Dear Shockmag Theme Author,
Item Purchase Code: f058f2cf-a939-44eb-a4a7-f748f5757022
We need your support to setup theme like demo,we are facing big issue everytime site goes down when we add megamenu class “st-mega-taxonomy-post-v-1” The site completely goes down only blank page is showing. Please review: http://2018.katohika.gr/Please help us to setup News demo.
Thanks
Well, first of all you should be checking wordpress error log and your server’s log to have an idea of what’s causing the problem. With only this information I would say that the server resources are not high enough.. but again, the logs might answer this.
Another way of testing is to replicate the server on a VM locally if you don’t want to mess with the live site.
Regards, Luis.
Dear ShocMag Theme Author,
Here is the error log file: https://pastebin.com/6SvRqFFS
Please, setup the demo content we need or share with us .sql so we can import and replace the url with our permalinks.
Thanks
Please send me an email (support@strictthemes.com) with your wordpress login credentials and I’ll help you setup the demo site.
Regards, Luis.
Hi.
In the main page of your theme you claim that:
“Post views that work with caching plugins
By activating option un the the panel, post views will be updated even when the pages is cached”.
I can’t find that option…
You just need to activate this box https://cl.ly/3a102W2J3X0k
What about cloudflare cache everything?
Well cloudflare uses it’s own caching system, it’s out of our control and we can not predict how they will change it as time goes by but the post views are refreshed after the DOM is ready via ajax call so it should work just fine.
Hello! How do I hide the author in certain posts? Thank you!
Hi.. there is no option to do that through the admin area. You would need to make some css to specify on which posts the author should be hidden. You can use the body class to identify the post id.
For example this code will only affect to the post with an id of 478:
.postid-478 .single-author-info { display: none; }
Regards, Luis.
Hi, is there a way to add the right sidebar like in your demo?
Hi, can you please be more specific? what sidebar are you talking about? there are different sidebars across the site.
Regards, Luis.
Hi, I am struggling to find out why my primary menu is showing when it is not selected. Also is it possible to add an image across the full header like you have on your blog demo? Thanks.
I have solved the image matter. However, there are more things I am frustrated about: 1/ how to only allow for top menu (secondary in your terms)? – the primary one keeps showing up although I checked it off in menu setting 2/ how to show full site title on mobile? – the header doesn’t stretch to show to whole title 3/ how to get rid of the toggle on mobile that only shows a blank tab? – I cannot work out what this is for, or how to use it properly 4/ how to make mega menu work on mobile ? – it simply doesn’t work, not even on your blog demo Thanks
I got my hands dirty and got it all working for myself. Cheers
Glad you sorted it out. Let me clarify these points, just in case: 1. Set an empty menu for the primary location but this will cause usability problems. 2. It should be fully shown, provide a url if you want me to check it. 3. That toggle is for showing/hiding the primary menu, that’s why is empty and also what I was talking about in #1. 4. For me is working just fine http://j.mp/2jFlvXq , with the primary menu set of course.
Please let me know if you need further assistance.
Regards, Luis.
Hello! I just purchased the Shockmag Wordpress theme and when I tried to upload the .zip file, WP rejected it saying “The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet”. When I look through the file folders, I can see that there clearly is a stylesheet. Any suggestions? Thanks! Best, Todd
Hi Todd, did you check this help article? https://help.market.envato.com/hc/en-us/articles/202821510
This is a very common error.
Regards, Luis.
I watched the preview of your theme.
Do you know what would be absolutely fantastic? When your beutiful slider would Switch the category and with it the whole page Content.
like “switching to Football” and only Show Football News on the entire page
Hi, that would probably increase a lot the load time because we would need to preload all latest news (and their thumbnails) for all the categories in the slider but it is definitely possible to achieve.

Hi. The rectangle under the logo, black, can I change it? Because my logo is dark and it is not going to look good. Thank you!
Hi, sure you can, with a very easy CSS code you can modify the color like this https://cl.ly/1K2N1E402z0U but be aware that you may need to change the font color for the menu and buttons depending on what you choose.
Regards, Luis.

