Best regards,

True Mag doesn’t have a Facebook “share” button next to the like button! A share button should be the simplest most standard button there is. If you provide a Facebook like button, a share button should also be provided! I don’t want my users to have to look for the share button. When I contacted support they said it was not possible. When I said I wanted to do it manually with the Facebook SDK code they said “all the CSS styles we made will be lost.” Now I’m scared of adding my code for fer of ruining my website. How is it that such a simple addition is so hard to integrate into the code? And why does it break the CSS styles? http://i.hizliresim.com/a0ER54.jpg

Hi, you could go to edit truemag/functions.php - Find:
function gp_social_share($post_ID){
- In that function, replace:
<iframe src="//www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=<?php echo urlencode(get_permalink($post_ID)) ?>&width=450&height=21&colorscheme=light&layout=button_count&action=like&show_faces=false&send=false&appId=498927376861973" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:85px; height:21px;" allowTransparency="true"></iframe>
- with this new code:
<iframe src="//www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=<?php echo urlencode(get_permalink($post_ID)) ?>&width=450&height=21&colorscheme=light&layout=button_count&action=like&share=1&show_faces=false&send=false&appId=498927376861973" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:145px; height:21px;" allowTransparency="true"></iframe>
- Save

Make sure you back up this code when you update new version

I’m excited for the update your released today but the changelog was not updated so i don’t know what was updated or where to look? This happens every time you guys post a update, maybe it is caching? Maybe in the future in the download you can include the changelog? I just need to know what is new so i can plan to update…

Can you please update the changelog?

Sorry for that, the full release logs is updated here first: http://demo.cactusthemes.com/truemag/release_log.html

We have also updated the logs on ThemeForest.

Thanks and best regads

How can I get models for the Revolution Slider? we do not have licenses

Hi

What do you mean by “models”?

The documentation on how to set up the sliders is incredibly poor! ive managed to fumble my way through to get the metro slider working, but it took me quite some time to figure out i needed to set up posts, to get any content in the slider, even after doing that tho, when i click on a video it just redirects to a page not found 404…. please oh please show me some documentation on how to fix this and get even one video working…. i’m pretty angry right now, i bought this theme 5 hours ago with the intention of having it up and running so i could show case my work to a client in the morning and so far i haven’t made any head way.

ive also submitted 2 tickets that haven’t gone through to support as that option doesnt seem to really work,

if you have some documents that will show me exactly how to set up a page like the metro slider demo page and place my own videos then please show me, if i have missed the documentation then i apologise, but from what i’ve seen even at the end of your tutorial video the video doesn’t work.

im extremely disapointed

hi thank you for your reply, could you advise me what the permalink setup should be? currently i have it set to default but i have numerous options, and yet its still not working, still goes to 404 error.

Default    http://www.bravepixel.net/?p=123
Day and name    http://www.bravepixel.net/2015/10/21/sample-post/
Month and name    http://www.bravepixel.net/2015/10/sample-post/
Numeric    http://www.bravepixel.net/archives/123
Post name    http://www.bravepixel.net/sample-post/
Custom Structure    http://www.bravepixel.net

my site is as you can see bravepixel.net,

so far i simply uploaded your sample data, but that doesn’t look like it works anyway.

okay i figured it out, the permalink should be like this… http://www.bravepixel.net/2015/10/21/sample-post/

or at least it seems to work, but again there’s no documents that state this.

jk

Hi

The permalinks is default feature of WordPress. Sample data does not affect your permalink structure. Probably you have just installed WordPress so the permalinks is not setup yet

i want to change baw post views count counter period as once in a day for per ip how to do that

Hi Gozlug,

Unfortunately, on this theme, we do not support changing BAW Post Views to count the number of visits per day per IP.

You should contact BAW Post Views plugin’s author for more details about your requirement

Sorry for this inconvenience

Thanks for your understanding

Hi the video view count is no longer updating on my website. I suspected caching but Not sure how that is possible considering views have not updated in weeks now. Clearing cache also does not cause the views to update either.

This is an issue. I have a very popular website with user submitted content and this not functioning properly is very annoying.

Please tell me how to fix this right away and also May I please request in a future update an option to load the view counts using AJAX?

nevermind I saw the comment above for quick fix.

:) Do not hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions

Best regards

The header of my theme and page is messed up when looking at via Google Chrome. In fact, the following message is shown in the header. See below. Also, is there a way to make the site more secure. There’s another message that says the connection is not secure because there are some unencrypted elements. Please advise.

Favor please….

