Will you be introducing a paid subscription anytime soon? Your program is very nice and easy to work with. But adding a paid subscription, for example, to banks, PayPal, and Stripe, would be great so we could set up paid access to the platform.
Hello,
We are planning to introduce a premium membership feature in the next update. With this feature, subscribed users will gain access to premium content.
Regards,
Thank you for your reply and when do you plan to release the update?
You are welcome. We are doing our best to complete this update as soon as possible, but it is taking more time than we initially expected. The update will likely be completed within the next month.

Ok, great, I’ll be waiting. Regards.
Thank you.
Why do my related posts only show 5 instead of 6? How can I fix that? Thank you.
Never mind, I only have 6 posts—that’s why.
Hello,
Yes, other posts from the same category are displayed in this section. Therefore, if there are fewer posts in the category, the number of posts shown in this section will be lower.

Hello friends, regarding the advertising banners: 1. Is it possible to display only one advertisement at a time in each space?
Would it be possible in the next update to add a feature that allows multiple ads to be placed in the same space?
Hello, the reason each ad space accepts only a single ad code is to ensure that the advertisement is displayed properly and with correct dimensions on the site. If multiple ads were placed within the same slot, the height of the ad container could not remain fixed, which might cause layout issues with certain ad codes.
Instead of allowing multiple ad codes within a single ad space, we may consider increasing the number of available ad spaces. We will think about this approach and evaluate it in future updates.
Thank you.
Thank you for your reply – the system is perfect, the best on the portal! Which country are you in?
I’d like to suggest another option – would it be possible to create a slider in a future update to allow for the creation of random ads in a single position?
I apologize for my insistence, but for my type of business, this feature would be very interesting!
Thank you!
As mentioned in our previous message, we may make some changes to the advertisement areas in future updates. While working on these improvements, we may consider adding a slider-based advertisement area or other similar options. However, we would like to point out that such slider implementations often have a negative impact on page loading speed. We will evaluate all options carefully and prioritize solutions that do not compromise overall site performance.
Good morning, I’d like to increase the length of articles when downloading RSS. Is this possible? I’m referring to the RSS import section.
Hello,
Good morning to you as well.
When a post is added to your site via an RSS feed, the amount of content imported depends entirely on what the source website provides in its feed. If the source site distributes only the post summary, then only that summary will be imported. Most websites intentionally publish summaries rather than full content in their RSS feeds. Attempting to forcibly import the full post content may result in copyright or content usage issues. For this reason, the Varient script does not attempt to fetch or scrape full article content from the source website, and imports only the content explicitly made available by the source.
For example, the Varient script also provides a related setting for your own site. In the admin panel, under ’’Preferences > General’’, you can configure the ’’RSS Content’’ option. If you select ’’Distribute Post Content’’, users who use your site’s RSS feeds will receive the full post content. If you prefer to distribute only the summary, you can instead select the ’’Distribute only Post Summary’’ option.

Is there a way to hide the following? Thank you
Add to Slider Add to Featured Add to Breaking Add to Recommended
Hello,
Only users with the “Manage All Posts” permission can see these options when adding posts. Since authors do not have this permission by default, these settings are not available to them. You can manage permissions for each role in the “Roles & Permissions” section of the admin panel.

