Can we restrict the player to play for entire website without changing the audio when visitor browse to other pages?
https://www.abukhadijah.comThe issue we are having is, when I clicked on other Audio post; the player also changes its audio.
Can please advise, thanks in advance.
And your support system is down.
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out, it’s highly appreciated.
We don’t have that possibility, any page refresh or load new page will stop the player and try to load audio from a new post.
That is a reasonable question and desire, but that is not something easy to accomplish with WordPress. Not in this WordPress concept.
Best regards, Meks team.

Dear Author your theme seems amazing. When are you going to update it? Think about purchasing it.
Hi
We have ready update that should be out in a couple of days.
Please let us know if you need anything else
Does the player stay playing while browsing other pages? The description makes it seem so but not working on the demo.
Hello,
Thank you for contacting us and thank you for your interest.
I don’t know which part of the description you mean, but you can play your episodes on the front page, and inside the episode itself.
Each time you navigate to the other page, the browser is refreshing, so you can’t really keep the player active while you’re switching the pages.
I hope that helps somehow.
If you want to try the theme for free and see the logic for yourself, you can do it on this link here:

Hi,
I wonder why not the user settings has not social network fields available. Then, the Hosted By block can’t show the social network by the Author as your demo shows https://demo.mekshq.com/megaphone/?p=205&demo-set=2-1-1
Could you please let me know how enable that?
Hi,
Thank you for contacting us.
The thing is that WordPress and Theme Forest have their set of requirements for theme developers. They state that these fields can’t be a part of the theme anymore, so you need to use an external plugin.
My suggestion would be to use this plugin here:
https://sr.wordpress.org/plugins/wpsso/Just install it and activate it. After that, navigate to your Users > The desired user, and scroll down to the social fields. There, you will be able to add the social links, and they’ll appear inside the author area.
Please don’t hesitate to let us know if you need any further help with that.

Beautiful theme. I have a couple of questions: 1.) Is it possible/easy to change the fonts of the theme? Your example looks like you have a few of them pre installed and ready to switch to. But what would be about custom fonts? 2.) Is it possible to change the look of the “quote blocks”? Your ” looks a little bit too modern for the look I would go for. 3.) The same for separator blocks. 4.) How easy is it to change the color, maybe even style, of the audioplayer? 5.) Sticky sidebar: Maybe you have a solution for the following problem? Is it possible to create a sticky sidebar with a widget whose content is linked to the post? So lets say the post reviews a book. Would there be a way to have a picture and shopping link in a widget to the side? The content would of course be different for every post. Would love to hear your thoughts on that. 6.) How is the host/guest mechanic working? The “users” area is disabled in the test theme. Do you simply flag someone as either a host or a guest?
Thank you so much for answering my questions and for providing this wonderful framework in the first place. I am looking around for a podcast theme at the moment, that yours is the best I came across until now. Other themes now have to be compared to Megaphone.
Hello,

Hello – Love the theme! I had a few questions about using Elementor.
1. Is it that the podcast sections (e.g., Featured Episode, Blog, Shows, Episodes) are only on the Theme’s home page and can’t be added to other pages like modules? 2. If so, then this means we have to use the Themes home page template to display all these sections. Can we then use Elementor to add on sections (a different hero, a opt-in section, etc) to this home page?
Thanks,
Marcos
Hello,
First of all, thank you for showing interest in our theme and thanks for contacting us, it’s really appreciated.
1) These sections are created only for the Home page and width current theme functionalities we don’t have an option for duplicate these sections on some other page.
Your feedback is highly appreciated. Of course, I will address your request to our product team and we will consider adding such a possibility in some of the next updates.
2) Sure, you could use the Elementor plugin. But if you want to use it on your home page, you’ll need to use Anywhere Elementor plugin, because your home page is manageable through Appearance > Customize > Theme Options > Front Page.
To use Elementor on your home page, you’ll need to create a new page and use it as a template, so you can add it to the home page custom content area. You’ll use the page id, and place it in the Anywhere Elementor shortcode, and you’ll add that shortcode in the Custom Content area.
You can find the plugin on this link here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/anywhere-elementor
I would also like to invite you to test drive our theme for free, just follow this link here: http://demo.mekshq.com/?theme=megaphone&testdrive and enter your email address, and you’ll receive access to fully featured theme version with demo content imported so that you can evaluate the theme and see if it suit your needs.

Hello! Pre-sales question… I have a site already with other themes, but love your audio player’s look and functionality. Any chance I am able to get the full features of the audio player without using the rest of the theme? is there a premium version of the plugin I could purchase for this?
Greetings,
Thank you for contacting us, and thank you for your patience during the weekend.
No, we don’t have that kind of offer currently, but I’ll forward your message as feedback to our product team, and maybe they’ll consider that kind of possibility in the future.

just purchased theme and when i try to install i get an error stating that it is missing the style.css
Greetings,
Thank you for contacting us and thank you for your patience during the weekend.
You just need to unpack the file that you’ve downloaded from Theme Forest and upload the megaphone.zip, which is located inside that zip file.
You can read more about that in this article from Envato, and from the article that you can find megaphone docs:
https://envato.com/blog/install-themeforest-wordpress-theme/ https://mekshq.com/docs/megaphone-installation/I hope that helps.

You can always create multiple podcasts with our Shows feature. You can read more about that in this article from our docs:

Trying to get your theme to work for a friend that purchased it. He installed it the first time with the wizard and the podcasts wouldn’t show on the home page – only blog posts (he sent a ticket and hasn’t heard back), so instead of waiting I reinstalled wordpress + theme and didn’t run the wizard this time, just the plugins. Now the podcast content is missing (no “podcast” menu). Is this compatible with the latest wordpress? never had any issues using any other theme before. Any ideas?
Hi,
Thank you for contacting us and thank you for your question.
We don’t have any active tickets with this kind of issue. Maybe the email went to our spam folder or there was some kind of error with the form.
Can you please share the email from which he send the message, so I can check, or he can send us the ticket again, and we’ll reply as soon as possible.
Also, we don’t have any similar issues and we don’t have any similar reports, so I suppose that there is some plugin conflict, or the demo import has gone wrong for some reason.
Looking forward to your reply.
Best regards,
Meks team
I don’t want to share the e-mail publicly, but just told him to send again.
Hi,
Ok, no problem. We’ll try to provide an answer as soon as possible.
He can also send us an email directly on this email address support@mekshq.com.

Hi , I am considering using your theme. If I do so would I be able to recreate your demo exactly out of the box?
Hello,
Thank you for contacting us and thank you for your interest.
Yes. You just need to follow this short procedure from our docs:
https://mekshq.com/docs/megaphone-demo-content-import-setup-wizard/The only difference is that you are not getting the demo images, because we’re trying to prevent any possible legal problems that our customers may have with the image authors.
I hope that helps.

Hi, Just wondering if there is any change to your recommendation to use Content Restrict or Simple Membership with Megaphone. Also, if you’re still recommending these two, which of the two would you say works best? many thanks
Hi,
Thank you for contacting us.
We don’t have any preference, but we do recommend Simple Membership in our docs:
https://mekshq.com/faq/setup-membership-website-using-simple-membership-wordpress-plugin/?kb=36This particular article is made for our Vlog theme, but everything is pretty much the same with Megaphone.
