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 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

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.

Regards,
Stan Russell.

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.

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.

Add option turn off promo popup on mobile. More UX 🙂

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
Tonny

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, 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.

Hi!

Please add support for PHP7. All bigger premium themes have it now and it is necessary to exploit a WP Host’s possibilities.

When do you plan to implement it?

Can we have more header options please.

for example:

the two row headers – but with the ajax search!

// Show price near variation

add_filter( 'woocommerce_variation_option_name', 'display_price_in_variation_option_name' );
function display_price_in_variation_option_name( $term ) {
 
global $wpdb, $product;
if ( empty( $term ) ) return $term;
 
if ( empty( $product->id ) ) return $term;
$result = $wpdb->get_col( "SELECT slug FROM {$wpdb->prefix}terms WHERE name = '$term'" );
$term_slug = ( !empty( $result ) ) ? $result[0] : $term;
$query = "SELECT postmeta.post_id AS product_id
 
FROM {$wpdb->prefix}postmeta AS postmeta
 
LEFT JOIN {$wpdb->prefix}posts AS products ON ( products.ID = postmeta.post_id )
 
WHERE postmeta.meta_key LIKE 'attribute_%'
 
AND postmeta.meta_value = '$term_slug'
 
AND products.post_parent = $product->id";
$variation_id = $wpdb->get_col( $query );
$parent = wp_get_post_parent_id( $variation_id[0] );
if ( $parent > 0 ) {
 
$_product = new WC_Product_Variation( $variation_id[0] );
 
return $term . ' (' . wp_kses( woocommerce_price( $_product->get_price() ), array() ) . ')';
 
}
 
return $term;
}

//Replace the Variable Price range by the chosen variation price in WooCommerce 3
    add_action( 'woocommerce_before_single_product', 'check_if_variable_first' );
function check_if_variable_first(){
    if ( is_product() ) {
        global $post;
        $product = wc_get_product( $post->ID );
        if ( $product->is_type( 'variable' ) ) {
            // removing the price of variable products
remove_action( 'woocommerce_single_product_summary', 'woocommerce_template_single_price', 10 );

// Change location of
add_action( 'woocommerce_single_product_summary', 'custom_wc_template_single_price', 10 );
function custom_wc_template_single_price(){
    global $product;

// Variable product only
if($product->is_type('variable')):

    // Main Price
    $prices = array( $product->get_variation_price( 'min', true ), $product->get_variation_price( 'max', true ) );
    $price = $prices[0] !== $prices[1] ? sprintf( __( 'от: %1$s', 'woocommerce' ), wc_price( $prices[0] ) ) : wc_price( $prices[0] );

    // Sale Price
    $prices = array( $product->get_variation_regular_price( 'min', true ), $product->get_variation_regular_price( 'max', true ) );
    sort( $prices );
    $saleprice = $prices[0] !== $prices[1] ? sprintf( __( 'от: %1$s', 'woocommerce' ), wc_price( $prices[0] ) ) : wc_price( $prices[0] );

    if ( $price !== $saleprice && $product->is_on_sale() ) {
        $price = '<del>' . $saleprice . $product->get_price_suffix() . '</del> <ins>' . $price . $product->get_price_suffix() . '</ins>';
    }
