Hey MVPThemes,

I have been using Zox magazine theme for a while now and love it!

But I am building another site now and am looking for a theme that looks and functions exactly like VICE News’ website. I left a link below for you to check it out… https://www.vice.com/en_ca

Is there any chance that in the near future you could build something like that? I would pay $100+ for a theme like that!

Hi PRMTD,

I was thinking about adding a Featured Posts area like that, and have one nearly exactly like that included in my next update for my other theme The League. But there is a similar layout to that, but with a darker background in Zox News as shown here: http://www.mvpthemes.com/zoxnews/featured-4/

As for the main sections, Zox News widgets will allow you to mimic each of the different sections below the Featured Posts area. But I’m not sure how I could include a “channel switcher” in the theme since most sites don’t really have channels, and any items you could include in that menu, you could just include the flyout menu on the left. But Zox News should allow you to have a very similar layout to Vice, if not better looking, in my opinion.

But it’s good to hear that you are enjoying the theme. 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

“I was thinking about adding a Featured Posts area like that”

Definitely, add it to ZOX!!! I would love to see it….

I’ll also go and rate 5 stars; I love all your products!

I hope to see that featured posts area in the next update <3

Thanks so much, PRMTD! I truly appreciate that!

hi, social media post Sticky problem http://sehaber.com

Hi semrakoylu,

Please submit a ticket at the Support Center and I’ll look into this for you.

Is there an authors list template for this theme?

also, if I am currently using clickmag, will I have to redo things like video’s already embedded in articles as the featured image? Talking about the Video/Audio embed section. Does it roll over to this theme as well?

Hi john_wilbanks,

The video posts will automatically be rolled over just fine, and here is the link to the authors template: http://www.mvpthemes.com/zoxnews/meet-the-team/

Got a pre sale question

i must confess, the theme is beautiful and awesome

but one thing is bothering me,

in the demo i saw that, the homepage is constructed using widgets,

i want to know whether the user of the theme will be provided with a drag and drop frontpage builder present in other themes like JS composer.

or the theme will automatically build the homepage for you by selecting many categories, i really need to know because i would like to build the homepage myself like that of androidauthority.com

waiting for your reply.

Hi cyberwaver,

I’m not sure what difference it makes how the homepage is built, whether it’s with widgets or by some other means as long as it displays the posts and information you want it to display. If the theme used another way to deliver the content is displays on the demo, it would not be any different than if it were displayed via widgets. Widgets also allow you to display as many or as few specific widgets on the homepage as you want, so the customization is there to help deliver the homepage you want.

Can you improve the theme, and make all post pics content and feature image 100% width for the next update? So we don’t have to resize every post picture manually.

Hi irlandacenter,

I am not exactly sure what you mean by this, but if you are asking if the theme will automatically stretch images to fit the width of the image container, that is not something I would recommend since it would distort the image and make it pixelated. Instead, if the image does not fit the container, it will simply be centered. However, I would recommend that you use the minimum recommended Featured Image width of 1000×600, so you will not run into this issue.

But if you would like to stretch the images to fit the container, please submit a ticket at the Support Center and I can give you some code to do this for you.

I really like the layout and you do amazing work but my question is how’s this different then Flex mag

Hi shahasen,

The primary difference between the themes is, as you mentioned, the layout and overall design of the theme. Zox News also comes with quite a few new features, including the Theia Post Slider and Reviewer plugins, a more lightweight “Teaser Posts” feature that replaces the auto load posts feature in Flex Mag, more flexibility and custom options with Theme Options and widgets, an optional Parallax leaderboard ad, better menu/logo flexibility, improved WooCommerce design/functionality, RTL compatibility (although I do plan to include that in Flex Mag very soon), and a few other improvements on Flex Mag.

Hello! Great theme! Just a few pre-sale question: 1. Do you have post views counter in theme? I can’t see it on demo? Is it planned in the future? 2. Can I build custom home page with only “Latest Posts” feature? 3. Can I disable auto load next post function?

Hi EgorRevenga,

1) The theme does have a post views function, but it is only used for the Trending Posts function and not actually displayed anywhere.

2) Yes, you can easily display only the Latest Posts as your homepage. The theme comes with a Latest News page template and you can easily just set that as your homepage.

3) It is not a true “auto load posts” function since it doesn’t use any ajax of javascript to display those posts, but yes, you can easily disable the “Teaser” posts from within the Theme Options.

Thanks a lot for your answer! 1. Do you plan to create visible counter on every page in the future? 2. Child theme supported too, am I right?

Hi EgorRevenga,

1) There are no immediate plans for that right now, but this is something I may consider in the future.

2) Yes, this theme comes with a Child Theme.

hello. may i know the related post based on tag or category? i prefer if u used the category tag options.

Hi ShaileshMM,

The related posts use Tags, but the “Teaser” posts below the article are displayed by the most recent posts within the same category as the current post.

Hi, I love this theme. One question I have though is: How do I stop the Teaser post from repeating the original post the user came to? As I scroll down to maybe 4 or so posts I see a repeat in the teaser of the same post and I would like the post I came to not to show up again in the teaser section. Is this possible?

Hi ThreadsNLaces,

That actually shouldn’t happen, so please submit a ticket at the Support Center and I’ll look into this for you.

Hi there, You’re done a great job with this theme but here is my wishlist for the next update (hopefully) or near future:

1. Ability to add a widget (aside from an ad) inside a Homepage Widget like what you did with Featured Posts 1 and 5 http://i.imgur.com/x6MATtv.png.

2. Add a couple more Homepage and Sidebar widgets to choose from.

Thanks!

Hi fashion77,

Unfortunately, I am not available for custom work at the moment.

Hi there, I did not mean you but want to know if this is something that’s customizable. I have someone to go to but want to know if that’s something I can customize :)

Hi fashion77,

There is not an option built into the theme that will allow for this. But anything is customizable if you are familiar with the right code, so if you have someone like that, they should be able to do literally anything you want.

Hi friend. Quick question – I’ve tried testing with different ‘Default Post Templates’, but all old posts have the same template, and it never changes no matter what I pick in the Zox News Options. Help?

Also, testing the theme on a testing site. Looks great on desktop but doesn’t work on phone. The menu doesn’t work, the search button doesn’t work and the logo at the bottom doesn’t work. But no such issues on desktop.

EDIT: Ignore. Was clashing with Menufication plugin.

Note for users, if you have the Menufication plugin. Delete it.

Any chances we have Styles CSS for Contact forms and Submit buttons?

Thanks

Hi irlandacenter,

Please submit a ticket at the Support Center and I’ll look into this for you.

Can you please help me with these two small tweaks.

2. How to turn off sticky feature on mobile/tablet for top menu.

Thanks

FINALLY someone gets a news theme RIGHT!!! FINALLY!!!

I’m so glad to hear you say that, JustinDiego!

Fantastic theme! Just purchased and playing around.

For some reason, whichever homepage featured layout I choose, the homepage still locks exactly the same. What am I doing wrong? (did change the tag so it isn’t that).

My Flyout menu and search bar aren’t working

Hi 4shoMagazine,

If you have any other questions/issues, please include them in your existing ticket or feel free to create a new one. Thanks!

Hello. You have a template like the theme layout for amp?

Hi brunoheim,

I am not sure what you are asking, but please submit a ticket at the Support Center and I’ll look into this for you.

How do I set up my home page like the demo? I can’t seem to get the top big photos to show nor the side bar that says “Latest, Videos, Galleries”

Hi 4shoMagazine,

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.

Hi 4shoMagazine,

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!
