Hello again 
I’m looking at my newly launched website that’s using your theme and I’m seeing many errors in Google Webmaster Tools regarsing missing hentry author / updated / entry-title data. I believe I’m getting this error on every page and my research indicates that this is something that would need to be coded into the theme.
Are you familiar with a fix for these errors?
Hi,
Thanks for contacting us.
It’s strange because our NewsTube theme has a good structured data as you can see it passed the testing tool of Google here: https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool/u/0/#url=http%3A%2F%2Fnewstube.cactusthemes.com%2FPlease check your site again and you can create a ticket to our Support System at http://ticket.cactusthemes.com/ along with your site URL, so we can check the issue better.

Hi,
I have a question about Polls..
I translated all about polls in my .po file in newstube->languages.
There is a sentence that not keeps the translation and I see always the originals.
The sentence is:
You must choose your answer first, You must verify You’re not a robot, You’ve already voted this poll, You’ve been voted this poll successfully, Voting…
I translated all the sentence separated to comma, but the part “You’ve already voted this poll” is always in original language..
How can I fix this issue?
tnx
Hi,
Thanks for contacting us. For translation in .po file, we have checked and found that it works normally. In addition, you can go to wp-content\plugins\cactus-poll\cactus-poll.php file and find line 118 and change segment “You must choose your answer first, You must verify You’re not a robot, You’ve already voted this poll, You’ve been voted this poll successfully, Voting…”
You can refer this document for more information http://wplang.org/translate-theme-plugin/

Hi there,
I’m seeing some extra text about related posts and view counts being displayed on some of the post sliders and smart content shortcodes: http://prntscr.com/csoe46 Any idea how I can stop this from displaying?
I’m also seeing some very different numbers being counted on the post view counts when compared to my analytics. The post view counts are significantly lower, so I’m assuming a post is only being counted when they are clicked on from within the site (not counting incoming landing views), can you confirm how these counts are recorded?
Finally getting my site launched with your theme, and I’m really liking it! Thanks so much for your help! 
Hi,
Thanks for contacting us.
- Related posts display on Post Slider and Smart Content Box shortcode, because it is default in Wordpress, if you do not enter text in the excerpt section. It will take content from your post, it is limited to show up to 50 words for description and it is because text in your Post is short content, below section will get more content and cause this issue. In to fix this issue, you just need to enter text in the excerpt field, content of description will only display text in excerpt and any mistake will not appear.
- With number next Related post, it is not view count, it is the YARPP match score between the current entry and this related entry.

Hello again 
1. My posts have far more than enough text to fill the space and I am also using the read more function to limit what is shown, but the related posts are still displaying no matter what. They are also going way over the character limit.
2. The first number that’s being displayed before the related posts is also the posts (viewcount), not the YARPP score which is displayed after the related post title.
3. The view counts of my posts continue to be far under what I”m seeing in Google Analytics. Can you confirm that posts are only being counted if they are clicked through from certain areas?
Thanks so much for all your dilligent efforts!

Hello,
My site is showing a little ‘label’ on top of all my featured posts … any way to show the primary category, or the category under which the shortcode is pulling from?
http://prntscr.com/cqd6u0Hi,
Thanks for contacting us.
Unfortunately, it is impossible to show the primary category (parent category) on posts of child category. All Posts only can show Category of themself.
Best Regards,
CactusThemes
Hey! thanks for the quick response. It’s not showing the parent category (I don’t have any parent/children … all on the same level) it’s just showing the first alphabetical category. Any way to choose which category is displayed there when there are multiple categories assigned?
Hi,
Thanks for getting back to us.
Unfortunately, we have no option to choose which category is displayed when there are multiple categories assigned. By default, it shows the first alphabetical category as you said.
We are sorry for this inconvenience and thanks for your understanding.

I moved from BAW Popular posts to Top 10 plugin, per your approval it would all work, and I’ve noticed the Smart Content boxes are not pulling from Top 10.
It is still pulling from BAW and I don’t have that anymore…
Is this the case or is there something else going on? It seems Top 10 works just find using their widget and all but the theme’s widgets an visual composer integrations don’t work with it at all….
This is a huge problem.. I use both and again, I asked if it would work. 
Hi
When you use both plugins, BAW is chosen. You have to deactivate BAW to use Top 10.
Before using Top 10, you need to use BAW Optimizer plugin (included in the package) to convert data from BAW to Top 10 first.
Best regards
CactusThemes
I did the above. I converted the data and I also have 100% disabled and then deleted BAW. Top 10 is working fine… It is the theme that is not seeing the data in Top 10.

hello, Why (gtmetrix.com and google page speed)give a bad rating for this theme?
Hi,
Thanks for contacting us.
Indeed! The main reason is that images in shortcode are bigger than needed (to support resonsive feature). This does not affect overall performance of the site as you can see, the loading speed is still good. Google Page Speed and GTMatrix just provide some indications for web developer to check, it is not a must-do job.
Just saying that, we are still working to improve the theme so it will get higher score in the future

