Hi,

Just have two questions before purchase. Can I choose left sidebar in homepage, and can I set the menu “fixed”?

Thanks!

Hey,

SmartMag by default only comes with Right Sidebar. But you can replace the right sidebar with a left sidebar by adding this CSS to your Theme Settings: http://theme-sphere.com/forums/topic/sidebar-position/#post-290 (visible once registered).

Regarding your “fixed” menu question, please check the “Sticky Navigation” feature on demo. Is that what you are looking for?

Cheers.

Hello,

I’d like to know if it is possible to custom a category the same way you can custom a page (with the drag and drop tool which is great !).

My goal is to put a “News focus block” in the category (it would display the sub cat + the post of the category that is selected).

Thanks henri

Hey Henri,

Page builder cannot be used for default category archives but our users have often mapped their categories to pages using “Redirection” plugin. For further info and support, please create a topic at our Support Forums.

Cheers.

I’ve got another question regarding the header. I’d like to use an image as background in the header and therefore I want to increase the height of the header space, so that I could use a bigger image. Could you help me out again please? :)

Hey Shizuda,

Sure. Please get in touch with support by creating a topic at our Support Forums. Please make sure to mention your desired height.

Cheers.

Hi, I’ve got your theme installed and am in the process of setting it up. The only issue I seem to be having is the leaderboard ad. I use ad rotate and your theme won’t pick up the short code or the php snippet that ad rotate provides me for the ad group in the box you provide for that spot on your options.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hey,

Shortcodes work better when using the Advertisement widget for the Leaderboard Ad. If you’re using a version older than 1.5, please update to latest version: http://theme-sphere.com/forums/topic/updating-your-theme-to-a-new-version/

If the problem persists, please create a topic at our Support Forums with a link to your site in a private reply.

Thanks.

Hi, I implemented the theme and everything’s fine except for one thing. Yesterday I changed the theme-color of the theme in Design -> Theme Settings -> Style & Color but today it changed back to its default color and whenever I change it to another color the color on the blog won’t change while it says in settings that it’s changed.

And I have one more question. Is it possible to add some kind of Twitter Widget which can be placed e.g. in the right sidebar or the large footer and shows recent tweets?

Hey Shizuda,

1. That error is usually caused when you change the Blog URL and one of your installations is giving a 404 Error on main page. If you cannot figure it out, our technical support should be able to precisely figure out a solution for your issue.

2. You can use any of the Twitter widget plugins available on WordPress. You can even use Twitter’s default Embedded Timelines.

Please get in touch with support by creating a topic at our Support Forums. Make sure to provide a link to your site in a private reply (for your first issue).

Cheers.

Dear ThemeSphere,

I tried many times to buy this theme but I can’t. They have 2 options 1. Add Credit to Buy 2. Buy now PayPal.

I have chosen both of options. But says something displayed “Error” messages.

The message is: ” We’re sorry, but we can’t send your payment right now Return to merchant and try a different payment method We are not able to process your payment using your PayPal account at this time. Please return to the merchant’s website and try using a different payment method (if available) “

My PayPal account is everything’s fine.

How can I buy this theme. Is it possible to directly using Visa Card?

Regards,

Manduk

Hey Manduk,

Sorry to hear you’re experiencing troubles with the payment. Please contact Envato Support and they will sort it out for you: http://support.envato.com/index.php?/Tickets/Submit

Thanks. Have a good day.

hello, i like your theme, and i was wondering if its possible to make it RTL i mean the hole theme

Hey,

The whole theme already does support RTL and the relevant CSS etc. automatically adapts when RTL mode is active.

Cheers.

Thank You theme. Nice work!

Glad to know you like the theme. Thanks.

hi i was wondering . I found this theme on another site . But when i see a post on that site i can click like next on the picture on an arrow so i can see 15 pictures of that post . The page reloads then ( good for ads ) yesimbored.com <== this site . Is that standard in the theme or not ?

Anyway . i bought the theme but if i could get an update on where to change that for a custom icon to have that would be great .

Did you try the NextGen gallery?

To get some suggestion for adding the icons, please create a topic at our Support Forums.

Thanks for the purchase.

i used <!nextpage> because that was what i actualy looked for . That is set . But i made a topic on the support forum

Hi, I’ll ask one more question. I can’t displayed News Focus Block. I was read yours documentation and choosed parent category on “Writings>Category’. After I am go to the “Pages>Home Page>Page Builder” and Click on “Highlights Block”. After I select the parent category and 2 columns. I choosed my parent category of first column. But I can’t continue. You are said that “By default all sub-categories under this category will be displayed in tabs. You can choose your own sub-categories by ticking them manually.” But I can’t choose my own sub-categories. What should I do?

