Dear sir,

I want to buy this theme. But the problem is that it is not possible to remove annotations in JW player. Is it possible with your theme? i want to juse JW player.

Hi,

Thank for your comment.

We don’t see the annotations of JW Player on our theme. If it had, we think we can use Custom CSS segment to hide this.

Best Regards. CactusThemes

Ok. But i mean the annotations from youtube. Problem with JW6 player is, you cannot hide it. when emmbedded video. it will show in youtube html5 player, not in JW

Hi Rezan91,

Thanks for your feedback.

Oh, yes. On TrueMag theme, we cannot delete the annotations from YouTube.

We are sorry for this inconvenience.

Thanks for your understanding

Thanks for your comment.

You can add this Custom CSS segment in Theme Options > General > Custom CSS:
.single-post #content h1.light-title.entry-title{

}
You can change to your suitable margin-left element.

}

Hello, I have a bug when I try to embed video facebook using the facebook embed code, when I put the code into the Video Code area in the Posts Settings zone, I have un bug in the display of the page, the video image thumbnail is cropped when the homepage is loaded. Does this theme supported facebook video on homepage, like Vimeo or Youtube ? Best regards

Hi Bramael,

Unfortunately, our theme has not yet supported FaceBook video.

So, for the video URL in form of FaceBook, you need to upload the featured image for it manually to work correctly.

Thanks for your understanding

Hello Cactusthemes. Thank you very much for the piece of code. Maybe I was not clear in my explanation, but actually I managed to hide the number of likes with the options of the theme itself. What I couldn’t remove is the frame and the thumb up and down for voting … (here you are a picture … http://torti.bg/frame.png – I want that frame under the video to be removed with all the content inside the frame …). Thank you very much. :) Regards, 4kids

Hi 4kidsood,

Hi, I’m interested in this Truemag and also made my decision to buy it. But I’ve noticed that in the last version, KasperSky Antivirus would not let the explorer open the website: http://truemag.cactusthemes.com/home-page-5-fullwidth-slider-fullwidth-content/ here is the screenshot of the error: http://postimg.org/image/6c59dwnxd/

Thanks

Hi

We also have Kaspersky here and do not see that notification. I don’t think the problem is related to our demo page.

Should add “auto update” views because on the website say less of youtube.

Hi

That feature would require an auto-synchroization between your server and YouTube, which is not recommended. It can only fetch YouTube views for the first time when you create the post.

Best regards

CactusThemes

Maybe you can add an option to do it dayly or weekly?

Well, that’s a good idea. Indeed, we will think about it.

Thanks and best regards,

Hi, I apologize if someone already ask this but how can I remove youtube controls from bottom of the video . Thank you

Hi Sasha123,

You can only get that by using the embed code. Please see this video and try. You can see the options to hide the control bar.

Hello, I work on your template for a client of me and I can’t figured out (I’ve looked at the doc) how to setup the “Top categories” 2 column widget on the home page?

Hi Takemikasushi,

You can find that widget by going to Appearance > Widgets > select TM-Top Categories and add to Main Sidebar. Then, you can configure it by yourself.

Best regards,

CactusThemes

Hey, thanks for the answer. I can PM you my client account if you want to double check he actually bought the theme ;). So, I don’t have this widget activated yet as I’m not using all the recommended plugin. So I guess the widget come from one of the recommended plugins right?

Hi Takemikasushi,

Almost widgets come with theme and some special widgets like Social widget, you have to install the 3rd party plugin to use. You can check again.

In addition, you can PM to your client by creating a ticket to our support system at http://ticket.cactusthemes.com/ so we can help better

There’s a situation with the pixelation/degraded images on Truemag that needs to be fixed, corrected, addressed or whatever you guys need to do. As I’ve made search in the comments, it returned 2 years of customers asking how to get quality pictures on their sites but I’m very disappointed in seeing that you guys keep answering the question the same way and even go as far as dismissing it to have us replace the pictures.
Now, I can understand that not all the pictures fetched are high quality (those I’ll go ahead and replace myself) but the ones that are fetched high quality but somehow got degraded? Come on, that’s a hell to the no. I mean, people using the theme most likely are fetching hundreds of videos and you guys comfortably recommending us to replace ALL the pictures? that’s COLD! It is cold because Truemag does degrade the pictures indeed!
Using the recommended Youtube Video Post plugin, I get high quality to decent thumbs after fetches. i can see the quality of the original images in my media folder. For every 100 images, about 85 of them are in between 500 to 1200 pixels. That’s more than enough to get at least decent quality. However, in the carousels, they are horrible, pixelated.

SEE my example of pointing to you how the thumbs gets degraded in Truemag.

http://i65.tinypic.com/2rejsjo.jpg
Notice how the original fetched image is of a decent size. Also, I manually reduced the size of the image and it stayed intact in decreased size. However, it loses a bit of quality in the post area and gets horribly bad in the carousel.


