As for the rest of your things, custom fields sounds like a good idea for that, along with a little code in your theme files to turn the values they into into dollar signs or whatever you wanted. You could also write your own plugin to add a box to the write/edit post page to collect that info from them. But WP Review Site won’t help with any of that.

Have you heard any feedback from others if your review site plugin will work with WP 2.6?

Thanks again.

1) This is your site’s design, not plugin code
2) This is just HTML and CSS editing (header.php, style.css)
3) You can add your own reviews by typing it in the body of the post
4) You can put an image on the page by typing it in the body of the post
5) This is just HTML editing (single.php, single post template)
6) Add it to your header.php or sidebar.php
7) Edit footer.php, and type the links into a WordPress page

You don’t need to edit or write any PHP to accomplish any of this

I just sent you an email asking you about your review site template BEFORE I saw your post here saying that you will be updating this template. Cool. Anyway, I am very interested in this theme and am looking forward to using it immediately.

I have a few suggestions please…

1) Keep the top header image as thin as possible so the bulk of the review pages information can be seen on the top fold.

2) Include clear, simple, easy to understand instructions so we php challenged and non-techie types (like me!) can quickly and easily change the following ourselves so our review sites don’t look the same as everyone elses: the header image, background color/image, the color/image of the page margin background, the color of the product links, etc.

3) A way for site owners/administrators to be able to add our own review comments of the products we are featuring. I’m not talking about adding fake comments, but where we can copy and paste snippets of real user comments from other sources (Amazon, etc.) and add them to the comments pages ourselves. That way future visitors will be more likely to add their own comments when they see others have done the same. Its just a way to get the comment process going.

4) A space on each individual review page where we can add an image or screenshot of the products home page. And of course we will want to make that image/screen shot a link with our affiliate link.

5) At the top and bottom of EVERY review page, I would like a space to put an affiliate linked banner for my “Best Reviewed” product.

6) For some sites, we will want to build a mailing list by offering a free report. So being able to have a space near the top right of each page where we can offer a “Free Report” or whatever, with an optin form for our aweber or getresponse account would be great too.

7) Can we create a site map for this theme? I’m not talking about a google site map here, but rather a “normal” site map showing all the pages on our site that we want to include in the site map. I will want to put a link to this site map in the footer of every page of my site.

We will need to be able to add these ESSENTIAL WP plugins:
All in One SEO Pack, Google XML Sitemaps, SEO Meta Editor Advanced, Add to Any: Subscribe Button, Angsuman’s Feed Copyrighter, Comment to Email, Header-Footer, Ozh’ Absolute Comments, WordPress Thread Comment, Tell a Friend.

Dan, I realize some or most of these suggestions are probably no-brainers for you since you are an expert at PHP, but I’m not and really don’t want to be. I’ve built many sites with my html editor but only one blog/site using WordPress so far…and that was with a basic off the shelf WP theme. I’m into internet marketing and not the tech stuff and I need a WP review theme that works and is user friendly enough to make small modifications.

Thanks for reading this!
Steve
