So, apart from themes... what else is going on at Thrive?

Before we close out this post, we wanted to let our valued customers know that although we've been a bit quieter lately with our release schedule, we are working behind-the-scenes on some major improvements. These are the kind that take quite some time to prepare and to be release-ready.

However, in addition to these 2 new themes, we’ve also released an array of minor improvements today that will upgrade your Thrive experience. Here they are:

3. Stripe Improvements for Thrive Apprentice

For those of you selling online courses and membership— this is for you:

Our Stripe integrations with Thrive Apprentice just got a big improvement.

Previously, there was the hassle of finding your Stripe API keys and configuring test/live environments and products in Stripe. It worked, but it wasn't the most intuitive approach, and required you to swap back-and-forth between Thrive Apprentice and Stripe.

No more!

In our latest release, we've made it so much easier to start selling from Thrive Apprentice.

Now, when you click on 'Connect Stripe', there's a super simple authorization process that takes only a few clicks to pick from an existing Stripe account or to create and authorize a new one for Thrive Apprentice to begin managing products for you.

You'll see a screen just like this one below:

Then, once you're authorized, you can immediately configure pricing settings for your Thrive Apprentice products right from inside of website backend, without ever leaving. No API keys. No jumping back and forth.

When you want to start selling, simply click 'Add Product Price' in the backend of Thrive Apprentice, choose if you want to sell with a 'One Time' or 'Recurring' payment, set the currency and the billing frequency... and you're done!

Your Stripe products are automatically created for you and tied to the correct Thrive Apprentice course. Stripe will create a simple, minimalist checkout page and when your customers complete a purchase on that page, they'll get instantly added to your Thrive Apprentice course.

With one click you can swap from a 'Test' environment, to check that your course access is working‚ to a 'Live' environment, where you can begin taking purchases and growing your business.

Change your prices any time you want to just by coming back to Thrive Apprentice. We even have support for pre-populating email addresses on the Stripe checkout form, and for supporting Stripe coupons and promotion codes.

This is now a complete system for selling courses in Thrive Apprentice, and it genuinely only takes minutes to get up and running.

Try it out!

4. Other Resolved Issues + Improvements

This release also addresses a handful of smaller issues, so make sure to update to the latest version if you're experienced any of the following.

🍔 Mobile Menu Gap Resolved: We've fixed an issue where the hamburger menu on mobile was creating an unwanted space. Now your off-screen menu will display clearly, without any gaps.

🚨 Warning Errors Resolved: Some users reported unusual warning errors while editing pages or templates in Thrive Architect. We've resolved this issue, allowing you to edit without those interruptions.

🙈 Table of Content Headings Visibility: The Table of Content Headings were sometimes being obscured by Sticky Headers. We've brought them to the forefront again for easier content navigation.

🎥 TikTok Feeds Support: With the release of TikTok Feeds (Free) for Smash Balloon, we've updated our Smash Balloon element in Thrive Architect. Pro version users won't be affected by this update.

🔍 Form Identifier Detection: We've ensured that the Form Identifier of a Lead Generation element inside a Symbol is now detectable when creating an automation in Thrive Automator.

🅰️ Custom Fonts Compatibility: We've resolved an issue where changes to the Course Overview Page couldn't be saved when the Custom Fonts plugin was active. You can now customize freely.

📜 Increased Feed Limit: We've removed the 20-feed limit on the SmashBalloon integration, allowing you to access all your YouTube feeds, even if you have over 200.

4️⃣ Megamenu Dropdown Column Fix: We've resolved a bug where the Megamenu Dropdown Column count reverted to 4 when a Conditional Display was applied. You can now set the desired number of columns without unexpected changes.

🎥 Video Lessons Watch Progress Fix: We've addressed a rare issue where users were unable to proceed to the next lesson unless the video progress was 100% complete, even when no progress requirements were set. Now, users should be able to navigate through lessons smoothly, and admins can access all lessons without restrictions.

We want you to know that we take all your requests and concerns seriously. So, if you come across an issue, reach out to our support and we’ll get right to it.

We’ve Got More On the Way…

As I said earlier, we’re here to give you the tools you need to make your business win. 

And our team is working on more features (and themes) to help you design your perfect website much, much faster, and to build a better business. Some of the work we are doing will take quite some time to be release-ready, so watch this space to be notified when we’ve got more in store for you.

If you’re a current Thrive Suite customer, keep an eye on your emails.

And if you aren’t part of the Thrive family yet…

  • Would love to see “rotate” and “skew” added to the image manipulation options. Would give me more flexibility without going into Photoshop and could add for some nice hover effects on desktop.

    Apart from that, I’m building out a health supplement ecom landing page that would benefit from a theme but what I need most is an image carousel option that shows and lets you select different images from smaller thumbnails below the featured carousel image.

    Also, I’ve found no built-in way to have logos animated to scroll horizontally on loop for an “as featured in” section on the page (fantastic for mobile conversion rates to show all logos without taking up horizontal space.

    Ya’ll rock 🤜❤️🤛

    • Derek, I love this comment because 2 of your 3 requests are related to improvements we’ve very recently been discussing on our product team. We’ll see what we can do about them, and will add your feature request in the meantime.

      Hope your ecom landing page design comes out looking sharp!

  • Thanks very much for these updates especially the Stripe improvement. Meanwhile, I have been requesting “Video Lessons Watch Progress for videos hosted on bunny.net”, could you please add this feature in your next update?

    • Hey Bryan, when we first added the Video Watch Progress, Bunny.net didn’t have support for it via their video player API. But I think they may have updated it since. We’ll log your request and explore it when we have time. Thanks for your comment!

      • Thanks for the response, it will mean a lot to me… I pray you guys have the time to consider my request…

  • I have a suggestion, we already have themes for book authors, Yoga, music, etc… why not create a theme dedicated to course creators?

    • That can be done, but the question is— what niche? For example, a Yoga instructor may sell online courses, book authors may sell novel writing courses. A generic course-creator theme is possible, but niche specific ideas are even better

  • Great.
    I’d like also a more powerful analityc on quiz builder.
    So i can see every day what quiz perfomr best and in what page.
    In a unique dashbord and not only quiz by quiz.
    Hi hope for this 🙂

  • Thanks for the updates!
    I would like to have a GDPR friendly contact form option so that I don’t get bot messages. Using Google reCAPTCHA makes it too complicated with the GDPR.

    Before you can send the message, a little math would be enough:
    2+3 = ?
    🤷‍♂️