Thank you.
You are welcome.
There are issues showing thumbnail image of the article when sharing the link on social media.
Example:
https://news.cims.org/aortic-dissection-what-you-need-to-know-from-causes-to-careWhen I try posting this on social media / facebook for example – the link generates but the image thumbnail shows blank.
How do I fix this ?
Hello,
We have replied to the ticket you submitted regarding this issue. Please check our help desk.
Thanks.
1: Is there option to display daily, weekly and monthly unique visitors or traffic on the dashboards, if there is no such option are you including it soon in your update?
2: Can you transfer or migrate WordPress website to this script without loosing any article or post from old WordPress website ? If it’s possible can you do that for me ?
Hello,
1: We are planning to add this type of reports and charts to the admin panel dashboard. We may also include visitor statistics, but these details are not yet fully decided.
2: You can use the ’’Bulk Post Upload’’ feature of the Varient script to move all your posts at once. Please refer to the ’’Bulk Post Upload > Help Documents’’ section of the admin panel to review the related documentation, the template, and the example file. To move all your posts using this feature, you need to create a table for your posts, or edit an existing one, in phpMyAdmin. The column names in the table must match the column names in the CSV outline file. After preparing the table, you can export it as a CSV file and upload it from the “Bulk Post Upload” section. Unfortunately, we will not able to move your posts for you. If you need assistance with this process, you may want to work with a developer.
Regards,
When’s the update? Are you going to be adding payment options? Don’t tell me you’re gonna give that old line about “o we don’t wanna give a date etc etc ”
You still have best script in it’s class by far on code canyon but could be better
Happy Holidays!
Hello,
The premium membership feature will be added. However, as we mentioned in previous comments, this will not be a simple update. We will be rewriting almost all back-end code to transform it into a modern, much more advanced system. Once we add more themes in the following updates, the script will become a top-level product in terms of modern coding standards, speed & performance, and design. It will be much better than the current version.
The update will most likely not be finished this month, but we are doing our best to complete it as soon as possible. However, this should not affect you. You can continue using your website normally. Once the update is released, you will be able to update your site smoothly and continue using it without any issues.
Thank you. Happy Holidays!
Hi! I have version 1.0 installed on my hosting; is it possible to upgrade to 2.4.3?
Hi,
Unfortunately, versions older than v1.8.x are no longer supported. You may want to download the latest version of the script and perform a fresh installation.
Regards,
Good script, the problem is that the article thumbnails do not display well on the phone. Please review this matter. Regards.
Hello,
Thank you.
Could you please explain the issue in more detail? When we open our demo site on a mobile device, the article images appear correctly, so we do not see any problems. If possible, please provide a screenshot to help us confirm the issue more easily. We are currently working on a new update, so if we confirm a problem, we may fix it in the upcoming release.
Thank you for your interest in our Varient script.
No, the problem is that the image is zoomed in, for example, if there is something written on one of the sides, it does not appear, unlike the infinite script, where the image appears completely. Try putting an image with something written on it in the slider and even on the side of the slider, unlike infinite. Best regards, best team.
The image optimization code for both Variant and Infinite is exactly the same.The script does not implement zoom for images. However, if you attempt to place an image (e.g., a 300×300px image) inside a frame of a different size (e.g., 300×200px), the only way to fit the image into this frame without distorting its aspect ratio is to center the image and crop it from the edges.There is absolutely no other way to do this. This is how it works on all websites you see on the internet. If you do not do this, every image on your site will have a different size, which results in a very unprofessional appearance. Therefore, there are no issues whatsoever with the image optimization in our script, and the small changes you see are mandatory and necessary processes used by all other systems.
Thank you.
Hi team,
I have a question about something I’ve noticed while using Varient more extensively. Right now, the script has no internal communication system at all—no way for admins, editors, or writers to talk to each other, coordinate, leave notes, or discuss articles. Everything has to be done through a third-party platform (Messenger, WhatsApp, email, etc.), or by custom-coding an internal tool.
For a news/magazine script that supports multiple authors and is being expanded with premium membership and more advanced workflows, an internal communication panel seems like it would eventually become necessary. Even a simple admin-only discussion area, an internal messaging inbox, or a notes system would make multi-author management much easier.
So my question is:
Why has there never been any discussion or feature plan for an internal communication system for the admin/editor/writer roles?
It feels like something many multi-author sites would benefit from, especially those operating with large teams. I’m not criticizing — I’m genuinely curious if there’s a design reason behind not including it, or if it just hasn’t been requested enough.
Thanks.
Hi,
The chat feature is not essential for the current themes. In the future, if we introduce a theme that requires it, we may consider adding it. However, at the moment, we do not have such a plan.
Thanks.
Hello, how can I allow a user to publish a post directly, even if they don’t have the “manage_all_posts” permission and only have the “add_posts” permission? thank you
Hello,
If you want regular members on your site to be able to add posts, you can grant the ’’Member’’ role the permission to add posts. You can manage this permission in the ’’Roles & Permissions’’ section of the admin panel.
Thank you.
Hello, thank you very much for your quick reply. I need to do this for a user role that I created. I saw that there is an option for members, but I need it for a user role that I created and that has an ID of 6 in the database. I was thinking of forcing the post status to published if the logged-in user role is 6. Would that work?
I solved it. Thanks anyway.
Hello,
We are glad to hear that the issue has been resolved.

