Hello, Nice theme here. Can buddypress users cret posts without going to wp backend? Can I create custom post type?

Thank You.

Hi there, thank you for your interest.

PowerMag supports buddypress and it integrates it aesthetically but it doesn’t provide additional features to the plugin.Btw users can normally post activity updates through the front-end, but I don’t think it’s possible for them to create regular posts.

is sample data easy to load so the theme looks exactly like your demo site ?

thnx

jim

Hi there, thank you for your interest.

There’s the XML sample data generated by wordpress importer included, which will import posts, pages, comments, menus. Widgets still have to be configured manually though (it’s a WP importer limitation unfortunately).

I’m thinking of purchasing this theme to use for a business membership site. Do you feel that’s a good use for this theme? We need to be able to search members directory by business type, using main categories as well as subcategories (retail > art supplies, etc). Also, I’d like members to be able to create their own posts for categories of events, offers, news, etc. Members will also need a page with their profile info (name/contact, logo, hours, description).

Will this theme work well for those purposes?

Hi there,
thank you for your interest.

The theme doesn’t actually have specific functionalities for your desired use, although I guess you should check out BuddyPress features to see if it can do what you are seeking for, I think what with a good magazine theme like this one and a good plugin selection you can achieve what you are looking for though.

Hello I have questions about how to edit the menus and how to change what the menu buttons say. I opened a support ticket days ago, and have yet to receive a response.

Love the theme. Just want more info as to how to properly mod things.

Thank you I got your reply.

I am working on this theme and I have added the color to the comments box in the menu, but it is not adding the colored corner. The dropdown colors change, but not the corner.

Thank you for your help.

Hi! I purchased this product a few days ago & have been tinkering with it. I’ve run into a problem with the social count plugin, where the vertical design option overlaps itself.

I’ve also had some problems with the buddypress avatars overlapping themselves (scroll down): http://u-game.co.uk/forums/topic/member-selfie-thread-p/

I’ve also noticed the top-most nav is aligned to the right on my theme, where as the demo has these links aligned left? http://u-game.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/navbar.png

Hi there, replied to the ticket on the support site.

Hello! I want to buy the theme but i have a question. Can I have the option to enter a post in more than one category and when I click on the category, messages are listed with category and tag color I clicked?

Hi there! Thank you for your interest.

It depends on your category structure actually, in case both are parent categories the color of the one with the lowest ID will be taken.

Hi, unfortunately nobody provided a Portuguese translation yet.

hello friend I have some questions:

This theme uses static page?

how do I translate it?

Hi there, thank you for your interest.

Apologies but I’m not quite sure I understood what do you mean about static pages (?).

PowerMag is translation ready, it comes with default.po .mo which can be translated with some freeware tool as Poedit.

Pre-purchase question; Is it possible to add custom links & news to “Breaking News” section?

Hi there, thank you for your interest.

You can set a category, although il will display latest posts only, custom text is not allowed without some customizations unfortunately.

Hello :)

I’m getting some trouble with Ajax Login. It’s seems broken, and I don’t know how to fix it.

Have you any idea? Here a screen of my problem. The dropdown menu don’t act in any case, if I’m logged or if I’m logged out (in this case, don’t work the “registration” or “login” phase).

WHere is the Social Counter Widget mentioned in the documentation? I’ve been searching for it nonstop and I can’t find any comments addressing this :\

Thanks!

Also, is there a way to select a specific category for the Home Page carousel on Sliders? Because from what I see from the avaiable options and documentation it will grab the most recent posts only.

Thanks!

Hi,
Social count widget needs to be downloaded separately. It’s a matter of a couple clicks you should see a notice in your WP dashboard. You could find more info about this also by searching through tickets on the SUPPORT SITE rather than comments here.

As you say the vertical carousel grabs the latest 5 posts (with a featured image set)

Well…from what I find I see that not many people read the documentation. But I’m having an issue with the Category Styler. I’m trying to pick a color for each category but it just isn’t applying it.

I input the HEX code directly and it seems to save it, but the color doesn’t change within the category. Same thing happens if I choose the color directly on the color-picker.

help?

...okay…sorry for so many replies, if I could delete them I would. But I have a new issue…now the corner color is not showing up on the homepage for the menu categories…but when i click on a category, the color is there…let me show you

Hi there,

no big deal, I just kindly ask you to address support requests to the dedicated support site.

I believe the issue with menu items on the homepage is there because there’s probably a JS error triggering in the page. I assume that that’s because the news ticker is empty, but I would need to see this in action. Please open a ticket on the support site and it’ll be processed as soon as possible.

Thank you

djwd

Thanks sorry, I thought it would be a known issue or something easy to reply to, but yeah, I think I fixed it :D

Heya djwd,

Is it possible to add a widget that supports the network function of wordpress? So maybe a widget that shows news from a networked blog or all blogs in the own network?

I know that there are already plugins for it but they’re all looking sadly bad or crash the layout ^^. This would be a awesome feature! :)

Regards
Wolfi

Hi there,

It would definitely be possible, although it’s the first time I get such request, being a stock template I do usually implement the most requested features. This is kinda specific to your needs, but I’ll definitely consider this.
Thanks for your valuable feedback.

Regards
djwd

Do you know that I love you? <3 :)

Wolfi

lol :D

Hi

After I install and enable the theme people can’t comment on my website. When they fill the comment form and press “comment” they get the following message:

“Please fill the form.”

However all fields are filled

It was a conflict with another plugin. Solved.

Great, glad it was sorted. Next time I kindly ask you to open a ticket on the dedicated support site. Thank you

Regards
djwd

I am just clarifying that I bought your theme and would like to use the buddypress AJAX functionality but don’t know how to do this so I am using this to let you know I am opening a support ticket.

Hi there,
thank you for your purchase.

Going through tickets right now, thanks for your patience.

Pre-Purchase Question:

Would it be possible to add a custom field to add a link back name / URL for an article source? or is this feature already included?

Hi there, thank you for your interest.

It’s not an included feature unfortunately, as this is the kind of functionality that should rely on a plugin if you ask me, so in case of a theme switch source links won’t be lost.

Best Regards
djwd

Hello.

Id like to get help with the theme. I submitted a support ticket in the support page as well.Theme looks great and happy to purchase.

My concern is using the xml file demo as a sort of frame work for my own changes. I cant seem to make it work well even after following the steps and importing. Wordpress says there are missing files etc.

Please help. Thank you.

Hi there,
going through tickets right now, thanks for your patience.
