I can’t seem to be able to access documentation

If you are not able to access documentation (you get redirected to My Account area), please log out and then log back in.

What does your License include?

License keys have been deprecated, you  should be able to download your themes, install them, and use them right away.

Your purchase includes a lifetime license for using the theme and one year access to support and updates. After that, support and updates require renewal.

You can use our themes on as many personal domains as you wish. All our themes are 100% GPL. We kindly ask that any installations to client domains have a separate purchase license so they can access support and updates separately on their own. 🙂

How do I renew my license?

By default all memberships renew automatically until you choose to cancel your membership. Keep in mind that a membership provides you full access to support and upgrades for the purchased year. If you cancel, but later wish to renew, you can update your billing information and renew within your account. You may also reach out to us anytime for help in renewing your membership. 🙂

Can I Pay by Credit Card?

I made a purchase before the pricing/licensing changes. What happens now?

If you purchased your theme before September 12, 2014, your license will be valid for 1 year from purchase. After that you should purchase a valid license key to receive updates and bug fixes.

I bought theme only. Can I buy support separately?

Yes. Here you can buy a support license to use our HelpDesk service.

How difficult are your themes to set up? What does the support include?

You will need an intermediate knowledge of WordPress. Our help centre is very comprehensive, we populate them with tutorials, video tutorials and theme specific FAQs.

For everything else, there is support. You can review our support terms here.

How many tickets does support include?

With a support license you will be able to send support queries in our help centre. We have a 5 tickets per month fair use policy with support. To see what support includes review the terms here.

Do you provide updates to your themes? What happens with bug fixes?

When you purchase one of our themes, you account that will give you access to updates and bug fixes for one year.

Back to top

 

 

Are you a web design agency?

No. We are not a web design agency. We can’t offer web design services to customize the theme to your liking. A WordPress theme is a canvas and cannot satisfy very specific needs. As much as we try to add more features, it is impossible to satisfy thousands of different requirements.

It is very important that you familiarize with what you see on the demo as this will be what you’ll get once you purchase the theme.

Can I view the back end demo of your themes?

Of course! When you land on a demo, click on the ‘View Backend’ button on the theme selector.

Back to top

 

 

Do your themes work with the latest version of WordPress?

Yes, our themes work with the latest version of WordPress.

Back to top

 

 

Which Browser version do you support?

We usually support the latest 3 versions of Chrome, Firefox and Safari.

We do not support IE6, 7 and 8.

Do your themes come set up like their demo sites or are they blank and need a developer to customise?

You will always need to install WordPress on your domain/hosting. Conference Pro, Fudge 2.0, Mondree, Khore, Vertoh, Tyler, Januas and Fudge have an option to populate the site with dummy data so that you can have them looking like in the demo.

Does my Theme purchase include PSD files?

No, we do NOT provide PSD files with any single or bundle theme package purchase.

 

 

Can I customise the theme color scheme to match it with my brand colors?

All our themes have editable stylesheets (CSS). Some of our themes offer full customization without opening the CSS, conveniently from dashboard. Some others offer preset color combinations.

Full Color Customization from Dashboard:
– Conference Pro
– Fudge 2.0
– Mondree
– Khore

Preset colors:
– Vertoh
– Tyler
– Fudge
– Januas

CSS editing:
– Event Manager Theme

Can I call Speakers something else, such as Performers?

Of course. You will need to edit some templates to achieve it though, therefore if you are not confident enough, we recommend to purchase support as well. We will guide you step by step on how to change the taxonomy.

Are your themes translation-ready with .mo and .po files?

Tyler, Januas and Fudge come in ready with translations and we can also provide .po files for both themes. Event Manager Theme doesn’t come with .po files for translation.

You can easily translate a po file with free software. We do not provide right to left compatibility.

Back to top

 

 

Are your themes multi-language?

Our themes are NOT multilanguage, i.e. no concurrent languages can be displayed. Nor they integrate with multilanguage plugins. We only offer translations for the .PO file. Any other multilanguage capability is not offered as part of our themes and our support does not include customization in this area.

Back to top

 

 

Do your themes provide registration/ticketing?

No. Our themes DO NOT have a native registration/ticketing system. We believe registration is a sensitive issue and it should be handled by dedicated plugins or services.

Conference Pro, Fudge 2.0, Mondree, Khore, Vertoh, Tyler, Fudge and Januas all work with Woocommerce, a free way to register attendees.

