Howdy Mr. GhostPool. I have three questions sir. First, I will need to connect to your developer for some customization after purchase. Second, Does this theme work with MemberPress? Third, does your theme support “Messages” also?

Hi there,

1) I do small customisations myself. For larger customisations please see https://www.ourwebmedia.com/ghostpool.php?aff=2

2) This is a BuddyPress theme, I have not tested it with MemberPress.

3) The theme supports private messaging with the BuddyPress plugin.

What notifications are supported in your theme? Will notification be displayed when there is a reply to a user comment in a blog?

Hi there,

Are you referring to users replying to other users comments in a standard WordPress post? If so, by default WordPress does not support this but you can use a plugin as discussed here: http://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-notify-users-only-on-replies-to-their-wordpress-comments/

Thank you for the reply. I am already using this plugin for email notification. But my question was regarding the front end live notifications which appear on the user’s profile button in the header menu. Will it display also answers on the user comments, or only friendship requests and private messages?

The notification dropdown does not display notifications about user replies to posts. There me be a plugin to add this as a notification – if there is, then this will show up in the dropdown menu.

can you give me a admin demo ?

can you give me a admin demo ?

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.

Is it possible to integrate woocommerce with this and retain all the supported features?

Hi there,

WooCommerce will work with the theme yes. What supported features are you referring to for example?

Has anyone worked in the Spanish Translation for this theme? Is there any starting point? / Alguien ha trabajado en la traducción al Español de este theme? Hay algún punto de partida?

Hi there,

There is no Spanish translation available you will need to translate it yourself as explained here: http://ghostpool.com/help/buddy/help.html#5

If you have any further questions please open a support ticket at https://ghostpool.ticksy.com

Love this theme! Great work. Any chance of SASS files in the future?

Hi there,

Thanks for the comments. There’s no plans currently for this.

Is there an option for making the page maximum width instead of a boxed layout on desktop?

Does it support having only 1 sidebar, or do you have to have a sidebar on each side?

Hi there,

1) No this is not possible unforutnately.

2) Yes you can use just one sidebar on the left or right.

Is there a way this can be used for a website with Membership levels? I would like it setup so that members can only register if they pay membership fee, with multiple pages restricted if they don’t pay membership fee

Hi there,

The theme will work with a plugin like Paid Membership Pro. But you’ll need to purchase an extension to set the member homepage and the theme doesn’t have the ability to restrict access to the site.

Hi, I have some pre-sale questions : How can I login to see my account dashboard can I on the demo? Do the theme provide Shop option where people can post something to sell and buy it on the site? Can the memer post a feed on the wall I don’t where to do that? Does your theme support social Media login? Does your theme support Woocommerce? Does your theme support multiple type post like in case the user want to post a photo, or more thing ? Thanks

Hi there,

1) Unfortunately not – you can see the same account dashboard on any theme with BuddyPress installed. :)

2) You will need to use a plugin such as WooCommerce with a vendor extension so users can add their own products.

3) Yes once logged in.

4) Yes. It’s been designed to work with this plugin: https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-social-login/

5) It will work with WooCommerce.

6) Are you referring to post formats?

Any demo that user posting images on their post?

Hi there,

Are you referring to users posting images in the Activity stream? If so, no, but there’s video examples here: http://buddy.ghostpool.com/activity/

Wow this is very clean and simple, btw I have active facebook group post everyday, is it possible to display some of facebook post in this theme? I seen once somewhere that if someone posting on facebook and you can see it too on your wordpress post

Hi there,

The theme doesn’t have this feature, you’ll need to use a plugin. Usually it’s done the other way round, you post it on you WordPress site first and then it’s automatically published to Facebook. Here’s a long list of plugins: https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/search/facebook+publish/

hi ı need this them but price a little high :( please promo code?

Hi there,

We cannot offer promo codes unfortunately and the item was only on sale recently. However take a look at my new theme Aardvark, particular the Community demo, as it’s currently on sale for $29.

