Hello,

I know about the “fetch video views” option, but I want the view count to update accordingly to the views from the video on youtube. Is there any way to make the views update in sync ?

thanks in advance, very satisfied with this theme. 5/5

Hi,

Thanks for your interest. Currently it can’t sync the view count with YouTube. TrueMag uses its own View Count system.

Best regards, CactusThemes

Pre-Sales question:

How are the sliders added to this theme?, by looking at the other comments it seems like it may be hard.

Hi,

What am I saying is the slider/carousel or slideshow in Home Page. Probably you ask about the small carousel in sidebar? Yes, it is shortcode

is there any possibility that i could have a demo of the admin?, or at least screenshots?.

Hello, I have three issues I need help with.

1. For some reason when I tried placing an AD on the top of the page and removed it the Search area spacing between the Top Menu and the Carousel changed and no longer fits the Search Icon correctly. How do I fix this? Please check out my site http://www.carreviewfans.com/

2. When I tried putting an AD on the right side nothing showed up and how do you place a AD in the widget area?

3. Lastly, on the front page of your Demos how were you able to have those 3 categories display on the front page within their respective carousels?

Thanks in advance and so far I’m loving the theme!

Hi Rcuico,

1. You can add the following CSS
#headline.is-fixed-nav {
    margin-top: 66px;
}

2. If you want to put an AD in the Widget, copy ads code in the widget “Text”

3. If you want to have those 3 categories to display on the front page within their respective carousels, please Go to Appearance-> Theme Options-> Front page—> at the “Header – Category (ID or slug)” enter ID of categories here

Thanks,

1. Where exactly would I add that CSS? I’ve tried adding it to Appearance -> Editor and nothing changed.

Also, in regards to question 3. I’m trying to Display the categories on the Front Page like what you did on the your Demo Front Page where you displayed the categories Vimeo, Featured, Youtube, and Also Check out. In my blog I seem to only get the Latest Post Displayed in the grid style. How did you guys do that?

Hi,

1. You can add that CSS in Appearance > Theme Options > General > Custom CSS

3. You could check this doc to set up the home page: http://doc.cactusthemes.com/truemag/#!/setting_homepage. Then, when editing the home page, use Smart Content Box shortcode to display posts from different categories.

Hi i see the demo today and got more diferent home page styles, did that ones come for the new uptdate or coming with the version 2.8.2, sorry for my bad english. I like this theme very much goood good work.

Hi,

All the demo pages you see are in the latest version 2.8.2, so you can configure theme (the demo data included in the package is quite old so if you use Install Sample Data feature, you probably will not see it)

Hello,

i’m having an issue with visual composer. when i try to edit a page, i’m getting a “convert to new version” overlay. i cannot continue. do i press the button to convert? or do i wait until you provide the update? it looks like the new version is 3.5.

please advise…

chris

Hi,

The latest version of Visual Composer in TrueMag is 4.1.3. Whenever Visual Composer is updated, your page is need to “convert to new version”. It is a feature of VC, so just do as it suggests.

What smart box settings do I have to use to get it to look like the “Vimeo” section in the demo?

Also I would like to know how to remove theme options and optiontree from the wordpress admin menu. Im almost done with the site wouldn’t want someone to come and mess it up after i’m done. Thank you.

Hi,

Please check the document: http://doc.cactusthemes.com/truemag/#!/smart_content_box (Medium Carousel style)

You can hide the Option Tree menu, but you cannot hide Theme Options. In /truemag/inc/core/skeleton-core.php, change this line
add_filter( 'ot_show_pages', '__return_true' );
into
add_filter( 'ot_show_pages', '__return_false' );
What you can do is to export the settings using Option Tree menu before doing that. If anything is changed, use the Import feature to restore.

when a user submit a video for review will his email be stored in our database ?

Hi,

Yes. This feature saves Email of submitter in the metadata of video posted.

Hi Im trying to add adsense in between the carousels, I tried to put the shortcode in but its not showing up, is there a special method to do this on the pages

Hi

Which carousel do you want to modify? If it’s front page carousel slider, you should find it in truemag/header-home-carousel.php or truemag/header-home-metro.php

Any chance you can add Dailymotion Videos?

