do you have just the html? So I can implement it in custom website?

Hi,

Sorry, we do not have HTML version of TrueMag

Hi, when I tried to use the image on my site as the banner image for a category, I paste the image url in the “Category Banner Link” field, but nothing appeared in the category page. Also, how do I add a banner image as header to an average page?

Hi Monte_Cristo,

You need to install plugin “categories images” , then configure as images in the links below

How can I truncate the text if using the Classy 2 Horizontal Rev Slider? I want to change these settings. Also, the slider grabs the text that is AFTER my READ MORE tag in my content. Why is that? It should ignore it I would think. Thanks.

Hi Azizpbrimah,

1. You could use custom excerpt to make classy slider items’ text shorter. When editing post, please enable Excerpt panel on Screen options (top right of screen) to enter your custom excerpt (http://codex.wordpress.org/Excerpt#How_to_add_excerpts_to_posts )

2, It is because you have set “Front page displays” to be “Your latest posts”. If you want to change to choose a static page (select below) and set a fixed page to be homepage, there will no “read more”. When you create a page, if you choose type of display in “pages” like our attachments, it will have a priority to show.

Please see the attachment in links below

Thanks,

Number 1 is what I needed! Thanks! PERFECT!!!!!!

My site loads very slowly and I just found it’s the google font issue. I’m in China and China blocks everything from google, so when the site loads it waits for the google font forever. How can I disable the connection to Google font?

Hi,

You can use Custom Font feature. Just upload your own font and enter the name in Theme Options > Fonts.

Hello i have bought your theme after install the shortcode Plugin i have a fatal error if i click on activate:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class CactusThemeShortcodes in /var/www/virtual/my-page/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/truemag-shortcodes2/trueMAG-shortcodes.php on line 50

Can you help please

regards

Hi,

May I know how did you solve it? Is it our bug?

I had first applied manually Shortcode plugin with FTP in plugin folder directly …That did not work. Error Message from FTP Client: String is too long. After this i have installed this plugin again according to your description and this works ;)

:) Do not hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions.

Hello

Fantastic theme. Is it possible to have the video play button appear over the featured images on the smart content medium carousel for video post category? They appear in video site mode, but not in magazine, and it’s one of my favourite features of the site.

Thanks

Hi

You need to add some custom CSS (or modify theme’s code) to to that (Appearance > Theme Options > Custom CSS)

.video-item .item-thumbnail .link-overlay:before { content: ”\f04b”; }

Audio format posts are not displayed due t to our design concept. If you want to change it, you need to edit theme’s code

Best regards, CactusThemes

I added the code both via custom css field and into the stylesheet directly in the relevant class, and the pause icon did not appear over the posts in either scenario. I added the !important rule just to be sure but no effect.

You should send us a ticket with more details (url, admin login, possition of icons..), our supporters will help you more exactly.

Best regards!

Very nice template and I´m really interested in purchasing it. But I have couple of questions.

1. Using the metro slider. Is it be possible to play the videos within in the header or without going to a new page? Also, is it possible to add a smaller “watch now” button on it and then got to another page?

2. How adjustable is the header where the logo is and the main menu with the drop downs?

Hope these questions are understandable.

Thanks!

Hi Grimurgrimsson,

1. The “Metro Slider” is a image slider, so you cannot play the videos within the header. In order to solve this, you can use ” Classy Slider 2 (horizontal)” in the “Header Style”

Please go to: Appearance-> Theme Option-> Front Page

2. Go to Appearance -> Theme Option -> Main Navigation > Main Navigation Height

Thanks,

Thank you for your answer!

Description says that we can Embedded Videos from popular video services like Youtube, Vimeo, Dribbbles. Can I Embedded Videos from Dailymotion as well? Also it would be great if you can provide a list of websites whose videos can be embedded. Thanks

Hi,

All Video Networks that supports embedded code can be used with Truemag theme. Especially with YouTube, Vimeo, Dailymotion you can use direct link instead of embedded code.

Best regards

Hi, I like the theme. Really nice. Please, before being shown the original content, we’ll add your own ads in Video Player. Thank you very much. Regards

Hi,

We are developing such features. Please wait.

Best regards

hmm, thank you very much.

