Striking is surpassed 10600 sales and 1300 "5 star ratings" - Thank you for your support and confidence in Striking!
Since its release Oct 2010, Striking has had 43 separate updates of NEW features, more then any other theme in the Themeforest marketplace. Striking is dedicated to keeping its users up to date with Wordpress and the latest features available in the wordpress theme world.
This version is for existing users only and has to be run from within the theme, or the integrity checks it runs can fail and future updates may not work properly.
After updating to 5.1.7.1 users should see the Striking 5.1.8 availability notice in their admin. A reminder that immediately after the update you need to go to the Advance Panel, toggle "Clear Cache" to the On position, and save. Your screen will refresh, the toggle will now show back in the off position, and then your images, sliders, etc will be functioning. It will be necessary from now on to run the Clear Cache function after each update - it is due to multisite compatibility built into Striking.
There is a new Announcement thread dedicated solely to this update, and it has detailed installation instructions, as well as what you should do if you have any problems.
Users can update to Wordpress 3.3.2. So far our testing with WP3.3.2 has not revealed any issues. However, one should back up ones site and database prior to performing the update, as it does make some database adjustments, and the backup will allow you to roll back should you encounter any issues. Should you find a compatibility problem between Striking and WP3.2.2, please report it on the forum. WE REMIND ALL DO NOT UPDATE TO WP 3.4 UNTIL YOU SEE THE GO AHEAD ON THIS FORUM AND ON THE THEMEFOREST STRIKING SALES PAGE.
Symplex 1.8 has been released. You can get it from themeforest or use the update feature in admin panel. More than 30 features has been added. So we suggest very user can update it to the latest version before you ask the questions. And since Symplex 1.7, we have added full support of woocommerce plugin, you can use it to create an e-commercial site by yourself. However, it still needs more tests. We appreciate your helping us complete it and make it better.
There are also some other changes on the horizon, as Kappy and I have been "absorbed" into a larger software company and it has wordpress product development underway that is very exciting - announcements about that are a some time away yet - but there shall be an upgrade path for existing Striking users (its part of our mission to ensure this ability), and trust us, you will want to do it! (alas it will not be free). Never fear however, we will continue to support Striking - that is independent (it belongs to us, and has nothing to do with this new work).

1) We note some users come to the forum with a question and expecting an answer in seconds, minutes, or hours at most. Sorry, but it does not work that way, although we wish it could. The support team's first priority is to examine and respond to core code matters. Such work is extremely time consuming - research and resolution can take many hours for a single matter. So your not being ignored, just prioritized!
2) If you have updated your Striking and WP to the latest version, and suddenly your slideshow or another function stops working - the most common cause is almost always a permissions issue or a plugin conflict. Please read the Announcement thread on permissions:
http:/www.kaptinlin.com/support/discussion/1281/server-permissions-how-to-adjust-your-hosting-if-your-settingssliders-not-working-7-april11
as this is a user, not a developer, responsibility. On some hosts, the wordpress updating process resets the permissions, and you have to then adjust them again.
3) We suggest all NEW STRIKING USERS do the following when using Striking for the first time:
a) upload striking
b) do not load any plugins until you have created pages, changed colors, loaded images, created slideshows, played around with portfolios, galleries, blogs, widgets and and shortcodes, and learned how to successfully use all the Striking functions. Many plugins are written for the default WP theme Twenty Ten/Eleven, which contains no js, so if used with a theme with js like Striking, conflicts due to poor plugin coding occur which break theme elements.
4) After you have downloaded Striking from Themeforest, you should review the Striking documentation. The Striking documentation is currently a pdf file and located in the Documentation folder of the Themeforest zip. We suggest you review it before you install Striking.
Thanks to everyone for supporting Striking - it promises to support you in return - 38 updates of new features since original release Oct 2010 - averaging more then 2 updates of new features monthly. We believe no other wordpress theme anywhere compares in respect to features, customization and support and hope you agree!
Happy Striking!

I have reports of Striking used without purchase of license. Very unfair since only $40 for huge premium theme with most features anywhere. If you have Striking on 3 sites, you must buy 3 license. If you have on 10 sites, you must buy 10 license. A license per use is legal requirement.