Hi, is there any way to let the theme see my gravatar? I set it up correctly but it doesn’t appear. Suggestions?
Hi,
Thanks for contacting us.
Theme will automatically detect your Gravatar via the email you entered, so please check your email again. For more information you can refer https://codex.wordpress.org/How_to_Use_Gravatars_in_WordPress
Or you can use Avatar Plugin to manage the User Avatar easily such as:

ok thanks, i did it. Who decide which posts go inside the “Front page header / Main top sidebar” ? I read the user guide and i see how to change or modifiy it, what i don’t understand is how to decide which posts put inside.
can i have an answere? How to manage the posts inside the home page? How to send a category or a post inside main top sidebar, header and so on? Thanks
i really need an indication or i’m going to ask a refund and leave a bad review to this damned theme.
i guess this is the code to change.
[xgrid layout=”1” order=”DESC” cats=”” speed=”2000” count=”6” tags=”XGRID-7,XTHUMBSLIDER-4,XGRID-10,XTHUMBSLIDER-1,XGRID-2,XGRID-11”]
In the fron page header content (page edit) But how to change it? In the theme options there are no options about this issue. In the main top sidebar (widget page) there is NOTHING, it is EMPTY.
User manual? Available widget: http://doc.cactusthemes.com/newstube/#widgets 404 NOT FOUND
available shortcodes: http://doc.cactusthemes.com/newstube/#shortcodes 404 NOT FIND
What i have to do? I see you answered other users yesterday but ignored me.
My home page is full of dummy images and empty categories. I need to send my posts and categories inside the main top sidebar and the main bottom sidebar. Please answer.
again: in the user manual you say “Most of the properties of shortcodes are optional. You only need to include properties when needed. The shortcode button generator can be found in Classic Editor or Visual Composer” ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUE: no way to find the short code button generator in the page edit.
Newstube – shortcode plugin is installed and active. No settings to edit.
there is the link “visit the plugin’s homepage”: it doesn’t exist. It opens your homepage with NO link to any plugin.
In the quick user manual you say: <<Front Page Header/ Main Top Sidebar
To configure this section, go to Appearance > Widgets and drag widgets in/out of Main Top Sidebar
In a page using Front Page template, this position can be configured in Front Page Header Settings box when editing that page
In this example, we use a Text Widget and add into it [xgrid] shortcode”>>
Well, in the Appearance > Widget, the widget Main Top Sidebar is empty: nothing to change or edit. (but the main top sidebar appears in the homepage!!) When editing the page i find the code i pasted above, and NO BUTTON to generate or learn something about the shortcodes used in this template. So i don’t know how to change it.
In the Theme Options > Frontpage, nothing to do. Whatever i change there doesn’t appear in the homepage unless i cancel the shortcodes that you put in the front page header content (page edit).
So really, i give up. Please help or refund.
Hi,
We are so sorry for any inconvenience you have got and our delay in responding.
This is our answer for you question:
- In Front Page Header options: you can enter Post Slider shortcode to show a Slider on your Home Page. The details of Post Slider parameters are wrote in this document: http://newstube.cactusthemes.com/doc/docs/shortcodes/posts-grid/
You can indicate which post will be shown by the “ids” parameter, in the document you can see it is stated that: “ids – mix – list of post IDs to query, separated by a comma. If this value is not empty, cats, tags and featured are omitted”
- Similarly, you can add Post Slider shortcode to a Text widget, then drag it the the Main Top Sidebar position to display a slider.
- Although, there is no button to generate the shortcode directly in Front Page Header Content option (or in Text Widget for Main Top Sidebar), user can generate the shortcode via the Visual Composer editor (of Post or Page) as well as they can copy the sample shortcode in our document and manually custom it due to their demand.
Besides the documentation, we have this Video tutorial to help customer configure the Homepage using shortcode themselves: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPNJucM_Umc
Actually, the document links of widget and shortcodes are as below, and we can access these documents normally.
- http://newstube.cactusthemes.com/doc/docs/widgets/
- http://newstube.cactusthemes.com/doc/docs/shortcodes
We don’t know why you got the links with # sign?

Hi i understand and i forgive, but please notice that near my name, on this board, “purchased” and “supported” appear, and since i’m using themeforest (several years) i always got my technical issues solved here.
Anyway i’m using your documentation at this address:
http://newstube.cactusthemes.com/document/index.html and http://newstube.cactusthemes.com/quickstart.htmlHere i found a lot of broken link. (almost all the links are broken actually). That’s why i’m saying that your documentation is not good.
Is there other documents i shuld read to study the procedures?
ah ok you just gave me the new links. Please update the links around your theme because when i search your theme documentation i don’t land on the link you just gave me but on the link i’m using, that are full of broken pages.
Anyway… it worked (of course). My homepage is ok now. I guess the procedure for the main BOTTOM sidebar is the same… Thank you
guys, let me say that with the right documentation this theme become very good! Please always be sure that your customers receive the right documentations links! I really don’t know how i ended up to the old one (maybe i searched on google, i don’t remember), but be aware that it can happen. Delete it or replace with a redirect! That’s all right now, if i need something i’ll call you here. But now it’s well documented. Thanks.

Please take a glance at the NewsTube layout here, you can see the Main Bottom Sider is similar to the Front Page Header/Main Top SIdebar http://newstube.cactusthemes.com/doc/docs/theme-layout/main-layout/
According to your feedback, we will update the document links around the theme.

Hi, i’ve pretty much gone over the whole “newspaper” category checking all the available themes and i haven’t find what i’m looking for.
I’m in the need of a theme available to replicate the system that this newspaper site is using: www.soychile.cl
I’m specifically looking foward to replicate the left sidebar, where i’d be able to place and change each newspaper’s page (images), and the full screen width layout.
I’ve seen that your theme counts with plenty customization features, is it possible to achieve something like the link i left above? The most important feature i’m needig is that left sidebar, with newspaper pages in it, the fixed header AND the full screen width layout so i can take advantage of the entire available space.
If you tell me that i can achieve that with your theme/builder, then i’ll purchase it instantly, thanks in advance
Hi,
Thanks for contacting us.
Currently Newstube theme only has the layouts like our demo page. And it requires to do much of customized code to get the theme layout (with header, left sidebar, etc) look like your site http://www.soychile.cl/, but we don’t provide support for this kind of service. So you need to customize code yourself or find a freelancer to get help.
