One last pre-sale question! Sorry, I’m trying to plan out what all I’ll need to have ready before implementing. I notice you place the author credit at the top with the bio at the bottom, which is fine. Does this theme, however, have a capability of crediting multiple authors in one article/post, or do I need to use something like the StarBox plugin to achieve this?

Hi koris456,

I don’t believe WordPress allows you to select multiple authors, but even if it did, there woudn’t be a way to display both authors’ information on the page. The only thing I could suggest is to write something at the end of your post saying that another author contributed to the article.

Let me just say I’m a fan of your theme. Really wish you had the Trending Widget in the sidebar too. Any chance that will happen in the near future?

Hi fashion77,

If you are referring to having the Trending Posts section in the Featured 1 layout as a widget, yes I do plan on creating a widget like that. I considered including it in this past update, but wanted to get the fixes out ASAP. So, I’ll try to include it in the next update.

Thanks! I look forward to it

Hi

How can I make the social sharing button sticky on desktop as it showed in the demo?

Thanks

Hi sayeedahsan,

You will need to install and set up the Theia Sticky Sidebar plugin that comes with the theme. Please refer to the Sticky Sidebar section of the documentation for information about how to do that. If you have any specific questions after reading through the documentation, please submit a ticket at the Support Center and I’ll be happy to help.

Also, if you have a second, I would greatly appreciate it if you could rate the theme (preferably with 5 stars, since anything less than that will lower the overall rating ;) ) via the Downloads section of your Themeforest.net profile page. Thanks! http://themeforest.net/downloads

Pre-sale question. The main language used in this project is portuguese, which has many words with special caracthers such as ç, ã,ê, à in many simple words: educação, liderança, emoção etc… As a blog site we have a very long category list to help users to find an article they want. For usability proposes we use a category widget on left hand side of the page to ensure easy navigation on the page. In other theme we faced issues to filter the resulst to show only articles related to the chosen category. The theme author has asked us not to use special caracthers wich is IMPOSSSIBLE for this project. So I am checking with you first that this theme does not have similar issue. Will we get to use category list widget to filter results the blog posts in portuguese language?

Hi cicloceap,

I am not sure what widget you are referring to, and have not tested any such plugins/widgets with the theme, so I can’t guarantee that one would be 100% compatible with the theme.

How does one remove the ZOX text at the top and bottom of the site?

Hi dr24,

You can to that by uploading your own logo from within the Theme Options. Please make sure you have read through the documentation (located in the /documentation folder of the original zip file you downloaded from Themeforest), which will guide you through the setup process and explain the features of the theme. If you have any specific questions after reading through the documentation, please submit a ticket at the Support Center and I’ll be happy to help.

Thanks so much.

You’re very welcome!

Hi, in this theme is there a way to show date and time of the post instead of “1 week ago” for example?

Hi kiddudu,

The date is shown on the post itself, but the style of the theme elsewhere will show the date in that fashion, which is actually very widely used on major websites. So changing this is something you would need to modify on your own.

Quick question. How does this theme determine what’s trending? I’ve tried other themes in the past that claim to offer “trending” widgets/categories/displays and most of them are abysmal to the point I don’t even use them. Will this leave me with “trending” posts that are several months old and never update?

Hi koris456,

This theme has a built in page views function that is used for the Trending Posts sections. You can also set a threshold of days to be used for the posts. So if you set it to 30 days, it will only display posts published in the last 30 days, and rank them according to the most page views. Let me know if this is what you are looking for.

That’s exactly what I wanted to know. Thank you!

You’re very welcome!

Hello Support team,

I went over your theme and found it interesting But I want to use it in Arabic language. Thus, I need to know before I buy it, if you support a copy of this theme in Arabic language to work smoothly?

Regards, Mohammad

After I buy ZOX Theme,and I upload it to my domain at Wordpress, by default, the language that will be displayed is English, right. I want to guarantee/ make sure if there is a tool or a clickable button at theme will translate the theme language into Arabic and save it permanently. So whenever a visitor come over my website with ZOX Theme will read Arabic language from any place and at any time? Navigation and tunneling between the sections, posts, pages and etc. I wanna make sure there is a button can convert it to Arabic and any post will be displayed in Arabic for lifetime?

Hi m_badran,

There is a setting within WordPress to change your language that will change some words in the site into Arabic, but for the rest of the words, you will need to use the translation files that come with the theme. You can edit the files and translate the words yourself, save the files, and then your translations will appear on the site, permanently on all pages.

Hi. Im ready to purchase but will need a bbpress forum. I understand you support bbpress but could you please send me a screenshot on what it looks like please?

Thanks!!!

