Hi. There can be a few possible reasons. If you are running an older version of SmartMag – 2 versions back, it used a CSS loading mechanism that had issues with some hosts. In that case, please upgrade: http://theme-sphere.com/forums/topic/updating-your-theme-to-a-new-version/

Second, your theme folder must be wp-content/themes/smart-mag.

If that doesn’t fix your issue and for further support, please create a topic at our Support Forums.

Thanks.

According to your specs, all the posts that are selected to be featured in the slidebar on the homepage shouldn’t be presented in the featured section (with 3 latest posts) just right of the slider.

Unfortunately I cannot make this happen, all of the slider featured news are also placed on the right as well. Any workaround?

Hey.

Just to clarify, the featured content area in SmartMag consists of 8 posts. 5 of these posts are displayed in the slider, while 3 of them are displayed right next to the slider in a post grid. The posts are sorted by date.

There are other options available too, which you can explore in this section: http://theme-sphere.com/smart-mag/documentation/#other-settings

If that doesn’t answer your question or for further support, please create a topic at our Support Forums.

Thanks.

Hi there! I bought the theme to work on for a client, and it’s absolutely great! I do have a quick question though. When looking at the live preview example on Theme Forest, the header and logo image are laid out quite nicely. When I add an image to the header section, it comes out looking out of sync.

The website is http://www.getformr.com

I’m made the ad image to the pixel specs of the live preview.

Thoughts?

Hey. Glad to know you like the theme.

For the advertisement on right-side in header, simply use an “Advertisement” widget instead of the “Text” widget. It will align just like the demo then.

For further support, please create a topic at our Support Forums.

Cheers.

Beautiful! Not sure how I missed that!

Thanks again! Awesome work.

Homepage loading freeze – hompage seems it is freezed before all contents are loaded on Chrome. I tried with other computer and it is same. Do you think it is related to theme? I run many WP sites, but I don’t have any issue with them at all. Please advise.

Hey.

If your text is not being displayed, this was caused by a conflict with Chrome 33 update and FitVids.js. To fix it, please upgrade to version 1.5.1: http://theme-sphere.com/forums/topic/updating-your-theme-to-a-new-version/

For further support, please create a topic at our Support Forums. Thanks.

Thank you for the quick reply!!!

Hi there,

Purchased your themes and everything works fine except I can’t navigate the menus via mobile (Samsung Note II). Its just stated NAVIGATE and nothing happen when I touched the screen.

Is there anything I’ve missed, setting or configuration?

Hey.

If you aren’t already on the latest version (1.5.1), please upgrade by following the instructions here: http://theme-sphere.com/forums/topic/updating-your-theme-to-a-new-version/

Hi there,

I downloaded the updated theme to update my website from the previous version of SmartMag but when I activate it all I get is a white page and I am unable to get the the dashboard again so I have to restore my website from a backup. So not sure what is happening?

Thanks, gee

Hey.

The error occurs if you do not de-activate/delete the Bunyad Widgets plugin and you’re upgrading from a version older than 1.5.0. Please follow the steps here: http://theme-sphere.com/forums/topic/updating-your-theme-to-a-new-version/

For further support, please create a topic at our Support Forums.

Thanks.

This is a great theme and some good work has gone into this. Many want to integrate a responsive e-commerce soln. can you advise anything that works with this for e-commerce . many thanks

bo

The responsiveness will not be good enough and you may have to style a lot of places yourself to look good. So, honestly, it’s not a good option. Again, we cannot recommend using SmartMag with a shop until we have our official native integration ready.

Thanks.

thanks i like it so much i will research it and then an offsite payment! when do u see it being ecommerce ready. thanks for your speed and honesty bo

We cannot mention any estimates in public yet as any unexpected delays can cause disappointment amongst users. If you would like to know about the our rough estimate, you can email us through our profile.

I want to ask a couple questions…

  • Can I use top bar as menu? (For example: About, Contact etc.)
  • Can we change site title as site logo?

Also, I sent an e-mail about Turkish translation.

Hey.

1. Yes you can use a menu in the top bar (on the left side – or right for RTL).

2. Yes.

We’ll get back to you about Turkish translation.

Cheers.

Hello, I have purchased this theme and tried registering on your forum site, and have tried a couple of time with a few hours in between waiting for my username / password to be email to be so i can log into the forums.

I’m have a problem with the theme where by the theme settings are just displaying a white panel, it loads the page but there is nothing there.

I have tried reinstalling the theme and still end up with the same result, and also tried re-downloading the theme encase it was a bad download.

Can I get any help.

Many thanks for your help and support.

Hey. Thanks for the purchase and sorry to hear about the trouble registering at the forum. Have you checked the Spam folder?

