Hi Adam, Look forward to getting the theme set up. I can’t figure out if it’s possible to do these things: - Can I limit a “free” (i.e. basic entry level) listing to show up on search results without allowing it to click thru to the dedicated listing page? (basically only to display the information that is picked up on the search result? - If point above is possible, Can I have a generic placeholder image show up as background of the search result box/card? Would this reference always the same image or would an image have to be uploaded for each listing?

Thanks! CU

Will do. Just noticed that you offer free support for only 6 months. That’s new… What happens after then? Thanks.

Hey, you have two options, purchase a new theme licence to gain access to 6 months of free support, or you can purchase a priority VIP support package.

Once Envato / ThemeForest.net adds the new support option we will be moving to that system, read more about that here: http://marketblog.envato.com/news/new-item-support-proposal/

Hi there,

the url looks like https://demo.astoundify.com/listify/listing-category/nightlife/ where i want it to be https://demo.astoundify.com/listify/listing-category/arts-entertainment/nightlife/

and…

instead of https://demo.astoundify.com/listify/listing/775-bush-street-san-francisco-ca-94108-united-states-golden-gate-hotel/ i would like to have https://demo.astoundify.com/listify/listing/hotels-travel/golden-gate-hotel/

I tried pulling it off by editing the permalinks in Wordpress category and job_listing_category , but no luck.

Please let me know where i can edit the slug / url / path.

Thanks.

Hi There,

First of all thank you for a great theme – I just bought it. I have one question about the listing. I’m using the teme together with woocommerce bookings / vendor but I would like to know if it’s posible to make multi price pr. product. Ex. real estate product should be able to book pr. day pr. week and pr. month.

Thank you in advance.

Hello

Thank you for getting in touch with us regarding your concern. Your question relates to the plugin WooCommerce Bookings and the question would need to be answered by the WooCommerce developers as they have in-depth knowledge of the plugin and its features. The theme “Listify” provides the styling for your website and does not handle any of the features such as eCommerce checkout, processing of payments, booking management etc.

If you have questions regarding the plugin please direct them to the developers of that plugin so they can assist you. Support for that plugin is provided in the following places:

WooCommerce Add-on Plugins Support: https://support.woothemes.com/hc/en-us

WooCommerce WordPress.org Support: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/woocommerce

I tried pinging Mike Jolley the developer of WooCommerce + Bookings but he was not able to get back to me today so I can’t reply to your question.

Adam

Hi Adam, Thank you for your quick response. It would be great if Mike Jolley could give his point of view on this matter?

thank you in advance.

Did you contact him? I have also messaged him.

Great Theme! One question; We have set up the homepage with a image grid just like the live demo. The taxonomy is region listing. The images shown in the grid seems to be randomly choosen among the images in the related listings. Is it possible to choose a specific static image instead? We are thinking of using an image of the city, similar to the demo.

Why do you not mention on the pre buying page that in order for the site to work like the demo you have to purchase WC paid listings plugin and Social login both coming to $120 (maybe more as I havent finished going through the set up guide.)?

Am I right in thinking this? What other paid plug ins do I have to buy for this to work like the demo?

These plugins are not required for your website to function and only needed if you require the additional functionality provided. There are many free and low cost alternatives. This is mentioned all over our pre sales page on ThemeForest and our support area, sorry if this is not clear?

Hi Adam.

I followed the installation guide and imported demo content but some links are broken:

All Account related pages are not working:

If I click on “Edit Account” I end up on your page https://demo.astoundify.com/listify/my-account/edit-account/

If you could get back to us ASAP on how much of this is achievable, as time is of the essence on this project. Your guidance or any additional advice would be appreciated, thanks.

Kindest regards Barry

Hello Barry,

with all respect, if you need all those features, we advise you to start a project from basics using a PHP framework. Wordpress will give you too much headaches and lots of plugins will make your website crawl.

The theme doesn’t have most of the features you are looking for.

All the best, Holobest Team.

You can email these privately to info@code54.co.uk thanks.

Any chance 3 & 4 could be done using plugins also ?

Hi, while submitting a listing, after category there is an option for additional field. However i noticed that all the values there relate to listings for restaurant,

Is it possible to customize the additional fields based on the categories selected.

