Question by Shenelle
Hey,
This is my very first time purchasing a wordpress theme. What type of assistance is offered? Could I hire you to fill in the info for the site the first time around, and then continue with the updates on my own? What would be the price range for that?
Answer by Michael Pollock
Hi Shenelle. When you purchase a theme, you have free lifetime access to the solostream support forum. Typically, the type of support that’s provided there revolves around how to set up and use the theme. If you need guidance on using WordPress itself, there’s an abundant supply of guidance and information here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page.
As far as setting up the theme, there’s an install and set-up guide for each theme found on that theme’s demo site, however, it would be good if you understood how WordPress works first.
Question by Anne
Hi,
I just bought the theme – paypal payment will take 2-3 days because I have no credit card and the bank transfer takes some time.
Now I am wondering how I receive the wordpress theme for installation on my side when payment is finished. So this is kind of a pre-sales-after-sales-mixed question, I really hope it’s okay to post it here.
Besides: I really love this theme, well, I guess that’s why I couldn’t resist to buy it for my site ;-) It’s the perfect package of stylish yet clear look and great functionality like video integration, social network integration and gravatar.
Answer by Michael Pollock
Hi Anne. Thanks for the purchase. Once your payment is processed, you’ll receive an email that provides the download link for the theme.
Question by Shenelle Wallace
Does this provide auto image resizing?
Answer by Michael Pollock
Hi Shenelle. Yes, the theme will resize the images. However, you should try to use images that are sized according to a ration of 3:2. For example, 300px wide X 200px height or 600×400. If you use an image with a ration different than that, it may appear a bit deformed.
Question by raghu

Thanks Raghu. The theme does not include a RTL stylesheet, but you’re welcome to create your own.
Question by val

Answer by Michael Pollock
Yes, you can do that, Val.
Question by Jim
Hi-
I am looking to put up a community portal / news type website that will prominently feature a comprehensive events calendar. I like your WP-Media theme for this, but have the following questions:
1. I will be using the http://trumba.com events calendar. It essentially functions as a widget directly from their servers. Can I intergrate it with WP-Media on the front page – directly UNDER the image slider at top where you are currently showing the “Photo Galleries”? The other possibility is un
2. Are there more color options? I am looking for something in a softer green than you have.
3. Can I easily change the background image – I really don’t like what you are currently showing (it looks like my grandmother’s doilies!)
4. Ongoing support???? This is always the big question. Thanks.
I really appreciate your timely response. I am looking to move forward asap and am zeroing in on two or three possibilities including WP-Media.
Thanks!
jim
Answer by Michael Pollock
Hi Jim. I’m not aware of anyone who’s ever used Trumba with our themes, so I can’t say for sure how well it would integrate. The best I can say is that I’m not aware of anything that would prevent it.
The color options shown on the demo site are the only ones provided via the theme settings page, however, you can modify colors via the stylesheet as well.
The background image is easy to change.
All of our premium themes, such as this one, include lifetime access to the Solostream Support Forum.
Question by Joseph Konop
I have used this theme to make the following website http://www.idealbrisbaneproperty.com
Question by Alex
Hi there
I like this theme, just a few questions before I buy it. Can you easily change the background (the bit behind the website) design and colour of the website? (it looks like wallpaper, I want it to be plain). Also I want to know if video (flash – youtube) can be easily embedded on any page of the website (obviously aside from the home page)? I want a video with nearly every post I make. Plus the top three post areas that scroll along (top of the page) I notice only 1 is a video post, can all of them be set as video posts?
Cheers Alex
Answer by Michael Pollock
Hi Alex. Yes, you can easily change the body background to a solid color via the theme settings page.
Video can be embedded pretty easily into a wordpress post if you have the embed code.
There’s also guidance here to create a video post. And you can have as many video posts in the feature content section as you like.
Question by JD Marcos
Hi there! Are coded videos supported (such as YouTube, Vimeo, etc), and do they load properly on the carousel? …or must the videos be actual files uploaded onto the website in order for it to work. Does that make sense? Please let me know. Thank you!
Answer by Michael Pollock
Hi JD. I’m not completely sure what you mean. Regardless of the theme you use, you can post video on a WordPress site by pasting the embed code (provided by youtube or vimeo) into the post editor.
As for WP-MediaMag, the actual videos do not show up on the featured content slider; just and image.
Question by Edgar Islas
hello it’s me again, what I’m looking for it’s to have the wp-mediamag theme, and I would like to know if there is a chance I can add the news “carrousel” you have in the Genius theme, I guess what you call the featured content glider, so maybe it’s a little repetitive but I would like to have both gliders in the same front page, the one from wp-genius and the one from wp-mediamag, thanks in advance, Edgar.
Answer by Michael Pollock
Something like that could be done, but it would require quite a bit of custom programming. If that’s something you’d like to pursue, we can provide an estimate to complete the project.
Question by david
can i try it be for i buy it to make sure load time etc works
Answer by Michael Pollock
Hi David. No, we don’t offer any sort of free trial. If you buy the theme and have a problem with it, our support team will help you fix it. If a satisfactory solution can not be provided, we’ll offer a refund.
Question by Edgar Islas
Hello, I made up my mind, I will contact you tomorrow in order to place my order for this theme, I just have a little doubt, is there a chance I can personalize this theme and I would love to include above the carrousel, the news widget you have in your WP Genius theme?
Thanks in advance,
Edgar.
Answer by Michael Pollock
Hi Edgar. Yes, you can personalize the theme as much as you like. I’m not clear what you mean by the “news widget.” Can you explain that a bit further?
Question by Ralf
Hi,
I would like to change my old theme to WP Media Mag.
Still my blog is in german I need a theme where I can change the labguage
Can I do it with WP Media Mag ?
Ralf
Answer by Michael Pollock
Hi Ralf. WP-MediaMag uses the Gettext function throughout the theme to make translation easier. You would just need to create the .po file that’s needed to complete the translation.
Question by nick

