Is there any way I can make the “MORE” button on an individual video post page the same yellow as the social media buttons above? It currently only turns yellow when you hover over it. But I would like it to stand out BEFORE they hover over it. Thank you!

Hi Assurance,

Please use this CSS Code segment to change background color of More button
.box-more.single-full-pl{background: #CCC500;}

I have gone through all provided documentations and i can’t find the video upload page

Hi

True Mag does not have Video Upload page. Admin needs to upload in backend or using FTP.

Frontend users can only submit Video URL

Hi,

I have purchased this theme and I am having an issue with the “Grid” feature on the “Smart Content Box”.

I have downloaded the very latest (today) version but it does not change anything.

When I try to get exactly the same block content which is displayed on your demo page : it does not work.

Can you explain me how to get exactly the same block called “Featured” on this home page : http://demo.cactusthemes.com/#truemag

Is it is 2 columns block : the first column displays a big picture, and the second colunm displays 4 little pictures.

I need to know : the type of smart content used in the visual composer (I have tried with “Smart Content Box”), the displayed mode (I have tried with “Grid” as it is explained in the documentation help files) and the configuration (I have tried with the 2, 4 et 6 columns options in the drop list).

Thanks for your answer

Hi,

Featured Content shortcode is different with Smart Content Box, pls use Featured content shortcode.

If shortcode does not display any post, you should check your query condition (cat, tag, order…)

You could add custom CSS to Theme options to reduce that field’s height:
textarea.wpcf7-textarea{
    max-height: 100px;
}

Best regards,

Hello,

It is still not working.

My web site is now nearly ready and the only thing that I still have to fix before the online publishing is fixing this bug.

I am having an issue with the “Grid” feature on the “Smart Content Box”.

Can you explain me how to get exactly the same block called “Featured” on this home page : http://demo.cactusthemes.com/#truemag

Is it is 2 columns block : the first column displays a big picture, and the second colunm displays 4 little pictures.

I need to know : the type of smart content used in the visual composer (I have tried with “Smart Content Box”), the displayed mode (I have tried with “Grid” as it is explained in the documentation help files) and the configuration (I have tried with the 4 columns options in the drop list).

As soon as I use other value that “Grid” (such as “Smal Carousel” or “Medium Carousel” or “Medium Carousel with navigation” or “Single”) in the Layout drop list : the content is displayed.

As soon as I use “Grid” in the Layout drop list : there is no content displayed.

In a nutshell, my client really want exactly the same look called “Featured” on your home page, and I still don’t understand how to fix the bug.

Thanks for your answer.

How do I change the background behind a single video player (it’s dark grey at the moment, I want to use a background image), and same thing for the (even darker) area below at video series (the space where the episode links appear)?

And how do I change the background/text color of the search in the naviation?

Hi In order to get that, please add these css code to Theme Options > Custom css (change to your image url)
.single-post #player {background-repeat: no-repeat;   background-size: cover;background-image: url('your image url');
}
.video-series-wrap.dark-div{background-repeat: no-repeat;   background-size: cover;background-image: url('your image url');
}
About the text input and background of search section:
.dark-div .widget-asf input.ss{color: #FFFFFF;background: #222222;}

Hi

Unfortunatley, it’s not possible

I am having the following issues, may be someone can help: My uploads don’t show on the frontpage/homepage slider. How can I get them to show as and when I upload them? How can I assign featured/user uploads characteristics to my posts? I know I am not setting things up right, but I can’t figure out what I am doing right.

Pre-Sales Questions:

Do you have any plans on supporting SoundCloud & DailyMotion Embed? Possibly have a dedicated SoundCloud/Music Category or Filter to distinguish the two content types? Also, Can anyone add a video via youtube, etc. from url, or does it need to be submitted and approved prior to being posted on the site?