Aardvark Theme: https://themeforest.net/item/aardvark-buddypress-membership-community-theme/21281062

Community Demo: http://aardvark.ghostpool.com/community

ı think this theme is better than the aardvark :( ı will wait promo … ty

Very interested in purchasing but have a few quick questions. On the demo, if I click “login” in the right sidebar I see the WP login screen (http://buddy.ghostpool.com/wp-login.php?wpe-login=true). Also, lost password shows the WP screen (http://buddy.ghostpool.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword&wpe-login=true). Can those show in the theme instead of showing the WP admin pages?

Also, I don’t see a “register” page to create a new account. Am I able to test a new registration and login as a member to see what they see? Thank you.

Hi there,

Not currently, this is planned in a future update.

The registeration page is disabled in the demo, I’m looking into setting one up in the dmeo shortly.

You may also be interested in my Aardvark theme (Community demo) which has both of these things: http://aardvark.ghostpool.com/community/

Did you fix this issue??? :) In the demo, it looks like I can’t get to a wordpress screen anymore, I can only see the login and register screens. If so, I’d like to purchase. Let me know, thanks!!

Yes. The theme now has full frontend ajax login and registration support, so you won’t see the backend even on a failed login attempt.

Hey,

I have a few pre-sale questions.

1. Because this theme is created primarily for BuddyPress -plugin, is it possible to use Q&A plugin called “AnsPress” instead? The reason is because, AnsPress supports anonymous posting and the user-interface is very nice.

2. If it’s possible to use AnsPress -plugin instead, what kind of customization should I do in order to disable BuddyPress completely?

Buddy -theme looks very good and I’m very interested to hear whether it’s possible to integrate AnsPress and this theme together.

What a massive theme! I just purchased and activated theme. Such a nice work! Five stars! 5/5

By default BuddyPress does not have this feature, but there’s a plugin that offers this functionality here: https://buddydev.com/buddypress/introducing-buddypress-anonymous-activity-plugin-allow-users-to-post-activitycomment-anonymously/

I’ve not tested it, so I suggest testing it yourself on your BuddyPress installation. If it’s working with the latest version of BuddyPress then it should work with the theme.

Thank you for reply. Actually bbPress allows posting anonymously and BuddyPress isn’t necessary for me so I disabled it. I’m happy to say that this theme covers all my needs and after countless hours of searching good theme, I feel satisfied for finding this awesome theme. Thank you!

hi there, we’re going to buy your theme to build a new awesome community, but we’re thinking about the possibility to have also a mobile app for android an universal app for windows. what do you suggest to do that with buddypress and your theme?

I’m not familiar with any WordPress theme to app plugins unfortunately, this is not my area of expertise.

i understand your point, we just want to be sure that buying your theme we can use ii with wordapp to build an android app. may you give us a feedback about this?

As I say I am not able to do this as I have no knowledge of this plugin and don’t want to say it will work when I really don’t know.

how can be able to allow users to change profile picture and the cover without using WordPress bar?

Hi there,

It sounds like you need theme support. Just so you know the ThemeForest comments area is a dedicated place for people who have not yet purchased the theme and want to ask pre-purchase questions.

If you are looking for theme support, please sign up to our support site at https://ghostpool.ticksy.com or browse our articles at https://ghostpool.ticksy.com/articles which contain many detailed answers to frequently asked questions.

Pre-Sale question: Can I customize a different homepage for Mobile?

Hi there,

Not by default. You’ll need to use a plugin to show different content on mobile devices e.g.

https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/wp-mobile-detect/ https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/wptouch/

Finally, does this theme work in such a way that only members can see some posts? Is it able to be configured to be that confidential to only members? Thanks.

I’ve answered this in your other comment. :)

Problem solved. Buddy plugin, got version 2.1.2. Should I and how I can update the plugin?
