Hi. I’ve purchased the theme about a month and a half ago. I’m trying to change the colors from Admin>Appearance>Styles & Colors but it doesn’t change any color at all. The changes are saved and shown at the backend but obviously not shown at the frontend. I have to make the changes manually through the style.css file. Shouldn’t the changes made through the admin area be saved and shown at the frontend as well? Is there a bug with this version of smartmag? I would really appreciate a heads up on this matter. Thank you.

Regards, J.

Hey Rusel,

One of common issue is that when users run two copies of WordPress – one in root and one in a directory like /wordpress/. And then they set the the site URL of root to /wordpress/ which serves all the CSS and assets from from the sub-directory. That causes an issue if the main page on the sub-directory (/wordpress/) in this case, gives a 404 Not Found error.

‘Purchase code’ Where can I find it?

Nice Theme, I am very happy with it. I was able to configure 99% of the theme without help. I have one issue I can’t solve.

How do I control (change categories) of the slider in the Home Page (Advance) template, located in the first block of the “Main Home” page.

Thanks in advance, Robert

Hey Robert,

Glad to know you were able to configure it without issues.

When you edit your home-page, there are two slider options. The first uses posts you manually marked as “Featured Slider Post?”, whereas the second option shows the most recent posts automatically.

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

Thanks. Have a good day.

Great!,

Thanks for the quick reply. Took a look and it is as you mentioned. I can see how to control this feature now.Thanks again.

Continued Success, Robert

Hi, I saw that your website with SmartMag is very speed optimized, how can i get this too? Please take a look http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/#!/6tJZi/angorussia.com

Hey,

it seems either your webhost is a little slow, one of the plugins is slow, or there are too many plugins. SmartMag executes within less than 1 second on most webhosts but it’s taking longer there.

A cache plugin is generally not really necessary, but in your situation, you must add a cache plugin like W3 Total Cache – that will greatly improve your load times. If that doesn’t help, please create a topic at our Support Forums with your admin info (in a private reply) and we’ll check it out for you.

Cheers.

Hi ThemeSphere Team,

It is mentioned on item details that Article schema support is added but when I have added my website to websmater it shows the following message:

We do not detect any structured data on your site.

Hey Sunil,

Webmaster tools isn’t live and can take up to weeks to update. Meanwhile, to confirm your structured data is working, please use Google’s Rich Snippet Testing Tool. Check your single articles with it to confirm Article schema.

if it’s not working as intended, please get in touch with support. For further support, please create a topic at our Support Forums.

Thanks.

Already purchased your item. I hope nothing problem but so far is good. Love all your work :)

Hey.

Glad to know everything’s good so far. If you get stuck, feel free to create a topic at our Support Forums.

Thanks for buying. Cheers.

This is a great looking theme, but I have a question about images if you don’t mind before I go ahead and buy it – how are images added to articles in this theme?

Is there an easy way to show the image author and a link to the author with each photograph? For example, we currently use Wordpress captions to add images, as in this link – http://bit.ly/1gLtLy2 – can we do something similar with this theme?

Thanks

Hey,

1. The default featured images do not include captions but there’s a small modification available at support forums to achieve that – it will be added as default feature in future version. Or you can continue using the same method as in your current theme by disabling the default featured area via Theme Settings and using your image + caption method instead.

2. Trending is just a label. The posts shown there are latest news. You can change the label to anything such as Latest, Fresh In etc.

Cheers.

Hi,

I’ve bought the theme and registered on the ThemeSphere support forums (same username), but I can’t find this modification for captions – could you point me in the right direction please?

Thanks

It seems like you have already got in touch with tech support at forums and your forum topic was replied too. If there are any other questions, please feel free to continue the discussion on forums.

Cheers.

I have a question. The Page Builder button doesn’t appear next to the Visual and Text buttons in the Page Edit screen. What am I doing wrong? Where can I enable or fix this?

Hey,

When you activate the theme, it recommends you to activate few plugins. If you skipped that, go to Appearance > Install Plugins and activate all the recommended plugins.

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

Thanks.

hi, I just bought it, and I use Polylang. I cannot create two different homepage, the layout that is built using Page Builder gets synchronized between the two versions…even if I deactivate Polylang’s custom fiels synchronization.

thanks!

Hey Razique,

We officially support WPML for this purpose so that will be the best option for multi-lingual sites. Try with support at forums and see if you can get any pointers for Polylang plugin. Please create a topic at our Support Forums.

Thanks.

Oh well, I’ve hundred of pages translated through Polylang. Simplest fix I found is simply create two pages and not link them, and using a 301 redirect fr.site.com -> fr.site.com/acc and en.site.com -> en.site.com/home works :)

So, those who are wondering, here are my rules : http://pastie.org/8989025 Note the QUERY_STRING; otherwise the search no longer works since we redirect to the pages

I purchased SmartMag a couple of days ago and am enjoying working with this theme – great job.

I just came across an issue. My feature image (on a page) is cropped off at the right side. The image is 1440×672. Here is an link to a screenshot – https://www.dropbox.com/s/71jy3iym2jx95jx/SmartMag_Feature_Image.PNG

I see the issue – s/b 1404 not 1440! Sorry!

Hey,

Glad to know you’re enjoying the theme and got your issue sorted. If you still need support or have more questions, please create a topic at our Support Forums.

Cheers.

Pre purchase question. I know this sounds dumb, but can I make ordinary webpages with simple text (incl. home page) and then have a section for my blog. I want to make corporate site – I have looked at all of the templates and this one really is the best.

Thanks Terrance

Thanks for your response. I want to add my own pages with text between the header and footer. For example, a page on services, about us, loan types etc. Much like a standard corporate website and then a blog section. Hope that makes sense.

Hey,

There aren’t any special blocks (such as meet the team or portfolio) available for Corporate sites as it’s a magazine theme. You can definitely create the pages and you can use normal text and Common Shortcodes. But if that doesn’t cover your requirements, then you will have to consider some other Corporate-specific theme.

Have a good day.

Thanks very much

How do I change the google font link of open-sans in the ?bunyad_custom_css link? I wanna change it to https

Hey,

It should have auto-detect it. If not, please file a bug report by creating a topic at our Support Forums.

Hello, Is it possible to put a video (youtube) instead of a “featured image” in the posts ? So in the homepage we can directly play videos instead of clicking in the post to enter the page and watch the video.

Thank you

Hey,

By default featured videos are only shown on single post due to performance reasons. You can use “Featured Video Plus” plugin to embed them in other places though.

Cheers.

Hi, I want to buy this theme but I have a problem. My language is Turkish. Is this theme support Turkish? Thanks.

Hey,

RTL and internalization / translation is fully supported but you will have to make the translation yourself.

Cheers.

Hey, Pre-sales question: My friend recommended me this theme for my new Android blog, and I noticed that the thumbnail sizes differ post by post. In the highlight feature type post or any other type, the thumbnail sizes isn’t static (i.e. all thumbnails 250×250px, and so on). Is that feature in the settings i.e., to have a specific thumbnail size? Can we do that with a plugin? If no, I would not be satisfied as looks and speed is my first priority right now.

Hey,

There thumbnails in the demo are pretty consistent in all the blocks. Obviously due to aesthetics reasons and design decisions, the sidebar and footer widgets thumbnails have a different size. If you aren’t referring to the demo, it’s mostly the thumbnails had to be generated but the user skipped that step on the installation.

Cheers.

hi, i already bought it. and where i can find purchase code to register?