Looks like a great Theme, Thanks

Hi

True Mag does support SoundCloud and DailyMotion, please check http://demo.cactusthemes.com/truemag/a-sample-daily-motion-video/ and http://demo.cactusthemes.com/truemag/a-sample-soundcloud-post/

Videos can be added from URL. You can set default status for submitted posts to be Publish or Draft (which needs to be approved)

Hi, could you give me a custom css to make the cactus channel listing page full width with out side bars. i selected a page for channel listings and set the template to full width but it still shows only 3 channels per row with a lot of space on the right. i also would like to edit the name “channel” which shows at the top of the channel listing page. Thanks

This might be a bug, we will check and fix it ASAP.

To change that title, you could use translate file.

Thanks

Bug and recommendation for the new update bro , When you are trying to add videos URL as group ” to use the group option ” ( Multi Links ) and to add .mp4 urls its showing as the below screen shots ,

http://prntscr.com/802fam http://prntscr.com/802ep5
  • it working fine with Youtube URLS ,

Hi GateADS,

In your first image, you have created 6 groups and 1 video here. You can add your video .mp4 to one group. That is not a bug.

In your second image, this error is because JW Player 6 Plugin for Wordpress plugin. is missing. Please install it and check your problem again.

Best regards,

CactusThemes

I sorry , But it installed already , Check : http://prntscr.com/809dud

Also you can check the below it from live post using JW player becuse this player is default player in our system :

Is your support for TrueMAG will end after the birth of the new template NEWSTUBE Where we noticed many new features it was possible to be in TrueMAG

Hi

TrueMag is still supported. They serve two different purposes: one for videos and and for magazine sites

Best regards,

Cactusthemes

ok thanks

Pre Sales Question: Is it possible to offer a HD/SD quality toggle on Self Hosted videos?

(I know this is possible through JWPlayer, however is this functionality integrated into the theme instead of manually typing in JWPlayer shortcodes)

Thanks

Hi,

Unfortunately, it’s not possible, You need to customize code to use it.

Best regards,

CactusThemes

hello love the theme ! quick question I cant submit a ticket because it says Could not retrieve data from Envato. Please try again later! everytime i try in submit it

Made a new front page to look like demo with the metro carousal and when I click on a video on the new front page it opens up the video on a 404 error page instead of the page with the video and the like system etc.

http://dopechristian.com/wade-o-radio/ this is an example http://tinypic.com/r/29c2qfk/8 screenshot

Hi

Our ticket system needs to contact Envato server to verify purchase. Probably the Envato API was down at that time. At this moment, it seems working fine.

(You are turning Maintenance Mode so we can not check) Make sure you have re-save the Settings > Permalinks

Best regards,

I love your theme. I have had it for a couple of months. I never bothered to check on pingdom or gmetrix because I have such a fast dedicated server it never occurred to me. Recently my rankings started to drop a little so I went about trying to identify the culprit since my SEO is impeccable. I did a pingdom test and my site is taking up to 7 to 9 seconds to fully load from a near by server. http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/#!/n0bid/teenboysmilk.com

I then enabled cloudflare and still the same result. So many requests and render blocking scripts. I tested on smaller pages with only a few images and still very slow. It seems fast to the naked eye just by looking at it load but the tests show it taking much longer than it should.

I am convinced this is somehow theme related or theme update related.

I have enabled: gzip w3tc with pre load image lazy load across the board merge and minification

I cannot async your java or CSS because it will break many things. but even I i DID async it the load time would be very bad. I have tried EVERYTHING. As I said I am on an extremely fast and expensive dedicated server.

I only have a few plugins running that should not be causing this.

Please HELP me because I am as we speak losing first position on many valuable keywords in serps.

Can you give me some advice as to what I should say to the people over at users ultra pro? About the font awesome and jquery ui? Is there anything I can do right now without even involving them? How can I disable the font awesome? I am kinds noobish at this stuff.

You need to disable those plugin to prevent those issues, but if you want to use them, you should contact plugins’ author about the problems.

You could disable some recommended plugins that you’re not using (ex: truemag member, visual composer…) In the next update, we will fix several problems to improve theme’s performance.

Thanks
