Hello, im from Turkey and i have some questions for you :) I don’t know which font you are using on demo pages so is that font compatible with our alphabet like Ş, İ , Ç

Hi IRewendesTR,

I am not sure if that specific font is compatible, but you can use any of over 800 Google Fonts with the theme, and I believe most are compatible with various different subsets.

Is this theme easy to install and setup (without) demo content, and easily make the homepage the “Featured 5” layout?

I’d like to buy and use this theme, but always get overwhelmed when I try to install new themes with demo content… and then go through and remove all the demo content.

Hi chrisluck,

You certainly don’t need demo content to set the theme up like the demo. The documentation will guide you through the steps to do that, and if you have any questions after that, I am always available at the Support Center if you have any other questions.

Thank you!

You’re very welcome!

Is compatible with Disqus? How can I add it to get the best yield?

Hi gabrielmale,

Yes, it actually has a built-in Disqus feature.

I’m really digging the new theme, I pretty much purchase everything you guys make. I was curious about one thing which is very small lol what made you get rid of the Audio/Music format ? not a huge thing but it def helped when separating the post on the site.

Hi djeternity,

Thanks so much for the continued business!

Only because I never created a separate icon for it, so setting it to Audio in past themes never actually did anything with the theme.

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

Hey! I just bought the theme, and it’s looking great so far! Very clean and precise!

1. Twitter Circle Icon below Author Bio on Author Archive links incorrectly to how WordPress stores Twitter USERNAMES (not URL’s as your theme expects). Please have your theme prefix “https://twitter.com/” and then add USERNAME to the end as WordPress asks for Twitter Usernames in User Profile, not actual link.

2. Would like/request to see proper image sizes (cropped images) throughout theme (Ex: Trending shows a 400×240 image and css sets max height to 145px, at 1920×1280). Also haven’t centered the unsized images too (ex: css object-fit: cover; ), so it shows the top half of images only so far.

3. It would seem that images uploaded via your Theme Options panel become orphaned in the media library (No Post ID/Record other than URL that is created).

Hi chippymedia,

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

UHMazing looking theme and demo$ MVPThemes! curious, any chance I could see a few screenshots of back of homepages/how build options look pls? And are parallax header images possible on mobile view? and if purchase any way an image can be added to background of mobile slide out menu? THNKS for letting me know prepurchase n BEST to $ales!

Hi sterlingwilliam,

Unfortunately, I don’t have any other screenshots other than the ones in on the main theme page here on Themeforest. The theme uses widgets to set up the homepage as well as the settings in the Theme Options.

The parallax leaderboard ad feature is also available on mobile, as you can see in the demo.

I’m not exactly sure what you mean by having an image in the mobile flyout menu, but if you are looking to replace the black background with an image, that is something you would need to modify on your own. But, you can change the background color of the flyout menu from within the Theme Options.

Ahhh ok great, thnks MVPThemes, yes that top fixed parallax is a nice touch to have indeed on mobile view (one setting runs continuous header image across the site, it’s not changeable per page rt?) Will def add to top of list for next mag style client site!

Hi sterlingwilliam,

The leaderboard will display the same code on all pages.

I bought the theme after see a lot of others and this one show perfect to me, I paid for Envato studio install and the installed theme is very simple missing plugins, advertising banners, different pages and a lot of more. So the theme installed is completely basic and the installers team say for custom work is extra and all I want is the template as show in the description and preview.

Hi akadamkings,

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!

I just don’t understand I have to read and see the guide for setup if I paid the Envato for to install with “they professionals installers”. But I didn’t save time and nothing I just paid 50 dollars for change my logo on header.

Hi akadamkings,

If you paid Envato to set up the theme and they did not do it, that is something you will have to take up with them since I have nothing to do with that. But if you would like me help, I can certainly help you if you submit a ticket at the Support Center.

236/5000 Hello I’m from Mexico and I have 2 questions, the first is to know if the banner or letterhead above can be made in carousel to announce to different sponsors, and the second is if the administration panel has language in Spanish.

Hi mikkeztar,

The theme does not have a feature where you can rotate ads, but you can use a third party service like Google DFP, which can rotate through different ads when the page is loaded.

And yes, you can easily translate the Admin panel with the translation files that come with the theme.

