Hello, Can we use on this theme so many categories we need in home page?

Hi EbHelloWorld,

If you are referring to the sections below the Featured Posts area where you see the different categories/tags, those are widgets where you can insert as many of those as you want.

No problem!

will the upgrade include new featured layouts?

Hi dpress,

Yes, there will be one new Featured Posts layout for the homepage and at least one new Featured Posts layout for the category pages.

Hi dpress,

I just wanted to let you know that the theme has been updated with a new Featured Posts layout.

Hello again. I have a question: can I add a specific sidebar for each category? I would like to divide them by categories, as a way of being able to market ads to different segments.

Thank you.

Hi derickwilli,

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

Hi, how do I show the social sharing icons under the picture in articles. It’s not visible on my site.

Hi delphilips,

Please submit a ticket at the Support Center and I’ll be happy to help you with this. Thanks!

Hi! Love your theme.

I have a few questions before purchase I hope you could assist with:

1. Can I see a login system on your theme? Most themes on ThemeForest have this by default. Do you plan on adding it anytime soon?

2. Is it possible to use the different featured home layout on pages? Let’s say I wanted to use featured 1 for home and Featured layout 5 for Sports page.

3. Would you consider adding Snax -Viral plugin https://codecanyon.net/item/snax-viral-frontend-uploader/16540363?s_rank=1 for viral based contents?

4. Your theme loads at a whopping 4.8s on Gtmetrix. I think with additional optimization this could be a lightning fast theme. Kudos for implementing basic speed standards within your code.

5. Your comment system here: http://www.mvpthemes.com/zoxnews/illinois-financial-crisis-could-bring-the-state-to-a-halt/ shows reply button cut off on the first two posts comments. If we purchase and install would I have the same issue?

6. Can you add a tab style comment area where we could use regular wordpress to comment, facebook, or disqus?

7. Is it possible to move all the default inline javascript and css to default css style sheet?

8. I realized that you optimized site with W3 Total Cache. Is this the only cache plugin compatible with your theme or can I use WP Rocket, WP Super cache etc with your theme?

9. Is this theme compatible with HtmL5 for video? What if we wanted to use self-hosted videos other than vimeo or youtube? Is it possible?

Hi theankhlife,

1) I’m not sure what you mean by a login system, but if you are looking for a backend demo, that is not available for this theme.

2) The theme will allow different Featured Posts layouts for category pages in future updates, but they will not be the exact same layouts that are available for the homepage.

3) I will look into this, but I can’t guarantee that it will be included.

4) No problem!

5) Thanks for the heads up. I will look into this and provide a fix in an update.

6) I’m not sure what you mean by this, but the theme has Disqus integrated into the theme automatically, where you only need to enter your Disqus name and Disqus will replace the default commenting system.

7) The theme doesn’t have any inline javascript or CSS.

8 ) I would only recommend W3 Total Cache since other caching plugins are known to have theme compatibility issues, and not just with my themes.

9) If you can display videos in the default WordPress theme, you will be able to display theme in this theme.

Which font did you use for the Zox News logo? Love how it looks!

Hi silverscreenbeat,

It is called Headline News.

Hi, Which SEO plugin do you recommend best for Zox News? Yoast, All in One SEO, ... Thanks.

Hi gerard7803,

I have not officially tested any SEO plugins with the theme, so I can’t recommend any at the moment. But, I have not heard of any conflicts or issues with Yoast, and that seems to be the most popular.

Hello

if i want to create 2 post type like 1) City 2) Airport

A) is it possible post type City have a criteria for review different from post type Airport ? like City will have 3 criteria rating : Safety, Clean, Public Transportation and Airport will have : Lounge, Customer Service, Luxury ?

B) is it possible for users to create a different review for each criteria i put on City / Airport post type ? like, if City have topic TOKYO, user who visit Tokyo page, will able to add different story and add different rating for criteria Safety, Clean, Public Transportation ?

C) If i have Topic/post call TOKYO on post type City, is it possible in that TOKYO page, i put lot of information and show all summary rating from all criteria i set (Safety, Clean, Public Transportation), and when i try to access one of criteria like Safety it will go to page that show all rating and review for Safety in Tokyo ?

Thanks, i hope it clear enough :)

Hi toromfhd,

When you say post type, do you just mean “category”? I am just a little confused as to what you are looking for. Would you be able to provide an example of what you are looking for?

Hi, very nice looking theme! Is it possible to have a widgetized footer?

Hi axxum,

Unfortunately, a widgetized footer is not available in this theme since very few visitors actually view the bottom of the site and the extra content loaded in the footer will cause the site to slow down for the vast majority of visitors that don’t even view that content. So, essentially, it’s wasted content, which is why I opted to not display content there, just as most major news sites have as well.