Answer by Michael Pollock
Hi Nick. Sure, we can show you how to change that.
Question by Lee Streater
Greetings,
Love you Media layout!!! Thank you so much.
I am looking to add a chat room to my layout on a page.
Do you have any plugin suggestions or reasonably priced software that you would
recommend I use for your WordPress theme, WP-Media Mag.
I was think that Facebook had an open platform that would I could use to open up on a page in the magazine site? Am I right or wrong about this? If I’m right can you tell me who to talk to about making this happen on my magazine…If you know how to do it would you be willing to email me directions :)
Thanks so much and I love your work.
My email-
Lee@iEngineerMedia.com
Answer by Michael Pollock
Hi Lee. Thanks for the kind words. I can’t recommend any specific chat-room plugins or scripts as I’ve never used any of them. I’m not familiar with Facebook’s platform; didn’t know they had anything like that. Sorry.
Question by Edgar Islas
I noticed you have the subscription widget which I really like, but maybe I wouldn’t need it in the first version of my page, is there an easy way to “turn it off” and then “turn it on” again? Please consider I’m not that tech savy, thanks in advance.
Answer by Michael Pollock
Hi Edgar. If you don’t want to use an email subscription or social media links, the only item that will show up is the RSS feed link. This is all very easy to control via the Theme Settings Page.
Question by Dawn Pieke
Can a Discussions Forum – with many different subjects – widget be added to this particular template?
Answer by Michael Pollock
Again, yes, you can any widgets that you an to add.
Question by Dawn Pieke
What are the color options for the WP-MediaMag template?
Can the background (the design) be changed to something else?
Am I able to add a widget for an events calendar or some type of event listing format?
Answer by Michael Pollock
Hi Dawn. If you go to the demo site, you can see the color options by selecting them from the top navigation bar.
Also, there are some settings on the Theme Settings Page that allow you to change the body background to a solid color or some other image if you like.
Yes, you can add any widgets you’d like to add.
Question by Keith Dunlop
Greetings,
I am a photojournalist and I’m trying to find a new template that can serve as both an article based blog, but also feature photo galleries with lightbox features.
“WP-MediaMag” looks like a possibility, but I’m wondering about the ease of adding functionality to photo galleries.
Thanks in advance!
Keith
Answer by Michael
Hi Keith. There are several WordPress plugins available that can add the lightbox functionality for you quite easily. My best advice would be to try a search in the WordPress plugins directory. Shutter Reloaded is one that I’ve personally tested with WP-MediaMag, and it works very well.
Question by Jeff L Long
Thanks. How long does this theme typically take to set up?
Answer by Michael
In general, it doesn’t take long to install and set it up. There’s an install guide here. Of course, you make want to make tweaks and mods beyond that, so there’s no predicting how long you might spend on that.
Question by Jeff L Long
Like what exactly? I just want to make sure it is something I address.
Answer by Michael
Web page load time is affected by many things, such as the amount of content on the page, the size of any images used, the efficiency of your web host, any plugins that may be used and various other factors. One way to speed things up is to use a cache Wordpress plugin such as WP Super Cache or W3 Total Cache.
Question by Jeff L Long
Thanks. Do you think your theme will help my load time?
Answer by Michael
Unfortunately, there’s no way to predict that Jeff. It’s based on too many variables.
Question by Jeff L Long
How does support and upgrades work? I am interested in buying this theme, but want to make sure I get support with it, I have been using a free theme and it does not always keep up with the latest version of Wordpress.
Answer by Michael
Hi Jeff. All Premium WordPress themes, such as WP-MediaMag, include free life access to the Solostream Support forum as well as free lifetime upgrades. There’s also a list of FAQs that should answer other questions you may have. If not, feel free to ask as many questions as you need to.
Question by Andrew
Hi I want to buy this theme and i would like to change some of the bits in the theme when I buy it do I get the code as well?
Answer by Michael
Yes, Andrew. You receive all the files with all the code, and you can modify it as much as you like.