We haven’t yet come across the problem you’re having, but if you could email us your admin info and your site url, we’ll check it out for you. Please go to Our Profile here and you will see “Email ThemeSphere”.

Thanks.

Hi, thank you for your reply.

I have sent you an email. Is it possible to receive the username and password manually. I have checked my Junk Mail Folder.

Many thanks for your help.

Sure. We have replied your email.

Is it possible for the next update, which is compatible with WooCommerce and have a custom shop in the magazine?

Hey.

Full native WooCommerce support will be added in future, but it’s not going to be the next update. This question was answered in more details at our Forums: http://theme-sphere.com/forums/topic/woocommerce/

Thanks. Have a good day.

Hello, I like this theme.

I have the questions about this theme.

1) Can I make a background slider just like link below on this theme? No matter which way to make this either installing other plugins or adding some custom code on CSS and jQuery files. Actually, I tried on other WP theme before but I couldn’t make it. It is very important issue of my current project. So please answer this question very carefully.
http://www.opensocietyfoundations.org

2) Is there log in page that has ‘contact with social profile’ option just like link below or can I add this function on the theme?
http://themes.iki-bir.com/slowave/full/login.html

3) Is this theme made by Ajax based? because some plugins doesn’t work well on Ajax based template.

It would be appreciated your answer.

Thanks.

1. Sorry but a frame-base full-page background slider will not be possible.

2. Not by default, but can be done by using a plugin.

3. It’s not Ajax based.

Thanks for your interest. Have a good day.

Hello,

Today i buy your theme. Great theme, but i can’t fix one strange problem. I can’t create menu for my blog http://captureonestyles.com All settings are correct (Appearance – Customize, Appearance – Menus) , menu must be here, but it is not! How to fix this problem?

Hello. Thanks for your purchase.

Please ensure that you followed all the steps here, under “Creating a new menu”: http://theme-sphere.com/smart-mag/documentation/#setup-navigation

It’s common to miss step 4 but it’s needed for main navigation setup.

Hope this helps. If you have any further questions, please use our Support Forums.

Have a good day.

Hi,

Where can I find change log for update theme, so I know what is actually updated and what need to be deleted/deactivated?

cheers

Hey. The Changelog can be seen in the item page itself at the bottom: http://themeforest.net/item/smartmag-responsive-retina-wordpress-magazine/6652608

Cheers.

Please help me out here, I love everything so far, except I can’t figure out how to get content in this section like in your demo theme…

I have uploaded a screenshot here: http://lukestrothman.com/images/lukestechtips1.png

Hey. Please read this section of documentation: http://theme-sphere.com/smart-mag/documentation/#other-settings

Basically, you need to have at least 8 posts marked for featured slider. Or you can select a separate category/tag for it in Theme Settings.

If you need further assistance, please create a topic at our Support Forums. All support is handled through forums.

Thanks for buying. Have a good day.

Hi – I’m also getting a 404 error on some post pages after I create them- not all, but some. You said in a previous post this is a ‘host’ error? Can you explain? I haven’t touched the permalinks. Thanks.

posts, not pages

The 404 error mentioned earlier was for content import. It should not happen on pages. While, it’s very unlikely to be related to the theme itself, we can help you troubleshoot.

Please post a topic about it at Support Forums with a link to your site and any additional info necessary.

Thanks.

Hello I know you have a support forum and may add a ticket soon, but just wanted to ask here instead of registering on the forum.

I have installed an older version of this on my website http://freedomhacker.net/ Then when I go to update, or install the new version of the theme, it gives me an error with the bunyad-widgets plugin code on the old site. If I remove it and reinstall the bunyad-widgets, the whole website breaks and turns into an html page.

Do you know why the older bunyad-widgets plugin is breaking the site, but a reinstall of it breaks the site even further? This only happens with the updated version of the theme.

I may need to enter a ticket, but didn’t know if anyone else had this problem.

Thank you!

The 1.5.0 update requires de-activating and deleting the older Bunyad Widgets plugin as there were some major changes from the previous version. Once that’s done you perform the theme upgrade, you will be prompted to install Bunyad Widgets again.

If that doesn’t fix your issue, please read the topic we have about it at our forums and follow update steps in the order: http://theme-sphere.com/forums/topic/version-1-5-0-white-screen-errors/

Should you require further assistance, please create a topic at our Support Forums and we’ll troubleshoot the issue for you.

Cheers.

Hello! I’ve installed your theme and added bunyard recent posts plugin. I added some tabs and when I try to click on them I got an error in my debug console: unrecognized expression: #recent-tab-..... The problem is that I use russian language for tab names. When I use english it works perfectly, but what to do with russian language? Need help. Thanks :)

Hey.

Please create a post about it at our Support Forums and we’ll solve the issue for you.

Thanks.

Hey.

Yes, you can use Text based logo – i.e. name of blog.

Cheers.
