I think header ad should be for all the page, at the moment it shows on homepage only.

Hi Alhaadi,

The leaderboard ad does display on all pages, except for the Post Layouts 5 & 6.

It should be available for 5,6 as well…

Hi Alhaadi,

If you decide to purchase the theme, I could give you a fix to also allow it on those post layouts.

You do an amazing job of keeping what works, while updating each new theme design to remain relevant.

I currently have your Click Mag theme, and very much like it, but I see a lot of nice improvements with Zox that are leaning me towards switching.

With the added post layout options with Zox, how does the code compare to Click Mag? What I like about your past work is the clean code, but I have used other themes that have many post layouts and the code got very bloated.

Hi Dizenjo,

Thanks for the continued business and kind words!

The code is all written the same way, and the Featured Posts code is all located in one separate file where you can easily tell within the code where the different layouts begin and end.

hi there do you plan to answer the support tickets for the theme? Its been 3 days now

Hi xavk78,

I last answered all open tickets on Friday and don’t typically answer tickets on weekends, which is why you haven’t heard back yet. I will answer tickets today shortly, so I appreciate your patience. Thanks!

Ok no problem, many thanks

Hi, Is this possible to put custom content e.g. text block in tabbed sidebar widget?

Hi j3th,

Unfortunately, that is not a feature of the theme.

Okay, I to figured out how to do it. I’ve got next question, Default Sidebar widget, it should display on all pages/posts etc.? Isn’t it? When I put my widgets in that area nothing shows on frontend

Update: Nevermind, I found file with sidebar conditions.

Hi,

i use the Hompage 5. But all Post goes to the “Lastet” Side on the left. Is it possible to add a filter?

Example: I write a post to Category Widget “Sport”. But i must wait 7 Post later, then comes to the Widget “Sport” why he goes to the “Lastet” Post on Hompage 5.

Hi Schabulsky,

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

Can be used in blogger

Hi amal7ayati,

Unfortunately, this theme is not available for Blogger.

ah ok….thank you

No problem!

Can I translate it into Spanish with a program manually?

Hi Sebastianpra,

Yes, this theme comes with translation files so you can easily translate the theme into any language.

Hi guys. I bought zox-news and I activated infinite scroll but this is not working. I just update to last version (1.3.0) Can you help me?

Hi ocountry,

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

Hi there!

Great work with the theme, however, I have few concerns about the theme’s Speed and SEO. Google PageSpeed score is very poor (15/100). I’m curious how this is gonna be speedy and help in SEO.

Thanks!

Hi ihackme,

Simply put, PageSpeed scores do not affect SEO and you should not put too much weight on them. If they did, major news sites would be ranked pretty poorly since just about every site has a poor rating for both mobile and desktop. 15 is on the low end for mobile, but that’s mainly because of the images that are used, and not because the mobile version actually takes that long to load.

The scores are not necessarily a measure of how fast the page loads, but rather how well the site meets the criteria that Google has laid out. I would recommend testing other major sites in the tester and you would be surprised how poorly most sites score. In fact, Google might be one of the few sites to not test poorly on the mobile test, and even they don’t score higher than 80 on their own test.

So, again, I wouldn’t put to much weight on the score, but I will certainly always look for ways to improve the efficiency of the theme in future updates.

Thanks, @MVPThemes!

Now all I have to do is purchase the theme :)

Sounds great!

Just want to commend you for your great attitude. Thanks for continuing to help me with my little customization issues. And BTW, great theme!

No problem! I’m more than happy to help and thanks for the kind words!

Hi MVP, Is it possible to modify the theme’s CSS so the embedded videos can maintain their original aspect ratio in the articles? I feel there’s an excessive about of black on top and the bottom of the video player, especially on mobile.

Please advise. Thanks!

Hello MVPThemes

Pre-sale question:

1 – Is the home page built with movable blocks? Can I throw them up or down as needed?

2 – Do all blocks of categories on the homepage require photo? Or do I have the option to use some block that does not require a featured photo in the post?

3 – Responsive images at the top and middle of the homepage. Do those spaces accept codes for inserting ad groups or are they just for still images?

Best regards; Alexandre.

