i have one more question :) The Flickr widget shows just two rows, i would prefer three, can i somehow adjust it?

Hello en10,

Flickr widget can show at most 10 images. So we need to change CSS to show them in three rows. You can add the following rules at the end of user.css file:

.flickr_badge_image {
    margin: 0 4% 0.8333em 0;
    width: 29%;
    height: auto;
}

.flickr_badge_image img {
    width: 100%;
    height: auto;
}

This will make them appear in three rows.

For translation, you can use the language .po files located inside newsplus/languages/ folder. For more details on translation, kindly refer to the documentation file’s section 15. Using language options. You can also use Codestyling Localization plugin for translation.

Regards

Thanks for the flickr code, works great. And thanks for the support. I tried what you said and looked at the .po files and installed the plugin you suggested, but can nowhere find where to translate the buttons. Did anyone succeed to translate it?

Hello en10,

If using Codestyling Localization plugin, rescan all theme strings so that they are available for translation. You can also use poEdit software which I have described inside the documentation file. You can see an example of translated buttons at http://gochicago.ru/

Hello, I put adsense 728×90 in header widget. It works on computer but on my phone the image is not resized. Could you please help me ? My site is lemagtechno.com. Thanks.

Thanks you SaurabhSharma. So i must create 3 news Responsive ad ?

Hello jcbest,

For desktop you can have 728px leaderboard, then 460px for medium layout, and 300px for mobile layout. You can also opt 768px for desktop and 300px for rest of the devices.

Regards

Ok, it’s good it works !!! Thanks you. Kind Regards. JCbest

when i use the rule you laid out in your FAQ /* Increase font size in both pages and posts / .entry-content p, .entry-content ul { font-size: 1.1666em; / or 14px */ }

It affects not only the size of the fonts in the post and pages (which i want)

but also the Titles in the widget “Recent posts” (not the title of the widget itself, but the titles of the posts)

How can i increase font size of just the posts and pages text body?

:) sorry, got it :)

No problem. :)

Regards

Hello Woocommerce,

Sorry I didn’t understood your query. Do you mean the text in top black bar? Upon checking your site http://arkdreamshop.com/ I do not see that text. Kindly let me know if it is still appearing at your end.

Regards

Hello woocommerce,

Some extra markup is being added inside head section of single product pages which is breaking rest of the code. I suspect this is caused by either social sharing buttons inside single product, or one one the plugins which are used in single product. You can perform a couple of things to fix this issue:

1. Open / edit you product and switch the editor mode to “Text” mode. Next, look inside the product description if there is any HTML markup like <div id="le_body_row_1_col_1_el_1">. Delete this div block and use plain text.

2. Check by disabling social share on single product, and also disable other newly installed plugins except WooCommerce. If this solves the issue, start enabling the plugins until you find conflicting one. That shall fix the issue.

Hi

I’m trying to find a way to list the titles of the last five articles in a particular category. I don’t want thumbnails or snippets, just the category heading and the titles. Is that possible?

Thanks and regards

Hello Mark,

I suspect there is a caching plugin being used on your site. If so, clear all plugin cache and check the site again. If no caching plugin is installed, kindly send me your site URL. Also make sure the theme version is 1.0.3 or above, as the hide_image option was added in 1.0.3.

Regards

Hi

Thanks for the reply. It appears it might be a version issue.

I am assuming the latest downloadable version takes the theme right to all changes up to 1.0.7? Is there a simple/safe way to move from 1.0.2 to 1.0.7? Or can I move to 1.0.3 using the latest downloadable version without problem?

Hello Mark,

The ‘changelog’ folder in main download contains all the version log files. Each of these files contains list of changes that were made during each update. Looking into version log you can update files manually. But that will be a complicated process because v1.0.2 is too old.

In order to update safely, take a backup of your current theme and replace it with the latest one. Also install the child theme which comes with main download. If you activate and use Child theme, it will be easy to make updates in future because all the customization can go inside child theme.

For now, I would recommend updating to latest version and replace back your custom styles into the new files.

I have a PNG logo in my header which links back to my site root. How would alter the link so that it takes my visitors to a different page?