You are welcome

Hello, Is it possible to hide the video length appears in the thumbnails of the Home Page ? Thank you

Hi,

Font size of titles of Smart Content Box is not changeable by Theme Options. You will need custom css to do that. Add this code in Theme Options > General > Custom CSS:
.smart-box .item-head h3, .smart-box .item-head h3 a{
font-size:16px;
}

Change the value to your need.

Best regards

Thank you !

And I’d like to hide comments on each post … I changed the options in Setting > Discussion, but it doesn’t work …

Hi,

Options in Settings > Discussion only works with new posts. For existing posts, you need to turn it off manually in each post. See this post: http://wpstylish.com/hide-comments-on-pages/

I too have the problem with your shortcodes plugin: ftp refuses the upload for some files. http://vidmoment.com/truemag_failure.jpg This maybe also the reason why I cannot upload from within the wp/theme customization and images etc. Also, really would like to know r why it is that the classy slider does not play the video in the player visible on the page but rather sends me to a different page, with no return to the “classy slider” ?

So, now that I loaded the demo content – I hate every bit of it – do I have to do a DB reset to get rid of all your demo content? It is of no real help to me. It will be far easier to start from scratch than trying to make sense of all the broken links. There is no easy way to create a home page like any of your demo showcase pages. Btw, I did also submit a ticket on your your support – since as of right now, I cannot use the theme at all due to the ftp issue. Does that not defeat the purpose of having the “look” of a classy slider but without the functions one expects from it. [as shown in your demo.]

Hi,

I cannot access your URL (http://vidmoment.com/truemag_failure.jpg). Please check.

Regarding the classy slider, you must configure in Theme Options > Front Page > Header Video Item > Video Player

Demo content is meant to be a guide that helps you setup your site. Of course, it is not ready to go. We will check the ticket to see the problems and will get back to you soon

Best regards

I left reply o n support forum [with login info] – also checked the link for the image again for some reason url got capped at the end with the actual url. I left the corrected url in my reply also [on support] http://vidmoment.com/truemag_failure.jpg

ok, we will check now

Thanks for your earlier reply. One more quick question… I have a client with a specific need of being able to have both branded and non branded pages. In other words is it possible to easily eliminate the nav and header (logo) on specific pages but still have it on others?

Hi,

It’s possible with some custom CSS. You can control it using the page ID of the page where you want to hide the nav and header

Best regards

Hello,

It seems to me that it is not possible to translate the hover texts that appear on the social share section of the article pages. Do you confirm that? Am I only able to translate the texts by manually editing the source files?

Regards, Paulo Costa

Hi,

You need to modify theme’s code to edit those text. You can find them in functions.php (find: function tm_social_share() ).

Sorry for this bug, we will fix it in next update.

Best regards

is this theme for videos only or can i add pictures instead videos ?

regards

Hi,

You can use True Mag as a normal magazine site with standard posts and featured images

Best regards

Hello,

has your theme a megamenu ?

regards

Hi,

True Mag only includes MashMenu plugin, which is not really a mega menu but a Mashable.com-look-like menu (http://codecanyon.net/item/mashmenu-wordpress-easy-mega-menu-plugin/5233213).

Hello,

Currently, the page where the video is played shows the video stretched on top across the screen. Is it possible to show the video in smaller size so that we can show ads or list of similar videos along a column on the right side, like on YouTube ?

Thanks,

Harris

Hi,

Currently there isn’t any options to achieve that. You will need to edit code to do that.

Best regards, CactusThemes

I was just going through your documents and found the following option:

“Video Layout Video Player can be full width (Full Width layout) and in left column (Inboxed layout)”

Is this not what provides this option to show the video either in wide view or smaller view with additional colum?

Hi,

Yes, it does change the wide view and smaller view, but it does not provide an additional column where you can add your own content.

You have to edit that layout to add content on the left & right of the player.

Best regards

Hello,

I wanted to check if we will be able to embed videos in Truemag theme from the following sites:

Dailymotion.com Tune.pk

Please let me know as this is very important that we should be able to embed from these sites.

Thanks,

Harry

Hi,

Dailymotion.com is supported, but not Tune.pk. However, you can still use the Embed Video code provided by Tune.pk to use in TrueMag. It still work.

(with other supported video networks, you only need to enter video url)
