Hi there:
Is there any support or compatible this theme for Wordpress 5 because I got a problem, right now my site for some reason is redirect to http://www.elsantuariodelrock.com/blog/tag/music-video/ any post that I am posting to that url. Please any idea, Thank you!
Hi,
I bought the shockmag theme around 3 days ago. I absolutely love it but I have a problem. I deleted 3 posts I made just to test the looks of the website, but they kept appearing both on the slider and on the most viewed posts at the bottom. I created a new frontpage and now the only real post I have published do appears there, but the categories that should be on top doesn’t. As well, the deleted posts keep appearing at the bottom on the “most viewed” section.
Can you guys help me out?
Thanks
Hello.
Is this tested and working under WordPress 5?
Kind Regards
hello there when i create a post and put a categories it shows on front page but the slidshow stop working
Hi, can you please provide a url for us to check? and or if you send us an email to suppport [at] strictthemes.com with your login details we can have a look at it. Thanks, Luis.
Hi, I’d like to activate as my front page this version of the theme: http://strictthemes.com/shockmag-4/
How do I do so? Also, how can I change the color of the header and where do I install the header logo?
Hi, apart from the documentation that comes with the theme here you will find some useful articles that will help customizing the theme http://strictthemes.com/shockmag/category/documentation/ .
Here you have the steps to get your site like demo number 4 http://strictthemes.com/shockmag/how-to-build-a-site-from-scratch-like-on-live-preview-4/
You can upload your logo via Theme Panel.
Regards, Luis.
Hi can you please provide screenshots of the actual problem? the link you provided is using another theme.
Thanks, Luis.
I apologize, I’m sick of theme, I also joined the anonymous template. I reactivated with intention to use your theme, but it is trumag that presents the same problem. the images are disproportionate. I think the problem is identical to shockmag if you use the URL in my first comment you can see for yourself
Well, somehow you are getting some inline styling (probably coming from your actual settings of the image or a plugin). Once you find what is adding that, the problem should disappear. Look https://cl.ly/beff1986397e
Regards, Luis.
ok, more or less I understood. I unfortunately are not very experienced, you have any suggestions to give me to detect what the problem is or who creates it
Well, first of all, check your plugins, is any of them doing stuff with the images? are you using the wordpress editor for your posts or anything else? Try to make a new post and add an image like you would normally do and compare what you get on the “Text” tab of the editor and the generated code. If the code gets modified when content loads then it must be a plugin interfering.
Normally I would deactivate(not delete) all the “optional” plugins leaving only the required ones for the site to work (like STKit) and see if it makes any difference.
Regards, Luis.
ok, I’ve disabled all plug-ins except st-kit, but nothing has changed. I always write via wordpress editor I have made an article added to an image, but both in preview and by publishing the image does not fit
Then I would suggest you to start clean with a new wp installation and once you have shockmag setup start importing your posts, then pages, then plugins… until you find who’s causing the problem. It’s the only way of figuring out why is it forcing those dimension on the html. Maybe some css coming from a plugin that collides with our classes? Can’t really tell you.
Hi, In the demo of Shockmag there is a square image in the right hand corner, looking like an advertisement. It is over the featured image in the post, saying Banner Spot 300×250 (the image is of fire, just to make it clearer for you)
I have looked in the sidebars and I can’t work out how to put something there. It looks like a perfect place to add an advertisement or pointer. Thanks for your help.
Hi, in that specific case we used the “After title” option. You can find it in ST Kit > Post https://cl.ly/5fc521f9fc20
Regards, Luis.
Hi, I’ve tried exactly what you said but nothing shows up – even when I put text or a imagine in that After Title option – nothing shows – I’m not sure what you mean by in the ST Kit – there doesn’t seem anything to look at in ST Kit – thanks David
Sorry by STKit I meant Theme Panel and the exact option is “Below Title” under Post tab, I was talking from memory.
If we are talking about the same spot it should change. See: https://cl.ly/323ee39f0f0c
Regards, Luis.
When I install the theme, there is no theme panel button to put the text file information into. It installed and unpacked fine. Did a WP upgrade move things around as I am unable to tweak this at all and it does not display properly at all. I only have today and tomorrow to get this up to go live on Monday. Please help.
Hi, sorry to hear that you had a two days deadline.. Did you install STKit plugin? that’s the one in charge of the theme panel. If it’s ok to you, send me a login to support(at)strictthemes.com so I can have a look at it because if your followed instructions you should at least get the theme showing and the Theme Panel listed on your backend.
Regards, Luis.
Look, I just installed the template, I installed a bunch of plugins that I don’t need or want, and there’s no Theme Panel tab on my website. I’m extremely unhappy that this is so difficult to use out of the box.
Hi, first of all we are here to help you get the theme up and running so please explain the steps you followed to give an accurate answer for your problems.
Shockmag comes with a very detailed documentation on how to set it up correctly on any of their variants. You also have more manuals here: http://strictthemes.com/shockmag/category/documentation/
If you don’t see the Theme Panel can be because the is not activated or you didn’t get ST Kit installed and activated correctly.
You don’t have to use/install all the “recommended” plugins, of course you will be missing some functionalities that are given by those plugins but it’s up to you. Just be sure to install the “required” ones.
