Hello I would like to know how you can set the 2 color Site title (placed where the logo is). thanks

I got it ! thanks :)

would it be possible though to be able to add more customisation to the site title? (underline, highlighted, different font size) for a part of the site title. Thanks

For further customization of the text-based logo, you have to use default HTML codes such as <em&gt for italics. If you need advanced styling of a logo, an image based logo is always preferred.

For further support and to ensure we don’t miss your support questions, please post at our Support Forums.

Hope this helps. Thanks for your purchase. Have a good day.

Hi, I am very interested in this theme, I need to to work with Events Calendar by Modern Tribe. Do you know if this would be an issue?

Is there a way I can preview the admin side? Thanks!

We have briefly tested Events Calendar and it works pretty good. We can also offer minor suggestions and CSS code to improve its styling if you post at our Support Forums.

Our admin demo isn’t currently ready, but please email us via our profile and we’ll let you know as soon as it’s up. Meanwhile, if you need to get a bit of an idea from documentation, here it is: http://theme-sphere.com/smart-mag/documentation/

Thanks for your interest. Have a good day.

Thanks for the kind words.

The logo not changing in size is a design decision by our designer – that’s how it was styled to be displayed on mobile devices (for better branding on mobile devices). If someone wishes to change that, we can help achieve that with a few CSS line in the Custom CSS.

Cheers.

good … once I buy … I might require that ….. also as a suggestion … google seo gets better results if every element is responsive…

Sure. Not a problem. The logo is responsive – as in it changes its alignment to suit for responsive design – it just doesn’t resize due to branding reasons.

And thanks for your suggestion. We’ll consider it in a future version.

Hi! The theme looks highly customizable and i like it. But I wonder if you have a demo admin panel. I’ll be happy to test it. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your interest. Please email us through our profile and we’ll let you know once our admin demo is ready.

Cheers

Hi,

Great theme!

Before I purchase I need to know if I can use 336×280 sized adsense blocks in the sidebar. I see you have 300×250 preset ad blocks already but 336×280 would be the bomb :-)

Cheers.

Hey,

I am glad you like the theme. The 336×280 ad will work but it will be 10px wider than the sidebar headings such as Latest Galleries.

If you wish, we can help you make the sidebar a little larger without any negative effects on rest of the content.

Additionally, you can also use responsive Google Adsense blocks.

Feel free to ask any related questions you have.

Thanks

Ok, buying now and will let you know if I run into problems or require sidebar size adjustments.

Thanks for the quick response :-)

Anyone can build a theme. But to build it with this level of attention to detail is amazing. Well done to all involved. I was wondering how I can join the support group please as I wanted to learn the code to right align the text in the bottom footter widget.

Thanks a lot for your kind words.

Hello,

I would like to ask you is it possible to use other kind of gallery? I would like all of my images which belong to the post to be seen and the visitor to choose which one to click on and see it bigger.

Are you referring to default WordPress galleries with thumbnails. Here’s a relevant example using Tiled Mosaic Gallery: http://theme-sphere.com/smart-mag/quisque-turpis-arcu-congue-in-tincidunt/

Apart from that, you can use any of the WordPress default galleries and have them displayed as thumbnails in the post – clicking on them opens in lightbox.

Additionally, there are many other free gallery plugins available that work just fine with SmartMag and I can offer recommendations based on your requirement.

I have replied your email with the information you asked for. Feel free to ask if you have any other queries.

Have a great day.

Thank You! This is what exactly looking for!

Great theme, one of the best!! thanks again to Asad for implementing my mods on the mega menu, if anyone else needs option for featured post on mega menu only you can visit the theme support page below and look it up. 5 Stars :-)

Thank you for your kind words. Glad to have been of help.

Hi:

I have some questions:

a) I installed the theme and the sub categories widget display the items very bad. Is it normal. Can I fix them to get organized ?.

the site is http://www.webtralia.com

b) How Can I add social icons into the top bar like in the demo site. I could not find the icons.

c) Could I fix the theme to use the first post image instead of the features image ?.

thanks…

Hey. Thanks for your purchase.

a) Can you please explain which sub-categories widget are you referring to?

b) Please follow instructions under “Adding Social Icons” here: http://theme-sphere.com/smart-mag/documentation/#top-bar

c) Sorry but like all other modern WordPress themes, using a featured image is a requirement. There are a few WordPress plugins that can help you here: Auto Post Thumbnail, Easy Add Thumbnail. These plugins still require that the images be attached to the post – i.e. not external image links. Try this it there are external images: http://wordpress.org/plugins/auto-featured-image/

If you have more questions, please post them at our Support Forums to ensure we don’t miss your query.

Have a great day.

thanks. I read the guide but I did not see the part “adding social icons”.

when I add the categories widget and I edit it to see the hierarchy, the subcategories look very bad.

Answered at Support Forums. Thanks.

Hello, I am considering purchasing this theme, transition has many options in the main slide?

The default slider uses Flexslider which supports a fade and a slide transition. We guided one of our buyers into implementing Meta Slider though (which supports 16 but has different style).

