Are you planning these changes only for WP themes?
Was wondering the same. Will there be any changes for e.g. Admin Templates? 
No changes on any other categories at this point.

That’s actually sad. But why not? If you do changes, do them for the whole marketplace, or at least for the most popular categories. Unfair.

I’ll get another update either tomorrow or Thursday indicating when the change will go through.
I might be really impatient, but I’m sure I’m not the only one here dying to hear some news and if I’m correct, Thursday is ending in Melbourne office

I think the reason to not raise prices for rest of the categories is because those files under those categories don’t sell that much as compared to WordPress files.

LucidStudios saidI think it doesn’t matter. If you want to do some changes in the price policy, do them for all categories in general. Not all of us are selling WP themes here, so that’s unfair.

I don’t think that prices for other categories should be raised now. Last time when these were raised(for html templates), wordpress prices weren’t taken into consideration and now we have many html templates priced at $20 which is very close to the wordpress prices of $35. One of the reasons html templates don’t sell so good is exactly this small price difference. Let’s be honest, compared to a full options wordpress theme such as udesign, html templates are just worthless.
Blame Envato for not raising the wordpress theme prices back then when they did it for html templates. Now it will be a bad move and will make the html templates sell even less.
Since it’s already past Thursday in Australia, where are the price changes ? Where’s notes announcement ? Another postpone I guess ?
