I installed the script and started translating it. Do you have a ready-made file with a Russian translation that I could upload? Otherwise, I have a fun job of translating almost 1000 words. :((
Hello,
Language files for some of the most commonly used languages are available in the “Languages” section of our Help Center. You can download the Russian language file there and upload it to your site via “Language Settings > Import Language” in the admin panel.

Thank you.
How long will it take for you to implement the “Premium Membership and Pay Per View”
Give specific time frame so I can decide whether to add custom works or wait for your update.
Hello,
We plan to introduce a paid membership system in the next update. The details haven’t been finalized yet, and we’ll determine everything clearly once we begin working on the update. However, we are currently focused on another one of our scripts, and we will start working on the new Varient update once that is complete.
At this time, we’re unable to provide an estimated timeframe, as it may vary depending on the circumstances.
Regards,
It is understandable for you to priority to all your products but it’s also very important to consider interest of each customer irrespective of the product involved…Estimating clear timeline of your updates will be of the greatest benefits for us to plan our use of it. There are many things I want to add to this product because it’s not upto the standard I desire. Knowing your timeline for this particular “Premium Membership” will be of greatest help to decide on which of my planned features taken effect. Don’t just leave us in an open windows. Let your technical team be specific of the updates timeline and upcoming features.
Hello,
Unfortunately, we are unable to provide an estimated date, even if requested, because it’s unclear when other updates will be completed. We need to prepare and release two major updates for our other script first. Developing and deploying these updates takes time, and it’s difficult to estimate how long it will take. Work on Varient will resume after these updates are completed.
We completely understand your position. However, even if the upcoming update is released, there will be more updates in the future. This is an ongoing process. That’s why we strongly recommend using the original code without modifications. We’re continuously working to provide a better product by adding new features and improving the existing codebase.
However, if you plan to stop following future updates and continue developing the project on your own after the premium membership feature is released, you will need to wait for that update. Or, you can develop the features you want to add in the current version, and once the new update is released, you can migrate your custom features to the new version.
Thanks.
I need “Varient – News & Magazine Script” Mobile App can you make this same “Varient – News & Magazine Script” Flutter mobile Apk
Hello,
Varient Script currently does not have a mobile app, and we don’t yet know if we will develop one in the future. At this time, there are no updates regarding this.
Since our code is open source, you are welcome to work with a developer if you need a mobile application.
Thank you.
Hi, great script!
Before I buy it, I have a few questions:
01) I noticed that TinyMCE is included for WYSIWYG HTML editing.
In this case, can I be carefree without being charged by TinyMCE, that is, can I make unlimited POST edits without paying any monthly fee to TinyMCE?
02) If I want to use some PREMIUM feature of TinyMCE, is it possible to add an API key?
03) I accessed the demo and couldn’t find the place where I can add the OpenAI API, is it in the super admin?
04) Does OpenAI’s AI automatically generate POSTs and schedule them without any human intervention?
And if it doesn’t have this feature, do you plan on adding it?
05) Is there a feature to put a highlighted page on the main home page with other news when a major event happens?
Example: The Pope dies!
This is very useful for a big news story.
06) Do you plan to include Webhook and API resources so that we can make integrations?
07) Does the RSS Aggregator that searches for news from other sites in real time appear on the news platform, clearly highlighted and with the entire story? Or is it just a news link?
If you can send an example, I would appreciate it.
08) Is the reward system so that anyone can contribute to a POST edition or share the POST?
And how do they receive these rewards? Are they calculated by points, views and how do they receive them?
09) Do you provide customized services?
I thank you in advance and await your valuable response
Hello,
01) We use free version of TinyMCE. So you will not pay anything for this plugin.
02) This would be outside of our original codes. You can add a premium feature by editing the codes. However, in this case, we are not sure under which license the TinyMCE license would be.
03) You can check this page: https://varient.codingest.net/admin/preferences There is an “AI Content Creator (AI Writer)” section in this page.
04) No, the script uses this API only to create text (post content) for an entered topic.
05) We added the “Recommended Posts” section for this purpose. You can select the posts you want and display them here. You can also use the Featured posts or Slider areas for this purpose.
06) Our script is built with CodeIgniter 4, which provides a robust and flexible routing and controller system. This allows to easily define custom API endpoints and webhook receivers. In other words, based on your coding knowledge, you can easily implement your own structure and integrations.
07) If you want RSS feeds to be checked automatically at specific time intervals, you’ll need to set up a cron job on your server to trigger the feed update URL. We have explained this process in our documentation. If the RSS feed contains the full content, our script will add it to your website. However, if it’s not provided, only the title, summary, and image (if available) will be added.
08) The reward system is designed for authors. Authors can earn money based on the number of page views their articles receive. These payments are made to the authors by the site administration.
09) We do not have a customization service.
Thank you.
Hi Author,
i am running it on socialastro.com, can you please check why drop down many goes out of sight (UI issue).
Hi,
We recommend setting the menu limit value to around 9 or 10 in the “Navigation” section of the admin panel.
Regards,
menu limit is 9.
We based our answer on the category names used on our demo site. However, if the category names on your site are longer, setting the menu limit to 9 may cause them to overflow off the screen. In that case, you may need to reduce the menu limit further.
I hope this most important feature is available in the next update. I have been waiting for this feature for a very long time. Two updates have come but it still has not been included: the ability to select multiple categories for the same post.
Hello,
This feature is on our update list, and we are considering including it in a future release. However, we cannot guarantee any specific features in advance or provide a timeline for when they might be added.
Versions 2.4.1, 2.4.2, and 2.4.3 are minor updates focused solely on fixing reported bugs, so no new features have been introduced in these releases. We will continue to release updates in the future, which may include new features. Please stay tuned for our upcoming updates.

