Hi,

Thanks but I’m trying to reduce plugins and I’m contacting the developers to fix their products.

Plugins that reduce/min css etc also use unnecessary resources that are avoidable.

I also tested my site on https://gtmetrix.com and Parabola has a number of coding issues which would be great if fixed…

Check the YSlow on the test and it reveal fixes.

Would be great to get these sorted out by yourselves as if we do it, it will go back on every new update…

Thanks again for a great theme! Been using this for ages!

Hey, any possible way to implement this?

Have you managed to implement any of the above?

??

Hello?

Happy new year!

Hi any information on this?

Any news on this being added?

I also thought of another option. Where you implement a tick box… A lot of places ask for a donation before proceeding. So something where in order to check the box the donation must have been successful?

Hi, it’s https://www.theshiftmusic.com/my-events/ endpoint… Unless I’m logged in as admin I can’t add an event.

Hi thank you for your quick reply and as said your great plugin! Great to hear about the revamp. I may be able to remove half of my custom css! LOL.

I have devised a list of things that should undoubtedly be included in your update: I’ve got a lot of experience in improvement projects.

1. Click to Update profile / logo / background / header AND Media files instead of going round the houses – also stay ahead of the times.. Allow gifs! (Think Facebook have spent millions doing their system and making it as user friendly as they can.) Despite millions Facebook still can’t upload gifs via PC though!
2. Use uploadable custom background.
3. Allow vendors to choose their layout AND ability to edit it (as well as admin). Obviously having default (which will look good anyway ??
4. Private message – not “quick info”! – which also goes into admin inbox to allow monitoring. With block function and admin overrule.
5. Allow users to add custom endpoints with custom images: remember WordPress is designed for people with limited coding knowledge – make it easier for all!
6. Allow custom tab option?
7. Most people – probably 99.9% of us do not want it to say vendor. But is there no way an option can be created to remove it completely?
8. Have option to change “Report Abuse” title
9. At certain times the the plugin takes away from the dashboard… Shouldn’t! There should be back buttons or discard on pages such as Add Product / Add Coupon
10. Allow non-vendors to have a dashboard (currently a subscriber has a WP dashboard and looks nothing like when a vendor signs up so there is no consistency.) This could also allow for become a vendor option to be on a page – you could also create a shortcode for this too.
11. Remove Analytics option for Vendors
12. Auto populate SEO
13. On WP > Users > Create a “View Shop” button which takes you the vendors shop. Like you have when you click into the user – noticed they do this on other plugins
14. Remove Title of shop page (top title) option.
15. Create slug without -‘s if includes spaces option.
16. Between Shop |Announcements – Put an extra space before Announcements
17. Option to auto add border around the square logo
18. On dashboard also have visitor stats! Very important to vendors how many people have looked at their pages!
19. If link is given to vendor’s page or copy and pasted in eg Facebook create the page with the square logo and description! Otherwise not professional.
20. Change “Message to Buyers” to optional rename or off.
21. When you view shop there needs to be an option to preview website.. that stays within the dashboard ideally.
22. Some of the boxes on the dashboard are not mobile friendly.. minor to tweak to ensure it doesn’t go off the screens. Well done on the rest though it is very mobile friendly!
23. Add extra Media File where a video would go and allow ability to upload and or use Youtube link on their page. Most sites have videos these days. Most people use Youtube.

The main thing from the above is just fully increase customisability. For vendor and admin with overrides. Let people choose what they want their tabs to be called and what appears and what doesn’t.

I hope you can appreciate it has taken me an hour to do this and you see where I’m coming from but I hope more that you implement them!

As I said I have much experience with this plugin, others and improvements.

PS I would launch mid-january – People are busy on New Years Day. I’m launching on 18.1.18 and using the two weeks for build up to it

Totally agree! It is an absolutely great plugin!

The only thing this is missing is a youtube link… I for one need it as some are self-hosted and some are youtube hosted… It’s not as simple as embedding because if a playlist is active the code will need editing and we’ll lose it all when you update it.

The only other suggestion I’d have is a “real time” playlist schedule using your current drag and drop style you have on your playlist creator.

A scheduled playlist would mean that everyone is watching the same thing at the same time without having a “live” stream. Eg. Admin can set a playlist that plays and changes to the next video automatically and if someone comes onto the site they wont be on video1 they’ll be on video4 like any others that have stayed on the site. I tbink this would a great feature too showing Current Time, Time Remaining, Time and title of next video coming up .

As I said great plugin and great that you keep fixing any bugs… would be good to see the two tweaks above to take it to the next level!

PS Keep up the great work!

Hi,

Thanks for getting back to me and informing your team… When you say it is based on Woocommerce I dont understand why this would matter… All you are essentially doing is if you click Cancel is you don’t save product and it returns back to the dashboard.

The idea of your plugin is to generally prevent vendors from having to use anything else other than the dashboard and the options around that. From what I can see everything in your plugin works this way but by not having a cancel button it leaves the only way to Cancel creating one is clicking the “Back” button on the browser… This doesn’t make sense… It should simply have a Cancel or Abort option which would then take it back to the dashboard.

From the other perspective you’ve also got to remember the people using this. I want it so that things are obvious… and everyone must be thinking where is the Cancel button… it’s on every other site / program. They won’t know to click back on the browser necessarily and they don’t want to create loads of drafts products.. (or coupons as that is similar).

They also won’t know, as you say, if the page gets reloaded it won’t save the data… So you stumble across another issue: Someone has spent 10 minutes and they either press refresh, f5, back or close window and it doesn’t give a warning that data will be lost… again a general thing that almost everything does.

It can’t be a big job either my website guy does it for me in 5 mins everytime the plugin is updated…

Please seriously consider my feedback, I rarely spend time doing any feedback, but this is great work you have done and I want to see it work well and continuously improve!

I understand that… but on everything you can possibly imagine there is a cancel, back or abort button … Why make a customer (which is what a vendor is to us) have to go through to the products and delete a draft… when they could just cancel… ? Alternatively… I would go one better and if the page is reloaded it SHOULD save a draft… so many times you might lose internet connection or spend ages doing something and I always find it great when at actually saves it rather than have to type everything in again…