If you have any more queries, let us know. Thanks.

Hello, beautiful theme…but i am having PHP errors everywhere!!

Thanks for your purchase and I am glad you like it.

That’s odd. We have so far had no PHP errors on any installation but rest assured, we’ll figure it out for you. Can you please email me (through our profile) with the following info: PHP version, Host your using, and a link to your site where you’re seeing the errors.

Please use our Support Forums so that we don’t miss a query.

Cheers

Love the theme!! but: 1. whatever i try i can’t get an menu placed, only with the widget ontop of the header instead of underneath it. 2. same thing with te colors ive changed them and they don’t show up in the site.

Hey. Thanks for your purchase.

Your site is in maintenance mode, so can you please email us with an admin account that can access the site.

For the colors not changing/custom css not working, few hosts or plugins place an .htaccess file in wp-content or wp-content/themes/ folder that prevents SmartMag’s custom css from working.

Please start a topic at our Support Forums for further guidance.

Thanks

the hosts does nothing to prevent this, ive tried it at different hosts. there are only the plugins that came with the theme or where suggested by the theme..

Seems like themeforest package folder got extracted. Assisting on Support Forums. Thanks.

Truly great work.

Thank you!

Hello I cannot seem to get the slider working? I check the box on 8 or more pieces of content in the posts, but the slider wont show up anywhere.

Not sure why it isnt working.

Hey. Thanks for your purchase and I am glad you liked it.

Perhaps you need to select the slider to show on your homepage. Edit the page you set as your frontpage, next to “Show Featured Slider?”, select “Default Slider”.

For further quick guidance, please check the F.A.Q. at our support forum: http://theme-sphere.com/forums/topic/common-issues-and-f-a-q/

If you have any further questions, feel free to start a topic at our Support Forums.

Cheers

Perfect. Thanks mate, this theme is just wow!

Will there be additional shortcodes in future updates? Specifically wondering about rows. I see tabs, accordion and such but don’t see any demo content of how the theme handles content with rows. Thanks in advance!

Rows ( tables ) there may be some use of tables in the demo? but didn’t see any. Just wondering how the theme renders tables inside post/pages… Thanks!

Thanks for explanation. There are no pricing tables available yet – without plugins – but basic styling of tables is pretty sufficient. Here’s an example: http://theme-sphere.com/smart-mag/tables-test/

Cheers.

Hi

I’m interested in purchasing this theme and wanted to know if I can integrate it with disqus

Thanks in advance. Great theme

Yes. You can use the Disqus’s official WordPress Plugin to integrate Disqus comments easily into SmartMag.

Cheers

Is the share bar fixed to the bottom of content items? or is its placement selectable? like remove.. or have just at top. Just bottom. Or show top and bottom of content.

Thanks in advance!

thanks for the quick reply. I know there are a lot of share plugins that play nice in a new theme but it’s always nice to keep the designers imprint imo. A lot of share plugins would work but then not match the theme atheistically.

Completely understandable. I prefer that too but usually our buyers have been interested in existing solutions being compatible. However, the recommendation was based on the plugins that have at least one style that match the theme design’s personality.

Should you wish to re-configure the default one in a different place, we can guide you on how to do that in few simple steps.

Have a great day.

Hello. How do you get the widget to the right of the slider? This is not in the documentation. Thank you!

Please check http://theme-sphere.com/smart-mag/documentation/#add-posts-to-slider

Basically, the right-side area isn’t any special widget area. It’s part of the main featured area. When you have 8 posts marked to be featured, 3 of them will display on the right side.

If you need more support, please post at our Support Forums.

I hope this helps. Thanks for your purchase.

Ohhh. Thank you!

I need a pre-order (not directly for me) info. Does this theme have problems with php engine 5.3? (I’m asking because one theme that I’ve bought before from themeforest, had problem with php 5.3). Please let me know! Thank you

Our live demo runs latest version of PHP 5.3 and we have tested it on 5.4 and 5.5. There are no issues.

Thanks for your interest. Feel free to ask any other questions you may have.

ok thank you!I will report this to a (near)future buyer!:)

Hi Is there a Social Icon for Pinterest that I can use along the top of the site header next to twitter and facebook? cheers

Yes. You can use this shortcode like explained in the documentation under “Adding Social Icons” section.

Example custom usage: [social_icon link=”link to your pinterest” title=”Pinterest” type=”pinterest” /]

If you have any more questions or need more details, please use our Support Forums: http://theme-sphere.com

Thanks for your purchase.

Ignore that, just updated to ver 1.0.2 and it’s there, cheers

Hi I cannot get the leaderboard advert beside the logo to line up correctly. What code are you using to place advert here. Is it possible to place a widget like adrotate in this position

First of all, thanks for your purchase.

If you bought the theme prior to February 5, you will need to re-download it and update it. Here are the update instructions: http://theme-sphere.com/forums/topic/updating-your-theme-to-a-new-version/

For adrotate, you can simply use the Adrotate plugins provided shortcode in the advertisement widget.
