How do we prevent fake page views? Users may use bots to increase page views and request for a pay.

Hello,

Our script counts only unique page views. It uses cookies, IP address, and user-agent data to identify unique visits. While counting these views, it also checks whether the request is coming from a robot, browser, or mobile device.

Since these methods may not always be sufficient, we’ve also included a ’’Human Verification’’ system. You can find this feature in the ’’Admin Panel > Reward System > Human Verification’’ section. You can enable it and configure the following metrics: ’’Minimum Time Spent on the Page’’, ’’Minimum Mouse Movements’’, and ’’Minimum Scroll Movements’’. Only visits that meet these criteria will be counted as valid page views.

Thank you.

Thank you. I am expecting the new update this month.

There will be new Varient updates; however, we haven’t started working on the next update yet, so there is no estimated release date at the moment. We are currently focusing on another one of our scripts.

Thank you.

Can add Tag to post content instead use href html ?

Hello, tags are typically rendered as links, so displaying them without using is not supported by default. However, if you prefer, you can edit the codes to render the tags using or any other HTML element instead of links. Thanks.

Hello, i have been trying on numerous occasion to preview this item and also open the documentation but i keep getting the message on the screenshort. Is this something you can look into. https://prnt.sc/a1apjcEpaFUI , https://prnt.sc/iSbRJKAr1RLG

I sent you the precise location, plus some other issues we encountered. Unfortunately, we send this under the “Report Bug” section as it is the only active one for us.

We’ve received your report. We’ll investigate and resolve this issue. In the meantime, you can use the offline documentation that comes with the product. Other reports you submit will be reviewed during the new update. Thank you.

Hello again,

We have investigated this issue but couldn’t find a solution with our current hosting provider. Therefore, we set up a demo on a different hosting platform. If there are no access issues with this new hosting, we plan to move our helpdesk there as well.

We’re reaching out to you again to confirm this. Could you please check the demo and let us know if you experience any issues accessing it: https://varient.codingest.com/

Thank you.

Hi, I hope you are doing well there is some point might you consider in your next release : To add a template, complex steps must be followed:

When creating a new template: We must manually save the information in the database so it appears in the admin panel.
Two solutions exist for this:
Option A: Scan the template folder by loading folders as available templates, with a button that, when clicked, retrieves the template name and saves it in the database as the active template.
Option B: Upload templates as ZIP files (like WordPress). During upload, their information is stored in the database.
Deleting a template: Similarly, there should be a button for each template. When "Delete" is clicked, both the template files and the corresponding database record should be deleted.

Hi,

Thank you, we are fine. Hope you are fine too.

Unfortunately, adding a theme is not part of this product or its support. We have provided a brief explanation on how a new theme can be added, but it’s intended only for developers. If you want to add a theme, you need to be a developer, otherwise, it won’t be possible. We ourselves plan to add new themes in the future, so we will continue to improve the system in terms of theme options. However, we have no plans to add tools or features that would simplify or enable other developers to add themes.

Thanks.

author > only can see their posting or all posting?

Hello,

Yes, authors can only see their own posts in their panel. You can log in to the author account on our demo site to verify this. The login details are: author@codingest.com 1234 Additionally, you can choose whether authors see all uploaded files or only their own by adjusting the “File Manager – Show Only User’s Own Files” setting in the ’’Preferences > General’’ section of the admin panel.

The reward system allows authors to earn money based on the number of page views their posts receive. If you enable this system, you agree to pay authors based on page views.

These are the payout methods available in the reward system. You can enable the ones you prefer and set a minimum payout amount. Once an author’s earnings reach this threshold, they can request a payout by selecting one of the enabled methods. After receiving a payout request, the site management will manually send the payment to the author’s chosen account and complete the process.

Thank you.

https://prnt.sc/SRvsyDS2T6CB > what is iban or swift payment? payment via bank transfer?

Both IBAN and SWIFT are used for bank transfers. IBAN is typically used for local or European (SEPA) transfers, while SWIFT is mainly used for international transfers outside of Europe. You can enable or disable these payment options based on your preferences.

To view the input fields for these payment options, go to the “My Earnings” section in the admin panel and click on “Set Payout Account” to see the enabled payout options.

Thank you.

