Category page experiment update & new Category page design for WordPress

Who approves items… On Market (I’m not just talking about Themeforest) are not important quality control as before and everything can be solved in a simple way…some other things are in the background of this situation.

Authors are not responsible for envato new “strategy” so maybe you shouldn’t insulting them by calling their work as low quality?

@Vopteem Maybe you should say that to the person who actually posted screenshots of low quality item designs, i was just replying to their post.

It’s pretty evident that a lot of authors have stopped publishing their work on ThemeForest. So, in this sense, those same authors were relying on their themes being purchased when shown to customers first.

Honestly, it’s hard to make a decision here. Envato has so many incredible authors who are making bank with their themes, so it’s unlikely that their sales would dip in the long-run. But it also feels like the market is being cornered, and I’m not sure how to feel about that.

Maybe there is a compromise being worked on, but even then, it would need to be a pretty damn good one to keep an influx of new and fresh themes.

It’s not fair to blame the review team there is no clear design requirement, Even WordPress itself doesn’t have clear standard you won’t know if the core code follow psr-4 or psr-3 standard, You won’t know if they are using 4 space or tabs.Tiny details like quotes, line break and braces are different among core files.

I think the new stratgy of Envato is looking for Subscriptions not buyers, and all this for Envatoelements .

One month ago (1,000,000+ assets) today (1,100,000+ assets.)

Oh… It looks like no review on new items? Elements … old bestsellers … low quality new themes. What’s next? Every previous day remembered like paradise :smiley: Just visited GraphicRiver, btw. Oh my… :flushed: Are you serious?

I think we all should stop commenting here because what I see there is no use.

The management of Envato doesn’t listen to us Collie don’t reply us in detail what there are up to.

The authors are making loss on hourly bases.

If this market is not going to turn back then what is the use of uploading new items or commenting here.

Rather we should delete our item in this case.

As I think they have been permuting envato elements since 3 years and now I think they are going to take all items to the elements and authors will be minus in this scenario?

I may be wrong. Who agrees with me?

Why is the administration silent?This is simply unthinkable misunderstanding.
I do not understand!
99 percent of non-understanding people gathered here. PEOPLE,living people who have families and plans!
They want to know what will happen next. Why are there no views or sales. When will there be changes and whether there will be any
these are people who have been working with you for years, and you cannot answer, talk, take a vote. Ask what we want.
This is complete nonsense.

What to expect of Envato staff, if they wanted could be communicate with the authors before this drastic decisions…a bigger problem is the authors who support this decisions and they lost over 50% earnings, I wonder what kind of people are :thinking:

There are many authors who will support every Envato decision no matter how bad it was for them and who will never be heard in any way, just look at this topic most of the same authors participate in it…what about the others not possible they can be satisfied with this or maybe they are who knows. If they are silent are probably satisfied…

Envato there is still one thing to do is remove the community from all your websites, because community means:

A community is a group of people living or working together in the same area. They also help each other and solve problems together. If it’s a bigger community, the people in it might not always go to the same places, but they might like or believe in the same things.

You’re right. No one from Envato reply here. The community here doesn’t have any meaning. Hey Envato, you should hear the pain from the Authors. If you want to stop the sale of the non-top selling authors, then I think this thread should be closed to stop their complains. It will help to save everybody time here and your headache. Authors would have choice to be here or move.

I have done a quick search in Themeforest :

  • Items uploaded last week
  • Filter : best sellers

The best selling item added in the last week has only 9 sales :disappointed_relieved::disappointed_relieved::disappointed_relieved:
Usually the best selling item uploaded last week has an average of 50/60 sales even more …
#StopTheExperimentPlease Envato :disappointed_relieved:

I can see already few authors started to uploading themes on other marketplace. if this envato continue This Experiment they will lose more new authors.

I think this is Envato strategy:

  1. Force authors to upload all items to the elements
  2. Replace themes with their “Website builder”
  3. Who still wish to run website manually - goes to elements, who wish easily to build website - go to use envato’s builder

First of all I apologize of my bad english. I hope you will understand
The market situation for new products is very deplorable. Many authors came to envato because they don’t have start capital to advertise their products. In the hope of supporting the authors on this marketing platform in the form of specific traffic people agree to conditions that charge 50% of the sale. At this stage of development of this marketing platform, we see the worst situation for authors loading new products. I do not know exactly who has how many views on new products, but according to a survey of some of my colleagues, the figure is approximately from 30 to 100 views on the first day and 5-10 views on subsequent days. The question is for what we give 30-50% of our profits to the treasury envato? If everything continues in the same spirit, I propose to reduce the percentage of the sale
