Hey, is there any chance that you add “Bunyard Pinterest” widget for this theme? I tried Easy Pinterest plugin, but somehow it doesn’t show properly, I don’t know why. BTW great theme.

Hey. Please create a topic for it at our Support Forums and we can offer some suggestions or help you improve the look of the existing widget you used.

Cheers.

My main slider is not working. can you please give me the tutorial on that

Hey. Here’s the documentation section dealing with Slider: http://theme-sphere.com/smart-mag/documentation/#add-posts-to-slider

If you need more help and guidance, please create a topic at our Support Forums. Thanks.

Hello ThemesSphere,

Great theme! However, I’m having problems with some plugins that I always use. It seems like they don’t work correctly with your theme, for example javascript elements are being lost somehow. Does the theme minify every plugin too or something. I don’t understand. Hope you can help me, so I can use your theme :)

Thanks in advance!

Hey,

Thanks for buying the theme and sorry to hear you’re having troubles. The theme by itself does not minify or touch any other Javascript. And what you’re describing shouldn’t happen. But if there are any conflicts, we’ll definitely help you fix them.

Please create a topic at our Support Forums with a link to your site or the page having issues (in a “private reply”). That will help us find any conflicts that exist.

Thanks.

thanks for theme

i want to give social icons open in a blank page. but target=”_blank” doesn’t worked?

what can i do?

Hey.

Do you wish to use it for Share Social Icons? Here’s a forum topic with a solution: http://theme-sphere.com/forums/topic/share-post/

If it’s for the top icons, please create a topic at our Support Forums and we’ll provide you with the guidance. Thanks.

Hi,

very nice theme!

Pre-sale questions…

1. Is there any possibility to make a beautiful gallery like this without slider or lightbox (it brings more ad views)? – http://www.promicabana.de/lena-meyer-landrut-tarzan-photocall-muenchen/lena-meyer-landrut-tarzan-photocall-muenchen-01/

2. Is it possible to easily change the content width? Because all my existing images are only 630px and I want that also in the future. :-)

Thanks!

Hey. Glad to know you like the theme.

1. The default galleries are the one you can see in the demo. But you can do something similar to your needs by using the ImageBrowser version of NextGen gallery free plugin. http://www.nextgen-gallery.com/imagebrowser/

The example isn’t perfect but when you use it in a post, it will display one image per page with prev/next buttons. Also, there are many more views of NextGen you can see no their website.

2. We can guide you via Support Forums on how to achieve that by a few edits. But it’s not something we would recommend. Because you will have to make the sidebar larger then. There’s a WordPress plugin to upscale old images – that would be a better option.

Thanks for your interest. Have a good day.

Hello, can filters be added to theme? I need them, because I have a lot of information.

thanks and best regards

Hey.

If you’re wondering whether the theme uses WordPress’s standard filters, then the answer is Yes.

If you were asking whether we implement some of our own custom filters too, the answer is Yes again.

All your custom filters can go nicely in a Child Theme and we have posted instructions on how to work with Child Themes in our Forums.

Thanks for your interest. Have a good day.

Hello. Really love this theme. Great work!

I do, however, have a few minor ?s. Hopefully you can help…

1. Do the posts that fall in the same block have to be the same category of blog post? Or can they be edited to come from different categories, or can they be “most recent” blog posts?

Screenshot example: http://goo.gl/Nu0C27

Currently it appears all posts that fall within the same block, are all the same category. Is this how it works for all blocks?

It would be great to have posts within the same block be “most recent” or come from other categories as well.

2. In this specific type of block (http://goo.gl/7aWnfH) – are those sub categories? or categories? Also, can there be more than 2?

3. In this specific type of block (http://goo.gl/7aWnfH) – can there be more than 3 side posts?

Thanks, and appreciate the help!

Hey. Always glad to read good words.

1. These are posts from the a specific category (and it’s children) or these posts can be from a tag. Recent posts from throughout the site aren’t supported in the highlights block but one of our user got a small customization from us that you can get via the support forums if you just wish to show recent blog posts there. The way that particular buyer got it implemented was by using offsets – so that the first column showed 1st to 4th latest posts and the second one showed the 5th to 8th recent posts.