Hello, thank you for the great work. But I have a question: When I add a single article video with an embed from YouTube, the thumbnail is also embedded from YouTube. But if I embed the video using bulk mode in a CSV, it’s uploaded to the server and takes up a lot of space. Can you tell me any option or fix to make bulk videos upload with thumbnails from YouTube videos instead of uploading to the server? Thanks

Hello,

When adding a video from the admin panel, you can provide the video thumbnail as a link (the system will fetch it automatically). However, this feature is not available when importing via CSV. During CSV import, all images are downloaded and saved to the server. Thanks.

Hello, okay, but there are 5 versions of each picture in different sizes for 1 article. Can you please tell me why and how I can decrease this? I have thousands of pictures and inodes and have reached my limit.

Hello, we understand this, but as we mentioned, there’s no such option currently. Adding this would require editing the code. If you intend to continue using our support service and would like a solution to this issue, please renew your support and contact us through our help desk. While no special modifications are normally included in product support, we will assist you with this issue.

Or you can wait for new updates. Maybe we can add this option in the future, but even if we say we will consider adding a feature, that wouldn’t be considered a promise.

Can you also tell me the optimized robots.txt file for this script because it is important.

Hello,

The robots.txt file is already included in the script files, and there are no issues with it. The code in this file allows all links on your site to be crawled and indexed. Therefore, unless you specifically want to prevent certain links from being indexed, there is no need to modify this file.

Please let me know which links should be disallowed in this script. Thanks.

As mentioned, there is no need to edit this file. You may choose to disallow certain links, but this is a matter of preference, not necessity.

We also do not recommend editing this file unless you are completely sure of what you’re doing. A single incorrect directive can affect how search engines index your entire site.

Please note that your support plan has expired. If you would like to receive support, please renew your plan and contact us through our Help Center: https://codingest.net/

Thank you.

1- Google isn’t indexing the site’s pages after a certain number. Why is that?

2- When entering a text in the panel, can AI be activated and the AI ​​translate it into other languages ​​and save it in those languages ​​simultaneously?

Hello,

1- Please make sure you are using the latest version of the script and have submitted your sitemap.xml file through Google Search Console.

A previous update had a structured data issue that, in some cases, affected indexing. However, that issue has already been resolved, and there should be no problems now.

2- If the AI-generated responses follow a consistent structure, it’s possible to handle content in multiple languages. However, in our script, each language’s output is separate, and there’s no direct link between the articles generated in different languages.

One possible solution could be to add a feature like “Translate and add this content as a new language version.” This is something we could consider for future versions, it can be a useful feature.

Thanks.

Hello, amazing script, however, its missing a subscription model and as you know adsense is very strict and oftenly rejects websites. Any plugin i can use to monetize the script in any other manner?

Hello,

Thank you!

We are planning to introduce a premium membership feature in the next update. However, there is currently no estimated release date for this update.

Many of our customers have been approved by AdSense and are successfully displaying AdSense ads on their websites. So, there are no issues with the script in this regard. As long as your site has unique and interesting content, you should not encounter any problems with AdSense approval. For more information, please refer to the relevant AdSense documentation.

Additionally, besides AdSense, our script also supports similar advertising systems. If the ad system works in a similar way—activating the ad system using an activation code, and then adding the ad codes to your site—our script will be compatible with it.

We do not have any external plugins. All features are directly integrated into the script. Please note that our code is open source, and if you would like to make changes to your site, you can work with a developer to implement the necessary modifications.

Thank you for your interest.

Pakrepublic.com check my website its amazing best script ever any one have idea about approving adsense

Hello,

We’re glad to hear that you’re happy with our Varient script.

If your site has quality content, you shouldn’t face any issues getting approved by AdSense. Of course, there are other criteria as well, but there are no problems with the script itself. Many of our customers have been approved by AdSense and are successfully displaying AdSense ads on their websites.

For more information, you can refer to the relevant articles provided by Google: https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/7299563?hl=en&ref_topic=1319756&sjid=1395218226752306833-EU

Hello, what is the best PHP version to use now? I know that in the documentation version 8.1 or more, but what if I use 8.4, for example? I want advice about what the best 8 version to use, Thanks

Hello,

PHP 8.4 offers improved performance, more modern features, and various enhancements compared to earlier 8.x versions. Since our script runs smoothly on PHP 8.4, we recommend using PHP 8.4.

Thanks.

how much time need for new upcoming update

Hello,

We are currently working on one of our other scripts. Once that is complete, we will begin working on the next Varient update. However, there is no estimated release date for this update at the moment.

