Great design amazing features and just an all round top theme for anyone wanting to setup a video style website. Really great team of developers who also give 110% help and support.

From customer: cre8iveit

This is a great theme for video, one of the best that i could find in terms of video centric features, design and layout options.

The documentation is good, clear, simple and well organised to guide you through the setup.

It is very inspiring for me to build my website and i think it’s really worth the money for what you can get.

The theme also looks great on mobile phone, test it yourself.

Highly recommend this!

From customer: SunComms_Media

Awesome theme! True Mag has all the features and functions you’ll need in a video membership site. The finished product looks highly professional and very user friendly. Hands down the best video membership site on the market! Their customer support is superb! They were really helpful and gave me a lot of invaluable advice. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for professional and slick WordPress themes. Great job guys!

Greetings,

Pre-purchase inquiry. First off all great work. I am really impressed by this theme. I have a serious inquiry though. On many wordpress articles people advice users to run the demo on several website speed test. The results I have been getting are not very good. example: https://tools.pingdom.com/#!/eJrAqq/http://truemag.cactusthemes.com/ http://www.webpagetest.org/result/160628_M7_ASP/ https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=http%3A%2F%2Ftruemag.cactusthemes.com%2F&tab=desktop Are all demos up to date with the most current version of the theme? Please do not take this comment as criticism or anything like that. It is just a serious question from a total noob.

Hi Tecnomantis,

Thanks for contacting us.

Our TrueMag theme is optimized for best performance. However, please understand that the loading speed still depend on many factors for a good performance website.

It’s normal because most of sites now use a lot of Javascript to enhance user experience. (Infact, Wordpress and plugins have javascript in their code, it’s not only ourTheme)

The version of current TrueMag demo page is 4.2.7, but the latest version is 4.2.8.2 so there are some differences of the page speed between them.

Hi, I have an issue with the share function. When I want to share a video on Facebook (for example), it shares the video although I selected “link back to video post URL” in theme options. I want to share the feature image with link to the video post.

You can see an example: http://leedstime.com/tony-curtis-revelations-inedites-du-casanova-dhollywood/

Thank you!

Hi,

Thank you for your answer. I desactivated SEO plugin and it still doesnt work. The Facebook Open Graph keep the application/x-shockwave-flash as sharing type.

Problem fixed. Just had to select “No” for SEO – Echo Meta Tags in Theme Options and using Yoast SEO.

Thx

Hi Leedstime,

That’s great. Do not hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions.

Hello there.. great theme ,very useful ..few questions & issues:

1- Is there a way to add the excerpt in popular videos display on right side of images thumbnails while we enable the views, likes and comments count aswell? currently the excerpt appears below the thumbnail and looks empty this way..heres the screenshot to give a clear idea what i ask http://prntscr.com/bl45t1 (this is the default most popular post widget. )

2- How do i set the News category layout as news blog like your site here http://themeforest.net/item/true-mag-wordpress-theme-for-video-and-magazine/full_screen_preview/6755267 with latest post larger than other. which layout is that? right sidebar, left sidebar or full width? coz none of them are like the news blog in your site.

How can I have 8 column in Medium Carousel and my website is Full Width

Hi,

Thanks for contacting us.

You can easily set the column numbers of Medium Carousel in Smart content box settings Please check this image for more details http://imgur.com/OgaQCMA

Best regards,

CactusThemes

Thanks for reply, but in Medium Carousel column max limit is 6 but i want 8, how can i change?

Hi,

Thanks for contacting us.

We designed the Smart Content Box layout with 2/4/6 column because it will not be enough space to display the content (both images and text) in each column, if there are too much columns. Thanks for your understanding.

How can i add this script into playertag like it said ?
Place the code straight under your playerTag <!-- BEGIN EroAdvertising InVideo Plugin --> <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" charset="utf-8" src="//invideo.ero-advertising.com/invideo/preloader.php?spaceid=2114029&siteid=113852"></script> <!-- END EroAdvertising InVideo Plugin -->

they said that i must added after the player script (js file) but i can’t find it on theme.

if you know Vietnamese then i will use Vietnamese to explain what i want to say. - Mình có h?i support bên cung c?p qu?ng cáo thì h? nói là chèn code này phía d??i code c?a jw player, nh?ng mình tìm toàn b? file trong S?a Theme c?ng không th?y nó ? ?âu, b?n có th? cho mình bi?t ???c không ? @@

Hi, first – thank you for all your fantastic “incredibly fast updates” for this theme. It is very much appreciates, since some other authors take sometimes months to update, which is a problem when vc etc. plugins depend on the theme author.

sorry cannot renew my support currently due to hospital stay, but have to complete the customizations on the theme. Need only one custom css to know: to change the background of the tooltip from white to a dark color.

I already found how to change the button [watch now and quick view]. Really appreciate it.

Just for my own info: am using the child theme of course – if I want to create a new/custom template page, that has the header and footer, but content is “essential grid only” – would it work? Or can I just simply use essential grid using vc>

Thank you. :)

Hi,

Thanks for your kind words,

You can try with this CSS code to change background color for tooltip

.tooltip-inner{background-color:#999;}
In addition, you still can use default grid Shortcode of Wordpress but it’s better to built the site is using Visual composer.

hello i am interested to buy this theme but i have some questions can i make the carousel and prev and next buttons on the carrousel like on www.hulu.com? i mean to be closer each onother and more than 4 columns and the next and left arrow to be on left and right.

Hi

Thanks for contacting us.

Currently, we haven’t got any slider look exactly as at hulu.com. But we offer user a wide selection of Sliders with 12 pre-made layouts to choose.

For example, you can take a look at some demo pages: - http://truemag.cactusthemes.com/home-page-metro/ (Metro slider with 5 columns and prev, next buttons) - http://truemag.cactusthemes.com/home-page-revolution-slider/ (slider’s built on the premium Revolution Slider plugin)

and many others here http://truemag.cactusthemes.com/doc/docs/theme-settings/configure-header-style/

How can I update the Visual Composer plugin? It stopped working and it’s not in the plugin directory.

Hi,

- Visual composer (and Revolution slider) is packed plugin. ??It means you will receive new versions from us and you do not have ability to download them directly from their authors.

- So, please don’t mind about the update notification and follow our release log for new updates. http://truemag.cactusthemes.com/release_log.html

To get latest & full theme package, please go to your ThemeForest account > Download section: choose TrueMag theme package to download. Then you will find Visual Composer in the “Plugins” folder in that package. You can check our document here for more information http://truemag.cactusthemes.com/doc/docs/true-mag-general/download-theme-package/

For further question related to plugins working issue, please submit a ticket to our Support System at http://ticket.cactusthemes.com/ with more details of the issue, so we can help you better.

Presale enquiry, I’d like this to be an automated video site, so users can upload or post there own videos and place it into the categories, also then the most viewed or best liked videos will hit the front page, does your theme do something like that? Also will it automatically take the pictures for the video from youtube or freeze frame itself, or do we have to upload pictures separately, really after a user experience to be able to do this themselves.

Hi Revery,

Thanks for contacting us.

True Mag theme has all the features which you mentioned above:

- users can upload or post their own videos and place it into the categories

- most viewed or best liked videos will hit the front page. For example: you can use the Smart Content Box shortcode to display your videos in the Front page, and filter them by most viewed/most liked/most commented video. Please check our document here for more details http://truemag.cactusthemes.com/doc/docs/theme-settings/smart-content-box/smart-content-box-parameters/

- also, when you create a video post, True Mag will automatically take the featured image of the video from Youtube, or you can upload your own picture to replace it if you want.

We are looking forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,

CactusThemes.
