it comes with a custom CSS area to paste your CSS code.

Hope that answers your questions. :)

Hi, I’ve purchased the theme and so far I think it’s really great. One issue that I’m having is the slider on the main home page. When given the URL – It seems to be playing youtube videos finely, but any ‘Vimeo’ URL doesn’t seem to play on the slider and keeps giving me the error “The embed code for this video is not valid.” Has anyone else had this problem?

Hi there,

I’ve addressed your question on the support site. :)

Hi, I think to buy this theme. And I have got several really important questions.

1. My project is about to show the members their business cards. Is this possible with Buddypress ?

2. If possible can I show business cards of members in the members page as first tab ? (so Business Cards – Profile – Activity…)

3. There is a latest activity and latest post in the homepage. I want to show uploaded images (business cards) in that area ? Is this possible with either customisation or theme options ?

4. Instead of features (in homepage) can I show another widget like featured members ? So can I edit homepage design ?

Thanks.

Hi there,

1) BuddyPress doesn’t have a business card feature as far as I know, so you may need to customize this or a find a plugin that adds this feature. However I would suggest asking BuddyPress about this for a more accurate answer.

2) See 1).

3) It’s definitely possible with customisations, but the theme doesn’t offer this feature.

4) Yes. The homepage can be fully customized so you can display the BuddyPress Member widget in the centre of the homepage instead.

Pre-Purchase question.

Can a newly registred member create a new group and edit it on the front-end? (not in WP dashboard)

If you can’t is there a way to lock the other dashboard buttons so the user only can create the groups?

Hi there,

BuddyPress does allow newly register members to create groups from the front-end and edit them.

Great looking script… Are there any options or solutions to add “Login with Facebook”..?

Also, anything for events?

Hi there,

You’ll need to use plugins for both of these things. Take at look through the plugins directory: https://wordpress.org/plugins/

Good news & THANKS for your prompt reply!

There is some code to hide admin activity in “Latest Activity” shorcode?

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.

Presale Question:

I love your theme but have one very important question. I want to show the sub-forums in a nicely displayed fashion on one single page. Is this possible with your theme?

Here is my example: http://demo.herothemes.com/socialbuddy/forums/

I know BBPress allows sub-forums, but how will that display with your theme?

Hi there,

The theme uses the standard bbPress sub forum display, (sub forum links below the main forum link). The sub forums do not look like the one’s seen at that link.

Hello three. I would like to use this for a company intranet. Is there a way to make anything that says “Member/Members” show as “Employee/Employees”?

Thanks!

Hi there,

Yes you will need to edit the BuddyPress plugin translation file to change this text.

How can I make any language that says “Member” or “Members” say “Employee” or “Employees”? This will be used for an Intranet and it’s a large company

Thanks!

Hey there either way i will probably get your theme since its the closest thing to a tigracon / jomsocial theme ive found for wordpress.

Tho im wondering if you could add collum support for the frontpage activity feed so it splits itself up into 1-2-3 or 1-2 collums instead of a single one, so much wasted space.

Could even pay for a custom feature like that.

Take a look at the timeline / activity stream on this page and i think youll see what i mean.

http://demo.tigracon.com/jomsocial32/

And what would something like this cost me, btw did you hear anything back from the guy about usersultrapro? Guess could just try the free version to test first.

I see what you mean now. I cant give you a quote as I do not personally do the work, but if you contact my development team at http://www.ourwebmedia.com/ghostpool.php?aff=002 they’ll be able to give you one. :)

Alright dropped em a request:)

Hi, I know i’m missing something, but how do you add or remove posts from ‘the features’ section.

I cant seem to see any options about ‘featuring’ a post.

Many thanks

Hey Team GhostPhool,

I would like to edit buddypress plugin file how do i edit it in my child theme ? within my child theme i have created a folder call “buddypress” and the sub directory folder as the plugin but its not working. It would be really nice if you could guide me through this.

Thank you

Hi there,

If this is not working you should contact BuddyPress support since this relates to their plugin rather than the theme. :) Also take a look at https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/theme-compatibility-1-7/a-quick-look-at-1-7-theme-compatibility/#child-themes

Please note all theme support questions should be submitted at http://ghostpool.ticksy.com

Thank you very much for your response, I have contacted buddypress community for support.

Regarding the submitting questions in the support forum I am still having problem signing up.

Regards,

Any signup issues should be fixed now. What error message are you receiving?

hi i’m thinking to buy your them but i got a quiestin. Is your theme compatible with usersultra plug-in?

http://usersultra.com/uultra-testing/profile/ali28/

Hi there,

Unfortunately the theme has not been tested with this plugin so I can’t see whether it is compatible or not.

So theme compatible with user pro plug-in? any plug-in?

There are literally thousands of plugins out there, so unfortunately I cannot test the compatibility of anywhere near all of them . This is especially true with premium plugins like UserPro, which I would need to buy before testing.

The theme is compatible with BuddyPress, bbPress, WordPress SEO and WooCommerce. It will also work with most other popular plugins.

something wrong with the update? the new version, broke my site. activity page trying to load all activity!

Hey Team GhostPool,

I have been trying to post a question in the support forum, but when i enter my Item Purchase Code, which i have obtained from here it gives me error saying “Envato purchase code you’ve entered is not valid”

I have tried entering the code with and without hyphens.

My question is that I am trying to create a “my account” section above the navigtion so when the member is logged-in they can click on “my account” the user/member should be able to view their account and be able to edit it.

How can I achieve this ?

Thank you, very much

Hi there,

Hi

I’m just trying to find my license number for Buddy (which I puirchased in August) because i need to raise a ticket with GhostPool.

I’ve tried looking in the zip file, the link given by GhostPool doesn’t match what I see on ThemeForest.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

Hi

Today Buddypress 2.1 is out. Can we update or the theme needs any modifications and we should wait?

Thank you

Hi there,

There’s no major issues when upgrading to BuddyPress 2.1, but some minor things need to be address so I would wait until the next theme update which will be out shortly. :)

Can I customize the homepage? My forums will all be private and I don’t want to show recent posts.

Hi there,

This is explained in this section of the help file: http://ghostpool.com/help/buddy/help.html#homepage

Please note that if you have any support questions these should be submitted at http://ghostpool.ticksy.com

Is there a way to remove all the custom excerpt settings/hooks from theme ? I’m trying to parse html in excerpt using this , but it’s not working (no parsing , just plain text in < /p/ > tags ) . As a note , it works with other themes ,which probably use the default values from wordpress . I browsed the theme files , and saw some mentions in functions.php , but no idea what to change there :asleep: .

Tried to send a support ticket instead, but apparently it requires some purchase code (?!) ; sadly , the only thing i got from client is ftp acces.

Hi there,

You will need the purchase code from your client, otherwise I have no way of verifying if you or your client has purchase the theme.

For your client: To get your purchase code please go to your Downloads page on ThemeForest and download the license certificate. Open the license certificate in a text document where you will find the purchase code as shown here: http://ghostpool.com/resources/images/purchase-code.png