Yes, TrueMag supports DailyMotion Videos

I can’t seems to find visual composer in my download and site isnt displaying correctly

Hi,

It’s in /Installation Files/ folder, in the download package.

Should you have any problems, do not hesitate to contact us at http://cactusthemes.ticksy.com

Best regards, CactusThemes

its actually not there at all

Hi,

It’s the plugin TrueMag-Shortcodes. Visual Composer in TrueMag is not a standalone version. It’s a customized version.

I will recommend a few things you need to fix/add if you want

1. the navigation is wrong, is like that (icon right, class left, php right).. 2. i post before this anyway add the Watched for videos like youtube.. 3. in truemag-shortcodes the Smart Content Box will be great if add the type of post normal post and video post (now is only video)

Hi,

Thanks for your suggestions. We have something to discuss:

1. The navigation is meant to be like that, so we would not change that.

2. The “Watched” notification feature is quite nice. We will consider that

3. The Smart Content Box is meant to use for videos only. But it would be nice if users can choose what type posts to display. We will consider this too.

Best regards, CactusThemes

One more question. how do we disable review/rating portion of specific video posts? if i leave it blank, it still gives me the yellow box with blank content. could you help?

thanks in advance…

chris

Hi,

You just need to deactivate TrueMag-Rating plugin.

Best regards, CactusThemes.com

Also would like to know how i can create a new sidebar and attach it to a specific page that i want to create?

thanks in advance…

chris

Yes, you can use Custom Sidebar plugin to do that.

Best regards, CactusThemes

Great theme!

Question. can i install the full “paid” version of the Visual Composer? Hopefully this will not break the theme? Please let me know.

thanks…chris

Hi,

It will break the theme as some of elements in Visual Composer have been customized.

You do not need to have a standalone version of Visual Composer. We will update it regularly along with the theme. All you need is a license of Visual Composer for direct support from WPBakery.

Best regards, CactusThemes

Potential buyer question… Can you have multiple author pages?

Yes, you can have as many author pages as you want

we have a problem when installing pluggins? TrueMAG – Movie, TrueMAG – Shortcodes, TrueMAG Rating and Truemag – Member. An error occurred while installing TrueMAG – Movie(It’s like:: download unseccuesful. not valid url)

Hi,

Please find the installation files in the download package. They must be installed via uploading.

Best regards, CactusThemes

I’m getting the following error all over my homepage after updating (and yes, all plugins have been updated).

Warning: Missing argument 19 for CT_ContentHtml::get_all_item_video(), called in /home3/travle5/public_html/ocr.tv/wp-content/plugins/truemag-shortcodes/shortcodes/smart-content.php on line 107 and defined in /home3/travle5/public_html/ocr.tv/wp-content/themes/truemag/inc/classes/class.content-html.php on line 419

Resolved. Deleted and then reinstalled the true-mag shortcode plugin.

a very nice theme. But to scroll left or right related content açarken.tablet and phone works very well, but the wrong bilgisayardayk.link click on the scroll action, such as a page opens. very frustrating. Produce an immediate solution. I have to decide. To fix this, I will be back. Please, correct the problems.

on the computer screen, images are opened when scrolling the page. I slide images. but before the end of the scroll to page redirects. The shift operation is incorrect. Do not stop scrolling. Direct page opens. just doing it on the computer screen. Please, correct the problems. - sory Iam samespeak english. I translate to G :).

Hi,

True Mag supports JWPlayer plugin. Then you just need to sign up for JW Player Ads program.

Best regards, CactusThemes

yes I know. I want you to have this feature. If you add such a feature, will be the best selling themes. a very important need. I do not want jwplayer. jwplayer expensive.

Hi,

Thanks for your suggestion. We will consider this seriously.

Best regards, CactusThemes

I just want to confirm if the user will automatically be registered at the time of submitting the video.

Hi,

The Submit Video flow is separated from registration process

Does that mean that the user is not required to register for submitting a video? Where is the register link?

There is an option in admin that allows you to set whether “Submit Videos” should be available for Guests or Logged-In Users.

You can use any widget or a menu item to set a register link
