Hi,

I just made the first update of this theme and all of my theme options were lost. How should I make the update without losing any of my changes?

Regards, Alin

Hi

As far as I know, updating theme will not affect theme options. You can just

1. Deactivate theme, remove it and upload new version

or

2. Use FTP to override theme folder

Best regards

1. I forgot to mention I updated the theme by pressing the white button saying: “New version found! Update Theme?”, So I shouldn’t do it in this way again to avoid losing my theme’s options changes?

2. Please tell me how to reverse the order of videos on a playlist? I want the last video added in the playlist to show up first, like the videos are shown in a category page.

I appreciate your fast support here. Nice theme, keep up the good work!

Hi,

1. It’s Auto Update feature. It shouldn’t be the reason as well. However, from 4.0.6, you should use Envato WordPress Toolkit instead: http://doc.cactusthemes.com/truemag/#install_autoupdate

2. You need to customise some code, please follow these steps:

- Open file “truemag/cactus-video/single-playlist.php” > Go to about line 52 and change ‘order’ => ‘ASC’ to ‘order’ => ‘DESC’

- Open file “truemag/cactus-video/content-video-inplaylist.php” > Go to about line 172 and change ‘order’ => ‘ASC’ to ‘order’ => ‘DESC’

For more custom code, please contact our support system at http://ticket.cactusthemes.com

Update: remove auto update feature, use of Envato WordPress Toolkit plugin instead ?????????????????

Hi

As Envato has its official WordPress Toolkit to check and update theme automatically, there is no need to have this feature in theme. Please downoad and install as a plugin: https://github.com/envato/envato-wordpress-toolkit

Please check this: http://doc.cactusthemes.com/newstube/#install_auto_update (the zip file is missing in the package so you can download it again from github)

I upgraded wordpress. I no longer can access my dashboard and I’m getting a bunch of redirect errors. Please help me fix this and no I don’t wish to put in a service ticket. I’m sure others will get this error at some point and want this resolved as soon as possible. You can verify that I’ve purchased your theme.

Hi

Please provide an FTP account to http://ticket.cactusthemes.com so we can help. Probably the problem comes from Theme My Login plugin, you can try to remove the directory

ok, ticket put it, the ticket number is #102502

Hi Cactus Themes,

I have a Beetube theme. Can all the content in the site be upgraded to TrueMag theme without loosing the data. Can you please let me know.

Thanks.

Hi

Thanks for your interest. We do not support exporting data from beetube to truemag. I’m afraid you have to reconfigure all site or hide a freelancer to move data for you

Best regards

CactusThemes

Thanks for the clarification.

You are welcome!

Hi Cactus themes,

Here (http://themeforest.net/item/true-mag-wordpress-theme-for-video-and-magazine/6755267/comments?page=122&filter=all#comment_10830273) you say that there wasn’t any theme update release on august 17….. but envato says there was a update release, as stated in your theme-page:

Created 5 February 14 - Last Update 17 August 15

But, as TimoteiStudios said, your changelog is not updated yet and running behind. Can u please update it?

Hi

Latest version was 4.0.5. The information has been updated in the change logs here: http://demo.cactusthemes.com/truemag/release_log.html

(maybe it’s 4.0.4 which was released on 17th August)

For the “Amazing Slider”, which brings a back ground image from the video, behind the thumbnail (why that would be good I have no idea, looks less than great) .. how to assign a default background, to use for all ….???

Hi Okiewan,

Please add this CSS Code segment to Theme Options > Custom CSS

#slider .caroufredsel_wrapper {
    background-image: url('http://url-to-your-image.jpg');
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-size: cover;
}

Thank you and best regards,

CactusThemes

close … but with the slider full width, the background image does not cover completely …(not wide enough, so on each side, you can still see the featured image background), and yes, the selected background image is more than wide enough.

Hi Okiewan,

If you want the image background completely covered when it is full width, please change with the CSS Code segment to Theme Options > Custom CSS below
#slider .amazing .overlay{ background-image: url('http://static.new.tuoitre.vn/tto/i/s626/2014/10/29/Yv3PdQM0.jpg');
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-size: cover;}

For more custom CSS questions, please submit ticket to http://ticket.cactusthemes.com

What plugin am I supposed to use instead of jw plugin? That plugin is not installing and activating. It seems to be missing

Hi

Without JW Plugin, True Mag still works normally. If you would like to have a custom player, try FlowPlayer, HTML5JS Player, Wistia player , Contus player, Kaltura player

If you would like to use JWPlayer, contact us at http://ticket.cactusthemes.com to get a backup version of this plugin

Hi the Social locker feature doesn’t appear to work, I notice there are no settings for it and it isn’t included in the themes plugins, am I missing something here?

Also my post titles are being stripped out upon save, is the theme supposed to used the videos title pulled via the youtube api? , also the video description isn’t being pulled via the API

this theme is rubbish and more or less unuseable , edit a post at your own peril it will remove the data, the header slider doesn’t let you select posts despite the Id’s being in there and worst of all after 30 hours your support team havent answered, i’ll be expecting better or ill be requesting a refund from Envato

Hi

What is your ticket ID? All of tickets are replied within 24hours in weekdays.

When editting a post, if you do not check “Do not fetch” checkbox, data will be fetched again from YouTube.

Header Slider should work without problems. Probably you haven’t configured correctly

1. I am trying to change the header and headline background colors. I found the css listed here.
For the header, #top-nav .navbar-inverse{background-color:#CCC}
For the headline, #headline{background-color:#CCC;}
I’ve tried both many times and absolutely nothing happens even when I change the color codes to other colors. Are these the correct css?
Please advise.
2. I am trying to change the color of the search box. Same issue as above.
3. I am trying to change the color of the submit video button (in regular and hover). Same as above.

Also, I would highly recommend adding these options to the next upgrade and make them available in theme options without css. It will save the users a lot of effort and your support team won’t have to answer literally hundreds of requests for this. These are simple modifications you really need to make adjustable from within the theme options. Please consider this suggestion.

Hi there,

I’m looking for a full width responsive carousel/slider that automatically (no action necessarily past initial setup) pulls content from categories / tags / featured posts / etc. I’m looking for something JUST like what you have in this theme. I don’t suppose you sell (or know of) a product that does this?

Thanks in advance!

Hi

Posts Carousel/Slider shortcodes are available in the theme.

Cheers!

Best regards

CactusThemes

Hi there,

I’m actually looking for a standalone carousel. One that is not tied to a particular theme?

Hi

There is a lot of plugins like that. Actually, Visual Composer plugin does have a carousel shortcode. We have EZCaroulse plugin which you can check: http://codecanyon.net/item/ez-carousel-modern-wordpress-carousel-slider/5417736
