Hello! Working to get JW Player to work with YouTube videos, however no combination of settings in the theme or in YouTube import plugin seem to affect anything.

All YouTube videos are imported using the URL, via the plugin.

Thanks for your help!

No, it’s not possible. JW is used in case of self-hosted video only

Roger that. Thank you!

Hello,

I get your theme and like it. But I need your help urgently. How can I transfer my 800 videos from my previous site? It’s too important for me cus that will be hard to do it manuelly.

Waiting your response, Levent.

Hi,

I’m afraid it’s not possible. Which theme/software do you use on your previous site?

I use wordpress and the theme is created by a developer. http://www.glassvideo.tv We should find a way to it.

Hi,

I’m afraid you will need to ask your developer to convert previous data into TrueMag-supported format

Pre-Purchase Question:

Can we open the video without opening a new page? I want to watch it on the homepage. What kind of code should I add?

Hi

There is a quick view popup when you hover on video item. With that users can view videos on the same page.

Hi there,

Where can I change the size of the description text. If you slide down on the landing page you will see it right by the video thumbnails. If you go to video post, you will find them under the video.

If you need the link it’s right here: http://www.dbestvideos.com/

Thanks!

Ante

Hi,

The URL you sent is not accessible. Please check.

Font size of description text is body font size, which is configured in Theme Options > Fonts Settings > Content Text – Size

Pre-Purchase Question

i want my default video post, e.g.:

http://demo.cactusthemes.com/truemag/headphones/

to have the appearance of the Classy-Slider

http://demo.cactusthemes.com/truemag/home-page-classy-header/

(main video then related videos vertically on the side) is this possible?

The classy slider uses images, is it possible to make it use video thumbnails and replace the central/main image with a YouTube video embed?

Hi,

Currently it’s not possible for a single video post to have Classy-Slider style, but we will consider adding this feature in next update

In Theme Options you can configure to use the Player there, instead of thumbnail image.

Hello! Love the theme, however Auto Next is not working. However I should ask, does it work with YouTube videos? What if the viewer skips around (and to the end)? What about custom embed codes? Thank you!

So it is not working on your site? Could you submit ticket and leave URL of your site so we can check?

It works with YouTube and Vimeo videos. it detects if the player reaches the end of the video, then it will redirect the page to next video.

It does not work with custom embed code, only with Video URL from youtube and vimeo.

hello!

having allot of fun with this theme!

i had two questions -

1. How did you accomplish the “Homepage With Photo” here http://demo.cactusthemes.com/truemag/homepage-with-photo/

2. How do you place the ad in the sidebar of you demo site? is it a text widget? or is that a specified ad zone within the theme? when i place it as a text widget it shows up with a grey line around it.

thanks and i look forward to your reply!

Hi,

Thanks for your interested. Regarding your questions,

1. First you set Header Style in Theme Options to Sidebar. Then go to widget management and drag a text widget with an image in it.

2. Ad in sidebar is just text widget. To remove the grey line, choose ‘Fullwidth’ widget style for that widget, or add ‘no-border’ value in the Custom Variation field.

Best regards

great thank you very much!

Thanks for using our product ;)

Hello,

Great theme so far, I’m trying to configure the homepage, I imported the sample data.

How do I use the metroslider? is this included? because I don’t see it installed as a plugin. thanks.

Hi,

Metro slider is included in the theme. You need to go to Theme Options > Front Page > Header Style.

Thanks and best regards.

Hello again,

I hope you’re having wonderful weekend :)

I have two questions:

1. How do I remove the Google+ bar on the top of the page?

2. Where can I set that social networks open in new window?

Thank you in advance!

Ante

btw here is the website to see what I’m talking about. Thanks! http://www.dbestvideos.com/

Hi,

Your URL is inaccessible. Please check.

1. Do you mean the icons under main menu? It is social account configured in Theme Options > Social Accounts. Just leave the setting for Google+ empty, it will disappear.

2. Unfortunately, you can not make it open new window without modifying code. Open /truemag/header-navigation.php and edit line 189, add this property: target=”_blank” like this

<a target="_blank" class="social-icon .....">
</a>

You should create a child theme before doing that (https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)

Hello. Can I ask? s there an option that we dont need to click the arrow down to see the full article of a post? Thanks

Hi

YES, you can turn on/off this arrow by:
Go to Theme Options > Single Post/Video > Enable Show More Content => Switch between enable/disable.

