I’m unable to download the required plugins i.e. when I try to download JW Player for WordPress, it gives me the following error: An unexpected error occurred. Something may be wrong with WordPress.org or this server’s configuration. If you continue to have problems, please try the support forums. What do I do?

Hi

JWPlayer 5 is not available on WordPress.org. There is a backup version in the download package which you can install via uploading

Best regards

sorry cant login support, and although i ask for pw reset i dont get any emails. anyway…. my question/request is simple. When i share a youtube, vimeo, dailymotion url on facebook, the video player is embed within the post: people clic and the video plays within facebook. I would like the same for the video pages on my website. For instance right now if I share this url on fb, http://djresqvideomix.com/keni-burke-risin-top-djresqvideomix-live-vs-studio-edit/ people cant watch the video on fb, they have to clic and are redirected to the site.

Hello? How can I contact Cactus? I need to send you this ticket please. I ask for password reminder many time and i dont receive any emails, nothing in my spam folder either. I need to fix this issue please, email me a reset link or something. Thx

how to do it like yours

Hi Gozlug,

Thanks for your comment.

Do you want to put carousel slider on your home page?

This slider is not built by using Smart Content Box. You only need to select on Theme Options > Front Page > Header Style: Big Carousel or going to your Page > Front Page Settings> Header Style: Big Carousel.

If you have another trouble, please create a ticket to our support system at http://ticket.cactusthemes.com/ and do not forget to give us your website’s URL and admin account. Our supporters will help to resolve your issue.

Hi, I noticed a bug with the video series, on the video series page, when you order by likes it breaks and shows the entire category the video is in sorted by likes instead of just the videos in the video series.

Hi Tvd86,

Thanks for notifying us. We will check and fix it as soon as possible

We are sorry for this inconvenience

Best regards,

CactusThemes.

Hi, thanks for fixing this in the latest update, however I just saw in google webmaster 400+ errors for tags too, and same problem here when you sort a tag by “like” it sorts all videos by like, not just the tag.

Sorry for not seeing this earlier

I really like this theme, however, I need to use my own videos and ads. Before I purchase this theme, I need to estimate costs. In your opinion, will an experienced WP developer be able to easily switch out a JW Player for the video player you have throughout this theme? How difficult would using JW Player throughout the site be?

I have read more comments regarding JW Player. I see that it can be integrated in order to play self-hosted video. I want to verify that it can also support self-hosted ads.

Hi

Thanks for contacting us. Please note that official JW Player plugin is no longer available on WordPress.org. You can either use JW Player 5 (an older version) which is included in the package, or use non-official JW Player 6 plugins (we support 2 plugins, please check release logs: http://truemag.cactusthemes.com/release_log.html)

JW Player does not support self-hosted ads.

your reply to a comment about a month ago regarding notification to subscribers of new videos in a channel: “Unfortunately, currently, our theme does not have function to notify the user when a new video is uploaded to subscribed channel. They only see the video when visiting the channel.”

so what exactly is the benefit of subscribing?

After subscribed, users can access a specific page to see all subscribed channels and videos in those channels. There is a page template allowing you to do so

Hello wenn i open my site on my mobile phone the theme is not working fine there is a gray header above the content with no function. could you please look at it?

Thanks

My website www.picvid.nl

Hi 204135,

Do you mean the Episodes under the video player in single video post? You can change to the selected box layout for it at Theme Options > Video Series > Series Listing Style in Single Video > choose Select Box.

Hi,

since I dont’ get any response on the support forum where I opened a ticket two day ago, I repeat here my request hoping in some sort of reaction:

trying to install True Mag 4.0 on a wp 4.4.2-it_IT but when it comes to install JW Player plugin I get this error message:

object(WP_Error)#4650 (2) { [“errors”]=> array(1) { [“plugins_api_failed”]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(248) “Si è verificato un errore inaspettato. Qualcosa deve essere andato male con WordPress.org o con la configurazione di questo server. Se continui ad avere problemi prova a consultare il forum di supporto.” } } [“error_data”]=> array(1) { [“plugins_api_failed”]=> string(2) “N;” } }Something went wrong with the plugin API.

Any suggestion?

Hi

JW Player is no longer available on market. Please install manually using the installation file in the download package

Best regards

Hi..We are planning to buy this theme for a television channel and would like to know, is this theme site can be automatically linked to the YouTube channel so that when ever a video is posted on the YouTube channel, it gets featured on the home page video slider? Thanks and Regards

Hi

Thanks for your interest. It’s not default feature of True Mag. However, there are 2 plugins support this feature and work for True Mag: http://codecanyon.net/item/youtube-wordpress-plugin-video-import/4429742 and http://codecanyon.net/item/wordpress-automatic-plugin/1904470

Hi Thank you for the response. Another doubt, is it possible to include a live video stream to this theme?

Hi

If you have Embed Code of the video stream, it will work

Hi there, realy like this theme. Could you build in a option to change to footer to 3 colums instead of the default 4.

And the Sidebar Width to choose a wide for the front page and blog page. Example i want the frontpage Sidebar Width 1/3 and on a blog single page 1/4

Hi Rdekruyf,

Thanks for your comment.

1> Absolutely, you can change the footer 3 columns by configuring on Custom Variation: col-md-4 for each widget on your footer.

