Hi, The three boxes next to the slider …. How I can configure it to be a image and link to a page?

Regards

Hey Marvin,

That’s not a default feature. Please create a topic at our Support Forums.

Thanks for buying.

Hi. Where is the forum from the demo page? There is non on my page.

Hey Danny,

You have to install and activate the bbPress plugin first. Forums are optional for obvious reasons. Once that’s done, configure your forums: http://theme-sphere.com/smart-mag/documentation/#bbpress

How do I make the homepage slider image not zoom in?

Also can I make it so it’s just one image, and it doesn’t slide? I’d like the homepage slider to just be an image, and still have the two blocks on the right side.

Thanks in advance.

Hey,

Here’s how you can disable the slider zoom effect: http://theme-sphere.com/forums/topic/image-zoom-on-roll-over/#post-135

For your second question, please create a topic at our support forums and we’ll help you customize it. And for further support, please create a topic at our Support Forums.

Thanks for buying. Have a good day.

Hi, this is a pre-sale question.

I would like to install woocommerce along with your theme. Do you have any plans on including it natively with your code?

Thanks.

Hey.

We’re working on it and it shall be included in a future update. We cannot mention the release date yet, but to answer your question, yes. It will be included natively in future. Follow us on twitter to be notified when we have it.

Cheers.

Hello, before you buy the theme I would like to ask you questions. 1) You can enter the text within a category? 2) There is a character limit? 3) Where will you place the text? Under the slide? Close to the sidebar?

I could see an example of text in a category?

Thanks for the support.

Hey again,

The “Vogue” (a sub-category of Entertainment) is just a category label. This category (“Entertainment”) has a “Category Slider” enabled which shows 8 posts (5 on left, 3 on right) – you can choose either to show latest posts or mark with “Featured Slider Post?” for each post.

We understand it can be a little confusing as our demo was created to show many possibilities in few places.

Have a good day.

If I have a category with 3 items and the slide enabled, as you can see on the right side?

Cannot completely understand the question. If you only have 3 posts in a category, you will only see 3 posts on left-side. You can disable the category slider for that category. The category slider is manually enabled for each category.

Dear Admin,

Quick pre-sales question : If i purchase This themes and then import smartmag-sample.xml. Can i got same Page Builder like demo page ?

Thanks before :)

Hey.

Images are copyrighted by owners so are not included so next step would be to set real images for your posts. The imported media is just placeholder gray rectangle images.

You will get all the pagebuilder pages but you will have to setup sidebar widgets by following documentation (we have mentioned which 4 widgets are in the sidebar).

Thanks. See you around.

Have you tested it with OptimizePress2.0 plugin & OP2 membership plugin?

Thanks.

Hey daohuan,

We haven’t tested them yet but if you need them to be pre-tested, we can schedule a time to do a simple test on them. We don’t usually take testing requests but they look like interesting plugins.

If you would like to go ahead, please email us through our profile with what you want to be tested.

Thanks.

Hi,

1. I have some Chinese social media login plugin. Will they be integrated with your comment system?

2. Regarding BBpress forum login, can they be replaced with Chinese social media login, from your estimation?

3. Same thing with social share. Will they work with Chinese one?

4. Is this theme work with Polylang? Is translation ready?

Thank you.

Hey,

1. Which plugin is it? The language doesn’t matter but if a plugin misbehaves, it will not work. Fortunately, there are many plugins available to choose from.

2. If you have a plugin you can use that for login but you will have to disable our login system and use the plugin’s login system instead.

3. You can see the default social share buttons available on the demo. It will work with all those whether they’re Chinese.

4. Yes. It uses all the WordPress’s default translation methods. It hasn’t been tested with Polylang yet, but it’s fully compatible with WPML.

Have a good day.

Hi,

1. http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-connect/ <—they started selling paid version (I intend to use) and stopped developing this free version. They are totally Chinese though.

2. I just wonder how their login interface will look like. Is it totally depending on their design i.e. to be a sidebar widget?

3. Again, I wonder how they will appear. Will your theme influence how they appear or will it just leave a blank space for the plugin?

Thanks.

Hey,

1. Sorry but it’s fully Chinese so we cannot confirm if it will work or not.

2. Plugins sometimes use their own styling and sometimes rely on theme styling. If it includes a widget, it will use theme’s sidebar styling as normal for headings and spacing but we cannot confirm about anything else.

3. Same as above.

Thanks.

Hey,

We haven’t fully tested it yet, but it should work. But the changes you’re referring to will have to be applied in the relevant files in bbpress/ folder of SmartMag. Another fact is that you will have to use the login system of that plugin if you intend to use it – not the built-in one you see on demo.