2. The sub-categories for news focus block can be either based on default hierarchical parent/child relationship or you can manually select the categories you wish to show there. Additionally, you can also use tags instead.

3. Yes. You can configure both the number of highlighted posts (the on the left side) and the number of normal posts (on the right).

Thanks for your interest. Have a good day.

Hi,

I was wondering is it possible to limit the ’’preview explanations’’ in posts, under featured images. The text just under the cover picture, since some post have longer some shorter, and then the symmetry get distorted in blocks.

Tnx in advance!

Regards

Hey. The auto-truncate limits it to 15 words. You can set manual post excerpts using WordPress’s Excerpt feature on the post edit screen.

Please post at our Support Forums for detailed information and support. We handle support queries via Forums.

Thanks.

Hi all! I have a problem with header advertisement. If I activate bunyad advertisement widget, my header became more big. Is adding white space up and down. Same problem after I put text in right header widget (text with advertisement code). Thanks!

Hey. It’s possible you’re using an early version of the theme that had a bug with advertisement.

Are you using the latest version of SmartMag? If not, please update first: http://theme-sphere.com/forums/topic/updating-your-theme-to-a-new-version/

If that doesn’t fix the issue, please create a topic at our Support Forums with a link to your site.

Thanks.

Hello, I will buy this theme, it seems very nice, but first can you please tell me where can I get or buy new backgrounds for boxed layout style and is it possible to change background in this theme?

Thanks.

Hey. Yes you can change the background for the whole site, per page, per post, and per category too.

You can use any of the backgrounds patterns, full background images and so on. That will completely depend on the topic of your site. You can use full photos too as background. There are countless free and paid backgrounds on the internet.

If you would like to buy backgrounds, have a look at: http://graphicriver.net/category/graphics/backgrounds

Thanks for your interest. Have a good day.

PRESALE QUESTION:

I’d like to confirm that If I wanted to have a video where the slider is I could easily set this up with the builder?

Thanks! April

Okay, so then couldn’t I have a single video in the featured area? Since It would be attached to a post (assuming here)

Sorry but the default featured area is only configured to display the slider (5 posts) + 3 posts on the right as you can see in the demo. We have helped a buyer earlier to show only a single image (basically a post’s featured image). The same guidance can also be used for a video with a slight modification .

Cheers

Thank you. Let me consult with my client :)

Hi,

Thanks for a great theme! – I am sorry if this has been asked before. I really like the left part of the slider but can’t really use the right part – is there any chance that you are considering replacing the existing slider with two widget positions (or the possibility to choose between the existing slider and widget positions?)

Hey. There are few topics in the forums where we have given users the modifications to replace the right side of the slider with a widget area.

If that works for you, here’s the solution: http://theme-sphere.com/forums/topic/placing-widgets-beside-the-featured-slider/

Thanks for buying the theme. If you have any further questions, please post them at our Support Forums.

Hi,

I am using this theme and i want to add Google analytic tracking code.

Can you tell me how i can add the Google analytic code to my site using this theme?

Hey. You should add Google Analytics in Appearance > Theme Settings > Header Code.

For further assistance and support, please use our Support Forums.

Thanks.

omg this is such a beautiful theme with many growth opportunities! what are some of the upgrades/add-ons you are looking for add in the next update?

Is there a “white” version of this theme?

Hey. Glad to know you like the theme.

We’re constantly updating the theme with new features as you can see in our update history. For the next few releases, many features are planned to make users life easier. A farther future release of e-commerce integration is planned.

There is a light skin pre-packaged with the theme that doesn’t have the dark blue navigation, footer and sidebar headings. They’re shades of gray.

Cheers.

Hi, It is a nice theme. I want to ask whether it is possible to display “search” on smartphone and tablet. thanks wij

Yes, second-levels menus in category mega-menu work fine and appear on mouse-over. Although we don’t recommend that as further sub-menus in category mega-menus can be confusing to users.

