Overview

The Spice Box plugin is designed to enhance the functionality of the SpicePress theme by Spicethemes, allowing users to create dynamic sections on the home page including sliders, services, portfolios, and testimonials. It introduces repeater controls in the WordPress customizer, enabling users to live-edit their site content without navigating away from the customizer screen. Currently supporting the SpicePress theme, the plugin is planned to extend compatibility to other Spicethemes in the future. The plugin also incorporates external resources like Alpha Color Picker and Repeater Control to provide a rich customization experience, and it utilizes a variety of CC0 Public Domain licensed images for various elements such as sliders and testimonials.

  • Creates slider, service, portfolio, and testimonial sections on the home page.
  • Improves the visual appeal and functionality of the SpicePress theme.

Live Customizer Integration

  • Allows creation of repeater controls directly in the customizer settings.
  • Enables live site customization without leaving the customizer screen.

Future Theme Support

  • Currently supports SpicePress WordPress Theme.
  • Plans to support other themes by Spicethemes in the future.

Utilization of External Resources

  • Incorporates Alpha Color Picker and Repeater Control from Codeinwp.
  • Uses Image Radio Button Custom Control by Anthony Hortin.

User sentiment analysis

Users appreciate some functionalities in the WordPress plugin, but several critical issues detract from their overall experience. Positively, the plugin includes useful features like customizer controls that enhance site aesthetics. However, users encounter severe compatibility issues, particularly with different PHP versions and themes. Updates tend to break existing site designs (like the Chilly theme), causing 500 server errors due to missing files in the include section. A notable drawback is unauthorized changes made by the plugin, like altering logos and homepage content for self-promotion, which users find disruptive and unprofessional. Thus, while the plugin offers useful features, its instability and unauthorized modifications make it unreliable.

june 3 2020 Another update that breaks the chilly theme. Spicepress got a new feature which works fine, Chilly however shares most files with spicepress but alas.. the include file is missing from the list of include files for the chilly theme. to fix it: check spicebox.php file for the line containing (line 53): if ( ‘Chilly’ == $theme->name || ‘SpiceBlue’ == $theme->name){ then insert this line below line 53: //Alpha Color Control require( SPICEB_PLUGIN_DIR . ‘/inc/controls/customizer-alpha-color-picker/class-spicepress-customize-alpha-color-control.php’); so your file will look like: if ( ‘Chilly’ == $theme->name || ‘SpiceBlue’ == $theme->name){ //Alpha Color Control require( SPICEB_PLUGIN_DIR . ‘/inc/controls/customizer-alpha-color-picker/class-spicepress-customize-alpha-color-control.php’); ========================================================= Another older issue: Today was the second time my website was badly broken by this plugin, due to the fact that there is an error in the include section.. it wants to include a file that does not exist. therefore the site throws a 500 server error. I fixed this for the first time by renaming the file in order for it to be opened. Also added that to the support pages, but today just a repetition of moves. again an update and again with the bad code. I keep fixing this manually, but spicebox is not on auto update any longer.

No recomiendo para nada instalar este Plugin. Hace cambios no autorizados: – Te cambia el logotipo por el suyo – Te cambia la página de inicio y pone texto para hacerse publicidad…. – Te cambia el pié de página y pone su propio logotipo. No lo instales, sobre todo en producción. Te estropea todo…. ¡¡¡¡¡NADA RECOMENDABLE!!!!!
