Hi.

Is this tested under wordpress 4.8?

Kind regards

Yes, working.

Hello, The Ads Pro Plugin / Settings/ Payment Settings/ is requiring a purchase code, where do I find it if I need it to unlock the pro settings? I’m asking since this plugin was offered as a bonus. Thanks

Hi, sorry for the late response. Send me an email to support@strictthemes.com and I’ll send you instructions to activate.

Regards, Luis.

So, I made the mistake of purchasing this theme without first checking if Visual Composer was supported…

Unfortunately I am migrating an existing site to this theme that relied heavily on VC. I’ve seen in previous comments you mentioned that you planned on adding it in the future. Do you have any idea how soon this will happen?

Thanks,

Hi, we don’t have any release date yet. We have been putting a lot of effort trying to make things as easy as possible using our themes so nobody has to rely in third party plugins to get the most of it. It is still in our roadmap but can’t tell you when will it be ready.

Regards, Luis.

Hi StrictThemes, I’ve set the sidebar position to be on the right in the ShockMag layout settings (https://pasteboard.co/dEarQrUyA.png), but on all WooCommerce pages, the sidebar still displays on the right (https://pasteboard.co/dEdp5ry4o.png). I want the sidebar to be consistently on the right on ALL pages. Please help!

Hi, after investigating this thing we found a bug that needs to be addressed. In the mean time just edit woocommerce.php line 32 and change the word ‘left’ for ‘right’ https://cl.ly/3s2r2e360Y0T . We will release an update when it’s fixed.

Regards, Luis.

Hi Luis, Thanks for the reply. I searched for that particular string of code in woocommerce.php (both versions: the one in the woocommerce folder and the one in the shockmag theme folder) but there was no string of code containing ”$st_[‘sidebar_position’]”. I would share the file here except it’s not possible to upload files.

Couple of things here, don’t edit any files inside woocommerce plugin folder. The file woocommerce.php should be inside your theme folder and if you are using a child theme and the file is not there just copy it from the parent theme to the child one without removing the file from the parent theme. Then look on line 32, you will see it.

If you still don’t find it please reach me by email at support@strictthemes.com and we will take it from there.

Regards, Luis.

Hello, I need to add a comment system that supports facebook/twitter logins. How can it be done with this template?

Hi, we haven’t tested any plugin with that functionality with our themes. I’m afraid that you’ll need to test them out and see which one works nice with the theme. There are plenty of them, I’m sure you’ll find one that works.

Regards, Luis.

Hi,

How do I get this tab menu: http://imgur.com/a/BuG0q

I want it to show the latest video, then maybe in the second tab (recent) have a list of other video posts. Then I want it to appear in the sidebar.

Thanks

Where did you see that thing? post the url and maybe I can tell you how to do it.

Regards, Luis.

Bottom of the Sports sample page: http://strictthemes.com/shockmag-2/

and bottom of the Shortcodes page: http://strictthemes.com/shockmag-2/shortcodes/

WP Review plugin is in charge for that. Go to “Appearance -> Widgets” and add it’s widget to “Footer Sidebar 1” https://cl.ly/230l0A2H1L3d https://cl.ly/2l3y1j0y320i

I’m not sure if you’ll be able to do what you want with this method because you don’t have control over the categories with that widget. You better try with ST Posts.

Regards, Luis.

Hi,

I’ve just tried to put a new ST Posts widget on my default sidebar, showing the videos category (using the slug). But when I check the site, the post list is not showing. Website, theme, plugins have been updated. I don’t know what else can be stopping the ST Posts widget from showing. Thanks

Sorry don’t worry, I figured it out.

Hi,

Is there a way to increase the amount of posts appearing on the front page blogroll? My front page looks like it’s missing a 13th post at the bottom. URL: www.pittalkasia.com

Thanks

Hi, increase this number to 13 https://cl.ly/2X2H3D2E2v1T and use this option https://cl.ly/1H1r3p140O41

Regards, Luis.

Hi,

Great templates.

I update my site everyday with posts, and today I have noticed that the “Enable Zoom” option on each post is not working.

I check the box to activate it but the images in the post don’t zoom.

My website: www.pittalkasia.com.

How can I fix this?

Thanks

Hi, the “Enable Zoom” only applies to the featured image on top https://cl.ly/2W3P3V270l3k

After checking it, we found a problem that needs to be fixed for that feature to start working again anyways.

I will update this thread when we solve it. It will probably involve a theme update.

Regards, Luis.

How do I place an image slide within a post?

See example of what I’m talking about http://strictthemes.com/shockmag-1/gallery-post-format-with-left-oriented-sidebar/

Please help. Also is there any videos about the setup of the Shockmag theme

Hi, you have to set that post format to Gallery ( http://take.ms/GJftV ) then go to the bottom, to format options box and build the gallery, see: http://take.ms/dZPEA

You have some more step by step guides here http://strictthemes.com/shockmag/category/documentation/ apart from the documentation that comes with the theme.

Regards, Luis.

Hi,

I’m really pleased with the sports template. Thanks.

Just wondering if I can query particular post format types?

Like have all the Video post formats appear on a page and a short list of recent video format post types.

Or is it easier if I check Video in categories?

Thanks

Hi, it’s definitely easier to add a category named “video” and then make a section to show only that category.

Regards, Luis.

Hi! Is there any way to delete the box in which the footer/header ads are encapsuled? Thanks!

Hi, it is possible to not show any ads on the page. All the ad spots are managed through Theme Panel and via Widgets section.

Regards, Luis.

How is possible to change new post appear as H2 instead of H3?

That change requires to edit the code.

Regards, Luis.