Dear Codingest Support Team
Thank you very much for your previous reply to Ticket ID #8125 regarding the RSS import issue. I truly appreciate you taking the time to respond.
I regret to inform you that my official support period has now expired.
However, as I still require a resolution for the core RSS import functionality,I was hoping you could please provide some final guidance.
To make the integration 100% compatible, can you please provide the exact RSS format that your importer expects?
Please clarify these points:
1. Required tags inside each <item>
Which tags are mandatory for successful import?
<title>
<description>
<summary> (if supported)
<content:encoded> (full content?)
<link>
<guid>
<pubDate>
<category>
<author>
Please confirm which of these are required or optional.
2. DESCRIPTION vs SUMMARY
Your importer kis tag ko summary ke liye use karta hai?
Does <description> contain the full article, or just a short summary?
Do you support a separate <summary> tag?
Agar dono supported hain → preferred mapping kya hai?
3. FULL CONTENT FORMAT
For full article content:
Should it be placed inside <description>?
Or inside <content:encoded><![CDATA[ … ]]></content:encoded>?
Does your importer support HTML inside content (p, br, img, strong etc.)?
Should we escape HTML or use CDATA?
4. IMAGE HANDLING (VERY IMPORTANT)
We also want to include image credit / source to avoid copyright issues. Please confirm:
Which tag should be used for the main image?
<enclosure url=”” type=””>
<media:content url=””>
inside description/content
Do you support an image caption / credit field?
e.g., <media:description>
or should we place credit text inside <description>?
If possible, please share a sample of how an image + credit should appear in your RSS.
5. PUBDATE format
Which date format do you require?
Example: Mon, 08 Dec 2025 07:12:23 +0530
Or any other format?
6. XML NAMESPACES
Do you support:
content: namespace
media: namespace
dc: namespace
Please confirm which namespaces we should include.
7. SAMPLE REQUIRED
If possible, please send me one complete RSS <item> example that your importer successfully accepts.
Any brief final advice on this matter would be an immense help in getting my setup working, even post-support.
Thank you once again for your understanding and generosity in providing this last bit of assistance.
Best regards
Hello,
Unfortunately, this request is not covered within our product support scope. Even if you have active support, explaining how to manually create a valid RSS file is not our responsibility because when using our script, you never need to manually create an RSS file. The script automatically generates the required RSS feeds based on the content on your site.
To view them, you can simply click on the RSS icon in your site’s footer to access the RSS page. In our demo, it looks like this: https://varient.codingest.com/rss-feeds . By clicking on any feed there, you can see how a valid RSS structure should look.
Additionally, even if the structure is correct, sometimes special characters or language-specific characters can break the RSS format.
The easiest solution might be this: you can install a second instance of our script on a subdomain. Then you can add your posts there and copy the automatically generated RSS code to use wherever you need.
Thank you.
Best regards.
Hi! When is the next sale?
Hi,
We assume you are referring to the next update. We are currently working on it and aiming to complete it before the new year. However, we cannot rush the development, and we will release it only when it is fully ready. Therefore, depending on our progress, the release date may be postponed to the new year.
Thanks.
Awesome, can’t wait for the new update.
I was wondering if there’s an “infinite scroll” feature already implemented in this CMS?
When you are on an article and scroll down, it will automatically show the next article without refreshing the page and so on. Please let me know 
This feature is not currently available. While we cannot make any promises at this time, we may consider adding it as an optional feature in the future.
Thanks.
Hello, is possible change edge radius posts on the home page? Thanks
Hello,
The current themes are built with a flat design, which means border radius is not used for post images. In the future, a different theme with this kind of design may be added, but we don’t know for sure yet. However, this can be done with a simple piece of code. If you add this code from the Admin panel, the change will take effect:
<style>.image {border-radius: 10px !important;overflow: hidden;}</style>
Thanks.
Hello, you liked your design very much. Are you considering adding Turkish language?
Hello,
Thank you. We are glad to hear that.
You can easily add other languages to your site from the ’’Language Settings’’ section of the admin panel. The Arabic language on our demo site simply demonstrates that the script supports RTL (right-to-left) languages as well. We have shared the language files for some of the most commonly used languages in our Help Center. The Turkish language file is also available, so you can download it and upload it to your site. You can also easily edit the translations.
Thank you for your interest in our script.
When should we be expecting the new update?
Hello,
We are doing our best to complete and release the update before the new year. However, we cannot do so until it is fully ready. Because of this, we cannot make any promises at the moment, and depending on the situation, the release date may be postponed to the new year.

Hello buddy, i have installed your code on my one domain named as pcnlive.in around year ago. But now the domain has expired, and I have bought a new domain, so it’s giving me an error message. How to fix this issue?
Hello,
It appears that you haven’t purchased the script with this account. To provide support, we first need to confirm your purchase. Please contact us through our Help Center using the account associated with your license, so we can verify it: https://codingest.com/
Thank you.
Hello, thanks for your reply.
Actually, this code was purchased using an account belonging to one of our colleagues, who is no longer part of the team. Can we do something else to address this?
Hello,
You may want to contact the account owner and request the license file for this purchase. They can download the license file from the CodeCanyon account used to make the purchase. If you send this file to us through our Help Center by opening a ticket, we can verify it and remove the registered license from the previous account, allowing you to generate a new license key on your new account in our Help Center.
Thank you.
Have you ever thought about creating other projects like a BuzzFeed clone for entertainment? With some variant features, such as allowing authors to publish content and get paid.
Hello,
We are not planning to create another script in the news and entertainment field. Varient is already a high-quality project, and we want to make it the best in this area. We aim to achieve this with a new admin panel, new themes, and new features. Currently, authors can earn money per view for the articles they publish. In the next update, we also plan to add a premium membership feature. In future updates, there may also be the option to pay authors per article they add. For more features, please follow our updates. Our script will continue to improve over time.
Thanks.
Hi!. I read that you’re going to release a major update. Would it be possible in the future to replace Bootstrap with Tailwind? This would create very faster load times and allow you to generate more themes for the next generation (like mashable, the verge, New York Times).
Hi,
Although Tailwind offers a modern and convenient structure, it does not provide a significant performance advantage in traditional PHP-based projects. The main reason is that Tailwind’s real efficiency comes from Node.js-based build processes. In technologies like React, Next.js, or Vue, Tailwind compiles only the classes used in the project and removes everything else, resulting in a very small CSS output that directly improves performance.
However, since this build process does not exist in classic PHP projects, Tailwind is loaded at full size, which prevents any meaningful performance difference compared to Bootstrap.
For this reason, we will continue using Bootstrap, as you will not notice any difference between the two frameworks from an end-user perspective.
Thank you.