Bought the theme.

Thanks for your purchase. If you have any support questions or need help, feel free to post them at our Support Forums.

Have a good day.

Great theme! I am very interested on it. Some pre-sale questions:

I see 3 advertising banners at homepage. Can be more banners added easily? Can manage different banners at different sections or articles (from different sponsors)?

Can i add e-commerce capabilities easily with basic plugins or something like that? (I will need an small e-shop in the magazine i plan to start with this theme)

(I am not very experienced in wordpress, just posting a basic blog, and managing joomla and prestahop sites. Sorry if the questions are a bit obvious.)

Hi. Glad to know you like the theme.

1. Yes. You can add more banners using the page-builder for pages and by using one of the recommended plugins for adding more ads to posts.

2. This theme does not include styling for a shop. If you do use a shop plugin, the styling will be the basic styling from the e-commerce plugin itself. In other words, there’s no official shop/e-commerce design integration at the moment.

No issues whether you’re new user or an experienced user. We encourage asking questions. It’s better to know the facts before-hand and have the right expectations.

Thanks for your interest. Have a great day.

Thanks for the quick response. Do you offer customization service by request (extra paid service, i mean)? For example, to make a graphical integration with the style and responsive behavior for an e-shop plugin.

Yes. If you would like to get more information, please email us via our Profile.

Cheers

Hey,

Can i add a metabox for a button on the single page without breaking the responsive layout? Its for an affiliate website.

Hey. Do you wish to add a box below the post content on the single page? If the box doesn’t specify width explicitly, it will work just fine on the responsive too.

If you could link to the plugin/widget you’re going to be using, we could offer a more assuring reply. But most of the similar widgets/plugins work just fine.

Cheers.

No issues with that. That plugin uses WordPress standard filters and SmartMag is fully compatible with that kind of standard usage. Further it seems like the plugin does not add any custom width to break the layout so will work just fine.

Cheers

Hi, the latest update seems to have crashed the site see below:

Warning: require_once(/home/xxxxxxx/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bunyad-widgets/widgets/widget-bbp-login.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/xxxxxxx/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bunyad-widgets/bunyad-widgets.php on line 29

Any ideas how to fix, the entire site is down and showing this message

Thanks

Matt

It was very important for this release to de-activate and delete the older “Bunyad Widget” plugin first.

We created a topic on it in advance in our Support Forums: http://theme-sphere.com/forums/topic/version-1-5-0-white-screen-errors/

I hope this helps.

Thanks.

Hi, bought the theme however when trying to register on the support forums i get an error stating “Sorry, but that item purchase code has already been registered with another account. Please login to that account to continue, or create a new account with another purchase code.”

I think i am using the purchase code found on the statement right? Please help or let me know if i am doing something wrong?

Sorry to hear your purchase code isn’t working. Please email it to us via our Profile and we’ll see what’s wrong.

Thanks for your patience.

Thanks for the reply i have sent the email.

I just bought this theme, and i need to translate it to Portuguese, but in the translation folder, only have one file smart-mag.pot ( that i could not open because the file is damaged), where is the .po file?

Hey decao. Thanks for your purchase.

The .pot file is what’s used for translations and we made sure it’s not damaged. If it’s being detected as damaged, please try extracting it again from the main zip file.

Please open the .pot file using PoEdit: http://www.poedit.net/ . You will be able to generate a .mo file then. I am assuming you have already read this: http://theme-sphere.com/smart-mag/documentation/#internalization

If you’re still having troubles, please create a topic at our Support Forums.

Thanks.

The problem, was that when i double clicked in the file, power point, tried to open it. So i openned with poedit and it worked! So thanks. Where can i translate the Breadcrumb? Because there’s no “You are At” on the .pot file.

That was one missing string in the current version. We intend to add it to the next update coming in 48 hours.

For now, you can follow the guidance here: http://theme-sphere.com/forums/topic/spanish/#post-672

Thanks.