Hi, Do you think we can expect the new update to be released this week? Thanks

Hi yanomis,

While I can’t guarantee that it will be available this week, I am currently working on it.

Hi yanomis,

I just wanted to let you know that the theme has been updated.

Hi, i have a pre-purshase question. I’m interested in using Featured Layout 1 and some of the Home Featured Widgets, but is possible to set offset post in the Widgets so the content of the “new” column is not repeated?

Hi Nosoynoob,

While the main featured column and the the Trending columns will be excluded from the widgets and the Blog section at the bottom of the homepage, the tabber part of the Featured 1 Layout on the right will not be excluded and may be repeated. This is because they are not as prominently displayed, and I wanted to give those articles an opportunity to be prominently displayed in other sections.

There´s no way to change that in the code? I want to use the featured widgets instead of the blog, but the fact that shows the same post of the tabber “new” cause only shows repeat content.

Hi Nosoynoob,

You can certainly edit anything in the code, but that is something you would need to do on your own since it is not a feature of the theme.

Hi – great looking theme! V impressed!

A question before I try it out…

On the Live Preview, on Featured Layout 3, you have sections going down the page – Entertainment, Videos (black background), Business, Tech, More News, etc etc…

I presume these are all Categories?

Is it possible to have these sections using Tags instead of Categories.

I run a website with 7,000 posts and I don’t want to have to re-categorise everything! So, I need the homepage to be organised by tags more than categories.

Many thanks!!! :-)

Hi digibob,

Yes, those widgets can display posts by category OR tag.

Excellent news! I’m in!

Great to hear!

Hi. When do you plan to update the theme? Please give me the date. I choose between your theme and the theme Bimber

Hi mcduck,

Unfortunately, I don’t have an exact date at the moment, but I am currently working on the update.

Ok. Thank you!

No problem!

Would there be no update this week? It’s Sunday, is the expectation going to be fulfilled?

Hi derickwilli,

My apologies for the delay, but I am trying to include PHP 7 compatibility in the update as well, which is why I was unable to release it last week.

It’s all right! We look forward to it!

Hello, as i can see in single.php you use the_post_thumbnail(’’), but the correct is the_post_thumbnail(). If i set post_thumbnail different size than default the the_post_thumbnail(’’) return wrong result

Hi lagiosdi,

Please submit a ticket at the Support Center so I can look into exactly what issue you are seeing with this. Thanks!

Hi, is the theme supports php 7.1? Is it possible to have post list like https://thenextweb.com/latest/ or do you plan to add such feature?cIt seems like that’s the trend now.

Hi factorybg,

I do plan to look into PHP 7+ compatibility for the next udpate. And the theme already comes with a column layout for all blog areas, including the homepage, categories, and archives.

Will you support PHP 7.0 in next update?

Hi Naj-naj-com,

I am currently looking into this to hopefully include it in the next update.

Yup. I do indeed have another question.

So I’m getting my homepage set up how I want it with various categories (Politics, Entertainment, Local, etc.) What I need to do now is create pages with those titles as a menu item at the top of the page. So my menu would be…

HOME POLITICS ENTERTAINMENT LOCAL ABOUT US CONTACT US

So when someone clicks on “POLITICS” it will take them to the politics page with only stories that have the ‘politics’ tag (or would it work as a category?) When they click on “ENTERTAINMENT” it will take them to the entertainment page with only stores that are tagged or categorized as entertainment.

I created a new page and called it “POLITICS” but all of my stories regardless of tag/category show up. I only want the political stories to show there.

I see something in your documentation about ‘category pages’ but I’m not sure if that’s what I’m talking about and if so, how I would make one of those.

As always, your help is appreciated. Thank you!

Hi hecubus70,

If you have any other questions, please ask them at the Support Center and I’ll be happy to help. Thanks!

More questions. heh.

I would like to change the color of the header. I’m using the featured layout 2 for my site and the image I want to use for my header is mostly black, so I would like to change the header background color from white (as it is now) to black in order for it to match. I know you’re using the header for an advertisement in your demo, but I want to use it for my logo, but I can’t seem for find options to change the header background color.

Thank you for your help as always.

Hello, I am interested to buy this theme but i want to know if is possible to make full width header and on home page, can I use on home page different layouts for ex. one layout i need to use from – Features 1, another one from Features 5 in same Home Page. I hope you understand me what i mean because I am not good in english. Thank You

Hi EbHelloWorld,

I am not sure what you mean by full width header. The theme allows you to place any image or ad you want in the leaderboard ad area, as is shown in the demo.

And you can only use one homepage layout at a time.
