Description by Author

Socialize is a multi-purpose BuddyPress theme making it the perfect choice if you want to create a community or social network. So what is BuddyPress? Basically it’s a plugin that lets you create any kind of social network using WordPress, with member profiles, activity streams, user groups, private messaging and much more. Socialize has been specifically designed to make the most out of BuddyPress and has also totally redesigned bbPress so it now looks like a traditional forum.

More Key Features

Front-end and Social Login
Socialize comes with its own login pop up form so your users never have to see the WordPress login page. It also works seamlessly with the WordPress Social Login plugin so your users can login via Facebook, Twitter etc.

WooCommerce Integration
The theme has been designed to look great with WooCommerce (ecommerce plugin). It also comes with a cart button in the header that shows the number of products added to the cart and a dropdown of the products added.

Profile Link/Notifications Counter
Socialize gives you the ability to add the logged in user’s profile link to your menus and add the BuddyPress notifications counter beside it so users can keep track of who’s sent them a message, friend request etc.

Multiple Advertisement Areas
Socialize allows you to add leaderboard ads in the header and footer of the site which are fully responsive. We also provide an Advertisement element that allows you to insert ads anywhere within your content or sidebar.

Multiple Page Headers
Select from 4 different types of page header including standard, large, fullwidth and full page. You can also add videos in your page header that play in the background and when clicked load a full video.

Sticky Sidebars Socialize comes with Theia Sticky Sidebar plugin (worth $18) that allows your sidebar to become permanently visible so it moves down the page as the user scrolls through the content. This great for ads and other information that you want to keep in view all the time.

Retina Ready
Socialize ensures your website looks sharp on high resolution devices by swapping normal resolution for high resolution images and utilises HTML5, CSS3, and icon fonts that don’t distort with larger resolutions displays.

Search Engine Optimization
Socialize is built with the latest SEO practices in mind. Semantic HTML5 for better search result placement, schema markup of all content, correct use of H tags, main content loaded before secondary content – we have it all covered.

Translation Ready
Socialize comes with translation files so you can easily translate your site into any language you want.

Portfolios
Socialize comes crammed with portfolio options. With multiple column and masonry displays, item filtering, different content positions you have everything you need to showcase your work.

Icon Font
Why are icon fonts so important? Simple. They are so easy to use, look great at any size and make your content look that much better. Socialize includes the Font Awesome library to give you nearly 400 icons to use throughout your navigation, paragraphs, buttons, lists, and just about anything else you can think about.

Clean Code
Socialize conforms to the best coding practices when it comes to HTML, CSS, PHP and JavaScript. We hate clutter and all our code is simple, clean and easy to read. This is especially important if you want to edit the code yourself. We’ve implemented the latest HTML5 and CSS3 techniques along with cutting edge WordPress standards to ensure that your theme will give you the best possible experience in terms of the latest web features and faster page load times.

Post Formats
Manage your blog posts better by taking advantage of WordPress custom post formats. The following post formats are included, each with their own unique style and options: Standard, Gallery, Link, Quote, Audio and Video.

Customer Support
We offer top notch support which means you will receive detailed answers to any questions you may have quickly. Trouble using the theme? Find a bug? We’ll solve it for you.

Create Unlimited Sidebars
Create unlimited sidebars that you can display on any page you want.

Child Theme
Comes with a child theme so if you ever want to make any code changes they will not be overwritten when you update the theme.

  • Customizability By digitalmarketingconsultingeurope, 2017-06-20 via themeforest.net I have been using Newspaper before as theme and its much easier and intuitive to custom the theme and browse in all the options compared to Socialize. I regret that i bought it and wished i would have gone again with Newspaper

    Hi there,
    I'm sorry to hear that. If you have any trouble using the theme you can always ask any questions you may have on our support site.
    I will also add, based on the ratings the theme has received nobody else agrees with this statement, which is why the theme is related so highly. :)

    Hi there,
    I would have been nice to be contacted about this so we could have looked into the issue to determine whether the theme was actually causing the slowdown, and if it was, provide you with some help on speeding things up.
    If you're interested open up a ticket on my support site at https://ghostpool.ticksy.com/

    I responded very quickly to the customer, and asked them to open a support ticket, but I'm still waiting on them to do this. I also asked them to contact their host as this is a server issue and they still haven't done this. The customer expects me to configure their server when theme support clearly does not include that.
  • Design Quality By dariodepasquale, 2017-03-13 via themeforest.net A well-made template, with attractive graphics, but for its social purpose too tied to BuddyPress and therefore devoid of native social system. So that, at the price at which it is being made, you could buy one really social. To compose a site well, in fact, it would be enough a good theme for free and free plugin BuddyPress ...
    Author response
    Hi there,
    I really appreciate your comments but I have disagree with everything you've written.
    1) Your first point is that the theme is tied too much to BuddyPress. Yes - of course it is - it's a BuddyPress theme! I make this super clear in the theme title and theme description. Nowhere does it say it has a "native social system". it clearly says this is a theme for BuddyPress. Why would anyone design a theme for the BuddyPress plugin which has it's own social system and then add their own on top of it. That would be ridiculous. People make themes for BuddyPress. It's an actual thing. Envato even have their own section for just BuddyPress themes, all of which are made just for this plugin and don't include their own social system. In fact you're the only user ever to make the point that a BuddyPress theme should essentially not be a BuddyPress theme and include it's own social system.
    2) In your next point it sounds like you've saying you could have bought a native social system for a similar price? I'm not even sure what that means? Where can you buy one? Are you seriously saying you could have hired someone to make a theme from scratch with a social system for $59? This would cost you thousands upon thousands.
    3) Lastly, you say the theme should be free. So you shouldn't pay anything for this theme, even though it took months to make, includes the Visual Composer for free, comes with sliders, custom BuddyPress functions, completely rewrote BuddyPress styling so it works seamlessly with the theme, has hundreds of custom of options, multiple layouts, ajax filtering etc. Really i'm just repeating the list of features on the item page. All of this should be free because the theme uses the BuddyPress plugin, just like thousands of BuddyPress themes do. The truth is this theme is way underpriced, any developer, and most customers, would tell you that. Just because a theme uses a free plugin does not mean the theme itself doesn't do anything - it does a hell of a lot.
