  1. For that price range, I would suggest you buy one of the themes mentioned above and if necessary, modify it to the best of your abilities. It’s unlikely someone creates a custom theme like those in your price range. Just look at the numbers: Nexxe sold 94 times for $40, that’s $3760. Chameleon Dark sold 93 for $30, that’s $2790. That should give you an idea of what such a theme is worth to the developer.
  2. Don’t worry, it’s not related to your file. I just used it as a recent example.
  3. When a file is posted here in the forums, the preview contains a “Buy now” link, but this link always results in “Something went wrong. Please try again”.
  4. It should work. But is is now cached, so the results might be confusing because they are not in real time.
  5. I would suggest you put the widget in the sidebar. You won’t have these issues there.
  6. It’s called “featured records” when you create it.
  7. Speaking of that: There seem so be another change, causing entry-level cloud customers to loose the ability to even install resources which are not from the Marketplace. From a developer’s perspective, that makes offering products outside of the Marketplace even less appealing.
  8. I knew the prices would rise with this site relaunch, but I expected more a generous correction for inflation for new orders (not renewals). But the changes are far from slight. And for people like me who have many licenses, it actually threatens my entire business, because the price change is multiplied by the number of licenses. And the new terms make it all even worse. For my oldest license, I had an upcoming renewal of $85 as the last payment in this financial year. Now that jumped to $310—well over 300%! Yes, it’s for 12 months, but I still need to pay it NOW without having earned this money through the site or even planned for it. And even if would manage with this one site, I certainly can’t manage it for 5 self-hosted licenses and their upcoming renewals. And it didn’t had to be this way. There is the established system of grandfathering existing prices while only charging more for new customers for example. Or it could be a slow transition that is announced a year or two in advance, so we could have prepared for it someone. Dropping these drastic price and terms changes on us like a bomb, effective and possibly charged immediately, was a bad move.
  9. Support topic for this Marketplace resource:
  10. See https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/topic/462418-if-testinstall-dont-take-renewal-payments-automatically/?do=findComment&comment=2859169
  11. Yeah, the “access pass” model makes perfect sense and would probably be fairly easy to implement, given that the subscription system is there already. In the end, an access pass works just like a subscription minus the automatic renewal.
  12. Trust me, no one missed that point. You just seem to brush over the fact that there can be reasons to force a person to register DESPITE them “likely not returning”. So? Because others do it, it must be the right approach? Are you really not seeing the objective logical flaw in that reasoning? And should we point you to a few of the hundreds of thousands of websites that DO require a registration? Do THOSE sites then equally prove that it is the right decision to force a registration? See how this type of reasoning doesn’t work? Good for you. Others have different goals. Yet, you want to paint it as if their approach must be based on “bad decisions”. And you assert questionable reasons like “inflating registration numbers”. Who said that was a reason? No one. So why do you assert it and put it out there? It’s dishonest! You ignore the reasons that people are actually giving you and make up your own reason for them, which you can then dismiss as bad. And you assert that forcing a registration cannot “serve a purpose”. Sorry, but that is either arrogance or ignorance. You assert that your approach and your opinion must be the only valid one – despite the millions of websites and apps requiring registrations who’s owners all apparently do not see what you see. Oh, that is simple: Because you might want the file. It’s just another trade offer. For commercial offers, it’s product traded for money. In the freemium field on the internet, it can also be file or service traded for registration. You decide if it’s worth it to you. If not, just move on. Just because the offer doesn’t work for you, doesn’t mean that the one making the offer has made a mistake. It just means you are not the right “customer” for their offer. If I walk through a mall, there are thousands of offers that don’t work for me. Yet, I don’t approach the store owners telling them they are doing it wrong, because their offers don’t match what the products would be worth it to me. That would be kind of ridiculous. Yet, it’s exactly what you are doing here.
  13. Which website? I checked the one in your signature. An og:image is in the code but calling it gives an “Access Denied” from Amazon.
  14. Which is easily fixed by selecting “Show records like articles” and then choosing a template—even a stock template. That results in a perfectly fine blog layout for the front page. I also now finally started working on a (commercial) Pages online course which will explain the app in ‘easy to consume’ videos. More details soon. That will remove the excuse of “it’s just too complicated to learn”. 😉
  15. If you install pages, you get a demo article section. For all intents and purposes, that works just like a WordPress blog.
  16. A CDN won’t magically make your size faster, especially if you already use Cloudflare. For speed improvements, you rather want to improve your website. I had a look and your site loads a huge amount of resources for each page load. Lots of images, lots of local third-party code, lots of external stuff from Google and Twitch. I would rather suggest to work on that.
  17. Not to mention that many WordPress installations don’t stay free. If you need anything more than the core functionality, you probably will need to install plugins. So you find one, but you will soon discover, that one feature you need is only in the paid version, which you need to buy from the developer’s website as a subscription. Add a couple of third-party resources and then it will not only cost a lot of money, but also be nightmare to maintain.
  18. It shouldn’t. But then it also wouldn’t update what needs to be updated for PHP8. As with any theme modifications, you would have to manually resolve these type of conflicts. It’s not an option and there are no plans to make it so.
  19. That was my domain a long time ago, but not anymore. You probably wanted to link https://opentype.space
  20. What exactly have you modified? The Pages templates weren’t changed. If they were, you would get an option during the update to compare the changes and decide. What did change was the plugin theme template. If you had changed that, then your custom version would remain until you click “revert” in the theme template editor. You can also see the changes there.
  21. The best option is to look at the corresponding file which sets these functions. In this case, this would be: system → Member → Member.php
  22. That wouldn’t work well within the editor. As a database or block template with content fed from a Pages database – that would be possible.
  23. There is no universal list. It depends on what is legally required in your country. There can also be distinction between business-to-business sales and business-to-consumer sales and there is an additional condition within in the EU about VAT ID numbers. But again, all of that depends on your country.