We integrate nicely with some third party services. See the theme comparison list to find out which systems are supported.

Do your themes work with WPML?

We cannot guarantee any of our themes working with WPML.

Back to top

 

 

Do your themes work with WordPress Plugins?

In general we suggest to use as few plugins as possible. The WordPress repository offers hundreds of thousand plugins, it is prohibitive to integrate with all of them.

Major plugins work fine in most cases but we cannot guarantee functionality when you install external plugins. Plugin support is something our support team won’t be able to help you with.

Back to top

 

 

Do you support Woocommerce?

Conference Pro, Fudge 2.0, Mondree, Khore, Vertoh, Tyler, Januas and Fudge all support Woocommerce. You can have a look at how the ticket selector looks on the demo and click on the bar ‘Registration’ -> ‘Woocommerce’

Back to top

 

 

Do you support Gravity Forms?

Fudge 2.0, Mondree, Khore at present support Gravity Forms

Back to top

 

 

How Does Your Integration With Event Espresso, Eventbrite, Xing Events, Tickettailor, Gravity Forms and WooCommerce work?

Our Integration with all the above theme providers goes as far as integrating the ticket selector. Items such as speakers, sessions and schedule will not integrate with those of the tools if offered. You can safely drop a ticket selector from any of the above services and be sure that it will correctly display on our theme.

Fudge 2.0 can pull Event Info and Tickets information from Eventbrite via API.

What version of Event Espresso do you support?

We only support Event Espresso 4. Our integration with Event Espresso includes only the ticket selector. Speakers, Agenda and Sessions will be handled separately.

Vertoh

Does Vertoh offer a registration/ticketing system?

No Vertoh does not have native registration. Vertoh does integrate with Eventbrite, Woocommerce, EventEspresso, Xing Events.

 

 

Fudge

 

 

Does Fudge offer a registration/ticketing system?
No. Fudge does not have a native registration/ticketing system. It integrates well with Eventbrite, EventEspresso, Xing Events and Woocommerce. You may as well integrate with other registration/ticketing services but extra styling may be needed.

Can I add Custom menus to Fudge?
No. At present you can only add anchors to the page section in the top nav menu. This is to keep the attention focused on the homepage.

Can add or remove the sections I see on the demo?
Fudge is fully customizable. You select what goes where on the home page. Everything is managed through drag and drop widgets.

Back to top

Januas

 

Does Januas support recurring events?
No. While Januas support multiple events, for recurring events you will have to set each event again for every new date.

How does Januas handle multilple day events?

The single event page shows the date the event starts. You can then display the multiple days of the event through the schedule widget that has a nice day breakdown. This is a good example (see Schedule on the sidebar), and extended version.

Does Januas offer a registration/ticketing system?
No. Januas does not have a native registration/ticketing system. It integrates well with Eventbrite. You may as well integrate with other registration/ticketing services but extra styling may be needed.

Can external users post their events to our Januas powered website?
While this is not the way our theme is supposed to work, several clients use it that way. By using posting privileges that WordPress uses you could get users to register and then access the event posting area of the dashboard.

Once again we do not recommend to use Januas this way as there may be unexpected problems we did not cater for. You will probably need external plugins to make the site work the way you mentioned.

In essence, it’s feasible but we do not recommend it nor we will be able to help of anything goes wrong.

Event Manager Theme

 

Do I have to purchase Genesis separately?

No. Genesis is part of the EMTheme package. Genesis is free to distribute as it is under GPL license. Genesis does not impact on the price of the theme.

Does Event Manager Theme support multiple events?

No. Event Manager Theme is meant for one event only, although it can be over more days. For multiple events, check out Januas.

Does Event Manager Theme offer a registration/ticketing system?

No. Event Manager Theme does not have a native registration/ticketing system. It integrates well with Eventbrite. You may as well integrate with other registration/ticketing services but extra styling may be needed.

Is Event Manager Theme translation-ready with .mo and .po files?

Unfortunately not. Only Januas and Fudge come in multi-language translations and we can also provide .po files for your own translations.

Does Event Manager have the concurrent sessions/tracks/multiple locations option like Januas does?
No. Unfortunately Event Manager Theme does not have advanced scheduling. For that, head to Januas (for advanced scheduling for multiple events) or Fudge (for advanced scheduling for single events).
