I get an error message while trying to install the following recommended plugins: TrueMAG – Movie, TrueMAG – Shortcodes, TrueMAG Rating, and Truemag – Member.

The error message is: “Something went wrong with the plugin API.” Not sure how to get around this, can you help?

Hi Rendermediainc,

They are not free plugins on Wordpress repository. You need to install them manually via Plugin > Add New > Upload with the installation files packed in the Theme download package.

Please check these guides for more information http://truemag.cactusthemes.com/doc/docs/installation/install-plugins/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=138&v=X9ERnDJX0M0

Hi, I have videos in storage amazon s3, i would like to place ads on those videos , is it possible? or only youtube video

Hi Hectorivero,

Now, TrueMag theme does not support for videos in the videos in Amazon s3 storage.

We will update Video Ads plugin to support direct link from that. However, please note that Video Ads supports direct video link using the default WordPress player NOT JW Player

Please kindly follow http://truemag.cactusthemes.com/release_log.html for new updates.

Hi, I am working on a video sharing website. The website will allow users to register, upload videos and showcase their video portfolio. Each member will have their own profiles and can message each other (buddypress). Furthermore, the videos are categorized. Each users profile will show videos uploaded by him/her. Videos will be searchable by category, name etc. Each user will have his/her own web address to showcase his/her portfolio (his/her profile) and the address would be mysite.com/user

Is this theme perfect for all these features? I have gone through the features list and it seems it has them. but want to be sure before i make the purchase.

Hi Qasimsalam,

Thanks for contacting us.

Yes, True Mag theme supports those features:

- User can register, upload and showcase their videos portfolio as well as have his/her profile. User can search video by category, tag…But only user who has permission such as administrator, author, editor could upload and create their video post.

Also theme supported BuddyPress plugin to manage user profiles with the address would be: http://truemag.cactusthemes.com/author/vantrimaster This is another example of searching video which you can refer: http://truemag.cactusthemes.com/?s=korean

We are looking forward to your positive reply.

Hi, thank you for your prompt reply. I am slightly confused. You said

1. User can register, upload and showcase their videos portfolio as well as have his/her profile.

2. But only user who has permission such as administrator, author, editor could upload and create their video post.

Does this mean non admin/author/editor can not upload videos? I want users to be able to create an account and, upload and share their own videos.

Hi,

The default role for user has 5 levels: admin, author, editor, contributor and subscriber.

Only Subscriber can not create post and upload Video, but you can assign the permission for your user so they can upload Video and create post by themselves.

In addition, you can set default role for all your user when at Settings > General > New User Default Role

1) In the Categories pages, how do I hide the video duration from appearing over the thumbnail?

2) The previous recent update states ”#Update: Use Embed Code in multi-links for video posts”. Could you please provide an example of how to use embed code within multi links (the documentation only shows for regular links).

Thanks

Hi,

1. You can add this CSS code to Appearance > Theme Options > Custom CSS to hide the video duration in Categories pages.

.category .video-item .item-thumbnail .rating-bar.time_dur { display: none; }

2. Yes. From True Mage version 4.2.8, user can use Embed Code in Multi-links options for Video posts. Please check this image as an example: http://imgur.com/YHkEnzk

We will update this information to our documentation soon.

Hi, the plugin visual composer ask me for a licence. How can i solve the problem? there are some pages there are broken now because visual composer is not working.!!! thanks

HI Cataroojas,

- Visual Composer is an included plugin in our theme package with extended license. You don’t need a direct license key to activate it and will receive its update in our theme package.

For example: We have update Visual Composer to the latest version in our previous release as you can see here: http://truemag.cactusthemes.com/release_log.html So please don’t mind about the notification and follow our release log to know about the Visual Composer update.

If you still want to have your own license, you could buy it from http://codecanyon.net/item/visual-composer-page-builder-for-wordpress/242431

- For the issue of broken page, please create a ticket to http://ticket.cactusthemes.com with more details and your Admin account so we can check better.

Hello, I’ve imported the sample data on my website http://www.comanddream.com but there is no the same display than the home page of the theme: http://truemag.cactusthemes.com How to put the exact same display ?

Any reply ?

Hi Complus,

Sample data has some small differences to our demo page and please note that “Demo Images are NOT installed due to some copyrighted licenses.”

As we saw at your site http://www.comanddream.com/, the sample data was imported properly.

In order to configure menu, header style, etc like in our demo, you can read the “Theme Settings” section in our document here http://truemag.cactusthemes.com/doc/docs/theme-settings

For further question, please create a ticket to our Support System at http://ticket.cactusthemes.com so we can help you better.

hello, I have a pre-sale quesion. how the episodes and links button work in this link http://truemag.cactusthemes.com/happy-food/ , You have to add link manually by html code or you create many pages in one post, or just add link or embedcode. can you send me the screenshot when you edit this post. and all the episodes, links, playlist feature can work with openload embed code, right?. can I create a website like demo, I want to research all features of theme by view and edit post, playlist,videos…., I can’t learn it from zero :( Thanks so much

Hi Jesse,

Thanks for contacting us.

You do not need to do anything with the html code. In your post edit, just select the series for your post in the “Series” box on the right side. Theme will automatically create and display your post in episodes mode.

Please check our documentation with step-by-step instructions and screenshots here for more details: http://truemag.cactusthemes.com/doc/docs/other-features/movie-series/

Hi, when I try to put a review rating of a certain amount of stars, there is no place to insert what the rating is, ie 50% etc. I have to create a new review criteria, add the points rating there, then delete the new, second review criteria to get the points to stick.

I’m wondering why there are no field to enter the point amounts for reviews?

Disregard this, I figured out what was wrong, user error …

Hi, I have same issue like WHTGNF and I have contacted you more times and submitted tickets but no one help me about this issue. When I share a link on facebook, the thumbnail does not appear I have all tried App ID, also debugging but the issue is same.

Hi Salman05,

Thanks for contacting us.

That issue is due to your server config. It denied the access to your image so Facebook couldn’t take it to display. You can see this image for more details http://imgur.com/JU3mKqJ

Please contact to your hosting to get the fix.
