Question: What is the purpose of the “Trending” ticker at the top? What is it meant to do?

Hey Nitesh,

It’s a news ticker to show latest posts. “Trending Ticker” is a label you can set to anything from Theme Settings.

Cheers.

Any way to actually show trending content?

If you have disabled the top bar, it should be working by default by using latest posts. For further support, please use our Support Forums.

Thanks.

Is there a mobile site version with a responsive mobile menu? if so I’d like to see a screen shot or a demo of the menu at least. Thanks! nice theme by the way.

ALSO, is there a way that we can customize the display of product categories where I can show and Add to Cart button without having to rollover the product image?? I would need this option for maximum efficiency when purchasing one of my items using a mobile phone.

Yes. We can help you to make it always visible instead of having to hover.

New Feature: Prevent duplicate articles in home-page blocks. How this Feature works? Please explain.

Hey,

For sites that have a lot of content that is shared between multiple categories, if you setup the home-page like the demo, you can have the same post appearing in different blocks (because of newness and because this article is posted in multiple categories). This usually happens on news site with heavy content.

It’s also useful when you use the “latest posts” slider but don’t want these same slider posts to appear below in a block due to newness of the post.

If you need help using it, or for any other support, please create a topic at our Support Forums.

Cheers.

Hi,

very nice & clear theme. May I see how the theme is displaying post tags and the tag cloud?

thx

Hey dusticell,

Glad to hear you like the theme.

For any screenshots you need, please email us through our Profile and we’ll share them with you. You can tell us what text you would like to see in tags.

Hi. Just purchased the theme. Need to use it in an Arabic language website, saw that your theme supports RTL languages.

However after purchase I’m not sure how this is implemented. Normally a theme would have some controls to activate RTL on the site.

I do not want to change the entire wordpress installation to Arabic, just the theme should be optimised for Arabic display i.e. RTL reading.

Is there something I’ve missed perhaps.

Hey,

It’s a WordPress best practice to use automatic RTL detection so that’s the way to activate RTL. In your unique case, unfortunately, you sill have to change your WordPress language to Arabic language code as explained documentation. However, there’s a way to keep admin area in English while using that method. Please get in touch with support at our Support Forums by creating a topic.

Thanks.

How do you offset blocks on the homepage?

Hey,

Since v2.1, when you edit a block in page-builder, there’s an option to add offset for the block. If you recently upgraded, please make sure you follow the update instructions.

For further support, please create a topic at our Support Forums as support staff should be able to assist you better.

Cheers.

The Blog/Listing Widget Block does not have the option to offset. However Highlight and News do.

Please check this topic at forums.

Thanks.

Hi.

One quick question I didn’t seem to find the answer too, yet:

Even if I select the option of commenting PAGES (not posts), I cannot locate the comment-box under the page’s content. Any trick to do that? :)

Thanks,

T.

Hey T.,

Please get in touch with support at our Support Forums for a solution to this issue.

Thanks.

Hello,

For some reason my custom background upload button has stopped working? The existing backgrounds are still and I can also add a general background but I can’t add to any new posts or pages. Any ideas on this?

Thanks,

Sean B

Hey Sean,

For posts and pages, the Custom Background is only available in “boxed” mode. It won’t look good in full-width mode, hence it’s disabled.

For further support, please create a topic at our Support Forums as support is only available at the forums.

Cheers.

Hello,

Is it possible to change the font size in the main menu?

Thanks,

Sean B

Hey,

By default, the “Main Font” (in Theme Settings > Typography) will also be used for Navigation.

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

Thanks.

How can I open the social icons in new window? adding target blank didn’t work

Hey,

Adding that should open in a new tab. Please check with support at the Support Forums for a solution.

Cheers.

Hello,

we bought the old version 1.0. How we update to the new version?. We have problems when we upload the new version. The website don’t work when we upload the new version.

Hey,

There’s an Update Guide available at our forums. If you have already update without using the guide and are getting an error, please follow the fix here. (You have to register first to see the forums)

Cheers.

Hi. Great looking theme.

Before purchasing I just wanted to check on the mega menu. Is this integrated or does the mega menu need customisation to fit with the rest of the theme?