For example suppose if a user selects automobile category while submitting a listing, can we display only additional files related to automobile?

This feature is not currently possible with the Listify theme but in the future you will be able to manage multiple submission forms and depending on what category the listing owner selects different fields will display.

Cheers! Adam

Presales questions:

1. Under the home page, I see ‘Recent Listings’ , can I list ‘Featured Listing’ where I can display 2 offers for the businesses- 1 FREE and Second Featured plan for an amount. Featured plan will have some additional features. But I am wondering where I can show these featured guys on the home page.

2. Do you have a sample blog post or any other pages which has all the ad spots shown? Are the ad spots responsive?

3. Will this support bbprss/ buddypress?

4. Are the logos under ‘As seen in’ section hyperlinkable?

5. Why doesn’t the single blog post show the author info (may be an author widget) and some post sharing option? I think this is very important for the blogs.

Thanks much in advance!

Cheers,
Pravil

Still waiting. I see questions posted after this gettign answered :(

Hello,

Before i think about purchasing this theme i would like to know a few things

1. Can it support a big number of markers? My website consists of at least 25000 listings. I already purchased another theme and it didn’t deliver the result it should. It was loading all markers at once and the whole system was reaaaaally slow. At about 10000 markers the load time was at 50 seconds which is terrible. Does your theme, somehow limits the number of markers that can be shown on screen, does it do clustering etc? I would expect an honest answer based on some facts (like a real website with many markers), because if this theme does not support this main feature, i will ask for a refund.

2. Can i use custom pins, for every category of listings?

3. Does it have a module or plugin or feature to upload listings from csv?Paid or built-in.

4. Is it easy to customize the frontpage or is not to be changed drastically?

5. Does it have an events management feature or plugin? Paid or built-in.

Overall you have done a great job guys. The theme seems really good.

Thank you very much and i am looking forward for your response.

Thank you very much for the quick response, Adam. I believe Listify covers preety much all i need from the theme.

p.s.: i also believe it’s crazy to try to present 10k listings, but some develop their themes, that way…

One more thing. For the mass upload plugin, the one that you proposed is the only one that can be used, or any other csv import plugin will do the job too?

Some users have used the WP-CSV import plugin with success

Ready to translate to Italian.

What’s your best offer to purchase it? :)

Great we are 90% complete with the Italian translation, only 10% to go!: https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/listify/translate/#it/listifypot/38334352

Cheers! Adam

Help Us Translate Listify!

Do you speak one of these? French, German, Dutch, Italian, Russian, Spanish or any other language?

We are looking for help translating the Listify theme into other languages, and so far we are making some good progress with the help of the ThemeForest community who’ve purchased Listify :)

Lets get Listify translated into as many different languages as possible so that more people can enjoy using the theme in their native language.

Get Translating

Thanks so much! Adam

Hey guys,

Great looking theme, already spent a few hundred extra on plugins and etc but well worth the money.

Just a few things: 1. Can the woocommerce booking product be automatically populated with the venue’s opening hours? It feels like an unnecessary double up.

2. I know this is on the roadmap but, a venue having multiple tiers (eg. basic only has a listing, premium has reviews, photos, premium+ has booking etc… )

3. It’d be great if there was a Book Now button next to submit a review at the banner of the venue if the venue had booking available.

4. The shop page lists everything, I’m almost tempted to delete it or deny access to it. I’m not sure exactly what could be done with that page but I think the experience needs to be improved.

5. Bug: When using the places plugin, the slug of the page defaults to the address instead of the venue name

6. It’d be great to have a “Open now”, “Closed until 5am tomorrow” or something similar to facebook pages above the opening hours.

Would be keen to hear what you guys think… I’d love it if you guys could add these but if I need to I’m happy to pay for these to be added to our website too (depending on price).

Thanks, Sam

1. This would be a question for the developers of WooCommerce Bookings, i’m unsure if they have the filters, hooks to make that happen, but I will attempt to chat to the developer, perhaps you could ping them also, if you send me an email directly we might be able to get some traction on the issue as we will be able to coordinate. adam@ username dot com.

