I am migrating to a different domain and i already have my product registered with my original purchase code

I only REQUEST A PURCHASE CODE RESET

thanks

Replied via email, thanks for the additional info

solved thanks

I bought another license period, I removed it from an old site and I can’t put it on the new one. On your support site it still says that I am not entitled to support, even with the renewed license.

Hello, please write to support@qantumthemes.com and include your purchase code, we will check this for you.

Regards

I just paid $50 to renew support for six months, but it won’t let me contact you guys through support. It’s still saying my purchase code is expired. I just emailed you. Please help! Thanks.

Hello and thanks for your support extension, very appreciated. This normally takes 24 hours but I’ll try to spped up things for you right now, please hold on.

Thanks for your kind patience, the support has been manually refreshed on your profile and you can access from the link below:

Thanks again for choosing our services, wish you a good day!

Hello Hello, I have the following error Uncaught TypeError: DOMXPath::__construct(): Argument #1 ($document) must be of type DOMDocument, string given in https:\\...\wp-content\plugins\qtmplayer\inc\parts \part-post-playlist.php:101 when i update to php 8, we already updated the theme to version 1.5.0. Thanks in advance

I’m sure I’ll have to buy the theme again to solve the error, but I would like to know if you have available as a plugin the function of QTM Player to use with another page builder like Divi for example

Hello, it seems you have no license… The aforementioned issue with pho 8 was solved a long time ago… If you’re on the latest theme version and the issue continues please let us know.

About the player, the non stop functionality needs to be part of the theme, every single piece needs to be compatible with this function, so you can’t add it to just any theme.

We have many new other themes for podcasting, also with Elementor, many demos and many new features. Please contact us for more info at support@qantumthemes.com also about your PHP issue

Regards

Hello! I really love the look of this theme! I have a few questions before purchasing that I can’t figure out from looking at the demo.

1) How much information can be put in the staff boxes? Are custom links and social media buttons able to be added? Can you adjust the number shown per row?

2) Is it possible for a longer bio to be displayed on an author’s archive page?

3) Can select authors be shown on specific pages with the shortcodes or assigned to a specific series?

4) Are “Series” or “Topic” customizable or are they automatically pulled from categories and keywords? Can some things be excluded?

5) Can the “results” on the headers be hidden?

6) I’m currently using powerpress and have over a thousand episodes already posted through my wordpress site. Has your theme been successfully, seamlessly installed on an established podcast website before? I don’t want it resending all my shows out or something.

Oh! Also, on the author archive page, is it possible to show a collection of series instead of individual episodes?

Hello! 1. Well you can put more content, but that would not look very nice, for this is better to have more content in the single page instead.

2. Yes you can put a longer bio

3. Authors are linked to single episodes, that’s managed by wordpress. Authors can’t be linked to series

4. Series are basically like categories, you can customize the image and name. Not sure what you mean as “pulled from categories and keyword” but you can use plugins to convert a Category term into a Series, without breaking the connection with existing posts from your website

5. Yes, our support can do this for you

6. Yes you can import them with PowerPress. Most of our customers do this. You can also use SecondLine podcast importer otherwise

7. No, authors archives cannot display series simply because series are not linked to authors in WordPress.

I think we do have another product which may better fit your needs at this link, maybe you’re looking for somethign different: podcast.pro.radio

Perhalps this has more flexibility for your needs.

Regards

Thank you for your honest answers. I’ll check out that other theme! :)

I’m trying to install the theme again on the same domain but it’s saying license is already in use. Please reset the license, the reason I have to reinstall it is because my domain and hosting got expired.

Hi, your license was linked to a temporary staging subdomain, and was never used on a production environment, so you can now reuse it on your production site. Regards

Hello, in a future update of the “Wpcast” theme, is there a way to add “Twitch.TV”, “Spotify”, “Deezer”, “Google Podcasts” in the “Social networks” settings , and also to remove “Googleplus” which no longer exists? THANKS

Sorry that’s not related with the theme, RSS are handled by wordpress itself (there is a podcasting standard in WordPress which we are not modifying).

There are quite some plugins to add images and other details as the author in the feed, so there is not point in having the theme acting on that.

Unfortunately I have already tried this type of plugins, but they are quite resource intensive and often tend to slow down the site… I thought that there was perhaps a way to be able to configure a simpler solution in the theme with a suitable configuration for the QT Series?

I’m sorry we don’t have any similar solution for this, it’s out of the territory of our software… Regards

Hello, you have commented and suggested to someone asking for Soundcloud that blubrry is cheaper than Soundcloud and that is totally wrong! 1Tb monthly bandwidth on blubrry costs 100$ per MONTH! Soundcloud has a 15000 plays limit per day on their 80$ per year subscription. The important factor with streaming is bandwidth! Not the tracks upload limit downloads etc…

:) how can you say your videos are 15% havier. You can’t just calculate the audio + the image…

The video is totally reencoded. Also the original discussion was about audios and soundcloud… not sure how now is about videos :o

We don’t sell streaming services so have no advantage in suggesting one service compared to another, for is is a matter of what you an or cannot do with the service you use.

If you stream videos this makes absolutely NO difference since whatever platform you go with, you’ll basically embed a third party player, which video streaming requires a dedicated video platform.

While for audio that’s very different and you could also host mp3s in your own server, even though third party hosting services give you a better quality of streaming and more space/bandwidth than a website hosting does. So it’s actually not costing a fortune, instead is LESS expensive than hosting mp3 podcast files on your own hosting.

