ThemeForest Author Dashboard: Fun Facts Widget Disappeared?
Has the Fun Facts widget disappeared from the ThemeForest Author Dashboard? Was there a specific reason for its removal, or is it possible to have it re-added?
@BenLeong, could you provide some information on this? Many authors appreciated the insights it offered, and it was a great feature. Was it intentionally removed, or is there a chance of bringing it back? Many authors are hoping to see it return.
Edit: Oh no! I missed it! yes, Fun Facts gone from Envato Market Dashboard.
For me is gone like for 2 months now.
Yeah is gone a long time ago, ti was a really nice feature.
What is the reason ?
I didnāt even notice itās gone. Most of the Envato features are being removed ( e.g Free file of the months ) - I donāt think they would be bringing it backā¦
āPreparations of merging to Elementsā :)) - with air quotes
I think they plan to keep the markets going but with the least effort.
Merging the systems takes time. CodeCanyon sales are going down I believe for everyone but thereāre still some authors ( Avada, etc ) they are still making sales ( even though itās around 4k copy per month not as 20k anymore ) itād be taking time but with all of these ā20$ for everything bannersā everywhere, for sure, itās not gonna take long.
Hi @SPRUKO! From what I can tell, this one was removed a few months ago due to site performance issues - there are a few authors with well over half a million items in their portfolios (the largest has just under 1M total), which cause problems with live updates to any kind of running tally like this: this is an example of something built back when Envato Market had a few hundred authors, and a few thousand items in total.
Our Market team is focused on maintaining essential services that keep the sites operating like the shopfronts, search/item/category pages, and the payment system - so they viewed the Fun Facts component as a ānice to have,ā but not essential enough to divert other resources to rebuild it.