Hello,
There is one issue, and one suggestion:
The issue: Google show problem in indexing the articles, I have in the directory 1400 articles, but google indexed about 300 articles, and show problem in indexing the other articles.
something might be wrong in the SiteMap.xml file.
The suggestion:
Try to add a question/answer section. similar to Quora.com
you can simply make the article title public anyone can fill it, ( as the question ) and the article body as its answer also filled by anyone,
it will be one answer per each question but that is something to start with.
Thank you
Hello,
We have checked the links in your sitemap.xml file. With a few exceptions, the vast majority return a 200 status code. A 200 status code indicates that the page has loaded successfully and is accessible. This is a positive signal for search engines, meaning the page can be crawled without any issues. So there is no problem with the sitemap.
You already made this suggestion before. Repeating it multiple times will not have any effect. If it is going to be added, it will be added in the future anyway. However, we cannot promise any feature in advance. It may or may not be added.
For your future support requests, please renew your support and use our help desk. We do not want to leave any questions unanswered, but we are also against using the comments section as a support channel.

Hi, I updated my site with demo contain and updated admin email and password from your generic credentials, now I saw my email showing W-mail (non-confirmed). How do I confirm that. It say send email for confirmation.
Also I can’t see posts in the Dashboard , when I click on Posts or any categories on the left I don’t see them in the dashboard I am redirected to the main website page.
Hi,
If you haven’t configured your email settings yet and are seeing such an issue, it is recommended to fix it directly through your database. Please open the “users” table in your database via phpMyAdmin. Find the record for your account and set the “email_status” value to 1 for that record.
If you haven’t made any changes in the database, you should be able to see all posts. However, if you’ve made any changes, please clear the database and re-import the demo database. Then configure your email settings from the Admin panel and update your email address. If you follow these steps, you shouldn’t encounter any issues.