Cheers.

Great but, Can I use this theme in Arabic sites? So, Does this theme support Rtl sites?

This one: http://www.womenrealm.com/

Hey,

Yes the theme does support RTL. We know of a few users using it on Arabic sites but we don’t have a full Arabic translation yet. You will have to translate it yourself.

Cheers.

I can’t get the slider working on my frontpage. It works in all my categories. But the frontpage is a custom menu. I can’t find the option. Where to set up the slider for your custom homepage? Thank you.

Hello,

I put video post in several categories then I realized that there is two problems relevant to video displaying.

One is sticky menu doesn’t show up over the video screen part.

Second one is the title of post part has funny space.

Please check capture image link below:

http://www.oiac.org/wp5/capture/C-55.jpg

How can I fix this?

Second question is about sidebar for category.

I created custom sidebars for categories then I can’t add it for each category even I set it ‘By category’ on ‘Default Sidebars’ tap page in ‘Custom sidebars’ setting page.

Thanks.

Hey,

1. For your sticky navigation menu issue, you have to get the correct embed code as explained here: http://theme-sphere.com/forums/topic/youtube-video-page-hide-menu/#post-1830

2. Try the method mentioned under “Using on categories, archive” : http://theme-sphere.com/smart-mag/documentation/#custom-sidebars

Also ensure that you have enabled sidebar layout (not full width) for this category by editing the category itself.

If it doesn’t work or for further support, please create a topic at our Support Forums. Support is offered through the Forums. Please include your site URL in a private reply so that developers at forums can assist you better.

Thanks.

Thank you for prompt response.

The custom sidebar on category works now. Thanks

Hiding a navigation menu under the video part is still unsolved and I think I have to take a time for it.

Thanks.

The link for the instructions on how to update the theme doesn’t work.

Hey,

You have to register at the Support Forums before you can access it.

Cheers.

Hello,

I want use different sidebar for each pages than I have no idea how can I put the customized sidebar for pages, post or categories.

I checked the documentation and it says

‘To use this plugin, go to Appearance > Widgets and Create a new sidebar. Once you’re done creating a sidebar, it will be available to be used on pages and posts.’

Then I can’t use customized sidebar after create a new sidebar.

Please help me.

Where can I find selecting option of custom sidebar that I create on the widget page?

Oh, I found the way in forum.

‘After you have created a Custom Sidebar, go to Appearance > Custom Sidebars and under “Replaceable Sidebars” select Main Sidebar.’

Thanks.

Hello, Maybe this has been covered, but I wanted ask about megamenu. Can anything be put into a menu? Outgoing links in several columns?

Regards.

Hey.

There are two types of mega menus you can see in the Demo. For example, the one under “Features” – you can add any links here you want – external or local doesn’t matter.

The second example is under Entertainment. That requires category to be the top-level item – the links to the left-side can be anything though.

Cheers.

Thank you. Purchase will be made soon.

Hey,

I have a pre-sale question.

Does this theme come with the option for my users to rate cuisines (we have a website with recipes)?

Sincerely, Mika

Great! So, if I add a recipe image to the article image section, then it might show on google as the rich snippet? :-)

Exactly. Also known as “Google In-Depth Search”

Perfect, thanks a lot :-D

Hey! very nice theme. I really interested to your theme and want to buy it. but is there any RTL support on this theme?

thanks :)

Hey,

Yes RTL support and translation features are fully available.

Cheers.

Hi: i show the DEMO…site looks very nice… i have few questions b4 purchase ?

1) My site/each posts will contains lots of images … i dont need light box pop up for each images ..so can i disable the light box feature in post body? 2) Which Image re sizer are you using ? timtumb ? or …? 3)can i disable some widgets or IDs on on different devices (PC/mobile/Pad)...coz i need some widgets(IDs) to show in desktop,& at same time that widget must hide on mobile and PAD?

Thanks

Hey Haazi,

1. Yes, can be done.Please check forums after buying.

2. WordPress has its own image resizing and using any other resizer is a bad practice these days. We use the Standard WordPress Thumbnails.

3. Yes. With Dynamic Widgets plugin, you can control where your widgets display. Restrict Widget also does the same.

Thanks. Looking forward to having you as a buyer.

I have purchased this theme and installed. However I don’t seem to have the social sharing buttons at the bottom of my posts and there are no social icons on the Author bios.

Thanks

Hey,

Social Sharing buttons are only displayed on single posts (not pages). About the author social icons, you have to edit the author’s profile in WordPress and set the fields for social icons.

If that’s not the issue and for further support, please create a topic at our Support Forums.

Thanks.
