Hello

i have a problem with the theme, the message is:

“The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.”

Theme install failed.

Thank you

Hi there,

It seems you’re trying to install a wrong zip file as wp theme, in downloadable zip package you can find “boombox.zip”, which is correct theme file and can be installed.

Thanks!

dear @zombiemaker thank you so much for your reply, i tried to change news category’s name, and its worked, i created a news with that translated category. but when i try to change slug, its not working as you said. so im only able to change post type’s name, not slug, right?

Thanks for the question, yes you are right, for now you can change post type’s name and not slug. The reason in ViralPress. You can address your request directly to ViralPress author. Please feel free to contact us in case of any question.

What about community page? Is its including only member created posts, or it shows everything? And can I disable to create Audio posts ?

Hi there,

You can check boombox and viralpress integration (backend pages) here http://boombox-viralpress.px-lab.com/ – use demo/demo public access . Every user can see the post list created by him. There is no option to disable audio upload only, but you can ask about possible solution plugin’s author via link provided above.

Thanks!

Been asking a lot of my local business clients what they think would be great for a viral media theme. One that repeatedly gets brought up is calendar integration. Like Eventure: https://themeforest.net/item/eventure-responsive-events-wp-theme/1529155 has but with JSON-LD https://developers.google.com/search/docs/data-types/events

This way it is a viral way to spread news,humor and events thru the local community via facebook ect. With JSON-LD they would also rank easily in google. Also add a taxi call button to make money of off uber affilates like this theme did. https://themeforest.net/item/mycity-geolocation-directory-and-events-guide/12265153?s_rank=1.

Maybe a buy ticket button for concert and events.

What do you think?

Hi, thanks for your comment and suggestion. Calendar feature is great idea we will add your suggestion in requests list and will consider adding that option in Boombox. Now we are working on major update list for the theme and after that will consider all requests that we received during this time. Please feel free to contact us in case of any question.

Hey, just a suggestion…

This moblie version carousel (http://i.imgur.com/Czy4fj0.png) above the posts is tricky, seems to much like the post featured image. I think it’s too big for the carousel, and seems like just a part of the post.

While I’m here… Can i hide this carousel (just the mobile theme, because in the desktop version is soo cool) somehow and show instead the post featured image? :)

And one another question… Can i somehow show/hide featured image (per post) in the post admin panel? Because i don’t find it.

By the way… The theme is awesome, great job guys. :) I’m really excited about the new updates… :)

Hi, thanks for question and suggestions. Unfortunately you can’t hide anything in mobile version only. For hiding image per post you need to go to Customizing mode=>Layouts Post Single=>Hide elements=media. Thanks again, for any further assistance please also see our documentation for boombox

Well, just checked demos and 4 is a quite enough with great features supporting the main goal of a theme: build viral social blog site! Great job, guys!

Cheers,
Tony.

Thank you Tony :)

@ultrasalgeria unfortunately is no possible to to change that, also you cant change the name of the page where is the shortcode of viralpress, if you edit this all the plugins stop working properly :/

As a recomendation for other buyers, Im rencently using this plugin Featured Video Plus https://wordpress.org/plugins/featured-video-plus/ works great with boombox, you can set a featured video instead the featured image or is posible to open the video after the user click on the featured image.

Hope the author can add that option (play video after click on featured image) but meanwhile we can use this.

Hi, thanks for the comment and you recommendation. We will consider possibility to play video after clicking on featured image.

Stupid question, I can´t figure out how to put an emoji? icon? on the trending badge just like in the demo (the thunder icon)

Hi, you need to go to customize the theme=>Design=>Badges=>Reactions Type=Face. Let us know if you will have more questions. Thanks

Thanks now I see them, I thought you could use icons for categories and the text only reactions only had effect on the emoji reactions

You’re welcome :)

On the homepage I want to show posts as a list rather than a grid. How do I do this?

Hi, go to customize mode in Boombox=>Layouts=>Archive=>Listing Type=>Grid.

Please see documentation for boombox to easily manage the theme.

Loving the script so far! I can’t see to find where to delete this part: http://puu.sh/ra9XG/39e1aa95e6.png

Its at the top of a post and at the bottom! Thanks :)

Hi, thanks for choosing Boombox. Have you tried to update excerpt in post?