Hello, Can you block new user registrations
thanks, Ernest
Hello,
You can disable the “Registration System” setting in the ’’Preferences > General’’ section of the admin panel.
As a side note, please contact us through our Help Center for any support-related questions, as that is our primary support channel: https://codingest.net/
Thank you.
How I can get the demo contain? After installing my site it is blanc and I would like to get demo contain like your site.
Hello,
You can download the demo files from the “Demo Content” section of our Help Center and follow the instructions provided there to upload them to your site: https://codingest.net/demo-content
Thank you sir , that worked.
You are welcome.
Hello,
I enabled multilingual and when I switch from one language to another, the content disappears. I want the content to remain the same — only the interface language should change, not the actual content.
How can I fix that?
Hello,
In Varient, each language is separate from the others. When adding categories and posts, you have the option to select the active languages on your site. If you want a post to appear in all active languages, you need to manually translate the post and add it again for each language. You can also create different content for each language on your site. Please note that there is no automatic translation feature.
For support inquiries, please contact us through our Help Center, which is our primary support channel: https://codingest.net/
Thank you.
Hello,
I’ve reviewed your demo and have a few questions before purchasing:
1. Language Support: Can I add a new language that is not currently in your supported list (e.g., Amharic)? and is language only for admin panel or for users too?
2. Live Section: Does the script include a live streaming or live content section?
3. Category Order: Is it possible to change or reorder the categories shown on the Home page content (not the header menu)?
Hello,
1. You can freely add new languages to your site. While we have provided some of the most commonly used languages in our help desk, Amharic is not among them. To add it, go to the “Language Settings > Add Language” section in the admin panel. After adding the language, click on “Edit Translations” to manually translate the words and text used in the script into the newly added language.
2. The live streaming feature is not available, and we have no plans to implement it at this time. Additionally, features like live streaming can consume significant server resources. It’s often more efficient to use platforms like YouTube and embed the live stream on your website instead.
3. The order of categories displayed on the homepage is determined by their order in the main menu. Therefore, if you change the order of categories in the main menu, it will also change the order in which they appear on the homepage.
Thank you for your interest in our Varient script.
Thank you for your detailed response; it was very helpful.
I just have one more question regarding the language settings: When a new language is added, is the change applied to both the admin panel and the frontend website, or is it limited to the admin panel only?
You’re welcome.
If you enable the “Multilingual System” feature in the “Preferences” section of the admin panel, the active languages on your site will be displayed in both the admin panel and the top menu, next to the login section. Visitors will be able to change the language to view posts in other languages. However, if you disable the “Multilingual System” setting, the active languages will only be visible in the admin panel, and the language selection option will be hidden from visitors.
Thank you.
Ok, Thank you
You are welcome.
Why there is not push notification functionality? Please add this. I can see on every news website have this
Hello,
The Push Notification feature may be included in a future update. We are considering this feature; however, we cannot confirm a timeline at this point.
Please follow our updates for more features and improvements.
Regards,
Hello sir kindly add category/sub cat registration and allow admin to change user cat also.
Humble request
Hello,
Could you please provide more details about this feature?
Are you referring to a feature where the admin can restrict authors to selected categories, so they can only post within those specific categories? If so, we have considered making this an optional feature—allowing admins to assign authors to designated categories. While we can’t make any promises at this time, this is a feature that may be included in future updates.
Regards,
Yea sir i mean that
We cannot guarantee any features in advance; however, this feature is under consideration and may be included in future updates. Please stay tuned for updates as we continue to add new features and improvements.

