    Knowledgbase

    In the manual https://www.8theme.com/demo/docs/woopress/index.html#!/additional_questions_support you recommend the knowledgebase. The link doesn’t work:

    Hi,

    My client would like to have a Whatsapp Share button/icon added to the share-options. It’s being used a lot here in The Netherlands.
    It might also be great to have some theme-options management over the share buttons. We won’t use the Pinterest button for our shop.

    Keep up the good work!

    Cheers,
    Daniel

    Hi there!

    Suggestion for a small change. The theme have a little great feature called promo popup which can be activated via a link in the top bar.
    Please let us decide for ourselves what that link should be called. As it is now it is called NEWSLETTER, and to change that you have to change code in functions.php…There must be an easier way, perhaps in the promo popup settings…. 🙂

    Great work…Great theme!

    Sincerely Lennart

    Hello!
    In Rev slider I’ve noticed that we are forced to use a paragraph for every text line using padding and margin to obtain a correct visualization in Internet explorer 9. But I’ve noticed also that if you simply specify a line-height in the style it will work anyway. Am I wrong (this solution may cause other problems) or may be a simpler solution? Thank you!

    I have so many suggestions for 8Theme, I don’t know where to begin!! I’ve been using your themes for a long time and I still don’t understand why:

    1) We have to do this rename default.custom.css procedure. Why not just enable admin panel css overrides like all other themes. ALL other themes.

    2) 8Theme theme blog pages are very backwards. Please enable blog excerpt by default and not blog content so that people don’t have to do this silly < — more — > tag nonsense. it’s impossible if you are upgrading a theme that has 2,000 posts. Maybe you can offer option in Theme Options to display blog content on the posts page for anybody who really wants that.

    3) Your documentation is not comprehensive. It would be good if it actually explained what some features are instead of just ‘follow these steps to use it’. For instance when is it better to use Revolution Slider and when is it better to use Master Slider? Maybe that’s a bad example, but not everybody understands the significance of every feature. If each was explained they could make better use of the theme.

    Anyway, having said all that, your themes are very very good and generally great to use. You’re one of the best, but these above things are archaic and need updating.

    Hello TeeDev,

    thank you for your reply. We’ve taken your notice into our account and will try to improve these features in future release if possible.

    Hello soporteaddis,

    latest Woopress v1.5(May 19, 2015) does not have known compatibility problems with WordPress 4.2.1.

    I just purchased this theme and disappointed to learn that your admin panel has NO CSS/FONT customizations built in.

    we have to manually code any custom CSS changes in a file. Ive used MANY WP themes, and all the good ones do the work for you, not make the customer write hundreds of lines of CSS code to make the theme work.

    You need to go back and fix this if you ever want to be a top theme author.

    You can see the options here. It’s a million times easier.

    I have to agree with TeeDev.

    It seems a little unnecessary to setup the css that the theme makes you do. All other themes have a css area built into the theme options which is instantly accessible.

    Another thing is that there is very little ability to customize the header area. I would like to add a header background and a slogan to the header area but cannot.

    There is also very limited customization of colors and styles of areas.

    It is also very hard to find certain things. One of those is how to add social icons to the nav area. I cannot find this anywhere. The theme options can be compared to some other themes to see how it may improve.

    And much of this is NOT in the documentation area. The documentation basically lists a lot of things that we can already see but it does not explain them much. I have seen other themes do this. But it is really only a list of what we have. That can use an update.

    Also why is the theme not being sold on theme forest anymore? Just noticed that.

    Otherwise I like the theme.

    Thank you for this post idea. Good idea.

    My wordpress admin and end-user site was WAY slowed down by the WooPress theme. Inefficient code? Excessive AJAX pings? Whatever it is, it needs to be cleaned-up. Please and thank you!

    WooPress themes may benefit from an integration of support software such as helpdesk software, for example. Turns out the market is huge for this software, and CRM software as a whole is projected to overtake all other types of business software twofold in the coming years. It’s worth to mention there are still companies that use text-based software to log their information.

    It would be quite nice as a paying customer to be able to create a topic in this support forum.
    I have created a account and entered my envato purchase code, but am advised that I am unable to create topics.

    Since I have to gate-crash a topic to get this point across, this is probably the best thread to do it.

    Can someone sort this out pronto please, so I can get the support I require.

    Thank you.

    We are advised that the theme is fully responsive, this is not the case as certain aspects do not scale to devices.

    One such feature is the search feature in the header, it’s all messed up with the search button not aligning correctlyto the search box.

    With theme update 2.4 the pages are not fixed like previous versions, they move from left to right on a mobile device?

    For me I am going back with theme updates as new updates have more issues which take ages to resolve, theme updates and other areas of this theme need to be checked out fully before being released.

    Hi

    I have just used 2 weeks to fine out that it is really difficult to fine a Onepage Checkout plugin that works with our payment gateway AND this theme!

    The best plugin is: https://wordimpress.com/plugins/woocommerce-quick-checkout/

    Unfortunately, does this plugin not work with your design theme, the built-in Cart in the top menu can not be updated by the plugin.

    I hope that you could make the theme compatible with this plugin: https://wordimpress.com/plugins/woocommerce-quick-checkout/

    Best regards

    After 10 hours trying to get this theme to work I am going to abandon it.

    I concur with the other requests here….no point in adding all that CSS to make the header work, styles be responsive that should work in the first place…

    I just cannot be bothered waiting around for answers to basics.

    I will come back to it when it has had a new version with bugs fixed.

    Make WooPress compatible with WooCommerce GERMAN MARKET PLACE and WooCommerce GERMANIZE Plugin. I think this is essential to use the Theme in Germany… Because those Plugins make WooCommerce compatible to the german law. Without them wooPress is not very usefull for GERMAN online Shops (as long as they sell variants)…

    WooPress does not show variants because WooPress is using hooks that are not leagaly allowed because plugin vendors use those hooks. That is what those Plugin vendors told.

    And compared to other Themes its just WooPress that does not work with these Plugins.

    🙁 sad. very sad

    I strongly suggest to make WooPress compliant.

    Hello,

    Recommendation: when swithching between different versions of the theme woopress: add the default version to import again and go back to that, if this is the one of interest.

    Hello, has anyone else had any issues when clicking on ‘read more’ within blog posts? I have a posts page set up for blog posts and whenever I click on the ‘read more’ button the post will load halfway down the page and will also open the mobile navigation moments later. Please can someone help with this? Thank you, Kieran.