Hi Alexandre,

1) The top part is the Featured Posts section and will remain at the top, but you can choose between 5 different layouts for this section.

But below that is a widgetized areas and you can add as few or as many widgets as you want and move them around as you see fit.

2) There are some widgets that are not as reliant on photos as others, and you can display posts via a Tag or Category.

3) They are just for images as they are fulled from the Featured Post of the article.

Hello, First, I want to tell you that you ave really beautifull theme.

I am interested is it imported some plugin for banners, that i can easily set up cpm advertisements. Also is it some demo admin panel log in to see inside.

Regards, Mislav

Hi themisheman,

I have not tested any ad plugins with the theme, so I can’t guarantee that they would be 100% compatible. However, the theme only uses html and javascript in the ad areas, so if the plugin uses shortcodes, it will not be compatible.

I would suggest using Google DFP as a third party ad management system, since they give you all the tools you need to track your own ads, and they give you javascript code that you can then use in the theme.

Also, unfortunately, a demo admin is not available for this theme.

Hi On mobile version there are black on certain thumbs, this applies to the demo too. Can you advise?

Hi ps3home,

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

has this got the youtube playlist player for main page?

Hi sentoki,

Unfortunately, that is not a feature of this theme, but you can display the most recent video posts on the homepage as is shown on the demo.

Hi MVP, I hope all is well.

I purchased both “ZOX” and “The League” and they both repeat the featured articles in the blog section. How can I fix that?

Also, I just checked PHP 7 compatibility on both themes and I got several warnings regarding the widgets:

WARNING | Use of deprecated PHP4 style class constructor is not supported since PHP 7.

“FILE: /nas/content/live/(mydomain)/wp-content/themes/the-league/widgets/widget-ad.php”

“FILE: /nas/content/live/(mydomain)/wp-content/themes/the-league/widgets/widget-home-catlist.php”

“FILE: /nas/content/live/(mydomain)/wp-content/themes/the-league/widgets/widget-facebook.php”

“FILE: /nas/content/live/(mydomain)/wp-content/themes/the-league/widgets/widget-tabber.php”

Please advise. Thanks!

Hi garydelorenz,

With both themes, the Featured Posts should definitely not be repeated in the Blog section, so please submit a ticket at the Support Center and I’ll look into this for you.

And I am aware of the PHP7 compatibility issue and will provide a fix in an update very soon. Thanks!

Hi. Interested in purchasing this theme. Is there an ability to customize the front page showing different sections/areas but placing them how I want? I guess something similar to Visual Composer where I could construct the front page to my liking.

Thanks.

Hi colinwo,

The homepage area below the Featured Posts section is a controlled via widgets. So each section is a widget, and you can add as few or as many of those widgets to that area as you want. The Featured Posts section is easily changed from within the Theme Options as well.

Fantastic, thank you!

You’re very welcome!

Great work!!

Please can you share a complete template like the homepage in the demo.

When I imported the posts and created the homepage, it didnt look exactly like the homepage in the demo.

Thanks

Hi komputa,

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 more than happy to help. Thanks!

Can not translate, even doing all translation in poedit. I can not activate theme

Hi rrhipermidia,

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

Send a ticket to the Support Center, but unfortunately until the next reply. If it was something so basic, I would not need this delay all the time. Once the theme was released full of problems, I’m seriously thinking of going back to Newsppaper … The Theme here requires a lot to be used in a professional way. My rating is a star because it can not be smaller.

Hi rrhipermidia,

I am sorry to hear you are not pleased with the service you have received, but unfortunately, I am not typically available on weekends and you submitted your ticket yesterday, which I already responded to yesterday. I would ask that you please change your rating of the theme, especially since whatever issue you are facing is very likely an easy to fix issue that could be helped by reading through the documentation. But please change your rating and I will answer your ticket as soon as possible. Thanks!

I can not activate plugins licenses ..

The purchase code related to the envato username is not valid.

Hi rrhipermidia,

You are using the incorrect username and purchase code in order to activate the plugin. Please follow the instructions in the “Reviewer Plugin” section of the Click Mag documentation. You will need to use BOTH the username AND purchase code from the documentation and not your own information. If you have any questions/issues after following the instructions, please submit a ticket at the Support Center and I will look into this for you.