Regards,

Hi Author, I have a pre-sale question, If 1 license is limited to 1 domain, how can we manage for development (non-prod) environment, it can be on localhost or with a sub-domain.

Hi,

Yes, each license is valid for a single domain only. If you want to use the script on more than one domain at the same time, you’ll need a separate license for each domain. However, you can install the script on subdomains or within subfolders under the same main domain, and you can also install it on localhost without any problems.

Thank you for your interest in our Varient script.

I’m a happy customer of Variant News & Magazine Script and would love to see these enhancements:

New Post Format: “Event”

-Event Date (date picker)

-Start Time (time picker)

-Location (start/end point text fields)

-Category (Road, Mountain, Track)

-Full Description (rich-text body)

Front-End Events List Please add a built-in component on the homepage (or a dedicated page) that automatically displays upcoming events in a list —showing date, time, location, category, and title.

Having both the Event format and a front-end events listing would let us manage and present races and meetups seamlessly from the admin panel to our site visitors.

Thank you for considering these features! They would make Variant even more powerful for community and sports sites.

Hello,

We’re glad to hear that you’re happy with our Varient script.

We plan to add this feature later on, but we’re currently unable to provide a specific timeline. In the next update, we’ll be focusing on the premium membership feature, so the event post format may be included in a future update.

Thank you.

Hello,

I would like to offer a few suggestions that I believe would make the software more flexible and user-friendly:

1. Enhanced Navigation Menu with Sub-menu Support: The current navigation management in the panel is quite useful, allowing us to add categories and custom links and reorder them via drag-and-drop. However, it lacks the ability to create a hierarchical structure (i.e., sub-menus). It would be a significant improvement if we could create a parent menu item, such as “Categories,” and then place specific category links underneath it as child items. This feature would add much-needed flexibility and allow for better organization of the site’s navigation.

2. Multiple Category Selection for Content: When creating content, it is often the case that a single post or article is relevant to multiple categories. The current system only allows for the selection of a single category per content item. Adding the ability to select multiple categories when creating content would be a great benefit, improving both content management for authors and content discoverability for users.

3. A More Detailed Payout Status Flow for Authors: The current author withdrawal process is a bit too simplistic. When an author submits a withdrawal request, it seems to be directly marked as “Completed.” This can be confusing, especially when payments take a few days to process. A more transparent and informative workflow would be ideal:

The author submits a request (Status: Pending Approval).

The admin approves the request to be paid (Status: Approved / Processing).

After sending the payment, the admin manually marks the request as finished (Status: Completed). This flow would provide much better clarity for both authors and administrators.

4. Display of Total Lifetime Earnings on the Earnings Page: On the “My Earnings” page, there are currently two primary stats displayed. I suggest adding a third box to show an author’s “Total Lifetime Earnings” or “Total Amount Paid” since joining the platform. This would not only create a more visually balanced layout on the page but also provide a valuable and motivating metric for authors, allowing them to see their cumulative success at a glance.

5. Administrator Notifications for Payout Requests: Currently, when an author submits a payout request, the administrator is not actively notified. The admin must manually and repeatedly check the payout requests page to see if new requests have been submitted. This is inefficient and can lead to significant delays in processing payments. To streamline this process, an automated notification should be sent to the administrator whenever a new request is made. This could be delivered via: Email Notification: An automated email sent to a designated administrator’s address. On-Site Notification: A notification within the admin panel (e.g., a bell icon with a badge). This feature would ensure that administrators are immediately aware of new requests, allowing them to act promptly and significantly improving the efficiency of the payout process.

Thank you for considering these enhancements.

Hello,

1. We’re planning to make some changes to the category system, such as allowing subcategories to be added under other subcategories. However, since we’ll be focusing on introducing the premium membership feature in the next major update, we’re not sure if we’ll be able to work on the category system in this release. Unfortunately, there is no estimated date yet. Additionally, we may not specifically implement the functionality to add categories under a menu link. The details will be finalized later.

2. The feature for selecting multiple categories for posts is on our update list and may be included in a future release. Its timing will depend on the workload for each update.

3. When an author submits a payout request, its status will be shown as “Pending” for both the author and the admin. After the admin sends the payment and completes the request, its status will be updated to “Completed.” Pelease refer to these screenshots: https://prnt.sc/v999yInG5CAE https://prnt.sc/MZqk0CBM81XI

4. Additional improvements may be made to the Reward System in the future based on user feedback; however, we cannot make any promises at this time.

