The posts in the gridstack carousel and slider don’t show properly on mobile site, they overlap. Is this being fixed?

Have a screenshot? On which phone? They are tested on samsung S5 and 6 and iphone 6s and 6s+

I’m viewing on HTC Desire Eye

Is a very small and low-range device, it may have visualization issue for hardware limitations.

Is it possible to filter events by tags?

Yes sure! This is an event category called “festival” http://qantumthemes.xyz/sonik/demo0/eventtype/festival/

Is it possible to have all the events land on the events page with tags that filter on the same page?

i’m sorry this is a support request, you don’t have a valid product license

Hi there, there is no menu icon visible on mobile site. Is that being fixed?

Ah. Which colour setting in the customisation controls the mobile menu icon please?

i’m sorry this is a support request, you don’t have a valid product license

Hi, is it possible to ad leaderboard ad space in header?

Hello! there is no option for that, but you can edit the template files yourself with the provided Child Theme.

Awesome, thanks for confirming

Hi I am purchasing the theme again as soon as my PayPal refund comes back! Is there anyway to connect my homepage to new page which I have created? Example my homepage has a embedded single release and when clicked everything inner connects through the links but when I try and connect to a separate artists page it is a unclickable link. Would this be because I deleted the demo pages and kept the homepage demo only?

hello! The best way is to visit the page you want to link and copy the URL from the browser to be sure that is correct.

Hello, I am wanting to allow users to sign up free to listen and create their own playlists but also offer a membership plan where artists can upload a certain amount of tracks monthly. Could you offer me any information on going about this? Thank You.

Hello, all this is not theme territory, i’m very sorry.

What do you mean? I am going to purchase the theme i just want to know if i could incorporate a membership where artists could upload their own tracks and listeners sign up free to access our music. Thanks.

Hello! Sorry if i’ve been obscure but we are a bit in rush in these days :D The theme has no functions to do what you mean to do, because the theme takes care of presenting the contents and adding content types, while the functions that you need are special functions which requires to be added via plugins and may require as well some custom code development, which i can’t say in advance. Technically, you can do everything with this theme, but the theme makes what you see in the demos and what you can read in the manual:

http://www.qantumthemes.com/manuals/sonik/

Hi there, I downloaded the new demos. The radio station color theme comes all in black, instead of white, like in your demo. What do you suggest? Thanks.

basically, i found that the layout I need is set by .qt-featuredimage-container

here’s what I got in the child stylesheet:

.page-id-3148 .qt-featuredimage-container { top: -70px; background-image: url(http://mixtomusic.co/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Lafa-1.jpg); }

Cache is deleted on every update.

Please, let me know!

Thanks.

Setting a featured image in wordpress also doesn’t work. Doing this in the Archive Staff Members.

Hello, is very strange that your requests are being ignored from the support guy, as he is normally very precise and helpful, can you please link me your support topics of the forum?

Hi Sonik,

This is a nice theme but when I view it through my mobile phone it does not look responsive and everything is out of order.

Hi! Which mobile? Can you send a screenshot please? Also for support use helpdesk next time please ;)

*Tip for a new update:

Be incredible that the charts could have as embed or can work with beatport.com, because soundcloud have a lot of remixes and no the original mixes also have a many terms and politics of piracy.

Hello! Your suggestion sounds very interesting, I may not be able to fully understand all the implications.

Can you please explain in a practical way what can be added to the theme in order to improve its functionality regarding this point? Thanks!

I would like to purchase the theme, one issue i see is that every time i expand the browser window or make it smaller, the site reloads. Is this going to get fixed soon?

Is not an issue is made on purpose, because to increase the responsivity performance, some elements can be created differently (much lighter) server side if your browser is detected as mobile. Normally the people don’t resize the browser, and if you do you do it maybe once, and all contents are already in browser’s cache so it takes like 300 milliseconds to reload.

hello and congrats for your work!

some questions re: gridstacks plz:

1. is there a gridstacks demo like this one http://qantumthemes.com/demo/qtplaces ?

2. is it available as a separate plugin or only with sonik theme?

3. can i have diamond with horiz scrolling + open content in lightbox?

4. is there gridstacks online documentation?

thxxx, tasos

1) sure http://qantumthemes.xyz/sonik/demo0/gigs/ 2) https://codecanyon.net/item/qt-places-interactive-responsive-google-maps-wordpress-plugin/15674168 3) no 4) sure http://www.qantumthemes.com/manuals/sonik/article-categories/gridstacks/

Then the documentation is pretty short because is “inline” when you add a module via visual composer. Every element have 5 to 10 custom settings with inline explanation.

I want to be sure before I purchase. Can you play live radio shows that on air with this theme. I’m a little confused because you keep talking about .mp3 and that’s not “live.” I need this theme to be able to let user listen to shows while they are on and have a place for archived shows. Is this theme capable of doing this?

You can play an mp3 stream of any webradio provider, as long as the stream is public and not AAC.

You lot advertised your theme as being for radio stations. Radio stations are not only pre-recorded mp3 – many of them are live, which makes you’re description of your theme somewhat deceptive. Too bad, I was about the purchase it but since it does not do what I want, I’m going to find one that does. Good luck to you and be a little more clear on what your theme does next time.

