Template Plugin Listings Suggestions

[greg_beyer]

Hello,
I have a couple of suggestion for the templates plugin page, and I can help if you're interested.

First, It would be very helpful for people searching for templates to check out a demo of a template. Some authors post the demo page directly on their plugin listing, others somewhere in the support forum, others not at all (no way to LOOK at the look and feel of a prospective demo??) Could this be standardized, preferably posted on the plugin listing, so people can quickly get to it. A hot link would be best.

Second - I find numerous themes with invalid/expired/non-responsive URLs for the offered demo. I can only presume these themes are not supported or dead. Can these be culled and cleaned out of the plugin page? If the Z-C mods need someone to go through the templates and flag these without, or with invalid, URLs, I offer my help. I'll compile results in an XLS and send it to you.

Thanks for your consideration.

Greg

As I'm looking for themes myself, I've kept results. 18 of the 23 responsive templates offer invalid demo URLs. Significantly, all of picaflur-azul's demos are invalid, due to the site not being found (http://zenlyzen.com). This person has contributed quite a few, so perhaps the mods want to contact this person?

One theme, Fidelity, isn't a responsive theme, so belongs in the legacy category.

I hope this is useful to the Z-C team.

Greg, thank you for your kind offer - please send me URLs of plugins that need their descriptions updated to remove demos that no longer work.

https://picaflor-azul.com/ is where you'll find her work.

Another idea is can we have the version compatible number next to the templates? I spent along time looking last night trying to work out which templates will easily run with the latest 1.5.7 release... and I'm still not feeling confident about any of them...