As you deliberate to add paid membership system which i was about to ask, please implement a SHOP section where owners can sell digital items such as ebooks etc. Also, may i know how i can change my domain without necessarily purchasing an extra license to use the script.
Hello,
Yes, due to the high number of requests, we are planning to introduce a paid membership feature.
Since we already have a marketplace script (Modesy), we do not plan to add a shopping feature to the Varient script.
You can freely change your domain in the “Licenses” section of our Help Center: https://codingest.net/licenses For detailed instructions, please refer to the article titled “How can I change my license code (domain)?” available here: https://codingest.net/knowledge-base?content=161Regards,
I love this variant
First how does monetization works on this script? Is there anyway to create a page or categories for specific role in user groups, to simply put, a way to show premium article to paid users only in that way there should be a way to create a custom role for a specific user with set permission other than just the four roles in the script. Secondly, ads space, how does it work? After generating the code, what next? Will it be input manually on pages or something because I don’t understand the ads space of a thing, I believe it will be easier if the ads part is constructed properly like creating ads with specific inputs like number of clicks or number of days it will be display in the template position assigned. As a news and magazine script it is and probably some bloggers will make use of it too, I think monetization aspect should be properly constructed giving the fact that there is a reward system for author so there should be a thing like a premium articles for specific users like paid users.
And lastly under reward system on the admin dashboard, there is pageview, I think the pageview page can be improved, it looks clustered and improperly arranged, there can be a filter field like date, it can also be arranged ascendingly like the author with highest pageviews from high to low..
Summary Please I need an explanation on ads space in the system, how does it work? And the code generated what can It be used for. Google adsense alone is not enough of a monetization for a blog or news website and the ads space is confusing and not user-friendly
Hello,
Thanks for your interest in our script!
Currently, revenue can only be generated through advertisements (either manually added ads or from ad providers like AdSense).
In the next update, we plan to introduce a paid membership system. Users who subscribe will gain access to premium content. Additionally, we might include a pay-per-content option. Both options can be implemented simultaneously, but we haven’t finalized the details yet. We’ll determine everything clearly once we start working on the update.
You can manually add ads to the ad spaces, or enable AdSense with the “auto display” option to show ads automatically on your site. If you have an image (ad design) and link it to a URL, a clickable ad will be generated for the selected ad space and displayed on your site. When users click on the ad, they are redirected to the provided link. We may enhance the ad system in the future, but it currently works without issues.
Storing all page view records in the database is very risky, as it could cause the database to grow excessively over time. Therefore, our script only stores page views from the last 30 days. Since each page view directly adds earnings to the author’s balance, the system operates efficiently. Additionally, with the newly added human verification, fake and bot page views have been significantly reduced.
Thanks.
Hey! Is there any way to auto approve the pending posts posted by users? If there is please guide me how?
Hello,
If you prefer newly added posts to be published immediately without requiring approval, you can set “Approve Added User Posts” and “Approve Updated User Posts” to “No” in the “Preferences > Posts” section of the admin panel.
Regards,
How can I fix the post image uploading issue? I can not upload any image for any post. Always shows processing only. For more details please see the screenshot. https://prnt.sc/NNbygVPeo4U9
Hello,
You can refer to the “Image Upload Problem” article in our Help Center to help resolve this issue: https://codingest.net/knowledge-base?content=164 If you’re unable to upload any images, please ensure that the required PHP extensions are enabled on your server and that the necessary folders are writable with the recommended permissions.
However, if you’re able to upload smaller images but not larger ones, the issue is likely due to file upload limits on your server. In that case, refer to the “File Upload Settings” article in the “Documentation” section, and make sure the file upload limits are sufficient for the files you’re trying to upload: https://codingest.net/documentation/varient#file_upload
Thanks a lot for your excellent assistance. Problem has been fixed. FileInfo extension missing in PHP area.
You’re welcome.
We’re glad to hear the issue has been resolved.

Please consider tweet and social media imports 
Hello,

I’ve just reviewed the demo and there are several issues. Can you solve them? 1 – There is no visitor log displaying visitor data and IP address. 2 – Why does AI rely solely on ChatGPT and not other sources like DeepSec and Qwen? 3 – Why aren’t site file optimizations automatically created, such as image compression, CSS file optimization, and JavaScript? This speeds up the system. 4 – Why aren’t there SEO improvements, such as linking to Webmaster Tools automatically and in easier ways? I hope you can modify and add these features. They will improve the system’s efficiency and won’t be difficult for you. One last question: When purchasing a copy of the system with an extended license, how can it be sold? Is there a license that can be issued to the customer through resale or resale? This is another addition that can be implemented as an add-on or module. Please respond to these questions and see if it is possible to create one.
Hello,
1. We prefer not to include features that involve user data or track users, due to GDPR and other legal regulations.
2. Currently, we only support ChatGPT. More options may be added in the future.
3. Our script is optimized for performance, including improvements to images, CSS, JavaScript, and the database. Uploaded images are automatically optimized and stored in different sizes for efficient loading across all devices. For example, if you upload an image with a size of 5MB, it will be automatically optimized and saved in multiple sizes ranging from 30KB to 150KB. Since the optimization process is handled during upload, it does not cause any additional CPU usage while browsing the site.
4. We don’t believe every feature needs to be built into the script, as some of our users may not want to use these features or may find configuring such APIs too complicated. Those who wish can already manage their sites as they like through their own Google Search Console accounts. We don’t see a need to make this more complex. Instead, we plan to spend our time working on some other important features and new themes.
When you purchase an extended license, you are allowed to modify the code as you wish and resell the script to a client under your own brand. A regular license may also be used for a similar purpose (i.e., you can purchase it and transfer the license to your client); however, using it under your own brand is not permitted with this option.
According to Envato’s rules, one license allows you to sell a single copy to one client, so no additional license is required for that. Our script comes with a built-in licensing system, and you can always use our helpdesk (https://codingest.net/licenses) to generate a license for your domain or change an existing one.
Additionally, our licensing system is completely offline and does not connect your website to any external server. It operates fully independently and offline, ensuring that your site will continue to work even in the future, regardless of external factors.
Thanks.
