Whoops! Something went terribly wrong with this theme with the new Firefox update. The header slider turned all black! @An-Themes: Did you notice this problem? Is there a quick fix?

A simple fix, go to Theme Options > Style Settings > Custom CSS and paste this style:
#featured-slider .item img        { opacity: 1 !important;}
#featured-slider .item:hover img  { opacity: 1 !important;}

Cheers :)

Thank you! :)

Do you have a German Language Pack?

Hi There,

Thanks for purchasing my theme.
Unfortunately it doesn’t, but you can install the WordPress in german, and then use the .po file to translate the theme in your own language.

Cheers :)

Actually I have more questions :)

1. Can I change word “current” and “featured” for smthg else (i.e. polish words)

2. Can I put categories names instead popular tags in top menu (one with search bar)

Hi There,

  1. You can translate the Theme to your own language. The theme includes .po & .mo files for easy translation.
  2. The theme has the option to display the popular tags, in order to display the categories will require custom work.

Also, please read the documentation for a properly configuration of the theme, plugins, demo content, etc., also note that the support is offered only through the contact form on my ThemeForest Support page on the business days / hours, from 8:00 to 17:00 (GMT +2) within 24h in the order they were received which you can find it here: MAG Support.

1. Yeah, about that :) a) I can’t see “current” and “featured” words in .po file :) So have I dig in theme files to change the way that theme recognise post for The Next Big Thing nad slider? Or there is simpler way to do it? For me best solution will be that theme put this post basing non on tags but categories (i.e. category “featured” to put smth on silder and category “current” to put on TNBT).

b) I translate few words from your .po file but theme didn’t see it (i.e. I changed “Popular tags” for “Popularne tagi” ang I still have “Popular tags” on website. I use Poedit app to make changes.

2. OK, thx!

1. To change the words “current” and “featured” is explained in the Documentation how to do it.
2. For translation, please follow this tutorial http://www.wpexplorer.com/localize-translate-your-wordpress-themes/ from step 4.

If you have further questions, I’ll be glad to answer them via MAG Support

Hi! Great theme, I’m using it for my new travel magazine. I have three questions so far:

1) Can post from Next Big Think appears only in that section – but no on the latest artciles section?

2) Is it possible for featured image not to show after post title?

3) Can I put category sections just like latest articles on homepage? I.e. two or three categories sections?

Thanks! Dave from Poland :)

Hi There,

Thanks for purching my theme and for your nice words.
  1. Sorry, I am not sure I understand you correctly, as you can see from the demo “The Next Big Thing” is displayed in the home page and in the article page too.
  2. Yes, of course, this is an option of the theme: http://www.dropmocks.com//mHrQMT
  3. Unfortunately no, the theme has the option to display the latest articles as per demo.

Thx for response :)

1. I want to put posts in The Next Big Thing section (with “current” tag), right? But I don’t want them to appear on “latest articles” section on homepage – is it possible?

2. Thank you, I didn’t notice it :)

3. OK, but that will be great if I can do it :)

Yes is possible to hide it. I’ll be glad to help you via Mag Support

Hello, I have two pre-sales questions:

1.) I really like this theme except for the size of images I see on your demo page under “Latest Articles” and “The Next Big Thing”. The width is OK but the height is too small for me. I’d prefer to have square images instead of rectangular. Is this something I can change in the theme settings or would I need to make changes to the code? If the code, would you provide the instructions if I purchase the theme? Basically I’d like all images on the site (other than ads) to be square instead of rectangular.

2.) Are the images we see under “Latest Articles” and “The Next Big Thing” set as “Featured Images”? Does your theme offer the option of automatically inserting the first image in a post as the Featured Image (or the one that shows up to represent a post)?

Thank you!

Hi There,

Thanks for your interest!
1. Square Images: http://anthemes.com/themes/style/mag/masonry/ http://www.dropmocks.com//mHqL1f in other words, you can use the masonry style, and to the functions.php file add 283×283 and you’ll have square images, a very easy and simple change.

2. Yes, the images from “The Next Big Thing” and “Latest Articles” are featured images. Unfortunately the theme doesn’t have that option (automatically inserting the first image in a post as the Featured Image), in order to display an image in “The Next Big Thing” and “Latest Articles” for the home page, you’ll need to upload a featured image.

For your information, I’ve replied to your email too, also, If you like my work, don’t hesitate to follow me: http://themeforest.net/user/An-Themes/follow for more Blog / Magazine Themes!

Cheers :)

Hi there,

Is it possible to built a categroy page with posts sorted by review?

Is there anyway I can convert my ratings from to gd star rating to your theme?