For the next release can you PLEASE compress the images? The no-background image is REALLY big and it is just black. It looks to me all the images in the theme need to be lossy compressed or lossless… Would be nice for the theme files to come pre-compressed as otherwise it is a manual tasks and gets lost with every update…

Thanks!!!

Hi

The no-background image is used for demo purpose only. You should upload your own image to replace it.

Hi , this theme is great, but I have some questions:

1- as I can add tabs to different video options. ex : youtube, vimeo , hosted , etc. 2. How can I change the order of the tabs on the channel page . ex : I want first of all this the “About” tab , not “videos” 3- as I can add more tabs on the channel page , which files need to be modified? 4- I have several series of different channels, and when someone is watching an episode , it is difficult for the user to go to the channel of the series, and there is no method “button” to take you to the channel , so I wanted to know how I can add a button next to the player who makes this action , this is more a request , not only mine, but several of my web users .

best regards

Hi Yahiko,

1. TrueMag theme does not support for tab.

However, you could try with a feature of Visual Composer plugin ( in theme package) named Post Grid. This feature only supports for Post, please kindly contact Visual Composer’s author for more details.

2 + 3 + 4: We are sorry that they are customization works, these are out of support services and theme’s design.

You should find a freelancer to help you with wp-content/themes/truemag/cactus-channel folder.

Thanks for your understanding

Hi,

I purchased truemag and after updating it my views counting stopped suddenly, Please make sure you look into this case asap because I am getting nice views every day and I don’t want to miss the counting. When I saw the plugin page and I found that all are suffering the same issue a lot of new negative reviews about not getting the views count and author bad behavior.

Cheers to the best team out there, Yogie

Hi Gozlug,

Thanks for your comment.

1> This is default mode of YouTube, Vimeo and JWplayer video. They cannot be automatically played on mobile devices. You can refer to this blog for more details http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15090782/youtube-autoplay-not-working-on-mobile-devices-with-embedded-html5-player

How do you make a video thumbnail for self-hosted videos? My site will be pure self-hosted videos, and as I am able to set the post featured image with a thumbnail that shows in the widgets for the video posts, there is no over-laying image for the video player.

I am unable to find any setting that will let me set the thumbnail for the video for self -hosted videos, where cn I find it?

Thanks

So please use the most stable one (JWPlayer 6) which can be get from our technical support http://ticket.cactusthemes.com

Best regards

CactusThemes

OK, check it out I wasn’t thinking correctly. The whole time I’ve been trying to hack the JWPlayer 7 into the theme … but the True Mag theme by itself is absolutely wonderful and I’ve figured out how to do it. In fact this can be done with the short code of ANY player that one might choose to use for the theme.

Simply place all the shortcode for whatever player (JWPlayer, MaximaPlayer etc) into the VIDEO CODE EMBED field of the post and waa-laa, done.

Thanks for the great and theme and here is your “hack” the next time someone asks ;)

I saw that you guys tested BOW View Counts 3.0.2 and it worked find but that is NOT the case for me and for many others. Please view the comments on https://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-reviews/baw-post-views-count?filter=1 You will see others using TrueMag, me including that it stopped working. The developer is just rude, to say the least… I think you guys should rethink using his plugin as his attitude is ‘this is free so suck it up”... Well, I’m sort of forced to use it but if you guys supported something where the developer was not an A$$ then it would be must better for all of us. Right now I have problems and can’t fix them… :( So do many others …. :( and no word from the developer of that plugin :(

PLEASE think about a different view count plugin or doing it yourself. Partnering with the BOW guys is a bad idea, sadly.. :(

Hi

If it is because of caching, there is no difference between current and previous version of view count. It depends on how you set up caching that the view count will be refreshed after a perios of time. Please check your caching plugin.

Best regards

CactusThemes

Yes, but I have not changed anything. Only caching I have enabled it page caching and to get it to work i have to completely turn off page caching and hence turn off caching. Again, it worked fine before the update with the caching settings I have configured now. Nothing different. The BOW plugin does refresh the count with the cache settings i have. Again, the only thing that does not is the count in the theme itself. Make sense?

Hi,

Video’s view count on player toolbar still loads from post meta, and will be refreshed when cache is updated. You could set your cache timeout smaller to make view count update faster. Even Youtube, Vimeo caches their count too.

Thanks for understanding

CactusThemes

Hi i wanna buy this theme, but i wanna know if there is a way that visitors can embed the videos to there own website

Hi

Thanks for your interest.

Currently True Mag does not have such feature

Best regards

CactusThemes

Hi, Is there a way to add non video posts to a channel? And maybe a way to ad woocommerce products to a channel?

Hi

Unfortunately, it’s not possible
