  2. This is an excellent theme that suits my needs, but I am wondering if it’s possible to make changes to the “HitMag: Sidebar Posts”? What I want is to change “Popular” to display “politics” and rather than “comments” displaying “Editorial”
    Is that possible, or will I have to use another block entirely?

    Reply

    1. Hi Elise,

      I am sorry currently it is not possible. However I will make sure to give that as a Block on our BNM Blocks plugin in really soon.

      Thank you.

  3. Hi,
    Instead of using a widget to display latest posts or posts from a choosen category, is it possible to do this with shortcode?

    Reply

    1. Hi Duke,

      I am sorry it is not possible to use HitMag widgets as shortcodes currently. However if what you want to do is to add widgets inside a page or post you can use our BNM Blocks plugin instead.

      Thank you.

  8. Excellent Theme! Thank you. I have a question:

    When I chosed the language in spanish and put the Widget Popular, Comments and Tags (in this case: “Popular”, “Comentarios” and “Etiquetas”) these tabs name doesn’t enter in the tabs, and the “Etiquetas” Tab skip to the next line, unfortunaly altering the widget shape. How I can fix it? How I can change the titles of this tabs or size? Or disable one of them (e.g. Tags)

    1. Hi Rubel,

      Since you don’t want to display the same image twice you can hide the featured image, only on single posts. Please go to Dashboard > Appearance > Customize > Post Options and select the hide option on the “Featured image inside single post” switch.

      Thank you.

    I have been editing the Main Sidebar and I have several “add block” objects displayed. On the rendered webpage, these “add block” objects show up as blank space.
    Is there a way to get rid of them so they don’t show up as white space?

      If the Add Block objects are empty you need to delete them from the backend widget area in order to remove that blank space.

    1. Hi,

      You can use Site Origin Page Builder with “Page Builder” page template to create any layout you like. Just select the “Page Builder” page template instead of “Magazine Homepage” page template for your homepage and create any layout you like. Then add HitMag Magazine Widgets. You can use the Elementor page builder also.

      Thank You.

  38. Hi, i am trying to hide the sidebar on some pages – i have installed the Content Aware Sidebars to allow me to hide the sidebar – because I am now showing a different sidebar that has no widgets added, it should hide the sidebar but it doesn’t – instead there is just whitespace. I think it is something to do with the function is_active_sidebar( ‘target-sidebar’ ) which is different in your theme than the default code.

    Can you help please?

    Thank you in advance

    1. Hi Josephine,

      You can change your post or page layout from the post or page edit screen if you want to change layout uniquely. Go to post/page edit screen and find the “Select Layout” metabox.

      If you want to change your page layout globally please go to Appearance > Customize > Page Options > Content and Sidebar Alignment ( For post layouts use Post Options > Content and Sidebar Alignment )

      I hope this will help you. If not please leave a reply.

  39. Hey
    Is there any chance I can customize the slider?
    I’d like to set one category for each one of the buttons/icons below the slider, so it could update automatically the specific category slide when I post something new, instead of being latest posts.

    Thanks a lot

    Reply

    1. Hi,

      Yes. Create a new category specifically for the slider. For example create a category called “Featured”. Then assign posts to that category those you want to display on the slider. Then choose the slider category as “Featured” from the slider settings of the customizer.

      I hope this will help you. If not please leave a reply.

      I am sorry for the late reply. To do that make a category specifically for slider. Name it whatever you want. For example “Featured”. Then assign this category to posts those you want to display in slider. Then choose that “Featured” category for the slider from the slider settings at customizer.

      I hope this will help you.

  50. Saying more about how I want my site to look: it’s https://go4ward.info/risescitech. What we’d like to do is designate some posts as quick takes — very short — and put them the sidebar, not in the main content area. But nothing happens when I select ‘right sidebar’ as the layout option. Is it because we already use a sidebar widget? Any help would be most appreciated.

  51. Hi Pubudu,

      As mentioned in the documentation please install the “Regenerate Thumbnail” plugin and run it once to resize all the images at once.

      Thank You.

    1. Hi Sina,

      To show images on the slider you need to set featured images for the posts those are shown in the slider.

      Thank You.

    1. Dear Cheryle,

      Since Gravatar is the WordPress’s by default Avatar service, we have added support for that. However I found a plugin called WP User Avatar which gives you the ability use your site’s media library images to use as Avatar. Could you please try this plugin? Here is it -https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-user-avatar/

      Thank You.