Now you move the discussion about videos which sincerely I don’t understand how is connected with the initial ticket…

Ok, my mp3 song is 8mb and the video version of it with a still picture is 10mb. So Vimeo platform informs me of a 2TB bandwidth use within a month. Do the simple calculations. Using a 240 video quality with 192 mp3 audio is around the same either with video or with audio. So as I have only music tracks I was looking for a way to use mp3s instead of video versions of my music and have low monthly costs. It’s all about kbps at the very end. All hosting servers including the ones you suggested are costing a fortune. I was looking to your theme app in here but it is all up to the hosting servers for my music and its monthly costs. I don’t know what else to say.

It’s great to have a framing of the requirements… If the track is this size, the best option is for sure to host it in the same server of the website. Actually a streaming hosting is more recommended in case of podcasts above 60Mb (1Hour) while for smaller files they can be hosted in the same wordpress hsoting site without problems.

Streaming hosting is way more expensive than website hosting, because it handles fiels differently, but for small files like that it’s indeed not required.

Hello can you software use soundcloud private track embed code to play my own private tracks? Thanks

Hello, if you set a track as private, only people accessing from the private link can listen.

With our theme you can load an mp3 track to make it available only from your site.

We have other options available that could be interesting for you, please ask more info to our email Support@qantumthemes.com as we could find alternative ways for your specific needs.

Pre-sales Questions: 1) Must I use WP Bakery to edit this theme? 2) Is this theme still being updated? I see no updates since 2022?

Hello! 1) yes this theme is based on wpBakery

2) Yes the theme is up to date and working perfectly, we had an update on the 22 December, no issues occurred since then so no updates were required.

We have a lot of podcasting themes and alternatives, please feel free to contact our presale at info@qantumthemes.com so we can send you a list of themes and examples for podcasting, even with Elementor editor.

Hi There,

What a great theme you had. Another reason why I bought this theme is because the audio player still playing even I move to another page. But when I tried in my localhost, it doesn’t work. Is there any setting for that?

Thanks.

Hello there, thanks for your fast response. I tried with Mozilla Firefox and it’s running well. Thanks. I was wondering why it didnt work with Google Chrome browser?

Thanks.

probably you were logged in with chrome?

yes I am.

hello,

I was wondering, how to sort the QT Serie list at front page? I use series grid – large, and I noticed that the QT Serie is randomly sorted.

Thanks

hello, it seems that the plugin already installed, bundled wiht your theme. how to use it?

You’ll find an item in the left menu, under Posts, to reorder the categories (is drag and drop)

hello, thanks for your help. it is working!

Hello,

Could you tell me why I get this when I click the wpcast menu?

Thanks

Hi, that’s a notification. You should have them turned off in the production environment. Not sure why you have it on, but you can paste this in the file named functions.php of the child theme (which you should be using)

if(function_exists(‘error_reporting’)){error_reporting(E_ERROR);}

in this way you will only see real errors, and not soft notifications.

thanks for your response. somehow the error gone without doing nothing.

It was in fact not an error but a notification that some parameter was not set. The paramerter was probably set in the meantime, so it’s not appearing. Still you should disable notifications in frontend, is much better.

Hello, I just bought your wonderful theme. I was wondering can I import the audio from my ancho? How?

Thanks.

Issue found and fixed, please check now

https://capture.dropbox.com/yxAskhvO7Vzzdmvu

Hello, Thanks for your response. I’ve checked it’s working but there’s still some issues:

1. The play button at the inside QT serie box and post header doesn’t work.

play-button-1-doesnt-work.jpg

play-button-2-doesnt-work.jpg

2. The audio stops playing when it change to other page, not always running like the demo version.

Please help.

Thank you for your kind feedback. The issue was found and fixed.

Actually the importer plugin changed the format of the track in the post, so we updated the plugin to recognise it.

I already updated your website. Regards

i want to purchase this but is it possible to hide downloading audios

Hello, we might have some solution for you, but I need to put you in contact with another department. Would you mind emailing us to support@qantumthemes.com for your specific question? We might have some upcoming news that can work for you.

I bought a support renewal for the WPCast theme but I don’t have access to Qantum helpdesk, it says: “Support period expired.”, can you help me please?

Checking, please hold on

I’ve manually refreshed your support status. It normally takes 24 hours to be updated, that’s why it was saying expired.

Thank you for supporting our service, we will reply to your ticket in the shortest time possible. Regards

Does this theme allow for posting of video versions of a podcast? My plan is to have audio with RSS from Libsyn and video from YouTube.

Hi, yes you can make a post with a video but it doesn’t play in the theme player since that’s only for audio. For libsyn no problem you can also import all podcasts automatically

I’m loving your theme so far!

It would be wonderful to see some Podcasting 2.0 and “Value-4-Value” functionality integrated into this theme, allowing listeners to support podcast creators via streaming sats (Bitcoin), Boostagrams, etc. – Maybe something to look into possibly integrating?

Just an FYI, all throughout this theme (and its documentation), you use the term “serie” referring to what is supposed to be “series”. The use of the term “serie” is a misspelling. The plural and singular use of “series” are the same. ;) I wouldn’t have an issue with this if it was only a backend misuse, but the public/frontend also shows this in cases where there are no results for a specific series. Maybe something to address in a future update?

Hello and thanks for your kind feedback and suggestion, sorry for the misspelling. About the mentioned functionality, I’d recommend the plugin “GiveWP” which allows to make donations with any payment method (except crypto for what I know ATM).

Developing custom functions from scratch would be extremely expensive and we’re for sure not able to cover such costs with the incomes from Themeforest, sorry…
