General

We are looking for a technical WordPress tutorial writer with extensive knowledge and experience writing for a wide-ranging audience.

The right candidate must be highly capable using WordPress, including various themes and plugins. General knowledge of web development and web designing is highly beneficial. Knowledge of basic HTML is mandatory, with tutorials being delivered in .html format with detailed screenshots included. Command of the English language while maintaining an intriguing conversational and creative writing style is vital.

We are excited to announce an opportunity for someone to help us create tutorial videos for the Themify YouTube channel! We want to grow our reach with our online community, and ensure we are providing the best instructional videos in the form of screen recordings with voice overs. This will help us create clarity and awareness of all the features and elements our themes and framework offer.

If you’re someone with fluency in English, and possess a clear and professional voice, this may be the right opportunity for you. Please see the following for a list of requirements for this position.

A change that won’t come as a surprise to most of you will have our addons no longer available for purchase individually, but now as a bundle – cleverly named the Addon Bundle.

For many of you who are familiar with the pricing models of most WordPress theme providers, you’ll know that selling addons individually is a trend going out of style faster than crimped hair. It’s a change that will make everyone's lives a lot simpler (so you are not dealing with multiple purchases and license keys), and actually offers the best value for customers.

Post Type Builder (PTB) is an extremely powerful yet simple to use plugin, allowing you to create multiple different custom post types without having to write any code. From ‘Property Listings’, ‘Movie Reviews’, to ‘Dinner Menus’ or online ‘Recipe Books’ – you can customize your post according to your content’s needs.

Google Maps has recently discontinued their free map embedding service and is now moving to a payment structure. Effective July 16, 2018, Google Maps will start charging people for embedding google maps on their site, using a pay-per-view service. To understand this new pricing model, we encourage you to view their pricing announcement.

As their new payment structure rolls out, they are offering a free $200 credit each month toward your usage. Signing up for an account does require billing information and a credit card, however it is not known how long this credit will be offered.

However, if you are a nonprofit, crisis response, startup, or new media organization, you could apply to receive additional grants pending eligibility.

How to fix the "Opps! Something went wrong." error

If you ever see "Oops! Something went wrong" error on your map, it is likely related to the Google Map API key.

To fix this, make sure you have the following done:

• Generate a Google Map API key and insert it in the setting page (if you are using Themify theme, the Google Map API setting is at Themify panel > Settings > Google Map).
• Attach a credit card on your Google account for billing purpose (even if Google offers $200 credit every month, but they still require a credit card in the account profile).
• Try to re-generate a new API key if the above are done.

For any additional details, we recommend reading their pricing platform thoroughly. Feel free to leave us a question below as well.