5. We have not yet implemented an email notification system. Currently, emails are only used for essential functions such as newsletters, email verification, and password resets. If we decide to develop a notification system in the future, it may include both in-system notifications and optional email alerts for certain events.

Thank you.

3. Yes, I know there is, if you do it as I said, it will be more professional and more developed.

I wish you success in your work.

We cannot make any promises; however, we will consider this suggestion.

Thank you.

Please I want to change my Domain Name. I want to install my script with a different domain Name.

Hello,

You can change your domain in the “Licenses” section of our Help Center. For more details, please refer to this article: https://codingest.net/knowledge-base?content=161

Are you doing script installations? if yes what are the charges?

Hello,

Unfortunately, script installation is not included in the item support. We also do not accept any paid requests, as we are fully focused on developing new updates to further improve our scripts.

However, we have a detailed installation guide available in our Help Center: https://codingest.net/documentation/varient#installation You can follow the step-by-step instructions in this guide to easily install the script.

Regards,

Thanks

You are welcome.

no suporte auxilia a traduzir o site para meu idioma, português brasil? o site consigo colocar o google ads? querendo comprar aqui

Hello,

The Portuguese language file is available in our Help Center. You can download this file and import it into your site via the “Language Settings > Import Language” section in the admin panel. After adding the language, you can freely edit the translations as needed.

Alternatively, you can manually add the Brazilian Portuguese in “Language Settings > Add Language” section and translate the text and words used in the script manually.

Please note that adding a new language to the site is not covered under item support, so we won’t be able to assist directly. However, if you have any questions during the process, we will be ready to answer them.

Yes, you can add Google Ads to your site from the “Ad Spaces” section in the admin panel.

Thank you.

perfeito, ja comprei e realizei a configuração, obrigado pela resposta

Thank you for choosing our Varient script.

Best regards,

Hey, this Script is Not gdpr conform. It needs the Option where people can reject or individualize Cookies. If rejected, it shouldnt allow Cookies.

This is Not possible with simple HTML Input.

Just a Cookie Warning is illegal in the EU, so please fix and Update this

Unfortunately, this option is not available for now. Even if you add a button, the Google Analytics library must not be loaded unless the user explicitly clicks the “Allow” button. Therefore, for the time being, we recommend explaining this clearly in your Privacy Policy page and placing a link to that page inside your cookie warning, so that all users can review it.

However, your concern is absolutely valid. We are planning to work on a dedicated solution for this in a future update.

This isnt allowed in the EU, its illegal, they are strict with that: Scripts are Not allowed to run, when Cookies arent accepted (Opt-in needed) It also needs a reject Button, so with privacy Policy Wouldnt Work

Thank you thats great! Please Tell me when its added, so I can purchase this Script :)

We understand that. So, as long as you don’t add third-party plugins like Google Analytics, there shouldn’t be a problem:) If such a plugin is not loaded, no cookies are set and no data is collected from visitors.

Only a session cookie is created, which is classified as a necessary cookie and does not require user consent. Aside from that, cookies are only set when the user actively takes an action such as posting a comment, using emoji reactions, voting in a poll, or changing the site theme (dark/light). These are user-initiated preferences.

If the user simply reads the cookie warning and leaves the site without interacting, no cookies will be set at all, and there should be no issue.

We are currently working on our other script. Once that work is completed, we will continue working on Varient. Since this is an important topic, we will probably work on this it in the next major update. However, unfortunately, there is no estimated date for this update at the moment. Thanks.

I have problem with sitemap. When I index it on Google shows this error- an invalid date found. Please fix the date and formating before resubmitting.

<loc>https://domain.com/literature-9</loc> <changefreq>daily</changefreq> <lastmod>2025-07-03T16:44:48+05:30</lastmod> <priority>0.8</priority>

Here it showing date of July but how

Fix it

Sorry, I searched and found that 50 posts in sitemap have last mod date -0001-00-00 which is not possible.

What will I do?

Hello,

In the system, the “updated_at” or “created_at” data in the posts table is converted to the ISO8601 date format and used as the “lastmod” in the sitemap. If there is a problem with this, you need to check the “updated_at” or “created_at” columns in the posts table in your database and make sure they contain valid date values.

Also, if you need more help or have more questions, please renew your support and contact our support team through our helpdesk.