Thanks for your comment, I’ll explain you why the description is NOT deceptive at all, and which is your interpretation error.

I think you thought that the theme CREATES a web radio stream, which is not, and is not possible as it requires a STREAMING SERVER first of all.

This theme, instead, allows you to stream an existing web radio stream like shoutcast or icecast, untill is a valid mp3 stream, through the web page.

The theme is NOT a replacement of a web radio provider, in fact we sell wordpress themes and not softwares for creating radio servers, which is well explained in the description of the product.

I don’t know since how much you run the radio online but you won’t find any better product, specially because we built it because there weren’t any other products fitting our needs. We have a web radio since 2011, and we built all our radio station themes exactly because there is no other theme with those capabilities. There are actually more than 4000 web radios in the world using one of our themes, from music radios to sport radios, national radios, and church ones.

So I really think you were expecting the product to do something that is not proper of a WordPress theme. This theme allows you to add unlimited web radio streams (which is a URL like http://173.192.105.231:3540/Live ) and the people can listen to the music via your website.

If you want more detailed info, please check the manual here: http://www.qantumthemes.com/manuals/sonik/knowledge-base/2-5-radio-station-channels/

If you have more doubts please let me know, I’ll be glad to clarify the tech parts of the product and its capabilities. Thank you!

Hi, this is some pre-purchase question, first, is it possible to autoplay without to much hacking? like if the live radio bar can be live always, and second question, how does the live radio works? is there a connection with platforms like Shoutcast or how does it work?

Hello, yes is possible but we don’t support that feature as is not a professional choice. You have to add custom js code to emulate a click on a play button. All the radio platforms are supported if is mp3 public stream (you need a mp3 url reachable via browser). If is shoutcast, version <2.x are not supported from chrome.

Hello! I want to buy a template for my radio station, I’ve already got my web page. and I’m running WordPress 4.7.2 I need a template with auto player if it’s possible. Which one could you recommend ? Thanks!

Hello! We just found and tested the stream of your radio, works perfectly. If you need help with that please let us know once you have a product license, we will help you setting it up correctly. Thanks!

I am about to purchase..but have some few questions pls…..can i make the songs available for download….i want to give songs free and users click DOWNLOAD link and download song to computer..

2: Does this site have page for videos…where i can upoad just videos for people to watch and download

Hello, you can link the “buy” button of an album or track to a download link. To manage downloadable files you need probably an external plugin to make this thing in a proper way, or you need to tweak a little bit the theme using the htaccess file to force the download of mp3 files instead of opening them in browser, but is possible.

For videos you are fully covered you can make filterable video galleries or use mixed galleries which supports both videos and pictures, and link to any downloadable files in the single page of the video. You can check them in the “Galleries” section of the menu here: http://qantumthemes.xyz/sonik/demo0/

ok…thank u….if i purchase…will u help me tweek the .htacess? to force downloads?

Hi, thanks for this great theme.

1.- How can i change the tittle on the “post side bar” because we name it “Editorial” and appears “Archives” this page are our “Post Front Page”. ? http://nightlifemexico.com/editorial/ Or in “design customization” the “Hide title” box don’t work. 2.- What is the principal page template to show all the photo galleries? Because we have photo albums of events or how we can create the principal page to show it? http://nightlifemexico.com/galeria/

hello, please as suggested before use the helpdesk for your next tech requests [“Please use the helpdesk for next support requests”] as this is not a support channel. This is clearly described both in the manual and in the “READ ME FIRST.txt” file of your product. We have a dedicated place and team for support, posting here is not effective nor fast. Thanks!

We already did the gallery to add shortcodes.

But, is it necessary to add a photo for a photo in each section of the fields? Is this process take a sirious time is delayed, is there other way to add a whole gallery in a single way? Since there are many photos that we upload

Yes: create a normal gallery with the Wordpress Media function, simply it can’t support videos and the carousel like this one.

You assure me that with this template podre to integrate a system of sale of mp3 music with option of payment with credit and debit card?

Also with activation of the full audio download for the client at 320 kbps. And with a limit of downloads and maximum of days?

Hello, you can easily integrate Woocommerce to sell music, all the details of purchase steps and download management are totally separated from the theme and managed via WooCommerce.

Hello how do I change the video on the ( radio station) home page?

Hello, is a background of the first row, you change it by editing the page with visual composer.

artwork for music stream would be nice:)

hi, Artwork each song a different cover image, https://developer.spotify.com/web-api/code-examples/ or for shoutcast server v2

Hi, that’s not a standard release function, in any music shop or normally any music album a release has a same cover as are track of the same album, this is how normally releases are done so we can’t add functions which are not in the normal way of building items. This would only make the theme heavier for tousands of people who will not take advantage of the function, i’m very sorry. Plus making this customization would cost dozens of hours, translatable in thousands of $ to make it as this can have hard ripercussions on all the js and php structure.

okay it was just an idea:P

Hi,

I am close to buy this item. I want customizations at functional/features level. Where can I contact you to talk about it?

Waiting for reply.

I’m sorry I didn’t say that we will make this plugin for sure. Please read carefully my answer ;) I think thou the one you linked is pretty good (didn’t test with the theme).

Haha. Cool. I’ll test hope it works with the theme.

By the way, enjoying your theme! Exploring more.

With Sonik it shouldn’t have prolems