My client has this template and under the article template 1 the articles repeat almost endlessly, seems there is a bug under this template version, have you fixed this?

Hi Antaros,

It is not showing that you have purchased the theme. Please login with the username you purchased the theme with and post a comment here so I can confirm your purchase. Thanks!

Hi, just bought this theme & all i see is completely blank page after installation. Is this because i am using https? When i revert back to my old theme there is no issue. I have also imported the XML sample data as advised in the documentation.

Hi, it seemed to be a problem with my https setup blocking parts of the theme. I deleted the site & re-installed a fresh wordpress & it worked. Just wondering how i can get the drop down mega-menu as show in the demo?

for example, i create a category called videos & add all of my video posts into said category (all have featured images & embeds). Yet the main menu doesn’t show the preview images. Tried everything i can think of to try & replicate the demo drop down menu with the preview images. What am i doing wrong?

Hi toddlegend,

As mentioned previously, please submit a ticket at the Support Center and I’ll look into this for you. Thanks!

Hi there,

I can not update ’’ Theia Post Slider’’, when i click on update I get ** Update Failed: The package could not be installed. PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT (-10) : Unable to find End of Central Dir Record signature * error

Could you please help me

Hi turkeytourismcenter,

This is because you have entered the wrong Purchase Code for the plugin. Please submit a ticket at the Support Center and I’ll look into this for you.

Hi there, can the theme work with php7? many thanks

Hi xavk78,

I am in the process of testing the theme with PHP7, but I believe others have noticed some issues with it. I will release an update soon when it is fully PHP7 compatible.

Hi, MVP,

This is unrelated to Zox. I am looking for a simple yet well-organized portfolio theme for my collection of blogs and eCommerce store. Do you have any recommendations?

Thanks

Hi AutoKwame,

Unfortunately, I am not familiar with portfolio themes, so I wouldn’t be able to recommend any.

Is it possible to change the way trending chooses what to display from “views count” to a specific category? For example, the main focus of my website is fashion model galleries, and I’d like the most popular galleries to show up under “trending” (or just all model galleries, no matter how popular they are), instead of random articles. I’m trying to figure out a way to make more of the galleries show up on the main page, so the website actually looks like a website about women, and less about articles.

Hi namuwilliams,

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

Saucy, I will. Thanks!

No problem!

Hello,

If i order this theme will i be able to customized the code to suite my need?

Hi menstar,

You can certainly edit any code you want within the theme. The theme also comes with a Child Theme to allow you to make changes to the theme files without losing them after an update.

how does the page-building works? With Visual Composer? or other plugin ? My website is now based on visual composer what happens with those pages when transformed to this template ?

are there screenshots of the ADMIN? New post. New page etc ?

Hi jager779,

The homepage is set up via the Theme Options and with widgets. I have not tested Visual Composer with the theme, so I can’t guarantee that it is 100% compatible, though I am not aware of any conflicts.

The only screenshot I have of the backend is of the Theme Options, which you can see by clicking on the “Screenshots” button on the main theme page here on Themeforest.

Thank you for an excellent theme. Totally in love! To answer albandesign question from a few days ago, the functionality he/she is asking for is not available in the standard wordpress theme either. One needs a plugin. I use Ultimate Membership Pro, which offers that kind of restrictions. Its found at: https://codecanyon.net/item/ultimate-membership-pro-wordpress-plugin/12159253?s_rank=1

hi, how do i customise the home page – the top part is not like your demo home page – i cannot add anything on there.

Hi hotadsqueenstown,

Hi, Your theme UI is really very nice. There is a Bug – I noticed the content overlapping issue on mobile when you click to read a post https://gyazo.com/5bde5b6f440457a3dde54764b0bbafc2 and the theme facilitates Front-end Post submissions by an anonymous user.

Hi msaa,

Thanks for the heads up. That was related to a fix I just made a few days ago that ended up causing that this issue. Everything should all be fine now. Clear your cache and let me know if you still see it. Thanks!

And to answer your second question, the theme does not have a front-end submission feature.

Hi neomail,

Yes, I will always look to improve PageSpeed scores, but I always warn against putting too much stock in those scores. Google itself make recommendations for its own mobile site, and nearly all major news sites score very poorly on both mobile and desktop, but especially mobile, where scores are rarely higher than 50. I actually saw a major news site one time with a zero mobile score.