I just purchased the theme and it is still on 2.6.1. I have re-downloaded multiple times, including “Installable WordPress file only,” and still only get 2.6.1.

How can I get 2.6.2. Could you please make sure it is properly uploaded to ThemeForest?

I have a number of other issues, including no auto-fetching of video data even though I enabled it in the settings, but I suspect this is due to being on an older version that isn’t updated for Wordpress 3.9.

Hi,

You’re right, there is a mistake in versioning the latest version. It’s actually 2.6.2 We have submitted the changes to ThemeForest.

Thanks

Pre-Purchase Question:

On the first page, can we add something do not include video on the sidebar? I want to add more text and it will be like 1- lorem ipsum; 2-lorem ipsum; 3- lorem ipsum.

Yes, it’s possible. You just need to use a Text widget in sidebar.

Ticket #: 201844 . I am not able to add any ‘Standard Posts’. Once I click on ‘publish’ the whole content disappears. Please check the ticket.

Hi Praviljithpv,

You should disable Auto Fetch data in Theme options > Single post/video, or check the checkbox “DO NOT FETCH” when editing posts.

Thanks a lot !

Hi,

You just need to check the “Do Not Fetch” checkbox so that it will not fetch data (which is empty) into post.

Found a small bug. When updating the theme from within WordPress, Visual Composer is not updating. I have even tried deactivating the theme, and pulling the new theme files over (did not work either). I had to start fresh from a fresh install of wordpress, and now I have the new version of Visual Composer working. Just a heads up for future releases.

Case closed.

What was this latest update from today for? I don’t see it mentioned on the change log (26th April)

Hi,

It just re-versions the previous one (2.6.2), so nothing new :)

I can’t install any of the following plugins: TrueMAG – Movie TrueMAG – Shortcodes TrueMAG Rating Truemag – Member

I get this error message: An unexpected error occurred. Something may be wrong with WordPress.org or this server’s configuration. If you continue to have problems, please try the support forums.

What is the problem here?

Thank you in advance and best regards!

Hi,

Those plugins must be installed manually via uploading. The installation files can be found in the download package

Thanks, that helps! :)

Great, thanks!

Hi. The theme automatically updated to v2.6.1 but now it is not picking up that there is an update to v2.6.2. How do i fix this and update the theme? it seems also that one can check both the “Yes” or “no” automatic update. :-) should be one or the other. Thank you.

Hi Nicholast10,

With Truemag v2.6.2, you should update manually. You need to download the latest package from themeforest and install theme and all plugins via uploading or FTP

Many thanks,
CactusThemes – Envato Elite Author

Hi. A bit disappointed that the auto update feature has been cancelled. Overwriting existing files will not lose custom css etc….?

Hi,

The auto update feature is still there. The problem with 2.6.2 is that its version number is made incorrectly. Now we fixed it.

You can export your theme options (Option Tree > Export) to save the settings to make sure you do not lose any settings. After update, you can import again.

is it possible that whenever i upload a video in vimeo (using vimeo plus account) then it get automatically create post in my wordpress? If not, i would need to upload in vimeo and then create post for the exact video in WP. thanks.

Hi Bari86,

That feature is not available yet. You will need to create new posts for your videos.

Thanks a lot!

Hi, I want to put a conditional logo. There is one specific page that I want to show a different logo picture (logo2.png), the rest use the normal logo (logo1.png) i set in the theme option. Is it possible? i tried to play around with custom code in the theme option but was no successful.

Hi Bari86,

This feature is not available yet. You need to create new posts for your videos.

Thanks a lot!

Hi,
I am sorry that I put the wrong answer to your comment.
For this question:
It is possible to put a conditional logo in the specific page with custom css. Please submit ticket to http://cactusthemes.ticksy.com and leave your admin account and url so we can help.

I want to buy, but first I want to know if Views, Liked.. automatically make the counts? Because Im seeing and clicking on demo videos, and dnt change the number.

Thank you.

Hi Wdevel,

It is automatic. But you can also edit it manually. Maybe the cache has caused this in our server. Please try refreshing the page or clear cache.

Would it be possible to add a rss icon in the social accounts header?

Sugestion: it would be great to have a generic way to add icons to this header. We could choose an icon, a link for it and add it. Otherwise you may always be missing something. ;)

Hi Paulovedder,

I am afraid that you will need to modify theme’s code to do that. We also thank for your suggestion, we will consider adding it in the our future updates.
