Hi! I get the following error

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 72 bytes) in /home/cmivietnam/public_html/wp-includes/post.php on line 4292

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.

Is it possible to have a demo of the backoffice ?

Hi there,

As with most themes sold here we unfortunately do not provide the ability to test the theme before you purchase it. The main reason for this is a demo would be editable by all users and as a result some users would completely ruin the theme and the potential buyer would then get a completely skewed view of how the theme works. When a reliable theme demo plugin is available, there are plans to allow theme testing.

You can view screenshots of the backend here: http://themeforest.net/theme_previews/8676079-gauge-ultimate-review-theme?url_name=gauge-a-review-theme

yeah… i’ve seens thoses screenshots. Well thanks for your quick answer anyway.

Is it possible to use only the post related images and videos in Hub pages..? its shows all the images and videos in a specific post. :(

Fixed.. :)

+1 for breadcrumbs because it’s great for users to navigate and has positive impact on seo.

Request noted. :)

Hi

Could you integrate as a new feature the ability for users who wrote their review, to edit their reviews (text + rating) if they need it (front end obviously)

That’s an important missing feature i think

Thank

Check out this, it seems to be a solution (for editing and deleting) part 1: http://voodoopress.com/edit-and-delete-posts-from-front-end-with-no-plugin/ part 2: http://voodoopress.com/edit-and-delete-posts-from-front-end-with-no-plugin-part-2/

Maybe it will help as the job is already done and there is just to “adapt it” to your theme (far beyond my abilities)

Actually it’s pretty common that users access the backend. For instance WordPress gives users access to the backend to edit their profiles.

Thanks, I’ll take a look at the links.

Yeah it’s common as it’s part of core wordpress, but i doubt anybody want their users to have access to wordpress back end even if it’s restricted (they just down know how to restrict the access) + one generally want to avoid that people know they use wordpress (personnaly access to back end is blocked for non staff members) in case the website goes beyond a simple blog project.

Thanks for looking at the links, let us know if you can do something with it.

I am going to add this is an incredibly well-built theme. It has a beautiful hub feature that is truly unique.

However, I want to offer some recommendations. There is little in the realm of schema markup and this holds the theme back.

The homepage is held back because of how it relies on the header where a slider is supposed to go. If it were changed and it was more of a static theme there or allowed more customization it would get that news site feel (like Game Spot.)

Markup is wonderful.

I am pondering an idea of a plugin or some expansion you could do that would Integrate the Theme with MyArcadePlugin. Which is a plugin that allows users to add Arcade games to their website (flash games and such).. It supports a custom post type and thus you could add it fairly easily styling and more could require some work… I am part of the Plugin’s team and if you needed to work on it to add it to your theme, I can help you setup with it just contact me here…. scotth0407@gmail.com

MegaMenu with posts would be a good addition.

Allow for a more flexible footer the 3D thing kind of tripped me out and is not that good for UX…

Add breadcrumbs not, support from another plugin you should add custom ones that fit the style of the theme and work across all the unique content on the page.

Have any questions about any of these you can use the email I provided :P good luck I might be purchasing especially if we can work out the integration issue since the next trend I am seeing is Arcade websites fusing into gaming and other websites and losing their own niche… Sad but needed to evolve

It might also be interesting to look into adding some sort of “Wiki” support as that is the only thing really missing…

There are some wiki plugins out there that might be interesting to integrate…

Hi there,

Thanks for the feedback.

You do not need to have a slider on the homepage, you can customize the homepage however you like. Here’s an example of a homepage header more inline with GameSpot.com: http://gauge.wpengine.com/home-5/

There are plans to add posts within mega menus.

The 3D footer can be disabled.

If breadcrumbs and the need for integration with the Wiki and MyArcadePlugin become highly requested I will consider adding these feature.

Hi, i just got a really urgent ticket, can you take a look please? since we are about to launch officially. thanks!

Its not the admin bar but the wordpress logo and the sign in register that shows in the left corner. i already installed this plugin but it also shows for non loggedin users

This is a general WordPress issue that you are having and is not related specifically to my theme. Unfortunately I cannot help you on such matters and I suggest you ask your question at http://wordpress.org/support

Question. Can a custom field for each game post such as Game Rating Categories be added easily? Would we need to modify the template in child theme? We want to avoid using tags since we plan to use those for genres. By rating I mean - Early Childhood - Everyone - Everyone 10+ - Mature - Teen - Adults Only - Rating Pending

Hi there,

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

Is it possible to have nested entries? For example, using your game theme, I might have a listing for a game developer that gives details on that developer and then have listings for all the games from that developer each with their own details. Some may want to browse by game type to go to the game itself or by the software developer. I know you can tag and link by developer but can it be some type of entry/listing with details about the developer?

Or an auto manufacturer. I might have an entry for Audi and give overall company details, but then have entries for each car they make with their own details. Someone might still want to browse by car type or by manufacturer.

Hi there,

This cannot be done with the theme unfortunately.

Hi

Pre purchase question.. Can I use this theme for movie reviews ?

Hi

Pre purchase question.. Can I use this theme for movie reviews ?

Hi there,

Yes you can review any type of content including movie reviews. :)

Hello,

Is possible to use only users score instead of site score and users score? Which plugin is used to score the reviews? I tried to vote and the user score wasn’t changed. Does it supports cache plugins like WP Super Cache for example?

Thanks

Could you please share some print screens of the backoffice?Specially how can configure the rating system.

Is possible to let regular users to create posts with a rating system? Or the rating system only works for pages? From the screenshots I can’t see any rating option for posts.

You can allow users to rate a hub (game for example) using the user rating box, or they can write a review from the front end form for a given hub e.g. http://gauge.wpengine.com/call-of-duty-ghosts/write-a-review/. Here’s a few screenshots of the backend.

Hi,

Any updates on adding Bulk edit option for post association this would be soooooo helpful.

Best

Hi there,

Unfortunately I have had no luck adding this feature. I haven’t given up but it’s not something that will be added anytime soon.

Hi, I want to point out one annoying thing. If the fields are Huub on Cyrillic, they will not work. To make it clear, make a screenshot. http://itmages.ru/image/view/2429478/392ca107

Hi there,

Bought this theme a while ago and I’m it works great!

I have one question though, is it possible to show the last user reviews in the footer?

Because when I show the latest comments, it’s not really relevant (http://bit.ly/1BZUlcH)

No prob, my bad ;-)

Hello! Thank you for the great theme. Please tell me whether it is possible to disable your theme creation of additional sizes of the same image?

I can give you some pointers, but you would need to make a number of changes to a lot of theme files which is beyond the scope of the free support I offer.

I understood you. Then probably best left as it is. Doubles images allow pages to load faster. I understand you correctly?

Yes, if you used the same image and just constrained the width and height rather than cropping it you could be loading a huge image when only a small version is needed. While cropping the image only loads the huge and small image versions when needed. All images are cached when viewed for the first time also.

Hi, No support today? I got some urgent tickets. Thanks.

Hi there,

Yesterdays tickets have been answered, patience my friend. I’m only one person. :)

Hey guys,

great theme, reminds me of some site, wink wink :) Anyways, will I be able to change the color scheme of the site (how easy can it be done), especially of the rating gauges?

Hi there,

Thanks! Yes all the theme colours can easily by changed from the theme options page, including the rating gauges. :)

Hey Dan, any update on the tickes from last week? I assume support will continue today?

Yes absolutely. I now have the internet and I’m making my way through the tickets now.