I would recommend you to have wordpress running locally and make your tests before working on a remote server, it is much faster to work locally and if you mess it up you can start over easily by dropping all the db tables and deleting the theme and the plugins manually.
Please let me know if you get stuck in the process and how can I help you.
Regards, Luis.
I’ve installed the template and I don’t have a Theme Panel tab.
Hello,
I have been using the Shockmag WP theme for about six months now and I love it. However, my site is suddenly not responsive on mobile. Actually the text is, but the images are not. I’m using the same sized images as always, but for some reason, they are not scaling to fit the screen whereas the text is. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you, Todd Gilleland
Hi Todd, can you please post the url for me to have a look? I’ve just checked and in our installations looks ok. Maybe a plugin interfering?
www.metalmitten.com – I was able to adjust the most recent post by deleting the size specs of each image, but if you look at the Judas Priest post or any older posts, you’ll see the photos are not auto formatting. Thank you for your help!
I’ve been through all of them till the first ones that only have videos and they were looking great.
Hi, I’ve gone through and installed as per your documentation per Shockmag demo, but I have a few issues. Naturally this is urgent as our magazine looks a mess until these issues are rectified…
Firstly, I can’t find in the documentation what the ideal image sizes are for Featured articles/advertisement sizes/or site logo size. Please advise, as the logo is far too small as is!
Secondly, some posts show a feature picture on the Front page, but many do not. Is there a reason for this, and how can I ensure all posts show their feature picture?
Thirdly, the Secondary menu obscures the social media icons – have I done something wrong there? Please advise how to fix this.
Finally (for now) where can I change font colour? Because some of it is white, some is grey, and I can’t fathom where to co-ordinate them from…
Hi, logo size is 300×63px, carousel sizes at fill width are https://cl.ly/140u22000C3W and articles are https://cl.ly/3b23231u2X0s . Also think that the images are adjusted to fill the spaces they are placed in so just use bigger ones to be safe.
Second question, where? can you please attach a url or send some screenshots? if you have set a featured image it should be shown on the frontpage.
Third, secondary menu was meant to be small but you can try to add this snippet to your custom CSS and adjust the values to your own needs. This will create a second line for the secondary menu if needed.
.header-2 #header-holder-2 {
width: 40%; /* Adjust this value to your needs */
margin-right: -20%; /* Adjust this value to your needs */
}
ul.menu-2 > li { margin: 0 30px 0 0; }
The font colors are different to create contrast with the background of each placement. The highlight color can be changed from Theme Panel -> Style -> General. To make adjustments over the rest of the text you will need to do it adding your own css rules via Theme Panel -> Style -> Custom.
Regards, Luis.
Hi,
I am trying to install the theme for one of my clients and I was successfully able to import the News demo, however there are categories in the demo that have not been imported. Would like to know if there is something that I am missing. Appreciate any help.
I can send the website details and purchase code if needed.
Thanks, Saranya
Why I have completed the site after the installation and the pattern of the purchase of the template site is very different! How do you do the same as the template when you sell it? Is there a problem with my installation method?
Hi, can you provide a url to have a look at what you ended up with? If you follow all the steps as documented you should be getting the same site as the demo.
Regards, Luis.
Hello again.
I’m trying to shrink the size of this theme in order to achieve faster loading times. It seems that the icon fonts are big and I want to remove unused icons.
What libraries did you used when you generated using icomoon?
Kind regards
Hi, can’t really tell you as it was long ago, anyways they are between 23kb and 34kb, I don’t think the impact will be noticeable by ripping out some icons.
Regards, Luis.
Hi.
Are you aware of WP 5 coming soon?
Are you willing to support this as soon as it comes?
Kind Regards
Hi, we will start our tests as soon as the first beta comes out, for now they are on an alpha state and so much things can change till the final release.
Regards, Luis.
When embedding the WP header on a static PHP page, why do the dropdowns stop working? The rest of the nav is functional, only the drop down menus are broken.
Can you please clarify this question? Tell me what are you trying to do and what have you done so far.. for me looks like javascript file/s are not being loaded correctly or any of their dependencies. Can you provide a url to check? or at least the code you are using to see if I can spot the problem?
Regards, Luis.
I suspected it was an issue with embedding the correct JS file but havn’t been able to fix it yet. Here is a link to what I have so far http://stwvisual.com/bitcoindepot/
I’m still not sure why you are doing this that way (probably for you makes sense). Why don’t you create a page template and just use it to put all your code? I mean, instead of making a “replica” of the site for pages that need some custom scripts, you don’t even have to put the loop if you don’t need to.. and that way everything else will be loaded as normal. https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/template-files-section/page-template-files/
You can use template-frontpage.php as a guide to create yours.

When I change the blogroll layout in theme settings, nothing happens. It used to work but I’m not sure what caused it to break. Any idea what could be causing this?
Are you using any caching plugin?? If so, flush the cache and deactivate it while making changes on the site. Also make sure is not a browser caching problem.
Regards, Luis.
I am not using a caching plug in and I have tested to make sure it is not a browser issue. I tried disabling all plug ins too. https://stwvisual.com/bitcoindepot/blog/ When I select any of the blogroll templates it stays like this