Something must be done. Something can be done. Again, we don’t expect that videos thumbs of 2000, 1999, 753 B.C. or whatever old days to be high quality (Yes, WE should take care of that) but YouTube started to have high quality thumbs for its videos going back as far as 2012. 90% of all 2014, 2015, 2016 thumbs are at a decent quality. in Truemag all thumbs are @$#$%. That’s unacceptable for a theme I’ve counted so much and already invested so many days on, man!


I maybe wrong but I got the feeling from your replies to the many customers looking for a fix to this issue are being dismissed with quick casual answers with that “best regards” to send people on their way and never look into the situation. Again, I maybe wrong but it looks as it is, reading all the answers to the same request without a fix in over two years.

I’d hate being a customer who has to spend hours and hours getting a site up to standard and counting on your theme and support to get this achieved but not getting it. I hope that’s not the case. What attracts me to this theme is a combination of features and quality. And for now, the quality is missing!

  • Theme and plugs updated to latest 4.2.5

Hi DaDarkMan,

Thanks for your comment.

You can try to follow some steps to fix this issue:

- Go to the file named trumag/inc/classes/class.content-html.php at the line 551:
<div class="col-md-6 col-sm-6">'.$this->get_item_medium_video($thumb='thumb_520x293', $show_title, $show_exceprt, $show_rate,$show_dur,$show_view,$show_com,$show_like, $show_aut,$show_date,$themes_pur,$number_excerpt,$quick_view).' </div>';
Then, change $thumb value to your image size.

- Before, your size need to be registered on the function file

After that, you can go to edit truemag/functions.php and find: add_image_size(‘thumb_520×293’,520,293, true);

- Edit it to: add_image_size(‘thumb_520×293’,640,380, true);

Note: 640, 380 -> your image size

- Save and run Regenerate thumbnail plugin to generate image again

Hopefully, this will help you fix your image quality.

Best regards,

CactusThemes

Dear Cactusthemes,

After a few tries of your solution above which also involve me deleting all posts and thumbs and cache in the hope of getting better quality thumbnails didn’t work at all. Everything stayed the same!

One more time, I’m gonna give you guys proof that thumbs in TrueMag could be and should be improved with an update, not by me or any customer fiddling with the code on our own. I’ve gone out and search for carousel plugins. I bought a relatively new plugin in codecanyon.net called Pro Slider & Carousel Layout for Visual Composer. As soon as I’ve set it up and compare it with your own carousel, it is very much noticeable that the plugin has way better thumbs quality than the native TrueMag carousel. You can see it for yourself on the site Visit The Page Here; Pro Slider & Carousel Layout for Visual Composer plugin is the one set on top and your native carousel below it. They are both using the same set of images from the Media Library. So, please tell me that it is not obvious that the plugin output the thumbs wayyy clearer than your native TrueMag? There’s no arguing it at this stage!

So, my point here is not to be an asshole to you guys but rather to point to you the obvious: A fix is needed in TrueMag when it comes to its handling in displaying thumbnails. It is a fix that most of your customers would appreciate. So, it has to come in the form of an update. I have some other issues with TrueMag that also need a discussion but I’ll wait for the thumb situation to get handle as it is priority number one!

Thanks.

Hi,

Please allow me to explain a little bit more.

All Truemag thumbnail sizes are created for displaying at a normal desktop resolution.

But there are 2 cases, a page has Sidebar and No-sidebar. We’ve made an option “Columns” for Smart Content box shortcode, to handle this issue.

We will need to choose “6 columns” for no-sidebar page, that’s proper way. If you want to use 4 columns layout in no-sidebar page, you need to edit theme’s code.

Another issue, in retina display, some thumbnail possitions look not sharp. We could create tons of 2x thumbnail size, but Envato does not allow too many thumbnail sizes at the same time. So we’ve decided to pick nearest-and-bigger size available for retina screen. It’s might not perfect, but lots customers like it.

We’re always asked for reducing thumbnail sizes to save bandwidth, space, for speed up site, high googlge page speed grade… Hope you understand.

There’re a plugin for quality-prefer users like you. You could try it https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-retina-2x/

Or you could send us more detail about your low quality thumbnail possitions & admin login info, we will help you to improve it.

Thanks for your understanding.

Feature Request: Login image when you click on the image could you make it redirect to the main website instead of wordpress.org. its a nice feature to have.

Hi Hamradiodude,

There are some plugins which can help you customize the login page easily.

You can refer to this link https://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=login and then try one of them

Best regards,

CactusThemes

I guess what you are saying by pointing me to other options is you don’t want to do my suggestion, no problem. I installed a plugin that does what I asked you to put in the theme it puts a login image and also links to the front page of the site. Sorry to bother you with a suggestion (sarcasm)

Hi

Thanks for your comment. Please understand that each customer has different request so we cannot include everything into a theme. If there is a plugin that can do it, why not try :)

Best regards
