Typist – WordPress Theme for Serious Writers download

Hi there,

I’m afraid we haven’t tested the theme with BBPress, so we can’t guarantee full compatibility with the plugin.

Hope that answers your question

Thanks

Is there even a chance that it might be fully compatible, or a chance to get the money back if it isn’t?

Thanks again

You may try contacting Envato here if this is possible. Unfortunately we have no control over the refunds.

Cheers

It seems like I am being sent in circles, which doesn’t feel good considering that I am a potential customer and all I’m really seeking is reliable pre-purchase information.

Envato tells me:

“Due to the digital nature of our items, we can only offer a refund if the item is verified as being broken, misleading or malfunctioning. So please make sure a file is right for your project before downloading, as we may be unable to assist you.”

So now I am basically back to square one. It is YOUR product, so you should know best what it can or cannot do. Instead, you are telling me to pay for it, try it, and if it doesn’t work for me, I’m screwed. That’s not very nice, or is it? So either you’d have to guarantee that it works with Buddypress, then I can try it and if it doesn’t, it means I can legitimately apply for a refund.

Or you test it yourself and tell me the results.

The way it’s now, it seems like you actually don’t think it’ll work, but somehow hope I’ll buy it anyway as long as the info I get is ambiguous enough. Personally I don’t think that’s a very good approach.

Hi themegump,

I’m sorry we missed your email. I’ll try to clarify this.

“bbPress 2.x has built-in theme support. All required elements such as front-end editing are included. This means that all functionality will work, even when a theme has no specific bbPress templates or code included with it.”

That’s a direct quote from the bbPress website. Basically bbPress has everything included to work with every theme without any additional code. Since we adhere to all WordPress standards this should mean that bbPress works with Typist out of the box.

However, since we haven’t tested Typist with bbPress and are currently unable to do so I’m a little hesitant to fully promise everything will work. I’m saying this mostly with regard to the design: bbPress might look fairly different from Typist without some additional styling.

Functionality-wise however, everything should work just fine. It’s just the design that may look different from the Typist look.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions!

Thanks, Daniel

EDIT: Just to follow up on this: In your first comment you mention bbPress, but in the last one you said BuddyPress. Which one are we talking about here?
