Everyone has an Opinion! That’s the real substance behind great communities – a constant flow of different opinions. Our latest theme – aptly titled Opinions – really has all the bells-and-whistles needed to set up a community platform based on a magazine theme.
We received extremely positive feedback on our Connect theme which gave us plenty of motivation to build a second BuddyPress compatible WordPress theme. With Opinions, we wanted to display a large amount of content in a clean magazine layout while also taking advantage of BuddyPress functionality to create a truly social platform.
The design of Opinions theme will scale to fit on all browser widths/resolutions and on all mobile devices.
The theme is packed with 6 different category layouts. Think about the possibilities!
Opinions has 3 custom post layouts. This is a very unique feature not found in many themes in the market.
Of course, this theme is BuddyPress compatible – another unique feature that is not widely available in the market.
The home page features a vertical list of popular posts which can also revert to displaying a specific category’s posts.
Since users loved this feature first introduced in Connect theme, we decided to integrate it into Opinions. After all, we’re all about listening to users’ opinions 
Now, go get your next theme!
We love to design themes that are highly functional and used by successful websites throughout the web. In short, we are experts at harnessing the power of WordPress to make sites work as they should.
And yes, we claim to have the best support along with the very best WordPress themes. Find out for yourself. Meet the Team

I love this….how can I incorporate Disqus comments on the sidebar instead of WP comments? I want to get this!
Charlie Patel Permalink
Thanks Sharon. Disqus would have its own widget to pull comments otherwise you can find one on the repository.

I’m impressed with the new – opinions – theme.
I don’t know when Charlie and Mehmet found time to row out a totally new theme on top of the one they rolled out last month.
Very impressive.

Good afternoon
Charlie use BuddyPress with the other issues, I have more problems with spam and invaders, is to protect users in this new BuddyPress site (theme)?
Greetings,
Arlindo Kings
Charlie Patel Permalink
Hi Arlindo – just be sure to activate and enable Akismet plugin to prevent spam. That will stop most of it.
Arlindo Reis Permalink
File pages.php came up blank, so this correct?
Arlindo Reis
Mehmet Ozek Permalink
It certainly is not correct. Please re-download your theme again. As for rest support questions please use our support forums Arlindo.
Erica Permalink
Oh just noticed that is a slider at the top on the homepage – does it have the option to autoscroll? Maybe that’s why I was unable to tell it was a slider at 1st because it wasn’t changing slides automatically. As long as there’s an option to autoslide, then everything looks perfect to me.
Can the grey thumbnail slider autoscroll? If both can autoscroll/autoslide then I’m buying this ASAP!
Mehmet Ozek Permalink
Yes, the featured slider has option to auto scroll. You can enable that option on theme control panel along with even further controls to define how fast to scroll, how long to wait between two slides etc… Even the other two carousels below can be set same way to auto scroll Erica.
Mehmet Ozek Permalink
You can include a plugin as slider into your site. Something like Featured Content Gallery But please note that we do not provide support for 3rd party plugins.
Ali Permalink

TJ Weaver Permalink
Hey guys!
Wonderful Buddypress theme!
Just curious, I have a movie website, and I’d love to purchase this theme. I think it will fit all the website’s needs. I just need to know if there’s a review/rating system included.
Also is there a way to have the featured story at the top scroll automatically?
Thanks!
Mehmet Ozek Permalink
Hi TJ, unfortunately there is no rating system included but you can use a plugin for that (GD Start Rating for instance). As for auto slide; yes, it supports auto slide. You can set the speed and function of slide on theme control panel.
David Permalink
Wonderful work – now please build a responsive newspaper design
Juz Permalink

Joel Permalink
This is an amazing-looking theme! I have a few questions.
Can that vertical list of posts be customized or changed in any way or are they just be the typical wordpress most popular posts or the most recent posts from a category? I might want to show “10 editor’s picks” instead of something automated. Is that possible out of the box or with some extra work?
Also, how are those trending links created at the top?
Lastly, I’d be interested in category-specific headers and maybe background images. Can you recommend a plugin and/or speak to the difficulty I might have in doing that with this theme?
Charlie Patel Permalink
Thanks Joel! It’s becoming quite popular with our current user base.
Regarding your question about the vertical list. Here’s where the good stuff is really behind the curtains. You can choose from following to display articles there:
a) category
b) tag specified
c) posts w/ a specific custom field
d) recent posts
e) most popular posts (today, this week, month, or year)
Trending links are auto-generated based on most used tags.
Category specific headers are not built-in as that is case by case basis. I don’t know of any plugins, but I know it’s possible with some creative coding.
Joel Permalink
Thanks for the response. I saw that Opinions is multisite compatible. I’m wondering if that will work for what I want to do as I could have different logos for each network site. Just a few general multisite questions
Would I be able to use this same theme on the other multisite blogs and tweak the theme options for each?
Opinions home page shows content by what looks to be different categories. How could I display content on the home page form the different network sites? I know there are sitewide tag plugins for multisite. Could I show posts on the home page with tags like I can in the vertical list ?
Dawson Permalink
Just checked the demo and I’m really impressed with this theme. First of all the layout is unique and sliders are simply awesome. Will recommend this theme to my clients
Charlie Patel Permalink
Thanks a bunch Dawson. Means a lot coming from you. Cheers!
Isaac Success Permalink
@ Charlie: Can i use this theme on a Content Curation Newspaper Site? Could it handle the frequent News Updates? Also, how SEO Optimized is the Opinions Theme without 3rd party plugins? Thanks in anticipation of a reply.
Mehmet Ozek Permalink
Yes, the theme can handle frequent news updates. But you should make sure that you are going to use a good server if you get thousands of entries on your site. The theme is coded with standard functions of WordPress but for SEO improvements you should definitely install some plugins no matter what theme you use.
Ozlem Permalink
Hello,
Are there any portals that started using this theme? Can we see other usage examples?
Thank you

Sako Permalink
Hi,guys!
Could you make a wrapper with fixed background. Now it is not OK to monetize a website changing main background. If I change background, menu background get the same colour or image. Thanks!
Charlie Patel Permalink
Hi Sako – just drop us a note on the support forum and we may be able to provide some assistance.
Mary Jane Permalink
Hello Charlie, I am so interested for this theme. I have been looking for a theme that fits my requirements and this is it. Is this possible to login in the frontend without going back to wordpress login? How about the posting? Is that can be done in the frontend as well?
Charlie Patel Permalink
hi Mary Jane – You can easily install a plugin to allow for login from frontend. Posting can also be achieved via a plugin.
Mark Permalink
Beautiful looking theme.
Q1: Can I add a Twitter widget into the theme? I would like to display my most recent tweets on my this theme.
Q2: Do I have to use the BuddyPress functionality or can I choose not to use it?
Q3: Does theme come with demo content so I can see how it all fits/works while building my site?
Have been looking at several Themeforest Themes, but this looks very good for my needs.
Thanks
Charlie Patel Permalink
Hi Mark – here are responses to your questions:
Q1: Yes
Q2: You can decide to use or not use.
Q3: You can hit us up for the demo content. Or use a dummy content plugin.
Happy holidays.

Hi Mehmet Permalink
I’m interested in purchasing the opinion theme. However I just want to make sure that I’m able to use the payable donation button. And install a Business Directory plugin.
