[Video] Compatibility

[b.copeland]

Hi there!

I would like to know if the Video WP Theme will permit me to do the following:

1. May we continue to use the background video that plays on our current home page at https://smoochbox.live (the explosion of colors moving in the background is what I am referring to on our website).

2. May we continue to use the search bar feature that is also included on our current home page?

3. Does your company offer an enhanced search bar plugin that we may use with our current website and possible Video WP Theme?

4. Does the Video Theme permit our visitors to post comments and communicate with each other on our website?

5. Does the Video Theme provide a signup form for our visitors to join our online community?

6. Does your company offer a product that boosts our website speed?

Hello,

Thank you for contacting MyThemeShop today.

1. May we continue to use the background video that plays on our current home page at https://smoochbox.live (the explosion of colors moving in the background is what I am referring to on our website).

Are you trying to add a background video to the layout of this theme: https://demo.mythemeshop.com/video/ ?
If yes, that layout would cover most of the video, your video wouldn't be visible.

But if you wanted to integrate the video with the theme's layout you would need a custom solution.
You can however create an empty page, and in that empty page insert your Video from Elementor plugin and the search box.

2. May we continue to use the search bar feature that is also included on our current home page?

This is the same answer as for the question above. The theme by default does not have that search box, you will have to create it using Elementor but considering that Elementor cannot edit the demo layout of the theme, you will have just the Elementor layout elements.

3. Does your company offer an enhanced search bar plugin that we may use with our current website and possible Video WP Theme?

We do not have a search bar plugin. We can however help you insert a search bar into your header once you purchase the theme.

4. Does the Video Theme permit our visitors to post comments and communicate with each other on our website?

The commenting feature is available in every WordPress plugin. Users can post comments below your pages or posts just like with any theme. You can see that example here: https://demo.mythemeshop.com/video/this-futuristic-bracelet-that-turns-your-arm-into-a-touch-screen-will-blow-your-mind/

5. Does the Video Theme provide a signup form for our visitors to join our online community?

No, the theme does not have any special sign up forms other than the ones that come with WordPress. You can use other plugins for sign up forms.

6. Does your company offer a product that boosts our website speed?

You can use our tutorials on how to integrate a caching plugin, that can be found here: https://mythemeshop.com/blog/wordpress-speed-optimization/

Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

Is it possible to keep my site 'as is' and just simply apply the theme to one new page that I create for only videos, comments, and sharing?

Hello,

No, you can not create a new page for a different theme.

You can create a subdomain instead and use the video theme there.

Link the URL to that in the main site to access that.

Thank you.

Suppose we left our current domain name the same for the homepage that includes our search bar feature and the attractive 'Color Burst' video playing in the background (which we would like to retain), and we use a subdomain for the rest of the site; presumably the Video Theme portion provided by your firm.  Would we be able to search across the videos that are posted to the Video Theme subdomain if my search bar is on the primary domain of the website?

e.g. The Home Page featuring the search bar is https://smoochbox.live

       The subdomain is https://abc123subdomain.live; the subdomain would feature all of our video posts, comment sharing, etc.

       Could I visit https://smoochbox.live , and use the search bar to search and view videos that are posted tohttps://abc123subdomain.live?

Hello,

You would need a custom solution to what you are asking to do. Using just a theme would not work to accomplish your goals.

Please ask a developer on UpWork.com to create that for you or from Fiverr.com, you will need to consult with a developer to accomplish what you are looking for.

I hope that helps.

Thanks,
