Hi,i buy and i love your Theme.

Please more “Dark Widget” Options not only for “Videos and Photos” :-)

Hi Schabulsky,

Thanks so much for the purchase!

I definitely plan on adding more widgets and will consider more dark ones. I’m so glad you like it and would appreciate it if you could give it a 5-star rating, which would help me out a ton. Thanks again!

Can you help us to support RTL in this theme? We need to use it in our Arabia website :)

Hi ezzeldean,

I will try to have a RTL preview available later today, and yes, the theme does support bbPress.

Item from purchased from @estihdaf account. Happy Day! :)

Hi ezzeldean,

Great to hear! If you have any questions or issues, please submit a ticket at the Support Center and I’ll be happy to help.

hi do you support bbpress?

Hi harryg98,

Yes, this theme is bbPress compatible.

Great job. Unfortunately, like other theme creators, you probably are not publishing yourself. From here you can not know what we need. I have written about it many times, I will write and you will use it in your favor and I will have a good reason to change the look of my page. Eg photo gallery. – what a waste of money. The photo gallery should open up in a separate popup which every time it refreshes and I next to the picture can make some ads. Think about it now – 60 good pictures in the gallery and zero profit … And the photographer has to pay. See that theia has the ability to refresh the page while pagination. Not without a reason. They left this option by chance. Another issue is the button under CONTINUE READING. 50% as no more readers are so lazy that they will not click … because they have to click. If the article was loaded immediately – it would have been better. A good idea would be to implement embedding of banners within the article text. In the case of many themes that I have seen here I have a lot of comments and none is perfect. Your is as close as possible – but think like publishers;) Good luck.

Listen. SocialGallery eg in their lightbox allows you to place an ad. This is not the best solution, but it shows the right path. This should be more flexible. Naturally adding a watermark will do something that most people do not think …

When it comes to loading another article, you have it in your flexmag. One article loads another. Statistics go up, advertisers are willing to work further. It’s not as important as the previous solution.

As for the ads injected into the article, AdRotate Pro is the benchmark.

There is not much information in the trade portal – woo commerce does not bother anyone and may help, but it is better to have each comment made a new thread on bbPress (native support for bbPress Topics for Posts).

This allows people to automatically create forums.

The above issues make me, finally, once, I would see a theme that is tailored to the needs of publishers.

I’ll tell you what I’m using, maybe give you some tips for the future.

I personally and I think that many people who run an information service use eg business directory (like sabai directory), listings (AWPCP) or very important for me :calendar (calendarizeit) – these are basic additions for local + nationwide news.

All that I wrote, you can really work around using external plugins and plugins. But the native gallery is something like blocking me. Not so much gallery as the lightbox. It’s a detail and believe me – if you added it, I’d be your customer because it’s been a couple of years since I changed the theme and time to change. What you wrote about AMP or FB above to someone shows me that you are not going for fashion just thinking about what you do and for whom. It’s really more than others and that’s why they see the chance;). Well done.

Hi negoz,

Thanks for all the info and I will take it into consideration moving forward with possible future updates.

CONGRATULATION NICE THEMES, I LIKE IT

I have some questions for you before i buy this themes, can i share my article to facebook or other social media to automatically, or i must add other plugins for this.

Is this theme highly compatible with google adsense and can change me to monotize my website?

thank you

Hi putrasumedi,

The theme comes with its own custom social sharing buttons plugin that you will need to install. The buttons were built into the theme, but Envato now requires authors to include the buttons separately as a plugin.

The theme is fully compatible with Google Adsnse.

well, thank you for your replied, i like so much your themes. thank you

You’re very welcome!

Is it possible to just type my web name/logo? Or should I upload a photo?

Hi dlndolgion,

You will need to upload a graphic as your logo.

GLWS for ZoxNews

Thanks, shmai!

Thanks, AdelleSpring!

Awesome theme. Please consider adding author’s avatars on frontpage ;) GLWS

Hi wbrenner,

Thanks! And I initially included the authors with avatars on the homepage, but removed them because it looked a little too cluttered design-wise.

RTL supported?

Hi themeroute,

That is not a feature of the theme, but it is something I plan to look into for a future update.

Please add it.

Hi themeroute,

Thanks for the suggestion. I will look into it for possibly the first update.

Congratulations! Once again, good job!

I like ‘Continue reading’ function, but ‘Auto Load Post’ increases a lot the page views. That’s why I use Flex Mag theme. Pitchfork, Espn, Qz, TheNextWeb, The Intercept… All of this have the autoload post.

But, is it possible to implement ‘Auto Load Post’ function? I know autoload changes the code, but I think it’s a good feature for news/mag theme.

Anyway, thank you for your work and good luck!

Hi iamaudience,

The auto load function requires quite a bit of resources and also has javascript conflicts, which is why I have not included it in any other theme since Flex Mag. I think that the “Teaser” posts feature is a nice compromise given that it serves the same purpose without all of the negatives. Plus, it will help increase unique page views whereas the auto load posts feature did not actually count as a new page view.

Infinite Scroll has releases v3. I don’t know, but I think Flex Mag uses v2. Maybe this new version is better and it hasn’t js conflicts: https://infinite-scroll.com

I really think this new (amazing!) theme with an auto load function would be much better (also in sales!).

Hi iamaudience,

The Auto Load Posts function is separate from the Infinite Scroll function and does not use Infinite Scroll. I will look into replacing the Infinite Scroll function with the latest version, but that has nothing to do with the Auto Load Posts.

