By Nishant A | Dating Theme, WordPress Dating Plugin | One Comment

WPDating team is proud to announce the official release of our latest dating theme ‘Dating Club that redefines WordPress dating theme to a whole new level!

After months of development and behind-the-scenes testing from test users, we have come up with some new and exciting features to make sure our dating theme outperforms all existing ones in the market.

Here are some of the best features of Dating Club Theme.

1. Timeline Feature – Share status with multimedia

Say goodbye to old boring themes that restrict the users to share themselves with limited text updates.

Dating Club theme allows your users to share a personal status with the help of multimedia such as

Audio
Videos and
Photos

Your users’ profile will display a chronological order of their updates in a clean and legible format.

2. WooCommerce Integration

The ability to integrate with WooCommerce opens a whole new world of possibilities for your dating website.

There are thousands of elements that you can add, modify and customize to make sure you create a strong brand image with all of your customers.

It is entirely dependent on your requirements how you want to make the best of this integration.

However, this feature is NOT included with plugin membership plans.

3. New Customized Search Filter

This new search filter allows your users to add granular search parameters to their search keyword.

Since our customers tend to have a huge database of users, introducing this feature is definitely a must-have once the number of new sign-ups goes up in number.

4. Using Ajax to load content

Simple yet powerful, ajax method loads data from a server and puts the returned data to the selected element.

Not only does this boost your website speed, but it also helps to retain more customers with a seamless browsing experience across your dating website.

5. User-friendly design for members

Your dating website’s members are the very source of your income. Dating Club theme gets rid of all the clutter and makes it easy to connect with other members.

The theme’s responsive design also makes sure your users will be able to have access to all of the features regardless of the device that they’re using.

6. Centralized dashboard setting

Having a centralized dashboard that gives your users access to everything from setting up their personal details to notifications is a powerful feature for a dating website.

Dating Club theme’s all-new redesigned dashboard offers just that. No more browsing through 10 different pages to set up your profile.

By Nishant A | Dating Software, Dating Theme, WordPress Dating Plugin | 4 Comments

New month, new add-ons.

After only a month of releasing the new WPDating plugin, we are super stoked to announce yet another huge update to our dating solution.

Let’s dive right into it!

1. SMS Verification add-on

It is no surprise that many dating websites have a HUGE number of fake users. It almost makes you wonder how they managed to create an account in the first place, let alone send you a message.

Taking this problem into consideration, we’re excited to announce the launch of our SMS verification add-on.

As the name itself suggests, this add-on requires your users to complete their registration with the help of a unique code sent to them through SMS.

This will help your dating website reduce the number of fake users by a significant number.

Get the SMS verification add-on here.

Note: Requires WP Dating Plugin version 6.5 or higher.

2. Admin Message Reply add-on

This add-on is a result of the numerous requests from our existing customers.

In simple terms, this add-on allows the admin to view and reply to any message that is happening between two users across the whole dating website.

In case you want to make sure that your users are able to seamlessly send messages to each other at any point, you can manually try it yourself.

Get the admin message reply add-on here

Note: Requires WP Dating Plugin version 6.6.4 or higher.

We hope these add-ons add even more value to your dating website and help you get ahead of the competition! 😉

By Nishant A | Dating Software, Dating Theme | 2 Comments

payment gateways added - paysafe, maxpay. voguepay

We’re having a huge payment gateway add-on bash at WPDating this month.

It was quite a challenging milestone for our development team to accomplish integrating with not one but three new payment solutions to help dating business owners accept payments regardless of their location.

1. Paysafe

Paysafe offers a variety of services for physical stores and online platforms alike. It is one of the most secure payment service providers which supports over 100 currencies.

2. Maxpay

Maxpay integration is another addition to WPDating’s add-on list. It is an international payment processing platform that supports more than 130 currencies and expedites transctions with its partnership with more than 32 banking networks.

Some of the best features of MaxPay are

7 Essential Features Dating Websites Need in 2019

By Nishant A | Dating Software, Dating Theme | No Comments

It is no surprise that online dating has become an integral part of our lives today.

According to Statista, approximately 33.9 million U.S. users accessed online dating services in 2018 alone.

This clearly indicates that there’s a huge market for dating websites – and you can start a profitable business by simply focusing on a niche audience.

However, you will need to make sure your website offers some fundamental as well as unique features to attract your target audience.

Here are the 7 essential features every dating website needs in 2019.

1. Advanced Search

One of the most important aspects of using a dating website is having to freedom to be as picky as you want with your potential dates.

An advanced search feature can help your dating website members use filters such as age, height, hair color, ethnicity, hobbies, pets, and so forth.

Dating websites usually ask new sign-ups to answer a questionnaire to get this information. This data can later be used to provide relevant results based on search parameters.

2. Finding People Nearby

The purpose of using dating websites is to ultimately meet someone that you’re compatible with. If they live on the other side of the world, it really makes no sense to chat forever.

Allowing your users to find other members that are near to them geographically can be done by tracking their IP address and filtering out members in close proximity.

You can use this feature by asking your users to set a certain radius while searching for other members.

3. Date Tracker

Frequent users of online dating websites often lose track of the people that they have dated so far.

A date tracker that privately stores the experience of the user’s dates with a certain person can help them to filter out the matches that they would like to consider taking the relationship a step further. Or alternatively, note down red flags to avoid them at all costs in the future.

