Hi, there is a problem with the theme. The theme loads 2 times same ID (id=”_nonce_smartmag_meta”)

<input type=”hidden” id=”_nonce_smartmag_meta” name=”_nonce_smartmag_meta” value=”021b503769” />

<input type=”hidden” id=”_nonce_smartmag_meta” name=”_nonce_smartmag_meta” value=”021b503769” />

It loads in the containter-id’s smartmag_reviews & smartmag_post-options

Can you help?

Fiy it is in the backend when editing a post.

Hello i have 1 question why in widgets smart mag -> recent tabs although i have set to bring 10 posts per tab it only shows 4 posts? Is this a bug?

I also notice that in the main block the images are too pixelated.

When entering the note it looks good but I see this even in its own theme:

https://smartmag.theme-sphere.com/good-news/

if you see the middle image for example, that looks SUPER PIXELED (cloudy) it looks ugly. How can it be improved?

Hey,

It’s not appearing pixelated in all our tests but our tech team can help troubleshoot this. Please create a topic at our Support Site with technical info like your browser and device you’re using – if you have activated the theme license, you should already have received your support password via email (you can use Login > Forgot password? link to get a new one).

Hello I detect a bug, when in the home in the large image box I activate the carrousel function and I put more than 3 news items to show, the images stop looking normal, they turn to look gigantic and therefore I cannot use the carrousel function.

I mean the main slider above: https://smartmag.theme-sphere.com/good-news/

If there in that block you activate the carrousel function and add 1 more note, it already breaks … how do I fix this bug?

Hey,

Please try using even number of items. So if it’s a 3 column carousel, you can use 3 or 6 posts for now. For further support, please note we provide support via our support site only – you can create a topic at our Support Site – if you have activated the theme license, you should already have received your support password via email (you can use Login > Forgot password? link to get a new one).

Hi ThemeSphere, I have a pre-purchase question; can an RSS aggregator plugin work with your theme to enable the automatic posting of news from external sources?

Hey,

Thanks for writing to us. We don’t have experience with the mentioned plugin, but this seems like more of a WordPress concern rather than theme’s. Basically it should work with any theme. But for good presentation, you should check if the plugin has a feature to automatically set “featured images” as well.

Cheers.

Is there an option to make the header bar being ALWAYS sticking? All pre-builds I had a look ONLY stick it while scrolling up.

Hey,

Sorry that’s not a feature in the current version. We removed the always sticky feature in v5 as it was considered an anti-pattern in terms of user experience (UX). If there’s demand for it, we will add it back in a future release. For your second query, if the row you make sticky has the logo, it will be shown.

Cheers.

Thank you for your answer. Your concern about UX is to be appreciated. Some points to be considered:

1. Nielsen Norman Group article from last month suggests to use the “Partially Persistent Headers” only on mobile sites. Source: https://www.nngroup.com/articles/sticky-headers/ (point 4). So if you’re aiming to offer your users the best solution by default (which is great) you should consider doing so without affecting desktop & tablet versions as well.

2. Your theme CheerUp, another top seller theme here on Themeforest, shows an always sticky header on some demos – example: https://cheerup.theme-sphere.com/magazine/ – without having in the description something like “be aware of anti-pattern in terms of user experience option available”.

3. Adding features on users’ demand is wise but you know… sometimes users don’t bother to demand, they just buy another theme and you will never know it’s been because of a missing easy-to-implement feature.

Thanks for the feedback. For CheerUp, both options are available for backward compatibility as too many users were using the always-on option. We’ll consider adding it to SmartMag too in future for desktop/and other large screens only.

Cheers.

Scusate, ma come faccio ad aggiornare? dove scarico il file

The child theme that’s in the child-theme folder, why is it 2 files and not zipped? There’s a function.php and styles.css files, how do I use these? I’ve never seen a separate files in a child theme, usually get a zipped file.

Hey,

The Child Theme is mainly for developers who will add their modifications in the functions.php or the style.css file. Then they will create a zip file from it or upload it via FTP. You can right click on it on your computer and create a zip file by clicking “Compress” on Mac, and Send To > Compressed on Windows. Without doing any modifications, there’s not much use of using a Child Theme.

Thanks, I was just asking a general question and thought it’s better suited here but if you say it’s better for support then I’ll use it from now, btw to edit post is it better to use Elementor? Instead of WP default editor.

Hello,

I would like to use SmartMag on my websites, but unfortunately you don’t have an option on your theme that asks visitors to disable “adblock”.

Without naming names, there are WordPress themes that have this feature built into their theme. I hope you do too.