Very Nice Theme, Good luck with the sales..

Thanks, userthemes01!

Another great looking theme, any chance there’s a boxed version layout for theme? Love your designs, but one thing I dislike is how much white there is in the backgrounds. Would love to have some borders, and options for different colors.

Hi GPunch,

It won’t look exactly like it does in your image, but on the homepage of the demo, everything you see from the “Entertainment” section to “Tech” section are widgets that come with the theme. You can add as many or as few widgets as you’d like.

Yes, you can use either header layout and you have complete control over the colors of the background and text color of the nav.

Reducing the size of the images is something you would need to do on your own.

Setting a Wallpaper Ad image will make your site look the way it does here: http://www.mvpthemes.com/zoxnews/wallpaper-ad/

Except there will be no background image, but you will be able to set the background color to your site.

Ok sounds great, I’m fine changing the image size on my own. But can you give me the CSS code to be able to do that? Once I purchase the theme of course. You’ve previously provided me with a CSS code with your Click Mag theme when I wanted to change something. As for the Wallpaper ad, will it make the posts appear as they do with your League theme? Meaning it’s bordered.

I feel pretty confident buying your theme, think I’ll get it later tonight. Thanks for answering all of my questions. Good luck on future sales!

Hi GPunch,

Unfortunately, changing the size of the images isn’t a simple fix, so you would need to come up with and change the code on your own. As for the boxed version/wallpaper ad, it will appear the same as the homepage. I’m not sure what border you are referring to, but the background of the site will show on the sides just like the homepage with the content area having a white background, the same as both themes.

Great work. GLWS!

Presales queries:

[1] Is it possible to add Google Adsense Ads below the post?

[2] Can I add native ads (Taboola or Outbrain) below the post?

[3] Is it possible to display all sharing buttons in the mobile by default? Or may be implement the ClickMag style sharing buttons?

[4] Can I use FB comments using a plugin? If yes, will native and FB comments co exist? Or can I just use the FB comment instead of Native and if yes, will the comment system behave as it is shown (click on Click to comment’ and then the FB coment box will be revealed)?

[5] Can you share the demo saple post which has pagination?

[6] Can I add the Newsletter sign up form (using Mailpoet plugin) below the post and in the side bar?

Regards

Hi buy_23,

Thanks for the interest!

1) Yes, you can add any HTML or Javascript code in that section. In the demo, you will see an ad there now.

2) Yes, same as #1

3) I’m not sure what you mean by this. The sharing buttons on mobile should be visible at the bottom of the site while scrolling. Are you saying you cannot see them in the demo?

4) Yes, you can use Facebook Comments plugin, and hiding the default comment system will depend on what plugin you are using, but I believe most of them replace the default with the FB comments.

5) The Theia Post Slider replaces the native pagination on posts, and can be seen here: http://www.mvpthemes.com/zoxnews/the-9-worst-mistakes-you-can-ever-make-at-work/

6) This is not a feature of the theme, but it is something I may add in a future update.

Congratulations. Excellent theme. Good luck with the sales :)

Thanks, CizThemes!

Difference between this and Click Mag ?

Hi DanielGomez41,

There are major design differences, including the addition of a widgetized area on the homepage with 4 different widgets you can use in that section. There is also a “Teaser Posts” feature in this theme that is not in Click Mag, as well as the parallax Leaderboard Ad feature. There are a few other functional differences including additions to the Theme Options, but mostly differences in design.

Any plans on having social site profile shares to be displayed in posts and home page ?

Hi DanielGomez41,

Are you asking if the social sharing buttons will be available on the homepage like in Click Mag? If so, there are no plans to include that in this theme.

Great looking theme. All the best.

Thanks, FranklinM2!

Amazing Work, Good Luck With Sale :grin:

But I’m not sure why on earth you guys keep on neglecting google AMP and Facebook Instant Articles.

These 2 features are driving insane traffics to websites and your theme doesn’t support that, I asked you the similar question on your previous theme and you said “we will think about that”, sounds like you don’t care about what’s going on in present tech world and how it’s effecting the publishers.

Thanks

Hi Trendsin,

This has not been included in any of my themes for a few reasons, one being that if this is something you want to add, there are plugins that can do that for you. The second is that there are plenty negatives to both features and not even every major news site utilizes both features, likely for the same reason. It is also not a given that there is any direct benefit to either feature as long as your site already loads quickly on mobile devices, which each of my themes do. Here is a list of some reasons why I have not made the jump to making sure thsee features are included in any of my themes: https://www.advancedwebranking.com/blog/consider-adopting-google-amp-for-your-website/

With that said, it is still something I will cosine as new Information comes out, but right now, there is no compelling reason to do so other than it being a popular thing to do. But functionally, it may actually do more harm than good to your site, especially if you are trying to monetize your posts.

Hello,

Plugins integration for AMP doesn’t work out of the box and it doesn’t look good if it’s not a part of the theme.

I’m not sure what’s your source of info, but AMP websites are getting as much as 30% more traffic from google, I can tell you from my exp and big publishers don’t need AMP because they are authority in their business so you’re not getting the difference between two.

Thanks

Hi Trendsin,

I understand the potential increase in traffic, but there are still also potential negatives to the service as well, as I have outlined. As I mentioned, this is absolutely something I plan to keep an eye on and possibly include in a future update, but as of right now, there are no clear cut advantages to including the service as long as your mobile delivery is fast and efficient, as this theme is.

Congratulations, excellent theme. Good luck for more sales :)

Thanks, janxcode_team!
