So for those of us currently categorized in the now defunct BuddyPress area, how do we get our theme moved to a real category? Just selecting the BP options in the “Compatible With” section they’ll appear in the BP section. I was hoping to get moved back to the category I previously had my themes listed under based on it’s design/style.

The reason I always hated being in a BP category was buyers often asked, “Does this work without BP?”, which makes me think I’m surely missing sales to people who don’t realize it’s still a WP theme. I know I wouldn’t check the BP theme section if I just wanted a regular WP theme.

Now that we’ve fixed this who do I email to get moved back to a category?

Quick suggestion for expanding the list, bbPress.

It’s kind of a mixture of both here’s some more information. Within our current situation if an author submits a theme for a band or artist it would normally go under something like WordPress > Entertainment > ... But lets say the theme author decides to integrate social aspects using BuddyPress. Right now the BuddyPress option would take precedence and the file would go under WordPress > BuddyPress. This type of categorization lacks the extra descriptive information gained with our descriptive child categories. Additionally, it limits the theme to only being classified as a “BuddyPress” theme.

Where as under the new method, an author could submit that same theme into the proper category of WordPress > Entertainment > XXX and then attribute it with BuddyPress. But he/she could also integrate other services like WooCommerce for sales. So now you could have a WordPress theme that’s categorized based on description, and then using the Compatible With attribute, it could be sort of tagged with both BuddyPress and WooCommerce.

Another nice thing about this new method is the way in which our items are displayed. If a WordPress theme with both BuddyPress and WooCommerce functionality was submitted before, the author would have to choose one of the three categories to place their theme in. Now it could technically be displayed in all three.

Thank you. This is exactly what I suggested last year when you moved my themes into the new “BuddyPress” category. It’s a “category” that makes no sense. The exact example I gave was, what happens when you support 2 major plugins. I’m glad we made it to a proper solution.

I used a variation of the effect for my website built last summer.

I like the concept and wanted to keep the effect subtle so your focus stays on the content. I didn’t completely succeed. One issue I have is there are too many elements moving. That makes it look choppy on slower computers. It’s also not great on smaller screens.

I’m a big fan of horizontal scrolling sites when they’re done right, but this one isn’t. The graphics, colors, etc are all really great, but the scrolling effect is extremely sluggish and slow. The reaction to clicking the arrow or scrolling the mouse wheel should be a lot more responsive. It made the page frustrating to browse.

That seems excessive to wait a week for a response. Even if they’re “looking into it” I think you should have at least gotten an email from someone.

This one is great – https://victoriabeckham.landrover.com/

That’s exceptional.

Yes! I think this would be a great addition to the purchased flag.

It would at least save us the trouble of suggestions like, “Please make sure you’re using the latest version.”, if they bought the theme 2 hours ago.

I could make it to Nashville…. Of course I’m only a red paw so I don’t know if I’m invited really

Bahaha! Are red paws not really invited?? Cuz I’d be screwed! No way would I be above red by then!

I don’t think we’ve reached the point of “paw discrimination” quite yet. Envato meet ups should be paw color blind.

Make it Nashville and I’m there! That’s less than a 2 hour driving for me.

The later part of June would be best for me. I have plans for a few things in early-mid June, such as June 1-3, it’s my daughter’s 2nd birthday and I won’t be missing that. I also have plans to be in Florida with some friends for a beach week June 8-13. With those exceptions I’m available.

I understand it’s going to be when Envato staff is here/available so if I can’t make it no biggie, but I hope I can be there.
