I installed the yoast plugin to write post snippets, it worked very well but only one did not, it is the homepage that appears in google, for google despite that I wrote the snippet, they do not appear also I get an error on google webmaster tools.

Hi, Is it possible to add links to different time positions of the video at the post content? I mean, just like YouTube does when you add at description, for instance, “01:35”, it makes a link automatically to minute 1 second 35 of the video. I have long videos with different sections that I wish to link from the content or any other way.

Thank you in advance

Hi Marianogi,

Thanks for contacting us!

Unfortunately, True Mag doesn’t support this function now. However, you can divide your video to different sections by using Start Time and End Time options as an alternative.

Open your long video post and scroll down to find: YouTube Video starts at/YouTube Video ends at option then input your time. Do similarly with a copy of your video post to have other video parts.

In addition, we will consider if we can add this function to TrueMag.

Best regards,

CactusThemes

Thank you very much. I know what you mean and could be an alternative, but I really hope you implement this feature in the future, beause I have seen JWPlayer can do it. I post it here for other people with same issue: https://developer.jwplayer.com/jw-player/demos/basic/linking-to-time-offset/

Hi,

Thanks for getting back!

I have sent your question to the develop department and they will consider to add this function if possible. However, it may or may not be supported in next updates.

Besides, you could extend your support time to get the more convenient support at our ticket system http://ticket.cactusthemes.com

Hello,

First, thank you for this great theme. I love it. The concept of my website is to show teasers of videos and only members can access to the full video. When you access to the teaser, there is a button to access to the full video. That means that for one video there is 2 files : the teaser and the full video.

I try to know what is the best way to do that with this theme. I tried with the “series” function but it is not what I really want.

Maybe add a button “full video” (with a link to the full video page) on the player on the teaser page. But how to do this?

Thank you for your help :)

Hi Leedstime,

Thanks for contacting us.

You could try to use Button shortcode to add on your single video content page. But, unfortunately, our theme does not have any option to help you to have a permission between members and visitors.

The best way is to find a freelancer to help you with this requirement.

We are sorry for this inconvenience

Thanks for your understanding

Playlist issue – could there be a bug in the styling code? When there are more than 3 videos in the playlist, the scroll-down arrow is hidden behind the 4th video in the background and hence cannot be used/is practically invisible. When looking at the example on your site – http://truemag.cactusthemes.com/members/vantrimaster/playlist/

the scroll down arrow is on top of the last video in the box and can be used for scrolling. Also, when hovering with mouse over any of the videos in the playlist, in your example, this hovering highlights the yellow box around the video in the playlist – nothing happens in my case. Could this be some plugin incompatibility issue or something coming from your side? Thank you.

Hi Dk23,

Thanks for contacting us.

1> We are sorry that this is our bug. We will fix and update this issue to the latest version of TrueMag.

Which JW Player plugin to use for self-hosted videos on this theme?

Official 1. https://wordpress.org/plugins/jw-player/ or Unofficial 2. https://wordpress.org/plugins/jw-player-7-for-wp/

Because 2nd option (as per truemag installation documentation) says “Upgrade for a responsive player” in its plugin settings?

Hi,

Thanks for contacting us.

1> For: https://wordpress.org/plugins/jw-player/ We don’t have information about this plugin. And it is not supported by Truemag theme. 2> For: https://wordpress.org/plugins/jw-player-7-for-wp/ True Mag theme supports JWPlayer 7 for self-host video. You can use free or paid license plugin for your website. Please check this doc guideline: http://truemag.cactusthemes.com/document/#other_settings_jwplayer_7

The post view count plugin doesnt seem to work anymore so post views arent working anymore in your theme

thanks that worked. i already hided it with css, but for some reason your slightly different css code did the trick fully.

Hm, probably there is a update in the plugin…

Hi! I installed the theme and I have no idea how to do the slide work in the home page. Is there any relation with the slider revolution plugin? After installed, I deleted all the pages and posts that came with the theme and I left the only that I was using.

Hi! I just figured out how to insert videos in the carrosel on the home page. It seems that the categories have some relation with the videos in the carrosel home page…or not?

Could you explain how it works?

Thanks

Hi Ronaldonyc,

Thanks for contacting us

1> Absolutely, you can add Revolution Slider on your page by following these steps: - Open your page > Scroll down you will see Front Page Settings > Header Style : Sidebar. - Go to Appearance > Widgets > Drag & Drop Revolution Slider to Home Sidebar position.

2> In order to insert videos in the carousel on homepage, you can go to your page > on Front Page Settings, you will see Header – Items IDs > enter your post IDs here or enter your categories IDs on Header – Categories (ID or slug.)

Best regards,

CactusThemes

All right. Thanks a lot!

When I create playlist as per documentation, each post/video from the playlist appears with a playlist sidebar when opened from the playlist menu/playlist page. However, when the post is opened from home page, it does not display the playlist sidebar. Is this how it should work and I need to create “playlist” menus? I was hoping that each post/video when opened from the homepage would open with a playlist sidebar once assigned to a playlist. Please confirm or let me know if things should work differently and I am missing something. Thank you.

Hi Dk23,

Unfortunately, TrueMag theme does not support this feature. The post layout with Playlist player only appears when a post from Playlist listing is opened.

TrueMag theme has Playlist listing to show all playlists on your site. If needed, you could add that page as frontpage by:

- Going to Dashboard > Cactus playlist settings > Playlist listing page: Choose your page.

- Adding that page as front page on Dashboard > Settings > Reading > Front page displays > A static page: choose your page.

You could go to single post by clicking two times with this way (post with playlist player)

Hi i want to change only authors link which is under post to go bp-profile page instead of author’s page is it possible http://www.gozlug.com/arsivler/3225 secondly i created bp-custom.php and found some codes to add notification on menu and it works and seem on main menu and footer menu, but i just want it seem only main menu how to do that ?codes are below

<?php function my_counter_nav_menu($menu) {

$notif_url = bp_core_get_user_domain(bp_loggedin_user_id()) .’notifications/’; $friends_url = bp_core_get_user_domain(bp_loggedin_user_id()) .’friends/’; $msg_url = bp_core_get_user_domain(bp_loggedin_user_id()) .’messages/’;

if (!is_user_logged_in())
    return $menu;
else
    $notif = '
  • Bildirimler [’. bp_notifications_get_unread_notification_count( bp_loggedin_user_id() ) .’]
  • ’; } add_filter( ‘wp_nav_menu_items’, ‘my_counter_nav_menu’ );

    $menu = $menu . $notif;
    return $menu;

    ?>

    Hi Gozlug, Did you metion about Buddypress plugin?

    1. You could try with a certain plugin like https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-blog-author-link/

    2. We are not sure about your code, but you could read this article to know how to control those functions to apply to only one menu location http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/2143/customizing-only-a-specific-menu-using-the-wp-nav-menu-items-hook We are very sorry but this is a customization order (which is out of support service) so we can not help you too much.

    Please kindly find an experienced WP user or a free lancer for more help.