Best regards, Hicham

Hello,

After using your theme for 3 days, my Google Adsense revenue has decreased by more than 80%!

I have already tested several plugins, one of your competitor’s theme integrates it in their theme without plugin, and their solution is the best, much better than all the plugins I tested and faster.

I can give you the name of this WordPress theme by email, if you want, contact me by email : hicham1@gmail.com.

(As you know, to have a fast site, it’s better not to use many plugins).

I hope you will add your own solution to this.

Regards,

Hey,

Thanks for the suggestion. You can share your current suggestion and any other feature suggestions you have, privately, via this form. We add new features for future versions based on user demand.

Cheers.

OK,

I have just sent you all the necessary information via the link you gave me.

Regards,

Hi, I was exploring your live demos and they look great, I liked the theme, but I noticed that some important features missing, and I don’t know if the theme has it and only the demo ones don’t have it.

The features I am referring are (1) reading progress bar, which is essential and ca spare using a third party plugin, some themes in themeforest have these features. The (2) feature is language switching.

Thanks if you consider my comment.

Hey,

Thanks for checking the theme and the feedback. As for the feature suggestion, unfortunately we don’t have the feature (1) and there hasn’t been any demand for it yet so it’s not on roadmap for a near future version. We’ll consider it in if there’s more demand for it. The multilingual features and language switching would be offered by a multilingual translation plugin like WPML (we have full compatibility with WPML).

Cheers.

Hi Guys, great theme i want a theme for a video blog and i want to be able to add Ads where ever is possible, ih header, posts, inside posts, to have the big ad in home page in boxed layout us background Is all possible? for example… look this site https://tinyurl.com/jhvaupj3 it has two banners one on the left one on the right for BP

Thanks

Hey,

Thanks for stopping by. We do have all the ad spots you have mentioned built-in, except for floating ads on side in boxed mode. For this, you will have to use a bit of custom code (our support team can guide you on this code) or a plugin like Advanced Floating Content.

Cheers.

Great , Thanks!

Hi, your theme looks great. A few questions:
  1. Are there any required plugins (page builders?) that need to be installed?
  2. The different category layouts are set via theme customizer?
  3. Is the theme compatible with PHP 8?

Hey,

Thanks for writing to us. To answer your queries.

1. On our live preview, the homepage for each demo is built using Elementor for which we have our unique blocks and performance optimizations.

2. Correct. The archive and category layouts can be set via Customizer. You can see more layouts under the Features > Category Layouts on our demos.

3. Yes, it’s compatible with PHP8.

Cheers.

Hi any benefits using elementor pro ??

You don’t need Elementor Pro for any of the mentioned features or features shown on our demos. We don’t use Elementor Pro, however the theme is compatible with it if you wish to use it for some reason.

$the_style = $styles[$style];

I want to buy this theme but I have 2 questions before. 1) Can I change the color of the header? 2) the autoload post is available with the full width post format?

Hey,

Thanks for writing to us. Yes sure you can change the color of header from Appearance > Customize. And yes, the autoload works with all post styles.

It looks like you have already purchased the theme. So if you need any support, please create a topic at our Support Site – if you have activated the theme license, you should already have received your support password via email (you can use Login > Forgot password? link to get a new one).

Unfortunately when customizing the theme it takes a long time and just loads the page, breaking the wordpress panel. Several times the page breaks and I can’t work. I’m almost giving up on this topic. Is there a solution for this?

Infelizmente ao personalizar o tema apresenta uma demora enorme e fica apenas carregando a página, quebrando o painel do wordpress. Várias vezes a página quebra e não consigo trabalhar. Já estou quase desistindo deste tema. Há alguma solução para isso?

Thank you so much!

Text with automatic translation: I don’t know how to explain what happened here. But, after a lot of experimenting and testing, I discovered an incompatibility of an extension for Google Chrome with the theme. I would not like to quote names here. And I see clearly that there are no culprits. These are the things that happen and then we discover and adjust. I will post what happened in the forum privately. I appreciate the incredible service and attention.

Yes, you can post at our support site.

I just updated WP from 5.4.2 to 5.7.1 and most of the images have stopped showing on front-end. Most of them are visible on hover only. Tried disabling caching plugin and other image related ones, didn’t help. How to fix this? Website: https://pruvodcevyzivou.cz/.

Got it, had to update the theme from 3.1.0 to 3.4.0. It’s working now.

Hey,

Good to hear your figured it out. For further support, please create a topic at our Support Site – if you have activated the theme license, you should already have received your support password via email (you can use Login > Forgot password? link to get a new one).