Hello Gavin,

By default logo is linked to site’s Home page. This can be changed inside header.php file. Kindly send me a mail at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com along with the full URL of page you want to link. I will send you the fix.

Hello, WP-PageNavi doesn’t work for me with template home. I have no Facebook plugin on my website. Could you please help me ? Thanks.

No, i mean for the static page with template “Home” here : http://lemagtechno.com/home. I don’t see the WP PageNavi with or without W3 Total Cache. Thanks you for your help Kind Regards

Hello jcbest,

The page seems password protected and is not accepting captcha answer. However, if you are using short codes for generating post, WP page navi will not work on it. Pagination works only for archives and blog templates. Since a page can have multiple instances of short codes, each one having their own pagination causes conflict.

Regards

No it isn’t password protected. Thanks for your response. i will see that later. Kind Regards.

Hi Saurabh, Sticky posts are not staying on the top position after newer posts have been published, the previous theme I used it worked fine but not on newsplus.

Has this been flagged as an issue with the theme before, if so is there a workaround?

Thanks

Hello howiej,

Sticky posts are set to ‘ignore’ inside short codes and templates. For reference, inside includes/shortcodes/shortcodes.php file and other template files the code to change is:

'ignore_sticky_posts'    => 1

This should be change to ‘ignore_sticky_posts’ => 0. Kindly send me a mail at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com, I will send you a fix. I will also change this in next update.

Regards

Hi there,

I’m having a hard time figuring out how to activate the sliders.

In the demo posted here: http://themeforest.net/item/newsplus-magazineeditorial-wordpress-theme/full_screen_preview/4208250

There are also really nice categorization available on the home page. “Technology” “Lifestyle” and “Featured” etc. How do you get those set up?

Apologies for the rudimentary questions.

Hello KUNMprogramming,

Thanks for purchasing the theme. In order to get layout like Home page, you can use dummy markup from your download_zip/dummy_data/home*.txt files. For example, open home.txt file and copy all it’s contents. Next, inside your WordPress admin, create a new page and paste this markup. It will be required to change category IDs inside post short codes with the actual ones on your site.

For more details on setting up Home page, kindly refer to the documentation/index.html file inside your main download. It has a section named “Create Home page”.

Regards

Is it possible to have a .png logo for the Site Title but also keep the text tagline? What would the css be for that?

Hello Gavin,

Logo image can be shown by adding this rule inside style.css or user.css file:

.brand a { display: block; width: 180px; height: 70px; text-indent: -999px; background: url(images/logo.png) 0 0 no-repeat;  }

Make sure the logo.png is located inside images folder. Also change logo width and height inside this CSS according to logo image size.

Regards

Thanks Saurabh, worked perfectly.

hi

i have a problem with my website powered by wordpress unsing this theme : google blocked my website and tell me that there is a malware inserted in the website … google webmater tools show me this : malware inserted :

<iframe src=”http://4th.juanvazquez.com.ar?555” width=”800” height=”100” align=”center”>

the url is : http://actualitatea-romaneasca.com

any help please ?

Hello superiorus,

Thanks for purchasing the theme. Looking at the source code it seems that the header section of site is infected. This happens when one of your site folders are writable. If you have recently used any caching plugins (which makes writable cache folder), the problem could be caused by that.

To fix it, disable all such plugins for a while. Next, update wp-content/themes/newsplus/header.php file with the latest one. If possible, replace all core files with the latest one. Even if you are using latest version, replacing the files will make sure that the malicious code is removed from core files. If that doesn’t work, kindly send me your FTP and WordPress login at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com.

After installation Newsplus, how to set the variant / template number 8?

how remove sidebar ? (right) ?

Hello biscani,

Sidebar can be removed using Full width page template in pages. On posts you can use the post option panel and enable full width option.

Important: Please post messages from your purchase account for future support requests.

Hello there, great theme, been using it for a while now but have just completed a refresh and have a question

www.thinkdefence.co.uk

As you can see, there are 2 widgets in 1/3 columns at the top of a full width page with the final column holding plain text, the appearance is three ‘widgets’ across the width.