With kind regards,

Jan

Hi Jan,

Thanks for your interest!
  1. Unfortunately will required custom work, or a plugin that can help you to accomplish that, because the theme doesn’t have that option.
  2. It depends if your old theme is using the same plugin, otherwise you’ll need to use your old plugin for your older articles and the new plugin that comes with my theme for the new articles / reviews you’ll add.

Cheers :)

I want t buy this but payment with envato is giving me error. Is there another site to get this theme.

Hi There,

I’m sorry you are having issues purchasing the theme. I’m not entirely sure what can resolve this but if you contact Themeforest support they will be able to assist you. You can fill out a ticket here, http://support.envato.com/

I tested on localhost and increased Live Search does not work, although I have installed Live Search plugin

Hi There,

Thanks for purchasing my theme!
Regarding your concern, please read the documentation for a properly configuration, some of the plugins need to be configured too, not only installed, also, I’ve replied to your email too.

thanks for the quick support . problem has been solved.

How does the advertisements section work? Is it possible to provide a screenshot of settings? Planning on having adsense in there so not sure how your solution works on it.

The time is 23:00 Saturday, like you can see I try to make you to understand some points! I have time for my customers that know how to treat an author and how they want to be treated, I’m very friendly, but after a long day, we all can have a bad day too, at the end of the day, we authors are humans too.

I really appreciate the feedback, honestly, sometimes is good sometimes is bad, thanks! Be sure I will take your review / 1 star as a base for upcoming improvements for all my themes, maybe is time to hire someone to deal with support. Sorry for time losing.

Have a nice weekend,
Cheers :)

OK thank you, I accept that and you never know with a good update the stars can always increase ;-)

So that all know, AN-THEMES have resolved any problems we had and gone out of their way to keep me as a client and offer a 5 star services. THANK YOU AN-THEMES! It’s good to feel like a client and know that I can purchase your themes knowing you would offer support and are open to suggestions and feature requests.

I noticed an issue on your demo: when you click on a sharing icon on the left of the screen, instead of a popup, a new tab is opened. You should probably take a look and let me know if this is how it is supposed to be.

Thank you for your answer! :)

I’m one step from buying this beautiful theme. I can somehow live with the fact that it will be almost impossible to implement a background takeover advertisement for lower resolution screens or the fact that I will have to manually implement 728*90 banner at the top (in the header area) BUT the only thing that turns me down is that the sidebar goes below content on a 1024 * 768 resolution monitor. Otherwise, it’s great!

What you see is that the content is more important than the sidebar, so when the screen is to small, the sidebar is moved to the bottom, an then the masonry style is activated for the widgets, that’s how the theme works. The most important part of the theme is the content, so no plans to change it at this moment.

Anyway I’m always glad for any kind of constructive feedback. Be sure you voice has been heard, thanks for your interest.

Cheers :)

Nice design. Can you post the settings/options page, I want to see that before I make the purchase. Good luck and good work. :)

Hi There,

Thanks for your interest!
Hopefully my Theme “MAG” will be your first purchase, some of the options: http://i.cubeupload.com/kG0yhT.png http://i.cubeupload.com/fxk6pF.png http://i.cubeupload.com/QD2bIP.png

Cheers :)

Does this theme only offer a 3 three column layout or do you have the option to create as many columns as you’d like? Great theme by the way! Thanks!

Hi There,

Thanks for your interest & nice words!
Regarding your concern, yes, the theme has only the options / features that can been seen in the demo.

Also, If you like my work, don’t hesitate to follow me: http://themeforest.net/user/An-Themes/follow for more Blog / Magazine Themes!

Hi there, nice work! I really like the design and I want to use it but I want many more things in it. I almost keep making small changes and may I hope updates at least every month? Are you committed to provide quality support and keep adding features? :)

And good luck too.

Blocks?! Please take another look at my demo / item description, there isn’t any block there, only the latest articles. About the older theme, if it was created with latest WordPress standards and everything is added to plugins, like shortcodes etc, you’ll need to let the plugins activated, other ways tha shortcodes will not show, obviously.

Any plan on adding those in future? And will I need to edit those shortcodes manually? And I would need some small features from your older themes too :)

Maybe, if this will be a common request of our customers.

Great theme. Would like to see more top slideshow options. Huge images are not really preferred due to load time and the amount of space they occupy.

Hi There,

Thank you. I’ll consider your suggestion during next updates.
The theme has a great speed without using any caching plugin, so don’t need to worry about “big” images, like you can see from the demo, there aren’t so big, anyway, the “big” images are featured posts by the tag “featured” if don’t add any tag with that word, the slider will be disabled.