Hi, thanks for the reply! I believe I have tried that and doesn’t seem to be working still :(

Could you please provide your site url and point us from where exactly you want to delete the text? Thanks

we found a bug. When editing text in a post, when we selected “fullscreen” once we enter fullscreen it doesn’t let us exit out. In the viralpress website, it does, but in your theme, it doesn’t. http://screencast.com/t/Ggj68qSgtR

Hi, thanks for reporting, we will review and will let you know about the solution.

Hi, i can’t view the Reactions system in my wordpress dashboard

Done.

What is the size of the compressed theme?

Because when I downloaded, it weighs only 3.84 MB.

Hi again, yes, that’s exact theme size.

hello, i use boombox with viralpress, is there any way to change post type slugs? because i translate theme to my own language, and for example when i try to create a news, it says that i should create ‘news’ category before. but it shouldnt be english, i want to make it in my own language.

Hi there, Thanks for the question, please see comment by zombiemaker below. Hope this will be helpful.

I also have the same error as other users have pointed out: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/xxx/public_html/wp-content/themes/boombox/includes/rate-and-vote-restrictions/vote/class-boombox-vote-restriction-trait.php on line 11

What is the fix for this? Surely it is not practical for you to login into everyone’s FTP to resolve this. I hope you can let us know the fix so we can learn and make the changes ourselves.

It seems that your PHP version is lower than 5.4, you need to have it higher than 5.4. Please try to contact your hosting provider to solve that. Please feel free to contact us in case of any question.

Thanks, that worked.

i need to add my homepage same as demo please help.

Thanks for choosing BoomBox. Could you please provide your site url? Also please see theme installation guide from documentation for boombox. It makes theme managing easier and faster.

Hi,

First of all, thank you for such an awesome template. It would be really nice to see if you will add more details in post author box like bio, social links, website etc.

Thanks!

Thank you for choosing BoomBox. We have added bio text in author box, it will work with next update and we will consider showing social links, website as well. Thanks

Hello, How to show the featured image in the detail article?

Hi there,

Check if in “customiser->post single->layouts” the “media” checkbox under “hide elements” is unchecked.

Thanks!

Hey, I just wanted to know how to disable the top share bar and keep the bottom share bar?

I want the title to show and then the article body below instead of a large gap.

Thank you!

Hi there,

Currently we have option to hide only bottom sharebar, but we’re enhancing theme and soon there will be also another one for top sharebar.

Thanks!

I love this theme and everything that you are doing with it, but I was wondering if you could add a feature? I have purchased UpVote on themeforest but the theme is lacking a lot in coding structure, 3rd party plugin compatibility, and support. However, the one thing it has going for it is the URL upload feature which takes the heading and main image from other websites. Here is an explanation of the themes plugin: “UpVote theme is powered by a custom-build plugin that will enable registered users to submit url (in UpVote we called it story) and the theme can automatically fetch the post title, featured image and description from the link, as long as the url support Open Graph.”

Can you implement a similar feature like this into your theme? If so, your theme will be the unstoppable. I really need this feature…

Hi there,

It’s useful feature and we already considered adding it, currently it’s in our future updates list and we’re going to get back to this just after we finish some major updates.

Thank you!

Hi, I’m using the Boombox theme now for 4 weeks, it works great. But, I would like to use the “Social Warefare” plugin instead of “MashShare”. Is this functional and technically possible?

Thanks in advanced.

Hi, thanks for choosing BoomBox. We didn’t tested Social Warefare with Boombox, however theme is well coded and they should be compatible, it is possible that you will miss some options that Mashshare have with Boombox, however you can send your comments and found issues about the plugin integration to us. Currently we have major updates list and we are concentrated in continuing support fo Mashshare, any way we can consider possibility to implement Social Warfare after Major updates. Please feel free to contact us in case of any question.

Hi

When can we expect native front end uploader? What features included initially? If you give us some expected date, by that we will think of buying viralpress.

Thanks

Hi, thanks for the question. We are working on the plugin, and it hard to say exact date of release, however we hope to finish it approximately in October. Thanks

Thats cool. What about poll and quiz features? This may be last question.

Thanks

Pull and Quiz will be included in plugin, as well as many other features. Please feel free to contact us in case of any other question.