2> For sidebar width, you need to edit the code to get that (choosing a wide of front page ).

You should find a freelancer developer to help you with this requirement.

Hi. I have a problem with my self-hosted video, i can’t see the views, many people view it but the counter still 0 and video doesn’t auto-play, although it is activated in the settings. Thank you for your answer

Hi You can set up FV Flowplayer to auto play video at Settings > FV Player > Sitewide Flowplayer Defaults -> Check on Autoplay box. Note: FV Flowplayer only supports self-hosted videos.

Thank you.

Hi, i don’t have FV Player in my settings

Hi Mpman,

Hi, It seems the search does not search tags. It sees them just as filters, How can I force the ASF to search tags?

Hi

Unfortunately, it’s not possible

Pre-sale question:

I am lookong for a Video membership site. I go through your theme demo store and found that when I share the video to Facebook deskstop, the post look like post at mobile phone which is a small thumbnail photo at left side and the description at the right side. I tried other themes, the post will have a huge photo on top and the description at the bottom. Can this can be fixed?

Another question about the membership plugin, can I use another membership plugin other than the one this theme is compatible with?

Thanks.

Hi Billsamtw ,

Thanks for your feedback.

Yes, you need to automatically adjust the thumbnail size for your image and it is depended on FaceBook.

We do not have code for this action.

Best regards,

CactusThemes.

Hi, I found that you have another theme named newstube, what the different between this two theme? Is that theme have a membership function as the demo site?

Hi

NewsTube is more focused in magazine, news sites while True Mag is intended for a video-listing site. It doesn’t have a built-in membership function, but you can integrate a Membership plugin to do that.

Hi, “Quick View” is working fine on my homepage (I’ve enabled it in Theme Options). However, it doesn’t work on my Category pages. How can I enable it to work in the Category pages as well?

I have discovered the cause of this. If “Theme Options > Blog > Choose Default Listing Layout” is set to ‘Big detail 1 column’, then the Quick View option stops working on the category page, even after using the layout switcher for the grid view.

Please consider fixing this in the next update. Thanks

Hi NSharpe,

That is a bug. We will check again and fix it in the next update of TrueMag theme as soon as possible.

We are sorry for this inconvenience.

Thanks for your understanding

I am running into a few errors after installing the theme.
First, I couldn’t do a bulk install, I’m getting the following:
Fatal error: Class ‘TGM_Bulk_Installer’ not found in /home/bigbrother7/public_html/wp-content/themes/truemag/inc/plugins/plugin-activation/class-tgm-plugin-activation.php on line 1586

So, I started doing them one by one but I’m getting the following error on the foloowing plugins: JW Player Install; True MAG Movie; TrueMAG Shortcodes; TrueMAG Rating; TrueMAG Member
The error reads:
object(WP_Error)#376 (2) { [“errors”]=> array(1) { [“plugins_api_failed”]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(219) “An unexpected error occurred. Something may be wrong with WordPress.org or this server’s configuration. If you continue to have problems, please try the support forums.” } } [“error_data”]=> array(1) { [“plugins_api_failed”]=> string(2) “N;” } } Something went wrong with the plugin API.

Some assistance is dearly needed from you to get the full install successful

Thanks!

Hi

You should activate plugins one by one.

In addition, TrueMag-xxx plugins and JWPlayer 6 plugin need to be installed via uploading. Please find the installation files in the download package

How do I get the widget area not to be so wide? Just need it as wide as the single widget there. I put a login widget into the menu. I marked it as Column Styles and added the my Login Sidebar to the level 1 menu item. but the dropdown with the widget that is created to nearly full width of the site when i doesn’t need to be…why is this?

here’s a snapshot: https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=CAB6A9FD2B993D14!52201&authkey=!AO-M9y0imBqKPms&v=3&ithint=photo%2cPNG

Hi lbdesignhouse,

Menu box is designed for 4 columns.

You should add more items to your menu in this case.

Best regards,

CactusThemes.

Hi, CT,

Thanks for your reply! suggestion would be to have preview and widget in one drop down menu, that way there would be enough to fill the widget.

but as I type that, I realize I could create a custom widget to show the video post and then drop that into the menu…. it’s a solid workaround

side question or big push for next update… why can we not put channels into the preview mode menu type? is it because it is a custom post type? any way you can direct me to the area where that coding that determines what is there and how it’s handled? maybe I can write something myself to tweak it and allow it to show channels along with categories and other types within preview mode of the megamenu.

thanks!

Hi lbdesignhouse,

Unfortunately, Mega menu supports for 4 columns on Menu board ( ” widget area” is in your comment). You should add 4 items as level 1 in this case.

This is a complex customization order, so we cannot help you.

Please kindly find a freelancer to help you customize our theme design.

We are sorry for this inconvenience and thanks for your understanding

Question, how do you do the Widget at right? How do you place the Popular or Top Rated videos? at the widget section ?

Hi, can I get the homepage’s carousel to be exactly like the category page carousel? Please see http://prnt.sc/a4ty6w

The homepage carousel is too big for my liking.

Hi NSharpe ,

Sorry, we have designed the header place on the front page within a big layout. So, you have to modify code to change that.

Thanks for your understanding
