In reply to: [Autostock] Theme that works with pluginI always build custom themes from underscore http://underscores.me/
I have thought about building a VIN plugin for NZ fuel badge, I’m not sure how useful it will be as it is only applicable to New Zealand. Each country has it’s own requirements if any.
Also I’m not sure about the licence requirements using the government website api to collect fuel data, which currently you as a user need to get a login and password from them.

In reply to: [Autostock] Detail Stats On Cars Not Showing On PageIt’s not a bug but a design feature, I always create custom pages for this plugin. Every site is built from scratch with underscores.
I will be releasing a theme shortly that is designed to go with this plugin, which will have normal templates for pages and posts, custom templates for grid view of all cars and single template for individual cars. I’m trying to integrate it with AngularJS hence the need for separate views (partial pages).
The next plugin update will include a comprehensive search feature widget. ie by year, price range etc.

In reply to: [Autostock] Detail Stats On Cars Not Showing On PageThe way I would do it is create a custom page for displaying all cars. In your theme folder copy page.php and name it page-car.php and start to custom that page.
See the codex https://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Page_Templates.
Once you have a custom page you can do what ever you like with the content.
For individual car view I would copy single.php and name it single-car.php
Hope that helps

In reply to: [Autostock] View carsYou have several options to displaying content.
To display all the custom posts I would recommend using the loop or get_posts see the codex for a full details
https://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Template_Tags/get_posts
If you are having trouble coding then you will need to employ a WordPress developer to assist you.

In reply to: [Autostock] Detail Stats On Cars Not Showing On PageWithout a link to your site it is difficult to answer your question. However all features are categories and can be displayed in you template by using the WordPress function
<?php get_the_category( $post_id ); ?> or <?php get_the_category_list( $separator, $parents, $post_id ); ?>See the codex for full details https://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Function_Reference/get_the_category

In reply to: [Autostock] blank site after plugin installUnforntunately it will not work on that version of PHP the min is 5.3.6 and ideally 5.4 or 5.5 as we are using new functions that are now available to us with the later versions of php.
I suspect that you are going to find this situation more common as more developers work with later versions of PHP.
Ask you hosting provider to upgrade their servers to later versions of PHP.
Sorry I could not be more helpful.

In reply to: [Autostock] Will Not INstallHi QuizToon
What version of PHP and WordPress are you using. Minimum requirement for PHP is 5.3.6 and WordPress 4.0
We are using some more advanced PHP features hence the requirements?

In reply to: [Autostock] View carsHi Sancy
I use this plugin for clients’ websites that are car dealer and normally build custom themes.
Rather than clutter up the plugin with templates, I would rather offer a theme that has been built for this plugin. This would allow more flexibility.
I appreciate you comment about doing it the same way as woocommerce but it becomes a bit of a mess( I have built a lot of sites with woocommerce ) with various warnings after updates. I’m a great believer in a module approach, each plugin does one thing and does it well.
I have started to built a theme using the bootstrap framework, perhaps you would like to be a tester for me?
