Is it possible to change the number of videos that show up through the Video listing template without knowing how to code? For instance if the default was 8, what if i wanted 10, 12 or 14 to show up is there an easy way to change the number or would i have to get someone to who knows php/css?

Hi,

It is configured in Settings > Reading.

Hi when I add Video Code in the post, the embedded video is always aligned left. How do I get it so that the embedded video is center aligned?

Hi

How do we create a video player page similar to what’s on the demo? http://demo.cactusthemes.com/truemag/vimeo-bbc-stadium-uk/

I cannot get it to look anything like it.

Hi Atc07,

Please go to Theme Options > Single Posts/Video > Video Player Layout and choose “Full- width”

Best regards,

I wanted to make my thumbnails below the metro carousel to be size 260×146 so after posting a video I have to manually crop the thumbnail to make it 260×146. The problem is that the cropped image has an empty white space on the image which can be seen if the background color of the page is black. Here is an example of how it looks. When you reach the link you need to change the background color of the page to black to see the whitespace on the sides of the image.

easource.com/wp-content/uploads/thumbnails

How can I have that space removed from the image?

Hi

You can use this Custom CSS to fix it
.video-item.format-audio .item-thumbnail{margin-bottom:0px}

Best regards

If you go to my website easource.com and roll over one of the thumbnails that are below the carousel you should see a tooltip that comes up that says ‘quick view’ or ‘watch now’.

How can I change the color of the text and buttons from purple to red?

Hi,

It requires Custom CSS. Try this For the button:
.tooltipster-base .gv-button .quick-view a {
color: #1D89D7;
}
For the quick view link:
.tooltipster-content a:hover{
color: #f00cf8;
}

Quick view does not work with VIMEO?

My page: www.brasilfilmes.net

yes, I got it, I had to place the link to http: he was with httpS:

how to translate (quick view) (more) etc.. for the Portuguese language, I tried to use poedit and could not translate truemag.po

Hi,

Those words have been translated since 2.8.2 Make sure you have the latest version of Truemag

Hello Cactusthemes,

Congratulations on your theme.

The grip does not seem obvious at first but you just have to be seriously interested to enjoy it.

The simplest things are sometimes difficult to solve: I used homepage Classyslider 2 and I want to know how to change the color of button “view details” and arrows…

Thank you in advance for your response

Cordially.

Hi Showinweb,

Please go to Theme Options > General > Custom CSS and add some code here.

1. In order to change the color of button “view details”, use this code
.classy-carousel-horizon #stage-carousel .video-item .ct-btn{
background-color:#f00;
color:#0000FF;
}
2. In order to change the color of “arrows”, use this code
.classy-carousel-horizon #top-carousel .is-carousel .carousel-button.more-videos a.prev, .classy-carousel-horizon #top-carousel .is-carousel .carousel-button.more-videos a.next
{
color:#FF0000;
}

Best regards,

Thanks very much !

I want to use the “Front Page” layout on multiple pages. The Header Style is set to sidebar.. Can i make it so that i have different sidebars for every page?

Hi

It’s not possible. You can try to use Custom Sidebar plugin to achieve that.

Best regards, CactusThemes

i am not 100% sure about this but the disqus system does not show the comments normally (i put the auto Color Scheme from admin panel) check the picture http://prntscr.com/3qxkgq

You should choose color scheme to be “For light background”

you’re right (if you see i send you reports but i am not purchased just i tested some things maybe i buy it”but is too much for me”)

Hi,

Can I replace you custom Visual Composer for the purchased and update visual composer?

Hi,

No, it’s not possible as our embedded version is a customized version of Visual Composer. Without it, you will lose some shortcodes that we have written specifically for True Mag.

How can I force HD playback on youtube videos? Basically I want all videos to play in 1080p if possible…if not then in 720p.

Hi,

We do not have option to select video quality. This is an embed example of video played in HD 1080.
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://youtube.com/v/IplDUxTQxsE&vq=hd1080" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="1"></iframe>

Let’s break apart the code:

http://youtube.com/v/ video_id &vq=hd1080

You can change the quality to 720 too. (ex: &vq=hd720)

Best regards!

where can I add this code to have all videos play in HD by default?

Hi,

If you want to play all videos in HD by default, you need to customise code. Pls submit ticket to http://cactusthemes.ticksy.com/ so we can help.

Best regards, CactusThemes

Hi

just purchased the theme, how to get the hope page with a big photo as in the demo ? i did play with all the option,

BR

Hi Kacem78,

If it is a front page, please go to “Appearance > Theme option > Front page” in ” Header style” choose “siderbar”.

Then go to “Appearance > Widgets”, add a text widget into the “Main top sidebar”, after that insert your image there. You can use a HTML text widget for easier editing (install BlackStudio TinyMCE plugin).

Thanks,

CactusThemes

Thanks, i did figure out just with revolution slider with only one slide

another question : related to the TrueMag Rating, where to fine the shortcode so that i can insert it manually

i could not make it working with the default setting, i don’t have anything on the screen , anything am i missing ?

BR Kacem

Hi,

You’re right. There is a missing instruction for this. The shortcode is
[tmreview]

Best regards.

Pre-Sale Questions! :)

1 – “Smart Content Box” and “Featured Content Box” recognize Custom Post Types, Categories and Taxonomies?

2 – The theme itself supports Custom Post Types? Like… if I create one with third-party plugins the Video and Review boxes will be appear?

3 – Sticky Header and Mega-Menu? If not, can I use MashMenu, right? But if the plugin is discontinued you plan to create a new one and make TrueMag compatible?

4 – Blank Template (Pages and Posts) included for free customization?

5 – With Visual Composer I can use the Header/Nav bellow Slider… in case of have a Blank Template?

6 – What about SEO? Yoast compatible? And if someone share a self-hosted video in Facebook, for example, it will be embedded for real-time play (like YouTube) or will be a link to the page?

7 – All Sliders (Metro Slider specially) supports News/Blog posts too?

8 – If I set the purpose to Magazine, the occasional video posts still have the time stamp, like and dislike, full-width layout and stuff?

9 – What about Related Posts and Lightbox for News/Blog Posts? And I can use “video toolbar” for regular posts too?

10 – The updates are regular? Can I expect for new features any time soon? And I can send suggestions to improve the theme too?

Just that for now… waiting for answers!

Thanks! :D

Hi Davideassis,

1. “Smart Content Box” and “Featured Content Box” only supports Posts, Categories and Tags.

2. Our theme does not support Custom Post Types.

3. You can choose between MashMenu (plugin) and default sticky menu for TrueMag. We haven’t had plan to develop new mega menu plugin.

4, 5. Sorry, I do not get your points.

6. Truemag has built-in SEO feature for video, and is Yoast compatible. Self-hosted videos can be played directly without opening new page.

7. All Sliders support News/Blog posts.

8. Yes, they do.

9. “What about Related Posts and Lightbox for News/Blog Posts” > I don’t get your point.

“Video toolbar” are available for standard posts.

10. We regularly update new features for our theme.

We will highly appreciate your suggestions if you send some suggestions to improve the theme.

Thanks,

Where you can change the last part of the site? Look: http://i60.tinypic.com/27ymutg.png

Hi SaMveryUEL,

Please go to Appearance > Theme option > Color & Background > option “Main color 2” and “content color”

Thanks,

CactusThemes

Does not work changing there. Which string change in style.css? To change the color of the title and the content.

Hi

You could add these CSS to Theme options > General > Custom CSS:
.item-head h3, .item-head h3 a, .video-item .item-content, .video-item .item-meta {
    color: #000000;
}
