The review template says “food” as one of the rating options. But I don’t always want to see the word food. How do I edit?
Hello David,
you probably mean the change that is described in this documentation: https://www.ait-themes.club/knowledge-base/how-can-i-change-items-slug-and-slug-of-other-custom-post-types/
Best, Zlatko
Hi !
I may need to know several things
Is it now possible to login before reviewing (and make it mandatory)
If not, how can I prevent multi reviewing ; I know there some limitation with the IP adress, but how long does it last (regarding cache flushing)
Many thanks
Hey there!
thanks for asking. Login functionality is not finished yet, it’s coming soon. Limitation by IP addresses is valid for a 1 day.
Best regards, Zlatko
Thanks for your answer !
Is it possible to upgrade this limitation for 2 days or more ? (I mean by the code)
Hey there,
you can made customization, no limitation.
General support covers mainly finding of solutions for problems in theme and help users use the product, if there is a bug we’ll fix it as soon as possible. Unfortunately we are not capable working on user’s custom websites. But we have created and keep working on adding knowledge base, please kindly have a look at: https://www.ait-themes.club/knowledgebase/
Best regards, Zlatko
Any update?! ???? Yes I’m desperate !
I would like to buy the theme for a customer of mine.
I’d need to know if the login functionality has ben implemented – and more : would it be possible to show the rating only if logged in ?
Thx.
Hello Jerome,
thanks for your interesting in directory products.
Login functionality has been implemented, users who are interesting to post the review must be logged in (when enabled this function by admin).
Secondly, show rating only for logged users functionality is not available and currently we do have in our plan within coming weeks.
Best regards,
Zlatko
Hello
It’s about the rating plugin, i would like to add one or more fields with dropdwon menu, is it possible ?
Thanks
Hello Mac,
the maximum of questions you can set is 5. Anyhow i am not sure whether i have understood you correctly with dropdown menu. Should you have further questions, please check also documentation at: https://www.ait-themes.club/documentation/#item-reviews-plugin
Best, regards, Zlatko
How to make evaluation could bet only the registered members?
Zdravstvujte Stanislav,
thanks for asking. It’s a feature that is no currently available. But, we have a plan to create it and release within one of coming version.
Best!
Zlatko
Is it not available yet?
I’m really really sad and upset because reviews without reliable identification are not useful. Who will trust? Now that I have the entire project completed in yours template i’m suffering. They will take to provide this function as it is expected? Urgent please!
Hello Issis,
the previous planed projects with higher priority caused that we had postponed adding mentioned functionality. We are really sorry for that, as mentioned before -> we have already started, but had to stop for some time. It’s hard to say an exact datum for the moment, we are lack of capacity and people anyhow. We’ll reconsider your request and make decision. Thanks for your patience and understanding.
Best regards,
Zlatko
I even feel ashamed for having believed and purchased a product by imagining a committed team. I did not think a major failure that since they are experts in directory themes. I can not imagine what could be more important than ensuring that the subject of you is functional for your customers. Since without the guarantee of genuine reviews the business is not worth ANYTHING!
Hey Issi,
we are very sorry for that, should there be the more requests, we’ll reconsider it definitely!
Best regards,
Zlatko
I support ISSI message about reliable identification. I would add that the owners of items should be able to publicly respond to reviews. This will increase the impact and authenticity of reviews.
Hello Paul,
thanks for your offer, we’ll consider it and make decision. If interested, we will contact you directly.
Thanks for your patience,
Best,
Zlatko
Hello Zlatko,
yes, of course, I’ll be glad to discuss with you any ideas and offers. You make a great product, but it’s not ideal. I will be happy to help you.
Hello again,
feel free to post your feedback here, we’ll definitely re-consider it. Looking forward for your reply.

Zlatko
Hello,
Do you know when this update will be out ?
It is a must have for the client and we have been waiting for the rollout and was hoping it was the 1.31 update.
If you could let us know it would be much appreciated.
Kindest regards,
Samuel Rose.
Hello,
thanks for coming back on this. Basis on many customer requests we have decided to upgrade the plugin, for the beginning with the following functionality:
enable/disable of user with registration before posting review.
Obviously we do not offer any additional services related to customer’s websites.
Thanks for your understanding.
Best,
Zlatko
Regarding enabling user with registration for posting review I suggest to make quick authorization/registration of user with major social networks (say, Facebook, G+ and something else)
Hello Alexander,
thanks for your idea. We are intended release new plugin version with registration of user in a common way.
Best regards,
Zlatko
Please also add ‘Leave a Reply’ funcionality in this plugin.
Hello Alexander,
thanks for your idea. Adding new features depends on customer requests and our planning. Anyhow, we re-consider it and make decision.
Kind regards,

Hi
I am using this rating plugin on my website.It rates well but i want to add a functionality in which the most rated listing in terms of star should come on the top and then below it of less star rating.Please help me