Hi harryg98,

I do not have a bbPress demo available, but I will work on getting one up soon.

great could you let me know when you do! :)

Hi harryg98,

I will mention it on my Twitter page @mvpthemes, so make sure you follow me there.

1) Is this theme compatible with the following plugins?

a) automatic b) viral press c) scrappes

2) Is there a way to display a popup at the bottom of the page after a user scrolls to the end of a post where you can recommend another post for the user to read?

Thanks

Hi omoge,

1) I have not tested the theme with either of those plugins, so I cannot guarantee that they are compatible.

2) I originally had a feature like that in the theme but removed it. I may reconsider adding it back in for a future update.

Pre-purchase question: Is there an option on the homepage feature posts to prevent duplicates of the same story from showing up?

Hi jenkat,

Yes, posts in the Featured Posts section of the homepage will not be duplicated anywhere else on the homepage.

Hi there, I’m awaiting your response in the support center :)

Hi fashion77,

Thanks for submitting a ticket. While I do typically answer tickets within 24 hours, it may take longer on weekends and holidays. I appreciate your patience and I will answer your ticket in the order it was submitted. Thanks!

Once again, MVPThemes has knocked it out of the park. Take it from a fellow magazine theme developer with a very scrutinizing eye when I say that if you’re on the fence about making this purchase, wonder no more and get your hands on this beauty!

Thanks a ton, IndustrialThemes! I really appreciate the kind words!

I cant change language file ! I applied the documentation but it does not work. !!!

’%s ago’ not replaceable. All the site needs one by one. big disappointment. Unfortunately my rating is low

Hi Renori,

This is a known issue that will be fixed in the next update. It should be released soon, but I would hope you can reconsider your rating in the meantime. Thanks!

Hi Renori,

I apologize for this issue, but I just submitted the update and it should be available very soon. I hope that you will reconsider your rating after you install the new version and your issue is resolved.

Great work, I want to contact with you, do you have skype id?

Hi themeur,

Unfortunately, I am not available via Skype, but you can submit a ticket at the Support Center and I can help you with any questions you may have.

Hi, great theme, congrats!

pre-sale questions: 1.can we add a sidebar on every post layout (all large featured post image are full whithed on your demos)? 2. Is linkedin included (share and profile)? 3.Any option to avoid duplcated content on pages (unique post option or offset)?

Thanks

Hi yanomis,

1) Yes, you can have a right sidebar on all posts. The full-width layout without the sidebar is optional, so you don’t have to use thhat layout if you don’t want to.

2) There is no LinkedIn share button included, but there is a button that can link to LinkedIn in the flyout menu as well as the author profile page.

3) Prominent posts on the homepage will not be duplicated. For example, the Featured Posts will not be duplicated on the rest of the homepage. The same goes for prominent posts in the widgets on the homepage.

The Social Sharing Buttons are not showing on our posts…

Hi IamCurtis,

Envato now requires authors to include sharing buttons in a separate plugin, but it is included with the theme. Please refer to the Installation/Homepage Setup section of your documentation for information about this. If you have any questions after that, please submit a ticket at the Support Center and I’ll be happy to help.

I have. Everything is installed and filled in. But no icons show up on the left side of the post.

Hi IamCurtis,

As I mentioned above, if you still have any issues, Please submit a ticket at the Support Center and I’ll look into it for you. Thanks!

Hi

I have one question: Is a page builder used in this theme?

Hi elohimguy,

No page builder is included, but you don’t need one in order to build your site like the demo.

My featured headline on front page doesn’t seem to be in CAPS, like in your demo. How come?

And my titles doesn’t seem to be as bold as yours. Not sure why…

And what font do you use for title s on your demo?

Hi IamCurtis,

Please submit a ticket at the Support Center and I’ll be happy to help.

Hi, a presale question here.

In the details of the theme you mention there is an option for full-width post (without sidebar). From the demo of post types, I have only seen post that have full width image, but the text is centered in the middle of the page.

Is it possible to have any post type full width (disable sidebar) or a full-width body that is wider than body content shown in post demo?

To make it simple to understand I want the width of the full width page’s text area as shown here http://www.mvpthemes.com/zoxnews/sample-page/

in a post template that has full width image like here http://www.mvpthemes.com/zoxnews/who-are-the-early-favorites-to-win-the-nfl-rushing-title/

this is because my previous theme i use an at least 1050px width body box.

Hi ichobi,

I just realized it’s not that difficult and I could actually give you some code to remove the max-width setting on the full-width post layouts.

Hey MVP, I just bought the theme, can i request this code of yours here or we move this to support ticket? Thanks

Hi ichobi,

Thanks for the purchase! Please submit a ticket at the Support Center and I’ll be happy to help.
