Hello all!
I’m new to the theme and the forum, I have to say I love setup of it and I’m enjoying getting going from using a different theme. I have a gaming site, MyGamesLounge.com but I am currently setting up the site as MGLmix.com while I get everything together.
I have a couple of questions/suggestions if I may.
1. Category descriptions. According to the SEO plugin from Yoast each category should have a 300 word description for good SEO (had no idea about this!). But this displays on the front end of category pages which is a bit much before any content.
Currently I have used the display:none css trick to hide it which is ok. Is there way to either a) use the read more tag to hide some of it but allow the user to expand it? b) Just display an excerpt from the text c) Use a toggle shortcode to expand more?
Could be an idea to make this a setting in a future update if we all need to do this long description for SEO.
2. Review Scores. At present, a review score is created by averaging criteria which is fine most of the time. But sometimes, especially for games you might want to round up or down by a few points.
Is there a way to display the overall score field on the post back end as an “override” option so we can manually type the overall score?
3. User review scores. More an idea, simply because its the one feature we are loosing moving over which is not such a big deal.
Have you considered in your updates adding the option for users to have an option to give their game score say, underneath the editors score?
Just a thought
Thanks
Ross
Hello,
Thank you for buying our theme and thank you for your appreciation.
1) Unfortunately there is no setting at the moment to add excerpt to the category description. I will add this request to our list and hopefully in a future update we will improve our category system.
2) and 3) At the moment the reviews have no functionality as you describe. You can maybe find a review plugin that overrides the theme default ones and maybe provide a few extra options. Unfortunately we have not tested any review plugins so we cannot say for sure which one will work best. Try out a few of them and see which one works out.
Thank you!