    1. Hi Tracy,

      I am sorry for the late reply. Yes of course you can display latest 5 posts in the slider instead of posts from a category. Go to Dashboard > Appearance > Customize > Slider Settings. Then select “–Show All Posts–” in the select dropdown which is titled under “Select the category for slider posts”.

      Thank You.

        1. Hi Belal,

          What is the option you are looking for? There are only two options in the slider settings. And the slider displays only on the “Magazine Homepage”. So you need to create a magazine homepage first. There are many options in the PRO version.

          Thank You.

    1. Hi Revathi,

      It cannot display images in the WordPress default recent posts widget. Please use the Sidebar Posts widget that comes with HitMag theme. You can use it to display recent posts with images.

      Thanks.

          They are displayed by the Jetpack plugin. Go to Dashboard > Jetpack > Settings and turn off the Related Posts Module.

          Thank You.

  76. Hi,

    I can’t seem to get rid of the white space area in the header. This is usually the area where the site name and tagline go, but I want to hide them so that I can just use my own logo image. How can I get rid of the white bar because it makes the alignment off?

    Thanks!

    Carlos

    1. Hi Carlos,

      Please copy and paste the following css code in the Additional CSS area of the customizer to remove that white space.

      .header-main-area {
      display: none;
      }

      I hope this will help you.

      Thanks.

  77. Hi,

    I have been using the free version of this website to test it out, and I really like it. It is well designed and user friendly. On the free version, I believe that you can only use the magazine template on the home page. Is it possible to have magazine templates with different content in each on different pages in the paid for version?

    Thank you

  78. I really like this theme! But I cannot find where I can access the header.php file so that I can put Google console and Google analytics codes in there. Can you point me in a good direction?

  80. Hi,
    First thanks for the amazing theme!

    I just need to know if this theme supports (RTL) option, also if can be used with the polylang & WPML plugins, in case to use it for several languages.

    thanks again.

  81. Hello, is there a way to control the “related posts”? (How many, relate them using Categories and/or Tags and/or more complex semantic rules…)

    I feel like it would be a great addition… assuming these options are not somewhere already!

    1. Hi Valerio,

      In HitMag Pro version there is an option to select related posts based on category or tag.

      Thank You.

      1. Any chance on an a future update we will be able to change the number of related posts that are shown? I’d like to be able to show two rows of three related posts, ideally.

      2. Ive just purchased the Pro version given that it supposedly has this feature, but it doesnt. It forces you to manually select a category which completely defeats the purpose of showing “related posts”?????

        Could you please explain how the related posts change dynamically inline with the current post being viewed, or are they just “fixed” per category??

        Reply

        1. Dear John,

          Yes, HitMag Pro displays related posts based on the current viewing post’s category or tags.

          We cannot go beyond that in a theme because those kinds of complex tasks like analyzing the all the posts and displaying related posts must do with a plugin. Because theme’s task is just to provide a graphical interface.

          So if you want to display related posts in an advanced way I highly recommend to use Jetpack plugin’s related posts module. Because it does all the analysis, processing, and serving from their cloud, so there is no additional load on your server.

          Thank You.

          1. Pubudu, Id prefer not to have to use another plugin for this. Related posts work perfectly and show under the post, but it would be fantastic to be able to show them in the sidebar.

      1. Blog, on the other hand is not a category. In blog WordPress displays all the posts those belong to all the categories or uncategorized posts. You can create a page to and assign it to display blog posts. Please read the documentation ( Magazine Homepage > Adding a blog post page when magazine homepage is activated ) to learn how to do that.

    2. Hi Mike,

      You don’t have to create a page to display all the posts belong to a particular category. Only you have to do is create a category from Dashboard > Posts > Categories > Add New. Then assign posts to that category from posts. That category archive page will be created automatically for you. You can find the link to that category archive page from Dashboard > Appearance > Menus. There is a toggled menu in the left side of the Menus page. Find the “Categories” section from that toggled menu and mark and add the category to the menu. It will link to the particular category archive.

      Thank You.

  85. Hi Pubudu,

    Can I use the Pro Hit Mag theme on more that one site without have to buy the theme every wp website?

    I have several different blogs … and Pro Hit Mag will work great with all of them. I have one website
    under development right now, and I would like to consider using Pro HitMag.

    Thank you.

    1. Hi Mitch,

      If all the domains belong to you, you can use one HitMag Pro theme for all of your sites without any problem.

      Thank You.