Hey,

Are you running SmartMag v1.5.2? In older versions, there was an issue where categories with 0 posts weren’t listed at all – you had to create at least one post.

If that’s not the issue or for further support, please create a topic at our Support Forums so that the technical support can assist you. In this case, also include your site URL and admin info in a private reply.

Thanks.

Wish you had an HTML version! :)

Wish we had more hours in the day to make that possible. In future, hopefully. We’re fully committed to improving the core product, i.e. WordPress version at the moment.

And thanks for buying.

Do you guys have an ETA on the next update? I;m sure like a lot of people who are loving this theme they have a few tweaks/hacks they would like to do but are putting them off hoping they show up in the next update :) Keep up the good work…

Hey,

“Soon” is all we can say at the moment – but the next major update is going to include mainly WooCommerce integration and minor improvements. There will be hopefully two major updates this month.

Cheers.

Dear Author,

I would like to ask you that is font support Cyrillic characters?

Kind regards,

Hey Manduk,

Yes – it can be enabled from Theme Settings > Typography. Both the default fonts support cryllic characters.

Cheers.

Hi, I can’t add slider. I want to add slider. What can I do?

Thanks.

Hey,

First, please create a homepage by following the documentation and then Set a slider. Once that’s done, if selected the 2nd option in slider, you will have to mark 8 posts as “Featured Slider Post?” (shown as an option while creating or editing a post).

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

Cheers.

How would I use this with WooTumblog and what would it look like, appearance-wise?

Hey,

We haven’t tested WooTumblog with SmartMag as there hasn’t been any demand yet. Please note that is an advanced plugin that requires you to make many code edits – as mentioned in the Help section of that plugin. So if you do have some experience in being able to edit the code, we should be able to assist you. If not, setting it up might not be possible.

It will mostly look the same as the default category listing templates but with added icons.

Thanks for your interest. Have a good day.

Hi, i can’t see where exactly to add my social media links and the plugin for my users email subscription. Please help. But i love everything with the theme except the two that i cant yet figure out. Please assist.

Thanks

Hey Wanyingo,

Please check Top Bar Section in Documentation for social media links.

Please create a topic at our Support Forums with details about which plugin you’re using for your users email subscription and where you want to add it.

Thanks.

Hi!

about samle data , is this exactly demo at http://themeforest.net/item/smartmag-responsive-retina-wordpress-magazine/full_screen_preview/6652608 , i’m not good to control wp-admin if samle data not exactly (user interface , forums, mega menu …). i want to know before decide

Hey,

The sample data will not include images but you can import placeholders instead (gray background images). Sidebar Widgets & Forums Sample data is not included but it’s pretty simple to setup and it’s all covered in the documentation. Everything else is included. You can check the Documentation and decide. We have had totally new WordPress users who didn’t have any problems.

Cheers.

Hi,

I love the theme first of. But when i share my site on facebook, the link FB creates does not include my logo, or the image i have set for Opengraph. It just selects 2/3 randome images from the front page.

Where/how do i set one perticular image i want to be shared for the frontpage?

The posts work perfectly, when i share these, then the correct images show up.

Regards Kenan

The site is “sosoothe.com”

Hey Kenan,

The OpenGraph plugins usually work, but if they don’t, you can try other plugins like “Facebook Thumb Fixer”. For further support and better plugin suggestions, please create a topic at our Support Forums so that the support staff can assist you.

Cheers.

Hello, Is it possible, for the homepage, to use all the width like in this screenshot : http://imgur.com/EAxNaeE (it seems all homepage blocks are in 2 columns) Thank you

Hey,

By default, that behavior is done only on full-width page but advanced usage is certainly possible. While the page-builder adds the smart adapting blocks (small 2 columns with sidebar, larger 2 columns on full-width), you can definitely use a simple shortcode to make it single column. The shortcodes are explained in documentation for advanced usage, but if you get stuck, you can always ask support at forums to assist you.

Cheers.

Thank you very much. Everything seems fine, so I will ask my friend to buy your theme :)

Excuse me, But I can’t find page builder…how to install page builder?

Hey,

The Page Builder should be visible when you add a new page from Pages > Add New. It will be on the left side of “Visual” and “Text” tab above the post editor. If it’s not visible, please reply with your admin info and site URL in a private reply.

If not, go to Appearance > Install Plugins and install the recommended plugins.

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

Cheers.

thanks for support