Hello,

I’m having a problem since the recent update. In my Store, it seems like the product descriptions are not showing up. All I’m seeing is a small icon and I’ve dug everywhere to try and turn it on. Can you point me to the right direction?

Thank you

Can you please send me a direct message with your wp login credentials? I’d like to have a look because the title is not even in the output.

Have you tried deactivating the plugins that are not required/optional with the theme? Maybe another plugin is doing something under the hood.

Have you tweaked or added code to your functions.php?

Regards, Luis.

Sure

Replied.

Hey, Great theme, just bought this theme and i have applied it to my site and its up and running. But you got to help me out with a couple of things…. . First im using ads pro (from the past), when i set up the ad in the second sidebar, the image will be clickable in desktop mode but not in mobile mode? The header banner working just fine in both modes. You can see it your self on my website. The second question is: i want to change the menu color. Third question: can i make with a bit wider in boxed layout? Forth question: can i set fullscren images on background under header, and the header is a little transparent? Fifth question : in boxed layout the background image doesent seem to be visable on the sides only underneeth the center.

And if you got some handy tips and perhaps some good css code to tip me when you have taken a moment to look att my site, it would have been most appreciated from my side.

Please have a look at my site: Http://cruisingsverige.se

With regards// Alex- Northen Sweden

Hi Alex,

1. Add this in Theme Panel->Style->Custom>

.sidebar-ad-b .bsaProContainer, .sidebar-ad-b .bsaProContainer .bsaProItems { overflow-y: auto; }

We will be fixing this in the next update.

2. Menu color in your case corresponds to secondary color, you can change it in “Theme Panel->Style->General” or via CSS:

#menu-box { background: #e7a32a; }

3. Sure, increase the number:

.boxed #layout { max-width: 1300px; }

4. “can i set fullscren images on background under header” Not without some modifications on your code.

The header already comes with some transparency: https://cl.ly/2K0b3L0X452p If you want to modify it this would be the rule:

.header-bg #header-holder { background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.7); }

You can also apply RGBA in your second question.

The background images are taken from the categories https://cl.ly/063W2Y0l1z0t So whatever you set there would be used as the background for that slide.

5. That is how the boxed layout works, otherwise would be pretty much the same as the wide one.

Regards, Luis.

Thx for the fast reply, i think i get a hang for it now. Got a question more, dont know if its a theme question or a plugin question but i start by asking you. Its in the ” The event calander ” pages. Page nr1 in the calender everythings works but when in page nr2 all the images goes in to each other. please take a look at it. http://cruisingsverige.se/kalender/

Hi, it must be something with ajax call from the plugin. If you visit any of the pages with the direct link it’s being shown correctly. http://cruisingsverige.se/kalender/?action=tribe_photo&tribe_paged=2&tribe_event_display=photo

Does the plugin have the option to turn off ajax?

Regards, Luis.

Tried installing the update but the update keeps failing (destination folder already exists): http://oi65.tinypic.com/k9ygr5.jpg Also, when I try to rename the folder and the stylesheet details (eg: folder to “shockmag2” and Theme Name in style.css to “shockmag2”) before uploading, it still fails and says “style.css could not be found.” Great theme, but really slow support – have to wait several days for a response on any issue, however small or big the question.

Hi, that is because the theme is already installed and you are uploading the same folder again. The fastest way is to go to your themes folder and delete the current folder and put the new one there.

If you are doing this on a production site then do the following:

1. Rename the folder you are going to upload. (for example: shockmag-upd) 2. Upload it to your themes folder 3. Once uploaded it, delete shockmag parent theme folder and rename shockmag-upd to shockmag

Not ideal but that would be the procedure.

Regards, Luis.

Hello i have a fast question, how i can have a page like this with categories ? strictthemes.com/shockmag-1/categories/ i have tried everything :( THANK YOU

Hi, here’s your fast reply: Create a page and set the page template to “Categories” like this: https://cl.ly/2A2I0W2k1I41 :P

Regards, Luis.

Hi,

If I need to paste an embed code above the closing body tag of my website, where would I paste this without having to go into php code files?

Thanks

Hi, if you don’t want to edit any php file you can use a plugin like this one: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-insert-code/

Will make the task of enqueuing code for you easier.

Regards, Luis.

Great, thanks.

Hi, Great theme! Just a short question. How can I change/add social icons and links in ST Share? I would like to have in Widgets VK.com.

Well is not just one element that you take away, the way that shadow is composed improves readability and to makes the text to stand out. I can give you some css to take it away but have a look before: https://cl.ly/1f0P1K1E0g2S

Regards, Luis.

Hi, Thank you for your support. I got your idea and partle agree with youi point. Actually I need to take the shadow away on blogroll only. At least I will bring it back if don’t like the result. So can you give CSS how-to remove shadow on the blogroll?

As you wish:

Add this to “Theme Panel->Style->Custom”:
/* Reposition Background to Fill Space */
.post-t6-yes-thumb a.post-thumb {
    background-color: transparent;
    background-size: cover;
    background-position: center center;
}
/* Remove Gradient */
.post-t6-yes-thumb a.post-thumb:before {
    background: none;
}

Regards, Luis.

For some reason, . http://prntscr.com/eqzl56 . Ad Sidebar 2 is appearing at the top of some posts.

The position of Ad Sidebar 2 is stated as being “Appears in the middle of homepage and archives.”

So why is it appearing at the top of Posts?

Sorry, I see it now, it only happens when previewing a post, we will fix that in a future release. Don’t take it seriously by now, it won’t be shown on the front end. Thanks for pointing out.

Regards, Luis.

I also had it happen outside of preview. It happened on the demo posts. I think it had something to do with post type or the choice of sidebar.
