Hi, I have a valid license for this theme but I am seeing this at my admin backend, “Your lifetime license is valid, but your subscription has expired. Renew your subscription to restore access to built-in updates, security patches, and priority support.”. I did not know there’s a subscription fee for this theme. So does that mean this theme will no longer be updated? Can you kindly explain? Thanks

Hi,

No worries, your lifetime license is still fully valid, so the theme will keep working.

The message just means your support and automatic updates period has ended. You can renew at any time to reactivate support and automatic updates.

Here’s a short video that explains how support works:

Hello,

I have around 20 WooCommerce websites with very similar plugin and settings setups, but only the site using the Retailer theme has this issue:

- When a specific user logs in, the WooCommerce store pages automatically switch to “Coming Soon” mode.

No “Coming Soon” or “Private Store” plugins are active.

Activity log shows the Cart page being modified at the time of login, which seems to trigger the visibility change.

This problem has been present for quite a long time.

Since the only site affected is the one using Retailer, do you have any ideas what element in the theme could affect WooCommerce’s “Site Visibility” / Coming Soon behavior?

Thank you!

Hi,

Hallo! Ich habe jetzt den neuen Retailer installiert, aber ich benutze immernoch den alten laut meinem System:

1.Dein Theme (The Retailer) enthält veraltete Kopien einiger WooCommerce-Vorlagendateien. Diese Dateien müssen ggf. aktualisiert werden, um ihre Kompatibilität mit der aktuellen Version von WooCommerce zu gewährleisten. Vorschläge zur Problembehebung:

2.Aktualisiere dein Theme auf die neueste Version. Wenn keine Aktualisierung verfügbar ist, wende dich mit Fragen bezüglich der Kompatibilität mit der aktuellen Version von WooCommerce an den Autor deines Themes. Wenn du eine Vorlagendatei kopiert hast, um etwas zu ändern, musst du die neue Version der Vorlage kopieren und deine Änderungen erneut übernehmen.

theretailer/woocommerce/archive-product.php Version 3.4.0 ist veraltet. Die Hauptversion ist 8.6.0, theretailer/woocommerce/content-product.php Version 3.6.0 ist veraltet. Die Hauptversion ist 9.4.0, theretailer/woocommerce/content-single-product.php, theretailer/woocommerce/emails/customer-completed-order.php Version 3.7.0 ist veraltet.

Die Hauptversion ist 9.8.0, theretailer/woocommerce/single-product/up-sells.php Version 3.0.0 ist veraltet. Die Hauptversion ist 9.6.0, theretailer/woocommerce/single-product.php

Ich habe es schon oft runtergeladen und installiert, es zeigt immer wieder das gleiche an.

Was muss ich machen? Können Sie mir bitte helfen?

Wenn ich ein Setup mache mit WooSwatches – Woocommerce Color or Image Variation Swatches dann bricht der ganze Shop zusammen und ich komme nichtmal ins Backend.

So, ich habe das alte Theme löschen können und nun hat er das neue genommen. !!!

Great!

Hi, there’s no purchase code for free downloads, so you’ll need to buy a license.

Cheers!

After install i got a message: “Your theme (The Retailer) contains outdated copies of some WooCommerce template files. These files may need to be updated to ensure compatibility with the current version of WooCommerce.” I have WP 6.8.1 version.

Hi, please update to that latest version of the theme.

Cheers!

A Vulnerability issue exists in Visual Composer (WP Bakery) version 8.4.1. They addressed it on 17.06.2025 – version 8.5. Will you be releasing an update to the theme soon so that this is addressed?

Hi, please update to that latest version of the theme.

Cheers!

I paid for my theme and my license so many years ago, an now you show a message than my plan has expired, you have to delete this message ¡¡Now!!, my client thinks every entry to admin panel that his theme doesn´t have license.

Hi, the message you’re seeing won’t disappear until you manually dismiss it yourself. Cheers!

Hello,

I downloaded this theme for free from Envato under a Standard License, but I did not receive a license number. What should I do?

Thank you in advance for your response.

Hi, you can always access and download updates directly from your Envato account.

If you prefer to use built-in updates (automatic updates), you’ll need to purchase a license and you’ll receive a purchase code.

Let me know if you have any other questions — happy to help!

Cheers!

Hi, After update to v6.0, I can activate the licence I bought about 4years ago. I got the message “License Error Failed to connect to the license verification service. Please check your internet connection and try again.” Any ideas? Thanks!

Just working with a new client who is using this theme and wondering what the significance of this string is and why you inject it on the homepage on websites?

There’s an issue with the categories. I bought the retailer theme since 2019. This is the only time, I just decided to use it I found that there is a bug with the category filter. Here is a screenshot of the shop page showing the categories issue. https://imgur.com/a/XyPxkzG The products are supposed to show beside the categories not at the bottom. What can be do to fix this. Thanks.

I decided to use the “Vertical” sidebar style. But try to fix the “Horizontal” sidebar style.

Hello. I am trying your theme. Can I change the header altogether? I want to shift the logo to extreme left, making the header full width. Let me know if it is possible,

Hi, yes, this is possible.

Cheers!