Is there a way to

1. Decrease the distance between the bottom of the leaderboard and the top of the widget to reduce the white space

and

2. Put a thin border around the two widgets on the left hand side PLUS the text column on the far right so that they look identical i.e. the boxes look the same height and width

Hello harveyf1,

Thanks for the purchase and kind feedback. You can add the following rules inside user.css file:

#main .wrap {
    padding-top: 0;
}
.widgets_on_page {
    padding: 0 20px 0 0;
    border-right: 1px solid #e5e5e5;
    min-height: 230px;
}
.widgets_on_page ul {
    margin: 0;
}
 @media only screen and (max-width: 768px) {
.widgets_on_page {
    padding: 0;
    border: none;
}
}

Next, clear browser cache and check the site.

Regards

Thanks for that, works brilliantly

hey this is a great theme, just want to check if this template include the Displays RSS Email Subscription widget? If you can confirm, that will be great.

Thanks

Hello yonas_atakilti,

Thanks for browsing the theme. The RSS/Email Subscription widget is not included. But the theme will support any external plugin having this featured. There is a built in Social Links widget which contains an RSS icon. This can be used to link to your feeds URL. For subscriptions it will be required to use a plugin.

Regards

Love this theme, have been a paid user for more than a year. Is there a way to change the pure white background on the site and pages? either to give it a colour or make it transparent? I know the background image/color … but that does the bottom layer. I am talking about the next layer up.

For example on my site, here, making all that white be either a colour or transparent.

http://www.randombitsandbytes.org

Thanks!!! and keep up the great work on this theme!!!

Patrick

Hello Patrick,

Thanks for kind words and feedback. Kindly add the following rules inside user.css file:

#page { background: rgba(255,255,255, 0.85); }
#header, #utility-top, #main { background: transparent }
.secondary-nav li a { color: rgba(0,0,0,0.5); text-shadow: none; border-right-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.3)}

You can control opacity of 0.85 to some other value too.

how to skip first news from category latest news?

for example i have two box on home page..

LATEST NEWS (1 news, the last.. from news category)

NEWS (10 news, latest, frome news category)

i need to skip firste news in NEWS because i justa have in LATEST NEWS..

how to? thanks

Hello zelatech,

If you are inserting posts via short codes, you can use offset=”1” inside the short code as:

[insert_posts offset="1" num="" cats=""]

This offset=”1” parameter will go in shortcode of “News” section. Offset is used to skip particular number of posts.

Regards

Hello, I need your kind help again. I have to add a clickable background advertising (“skin”) to the site, I have the script and I need to know the best way to add it to the code.

Another question: as I need to visualize some ads in the homepage and others in the post and other pages, is it possible to set the theme in a way to have two sidebars: one for the homepage and one for posts and other pages?

Thank you and Regards

Hello dbart,

If some script needs to be added in head section of site, you can do so inside Appearance > Theme Options > General > Custom Head Markup. Here you can place the script calls or CSS file call.

The theme supports custom sidebars per page and post. You can register new sidebars via Page options and use the available sidebars in posts too. The theme also supports Content Aware Sidebars plugin which is a great tool for exclusive sidebars.

Regards

Hello, about the sidebars I could easily solve the problem as I realized that I actually need just one extra sidebar for the homepage.

I still need your help for the background: I can place the javascript call into the Custom Head Markup field, but how can I replace the static background image with the new script in the CSS?

Thanks

Hello dbart,

I can suggest appropriate solution if you send me the site URL or details on how the background is being implemented. If there is any CSS, you can add that inside style.css or user.css file. You can mail me the details at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com.

no buddypress pages demo?

Hello littleantz,

I have installed the plugin and created a test forum. You can check it here.

Regards

Hello! This theme seems very suitable for one of my projects but it needs a smooth integrated forum solution. As the description tells this theme is ‘compatible’ with bbPress and BuddyPress which is good. But can you provide a demo or some screenshots to actually show how this will turn out? Thanks

Hello again,

I have installed BuddyPress and bbPress. You can check the test forum here.

Regards

Thanks for the quick reply and demo, you can expect my buy shortly!

Thank you, evasive.