2. In the future you will have more control of pricing packages and what fields display on the submission form, example the free package does not display image upload, video upload, limit text that can be input in the fields etc, or your idea :)

3. Great suggestion and something we plan on adding :)

4. We need to revisit the shop page, thinking we create a custom shop layout design that will display recent products, recently rated products, a way to search products by your location etc, any other ideas?

5. The wp job manager prepends the location to the permalink we made a bug report to the developers here: https://github.com/mikejolley/WP-Job-Manager/issues/333

6. Great suggestion and something we plan on adding :)

Cheers!

Thanks so much! Adam

Love your ideas shimatorabi ! These things are what a directory is all about!

They are great suggestions Adam! Hey Adam, is that ‘client showcase’ page far away? Where we can see how members have used your theme!

Dave

Hey they are great suggestions!

The customer showcase week be released in a few days/week as some of the designs are not yet 100% complete but as soon as they are we will update our sales page linking to these sites.

Cheers! Adam

Thanks Mate! Have a great day!

Hey Guys,

Wondering if you have a screen shot of what BBpress looks like with no styling? My client is busting nuts to have a forum system, but all the themes that have it are horrible. this is by far the prettiest directory theme!

Thoughts?

Z

We don’t currently have a screen shot of BBPress styling with the theme, but we are planning on adding styling support for BBPress in an update of the Listify theme.

I would recommend adding your email to our mailing list or follow us here on Twitter for theme updates & here on ThemeForest for our new theme releases.

Cheers! Adam

A functional feature that we would love to see implemented on Listify: (we posted this before as well)

Simple styling for bbpress.

90% + of the folks using Listify on real projects will inherit a a myriad of marketing advantages from the content and community building benefits that a forum provides (especially as the site goes through the challenging initial phase when seeding a site with content is critical for attracting an audience & forums provide an easy, interactive and engaging way of doing that) and currently…....as great as Listify is overall, the styling the forums inherit from the theme makes using it a liability as is.

I’m happy to pay to have it done privately of course as well – but in terms of a forward thinking feature that would be easy to implement, is very helpful on user generated content style sites and pragmatically will help a ton of people cultivate a real sense of community using your theme – think it would be a smart move to make.

Hello Ian, thanks for your message.

Got your suggestion and didn’t forget about it, and even added to Trello / Roadmap previously for discussion.

Priorities shift hourly and we don’t like to disappoint so I can’t give you an ETA at this time of when BBPress support will be added, but it will be added.

Thanks so much! Adam

Happy the priority with Astoundify is for speed and UX while adding features without sacrificing quality. Will it be possible soon to use image files for map markers and breadcrumbs for locations>sublocations?

woop i bought something

Great inline install guides :) Nice process

Sorry for the delay in response. We’ve been overwhelmed by the response to the Listify theme, thus far its been getting great reviews.

Markers are technically possible right now, they are just divs styled in CSS, so images could be added via CSS.

We need to hide the location field on region archives in a future update https://github.com/Astoundify/wp-job-manager-regions/issues/24

Thanks for purchasing the theme. I’m glad you like it!

Some Quiz

01.can i change home page ?

02.can i put all the option in search page even select in the home page ? (when you chose a category and search ,user goes to the search page. The category option doesn’t appear in search page)

03.can i on street view ? ( is it update auto when they have street view )

04.can i remove the Listing Owner widget ?

05.can i off the listening cover picture ?

1. Yes, the page is widgetized. Meaning you can move, add, change anything on the home page: http://listify.astoundify.com/category/199-widgets

2. You want to add tags to the home page search area?

3. Street view is not currently enabled, we are thinking of adding this option in a future update of Listify

4. Yes, you can remove this widget from the listing page: http://listify.astoundify.com/article/278-listing-author

5. What are you replacing the image with?

Hello. I want everyone to join but also want users who are not companies that can see those who were enrolled create. that can be done?

With WooCommerce you can enable site registration, we decided to disable it on our demo to prevent a ton of spam sign-ups. We will also be releasing a free WooCommerce plugin called “WooCommerce Simple Registration” that will allow a site owner to place a shortcode onto a page, and the only form that will show is the registration form along side the social login option.

When you have an account created using the WooCommerce registration form and not having to create a listing, anyone can favorite/bookmark listings.

Thanks so much! Adam