Hello!
Is it possible to disable the reviews for individual items or categories?
Thank you!
Hello Andy,
thanks for asking, yes it is possible. For detailed info please have a look at: https://www.ait-themes.club/documentation/#item-reviews-plugin
Best,
Zlatko
Many thanks for your response!
I have looked at the screenshots for the settings for categories, items and plugin item reviews and have not found the option to disable the reviews for individual categories or items. Is this really possible? This is very important to me.
Thank you!
Hello Andy,
thanks for coming back on this. I apologize for my misunderstanding of your previous answer. It is not possible by default, you can hide any part of the theme /or element/ by performing customization of the theme via CSS: https://www.ait-themes.club/knowledge-base/hide-parts-of-website-via-css/
Thanks for understanding.
Best, Zlatko.
This plugin has spam protection?No captcha, no IP filters, no writing reviews limits per time, nothing…
Any visitor or user can write a few hundred negative or positive reviews without any control.
The owners of the competing companies will artificially lower the ratings of each other (if pre-moderate mode switch off). As a result of such action the site owner will spend a lot of time to sort/delete reviews.
This is a very important point. So, it is very good plugin, but useless. Please add functionality that will reduce artificial speculation rankings.
Best regards, Paul.
Hello Paul,
thank you for your ideas, we’ll definitely re-consider it and make decision,
Best regards,
Zlatko
Unfortunately the AIT company only think : “how can i eat all money of my clients, eat thus eyes?” It’s our reality. It’s always the fake smile “thank you for your ideas, we’ll definitely re-consider it and make decision,Best regards,” but is it NOT true. And if you ask they will say: “it’s your problem, hire somebody at fivver”. But if is it so simple why didn’t you did for your clients AIT???? PAUL STRANGER read the old comments here… everybody ask for this feature.But AIT is **** for us clients.
Hello Issi,
Thank you for taking the time to tell us why our service failed to meet your expectations.
We value your business, and would like to address your concerns as quickly and correctly as possible. But, we are really sorry, there are still some other projects with highest priority etc.
I understand your frustration, and I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience we have caused you.
Please know that I will personally be handling your case, and will be in contact with you on a regular basis, until this issue is resolved to your satisfaction.
Thank you for your patience.
Have a great day!

I run 2 directory sites and my other site is built using Point Finder, I’m amazed that I have to keep paying for what they consider basic functionality. How can you build a listing theme and then make Reviews a separate paid for plugin.
Hello Andy,

And yet, from that time you’ll have an option to renew always for the 99,-USD. You’ll get an access to all products from the date of purchase.
Best regards,
Zlatko
But I already bought for 300 $, now to upgrade would pay 99 $ or do you have a different value for those who have already paid 3x this amount?
Hello,
each package is valid for a 1 year. The price of product includes:

Question #1: Are all the 25 plugins for the Business Finder Theme+?
Question #2: When it says get all 67 themes. Does that mean the $89 offer you have on your site is for the Business Finder+ theme? If so, should I just buy it here instead of Theme Forrest.
Please let me know asap.
Thank You,
Jeremiah

1. Is it possible in reviews that item receives a mail informing them of new review?
2. Is it possible for item to respond to review?
3. How come when I switch between users (and logout as item login) it takes up to 5-10 minutes before message that user is editing is gone. Looks as if something is cached a long time – I have no caching plugin but do have wordfence.
4. Is it possible that admin can assign events, specials offers and posts to all items and not just own items? Now I have to switch back and forth if user has forgotten to add item location.
5. How can I add yoast to items, events and special offers in easy admin?
6. Will there be an option in future for categories in special offers
7. I would love to buy the foodmenu option in my eventguide theme. Would it be possible (in future) to add this?
Thks Janneke
Hello Janneke,

Hi,
I am considering your reviews plug-in to use on a project using the Business Finder+ theme that I plan on launching around October. At the moment the plug-in is missing a couple of really important features, but since my site won’t launch for another four months I am hoping that some of these features may be added later in the year.
The features I really need are:
1) I need the ability for the owner of a reviewed business to respond to a review. This is a legal necessity and I would most likely either hold off on launching my site with reviews or pay for custom development to add this feature. The best way to handle this is for the site admin to be able to enter the business owner’s reply manually in the admin area. This way the business owner would email me and I would enter the reply myself. This would be easiest for a developer to implement and is preferable to having the business owner add the response themselves as it prevents people from abusing this feature.
2) The review needs to support rich snippets so the review and rating shows up in Google search results.
3) Spam protection. The plug-in has to have protection in place to prevent spammers from abusing the review process. ReCaptcha is a good start, but there also needs to be a way to prevent someone from submitting multiple reviews in a short time frame. Restricting reviews to people who have logged in with their social profile is even better.
The above features are really essential. I could run the site without the rich snippets (and even without spam protection) for a few months, but it is absolutely essential to have the option for me to post a business owners/managers response to a review. Having this feature will protect me from being sued for defamation should someone post a defamatory review.
The features that I would like to have, but aren’t essential from the start, are:
1) The ability to log in using social login. That is the option for users writing reviews to log in using their Facebook, Foursquare, Google or Twitter login details and have their user avatar pulled in from their social profile giving the user the option to post the review to their social network.
2) Display a Gravatar for users who choose not to log in with their social profile.
3) Allow users to comment on a review. It would be great if there was the option for a threaded conversation below a review.
4) Displayed below the user reviews, it would be great if you could post “Reviews from other sites” with reviews pulled in from Booking.com, Foursquare, Google, Tripadvisor and Yelp using those sites’ APIs. This would involve the site admin entering the property ID for these external sites when adding a new item. The site admin should be able to choose which of these other sites to display reviews from, ideally on an item-by-item basis. This would be a brilliant feature as it would bring in instant content making it a great option for a brand new site. I understand that this is potentially a major job and would may work best as another plugin.
It would be great if you could consider some of these ideas, particularly the option to post a business owner’s response to a review and some spam prevention measures.

when purchasing the theme BusinessFinder2 is the AIT Elements Toolkit Plugin included in the price or should it be bought separately?
Hello Mira,
thank you for interesting in Business Finder+ theme. Yeah, Full version of the theme includes AIT Toolkit plugin thanks to which the theme comes with pre-made custom post types, Elements to show them in Page Builder, search form with full functionality, etc.
Best regards!

We have purchased Business Finder+ and had purchased item-reviews plugin previously – we need to install it again, do we have to repurchase it, or can you send me a download link?