Also, there isn’t a whole lot of social media shown on the demo. Does the theme work well with, say, Share Button by Addtoany?

Thank you!

Hey,

Great to know you like the theme. The mega-menu is integrated of course and works using the default way of creating the menu in WordPress. There are social media buttons on post pages and top-bar above header and other social plugins can be used.

Cheers.

That’s great news about the mega menu. Thanks. About to purchase!

I would like to purchase this template, but I do have 2 issues :-)

1.) I’ve tried to view the Live Preview on my Android tablet with Firefox. I couldn’t swipe the images on the slider and also galleries in the Home Page, like what I can do with Chrome or Android’s browser itself. Besides, the list of videos in Latest Videos don’t display as well.

2.) Do you have a Gallery album layout. That is a very important component in my site. It will be awesome if you can have that.

Other than these 2 issues, I love you template very much! It’s somehow complete!

Hey,

1. Haven’t been able to re-create this issue. Please mention your Android version, Tablet name/model, and Mobile Firefox version.

2. Not sure what type of gallery album layout you’re hoping for, but the WordPress default ‘gallery’ can be added inside post content to create a thumbnail gallery. Or you can use NextGen Gallery plugin.

Great to know you like it.

Thanks.

Hello again,

My tablet is Samsung Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) and my Firefox version is 29.0.1.

As for Gallery, I meant listing in a Gallery format instead of the as a layout in a post, which I see that this template has it. But ya, thanks for the link to NexGen. I guess I can get what I want with it.

Thanks so much! Would be glad to be able to purchase it with peace now ;)

Thanks for the device details. We’ll debug it as soon as we can get our hands on that or a device with similar configs.

Cheers.

Hi, I would like to limit the number of symbols in the thumbnails posts, how to do that with ”... read more” at the end of symbols?

Thanks!

Hi, is there a tool in the theme tht can be use for manage the image resolutions? We already have it images but there are not correct scaled.

Thanks!

Hey,

As mention in the setup part of documentation, if you had uploaded these images before SmartMag was activated, you will need to re-generate theme. If you have existing content and featured images, you will have to install Regenerate Thumbnails plugin and run it from Tools > Regen. Thumbnails.

Cheers.

Thanks!

Hi! Great theme! Do you have any example sites built by your customers using your theme?! It would be great to see what has been done beyond your demo.

Thanks!

Hey,

Glad to know you like the theme.

We haven’t asked permission from our customers yet about show-casing their sites, but here’s one customer’s site that allowed us without asking: http://techdissected.com/

Hi! I just buyed and installed this theme, but and i’m not able to abilitate the slideshow in homepage! I searched anywhere in the menù but nothing… How can i do? Can i write here the url of my blog ? Thanks! Bye

Hey Valerio,

It’s covered in documentation, but if that’s confusing, there’s another explanation here. You will have to register at support forums but it will be worth it as support is available there.

Cheers.

Yeah ! Great work, thanks for your reply ! I solved my problems.

Can i show you my blog with “new cool dress” ?!

Another question for you: This is first time i use a professional theme. Other time i needed to install many plug-in for make blog functional (for SEO, social, spam, banners & more).

In this case, with your theme, is still necessary install all those plug in? Can you advise us about the plugin to install ? I don’t want to install the usual questionable plug-in that make only confusion…

Thank !

Hey Valerio,

Greetings, just purchased the theme and began translating the .po file, I saved it as es_ES and set the language in the config file, but the translation is not working, any advice?

I’m using a child theme, also put the languages folder and the files in there, but no changes. WP installation is also in Spanish.

Thanks

Oh, finally it is working, seems the header in the .po file wasn’t recognizing English. :D

Hi, I purchased the theme and have a following question: How can I install the theme with all tolls like in the demo?

Thanks,

Where I can find the purchase code? I can’t see bookmarks in my profile? :) Sorry for this question!

Sorry for the confusion. It should be under Downloads. On the Downloads page, next to “SmartMag”, click on the Download button and you will get “License Certificate & Purchase code” link in drop-down menu.

Thanks.

Thanks!