4. People who viewed your profile

Even LinkedIn sends you notifications when someone views your profile. It might not necessarily indicate that the person who viewed you is interested in you.

Someone might view a profile out of curiosity. But dating apps/websites users find validation in knowing that they’re turning some eyes and in turn increases engagement.

However, allowing your members to see the list of people they recently viewed is also equally important which many dating services miss out on.

5. Multi-language support

Unless you’re committed to not allowing your dating business to serve a global audience, you must invest in offering your dating website in multiple languages.

A single language addition to your dating website can exponentially increase the number of users, which is natural considering how easy it is for someone to converse in their own language.

It might seem like a costly investment but WPDating offers almost over 25 international language packs each priced at an affordable $19. Learn more about it here.

6. Offer a mobile dating app

I don’t even need to remind you how often you’re on your mobile phone. US adults spend an average of 3.5 hours on their mobile devices in a single day.

If your dating website does not offer a dating app, you’re bound to lose a huge portion of your target audience.

Any dating service that is exclusively web-based will risk getting lower engagement simply because of the fact that people tend to find mobile apps much more accessible.

7. User privacy

Perhaps one of the biggest fears of dating online stems from your customers’ privacy concerns. Regardless of how normal online dating is in today’s context, you’re still meeting strangers which can be terrifying considering the number of creeps that are out there.

Ensuring your users that their data is encrypted, confidential and not shared with any third-parties will help you gain their trust.

Now that you’re aware of the essential features that dating websites need in 2019, let me present you with a single solution that offers all of these features.

WPDating is a complete white-label dating website solution that offers affordable packages for individual as well as business needs. Take a look at our pricing here.

Powerful New Features Released by WPDating – April 2019 Update

By Nishant A | Dating Software, Dating Theme | No Comments

As we step into the second quarter of 2019, WPDating has added even more features to keep your dating website up-to-date with the ever-changing online dating industry standards.

Let’s jump right into it!

Save messages as drafts

This feature has been one of the most requested by our clients for good reason and we’re delighted to finally announce that this feature is now live.

Your dating website’s users can now save incomplete messages by simply clicking a ‘save draft’ button and have it intact for later. Hopefully they don’t save that draft about confessing their love for too long.

Dropdown UI added in advance search

This is a must-have feature for dating websites with a huge customer base. Your dating website’s users can use multiple filters to narrow down the results while searching for a specific profile.

Let’s say you’re searching for a married guy called Charles aged 40 who lives in California with a pet dog. You can now find his profile in 10 seconds.

Better user-search mechanism

Yet another improvement related to the search feature, WPDating’s user-search mechanism is now much more responsive. This improvement will help you search for other users by simply entering a few letters and get results based on the closest match.

It can come in really handy when your users have to search for a complex name like “Blaszczykowski”. Enter ‘Blas’ into the search box and you’ll find his profile right away (hopefully there aren’t thousands of other Blaszczykowskis).

Slider-WD plugin removed

After putting quite some time into considering removal of Slider-WD plugin, we have finally decided upon getting rid of it due to two main reasons

Removing this plugin helped us optimize the overall size of our plugin
DIVI themes is hardly used by any of our clients at this point

Rest assured, you can still get a slider feature built in WPDating plugin.

Farewell, Slider-WD.

General bug fixes

It wouldn’t be an update if we didn’t occasionally squash out some annoying bugs. As always, our QA team helped us track down some minor issues and bugs which have been safely taken care of.

You can expect a better overall experience from our plugin with improvements on some minor unseen aspects as well.

All New & Improved – Your Favorite WordPress Dating Theme “LoveMatch” Released

By Rauld - WPDating Admin | Dating Theme | No Comments

WPDating team is super excited to announce the release of a brand new and updated LoveMatch theme packed with even more powerful features and a beautiful new interface.

The first release of LoveMatch was back in October of 2017 and it turned out to be our most preferred dating themes.

Our design and development team have been busy for the last year adding new features and tweaking the existing ones to make sure we deliver an updated LoveMatch theme with a better experience.

LoveMatch is the perfect dating theme for any WordPress based site with the flexibility of adding numerous widgets that you can use to personalize as per your needs.

Some Highlights of the New LoveMatch Dating Theme

Seamless User Interface

The home page of the new LoveMatch theme is simple and easy to navigate.

Simply put in your credentials with the help of a few dropdown menus and you’re ready to find your match.

Responsive Design

Regardless of how great a theme looks on a desktop PC or laptop, it is even more important to make sure it provides the same experience on mobile phones. Since there are more visitors browsing with their mobile phones than their desktop computers, responsiveness simply cannot be overlooked.

This is why the LoveMatch dating theme has been optimized for responsive design no matter what device you’re using.

Minimalistic, Clean and Informative Layout

It is pretty challenging to create a theme with a minimalistic design but with enough content to provide detailed information.

All of the pages on LoveMatch dating theme have very few texts but have been complimented with graphical aspects that make sure your customers can navigate with ease.

Upgraded Member Area

Just like any other business, a dating website relies heavily on its customers. In this case, they’re your visitors who have signed up.

The improved LoveMatch theme offers everything from sending messages, sharing audio and video to even a dating tracker that keeps track of the people a member has dated.

Your members can see who has viewed their profile, the profiles they have viewed and a trending section that provides a list of the popular profiles.

We hope this new release of the updated LoveMatch theme will be the perfect solution for your dating business.