All of a sudden links I add to articles appear to have strike through. Why is this, and how can I fix it?
URL sample: http://pittalkasia.com/david-chen-becomes-first-driver-take-audi-r8-lms-cup-race-win/
Thanks
Hi, check the links because this one for example https://cl.ly/251u3l1m1H3F is pointing to
http://pittalkasia.com/audi-r8-lms-cup-%E2%80%A6lery-rounds-9-10is that correct? because it returns a 404.

I got these error after updating my Wordpress:

Hi, are you using jetpack? other users are experiencing this issue when updating to 5.1 but there is an easy fix, please let me know.

Hi.
I have over 100k rows in wp_options table because of:
transient_timeout_st_related_posts
transient_st_related_posts
transient_timeout_st_most_viewed_posts
transient_st_most_viewed_posts
transient_st*
making the website very very slow.
MySQL slow query reported that.
Most of them are expired transients.
What can I do about this?
Thank you
Hi, often when transients get expired, they stay in the database. If you want to clean up your wp_options table, then you can use this plugin called Delete Expired Transients.
Once you install and activate the plugin, it will add a new menu item under Tools » Delete Transients. On that page, it will show you the expired transients and the total number of transients. You can easily bulk delete expired transients from this screen.
Regards, Luis.
Hi. Thanks for your response.
That’s not the case though.
I don’t need a plugin. I run a mysql query to delete all related transients generated by your theme.
After 12 hours there are 30k rows regenerated in options table and the website is very very slow.
I have set cache to off in theme’s options but I can see that
transient_timeout_st_related_posts
transient_st_related_posts
transient_timeout_st_most_viewed_posts
transient_st_most_viewed_posts
transient_st*
are regenerating in options table immediately.
A big site with a lot of visitors and over 25k of articles working a lot better without transients.
How can I disable it?
Thank you
Any help on how to disable the cache? Making my website very slow.
Hi, there’s no “on/off” button for the use of transients. we are looking into it because the transient setting is mainly driven by the theme in this case and will need some heavy modifications. I’ll keep you updated with this when we head to a better solution. It was in our roadmap tho..
Regards, Luis.
Hi Luis, thank you for your answer. Is it in someway possible to replace the background image in the theme with a movie from let’s say Youtube in the CSS code? thanx!
Hi, there is no easy way to do that. It is possible though but will need some custom modifications, not only a few css lines.
Regards, Luis.
Hi Nat, I have a couple of questions, hope you can help me out.
1 – I want to change the color and the opacity of the gradient behind the featured image in the wrapper on the mainpage (over the large category image) 2- How can I can I change the text of “YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE”. “2/3 MONTHS AGO etc” “MOST VIEWED” these aren’t translated in my dutch wordpress. Please help me out. 3 – Do you have a sheet of CSS styles that I can add to the custom CSS to change all the colors manually within the theme? Now it’s controlled by just 2 colors primary and secondary..hope so..
Thanx.
Hi,
1. Here you have the css rules to modify it as you like. Just paste it in “Theme Panel->Style->Custom” and play with the values.
/** Big Background Image **/
#header.header-bg:before
{
background: linear-gradient( to bottom, rgba(237,37,137,0.25) 0%, rgba(17,17,17,1) 100% ); /* This will turn it purpleish */
}
/** Frist Post Image **/
.post-sticky-a-yes-thumb a > div:before
{
background: linear-gradient( to bottom, rgba(237,37,137,0.25) 0%, rgba(17,17,17,0.8) 100% );
}
/** Second Post **/
.post-sticky-b-img
{
box-shadow: 0 0 0 150px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) inset;
}
2. You have to create a language file based on default(.po .mo) found on “assets/lang” and translate the missing strings with something like PoEdit the save your new language files on the same folder.
3. There is not such list. Almost everything is base on those two colors. If you need to change a specific color you will have to right click the element and “inspect” then override the class via Theme Panel.
