At this point, owning Voxel Theme license and not owning Voxel Toolkit license is like buying a Maybach but refusing to get a driver/chauffeur and insisting on driving and maintaining it yourself LOL

Congrats!! Awesome features :)

I've tried the AI Bot feature, but somehow the AI settings tab is blank for me.

Donald McGuinn 6 months ago

Sonny turn off the AI bot function, then enter in your AI credentials. then you can turn it on.

Hello Donald,

Best wishes for 2026, many thanks for this update.

I’m not sure whether this issue has already been reported or if it’s only happening on my side, but when I create a saved search order and then load it, the archive page keeps reloading continuously.

Donald McGuinn 6 months ago

Ivo Nunes be sure to submit a support ticket with as much info as possible :)

Jack Dixon 6 months ago

Hi. Is anyone using the recurring dates in the archive feature?

Donald McGuinn 6 months ago

Jack Dixon I am ;)

Jack Dixon 6 months ago

Donald McGuinn I was trying not to always bombard you with my questions.

I can't get the date to work on my preview card. It show's up blank.

I'm putting in the @post(recurring-date.upcoming.start) that's suggested in the docs, but I get nothing

Donald McGuinn 6 months ago

Jack Dixon make sure you have the field key right. just search for your event date and do the upcoming start.

Jack Dixon 6 months ago

Donald McGuinn If I do the upcoming start, not anything to do with recurring, then all the events it creates show the same date on the preview card

Jack Dixon why are you breaking stuff??? submit a ticket, send me a one click login using the new Voxel Toolkit Temp Login. Then login under Users > Temp Login (VT)

Jack Dixon 6 months ago

Donald McGuinn Don't shoot the messenger!

All done and ticket created.

Love the category synonym. Would be really cool if we could do synonyms for businesses too. Essentially to compensate for spelling mistakes in the quick search function.

Jack Dixon for post titles?

Jack Dixon 6 months ago

Donald McGuinn yeah. I have some businesses where the title means it doesn't show up because it's really easily misspelled.

Donald McGuinn 6 months ago

Jack Dixon hmmm. then maybe a text field where they can add tags for their business and then enable the field in the keyword search. all native in voxel.

Jack Dixon 6 months ago

Donald McGuinn do you mean already native? Or you could make it happen?

Donald McGuinn 6 months ago

Jack Dixon Voxel can natively do this.

Jack Dixon 6 months ago

Donald McGuinn How do I make my text be used for the search? Does it need to be displayed on the listing? or just filled in when completing the listings?

Donald McGuinn 6 months ago

Jack Dixon in the keyword filter, check mark that field you added. Does not need to be shown on the front end.

Hey guys, Is there an easy way to add AI bot to all pages at once?

Donald McGuinn 6 months ago

Leonard you can use the action widget to trigger the AI bot, or use the messenger widget and enable the AI bot inside it and it will be on every page if you put the widget in header or footer. all in voxel toolkit currently.

Leonard 6 months ago

Donald McGuinn got it. totally missed the widgets! Glad i asked.

Hey — how can I help?

I can dig through the library for snippets, addons, and tutorials.

AI can be wrong — double-check anything important.
