Is the home page available in the demo content that is on the preview?
Nevermind – I never had the content blocks, etc in my Dashboard
Ok, glad you found it.
Another issue:
The HTML <title> remains blank for the home page. This can be witnessed in the demo/preview also: http://themes.metaphorcreations.com/zen/
Cheers
Thanks. We will be resolving this in the next update.
Thank you for the effort!
Hello!
One more IE8 problem, this time for the regular, non-mobile navigation:
The :hover styles (e.g., a pink background) for sub menu items (e.g., “Features” in the preview) are not applied at all, or only for the very first sub menu item.
Actually, on all of my Windows machines, there seems to be a timing issue involved. The :hover styles do work as expected for about 1 or 2 seconds after a page refresh, but then the above mentioned, faulty behavior kicks in.
This issue was also present in version 1.2.3.
As a general remark, I didn’t find the theme coded as cleanly as could be. E.g., /js/html5.js is (conditionally) included in the header even though it doesn’t exist.
I understand that IE8 is a bitch, but still, from a professional author and a $40 theme advertised as compatible with IE8, I expect such details to be sorted out…
Could you look at this please?
Thanks a lot for your help!
Please let us know if you still have this issue after updating to 1.2.5. We are not seeing the issue, but it may have been resolved due to a couple modifications with the last update. Thanks for letting us know about the html5.js, we have removed this from the header.php file.
Thank you for the quick response!
I’ll have a try as soon as possible.
Reading my post again, I hope you didn’t get me wrong. I didn’t mean to be offensive, I like your work a lot and am glad about the support.
1.2.5 didn’t solve this issue for me.
When I hover over the sub entries in the “FEATURES” menu, I still don’t get highlighted pink backgrounds in IE8…
I’ll try to come up with more material that may help you debug this.
Can you create a ticket here: http://metaphorcreations.ticksy.com/ for this issue so we can discuss it further? Thanks!
Sorry about the poor response time. I created the ticket: http://metaphorcreations.ticksy.com/ticket/53199
I stumbled over an other issue with menu.js:
In blog posts, e.g., this one in the preview, the following JavaScript error pops up:
This causes other user installed scripts, e.g., lightbox, to fail.
[edit: link to blog post]
I guess there’s an easy fix to the previous issue with menu.js:
neuron_vars should be replaced with zen_vars…
Yes, I am updating this now. Thanks for pointing it out.
Thanks!
How do I create a gallery using this template?
You need to have the Projects post type (plugin) installed. That will allow you to create projects, which all can have a gallery.
To create the slider that is show on the homepage use the Featured Sliders post type (plugin). Fore more instruction please read the Featured Sliders section of the documentation.
Thanks for your purchase!
The favicon doesn’t work. I uploaded one and it’s not showing. There’s also not a favicon in the demo theme.
This issue has been resolved. Please update your theme through your WP Dashboard > Updates. Thanks for your purchase!
Ty for fixing that so quickly! How do you get the team page to show like this http://themes.metaphorcreations.com/zen/meet-our-team/ cause mine looks like this without the title and social media icons http://debbiesdazzlingdivas.com/team/
You’re welcome! You need to set the Archive Page via the Team Members > Settings > Archive Page drop down.
Thanks. I actually fixed it by setting the Page Template to Team Members Archive Page – I guess there’s two ways to do the same thing. I feel like I’m missing instructions. Maybe they’re in the main download file, but that has 3 hours to go, something’s wrong there. I have a super fast Internet connection. I want to find out how to add the content blocks on the home page like in the demo. I created content blocks, added it below the home page, but I don’t see where to add the title and icon for the block. Is it simply a header with a left aligned icon image within the block or are there sections for these?
Yep, the page templates where added in an updated. For your content block question, those blocks are just using basic content setup with the content editor. There aren’t any specific fields or inputs to create the layout of the content within them. Here is an example of one of them (use the html editor when pasting):
Hello
I ran into two minor issues regarding translating the theme:
languagesdirectory don’t seem to get picked up. I had to move the files into the parent theme’slanguagesdirectory to make the translations work..entry-metasection (i.e. “By: ”, “Date: ”, etc.) are not translatable, since they are hard-coded into the functionzen_entry_meta().We are looking into this. Thanks for letting us know!
We have updated to ZEN 1.2.9 which adds the entry meta prefixes into the localization. We have also updated the included child theme to allow for localization. You can add in into your current child theme’s functions.php file by adding:
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'zen_child_theme_setup' ); /** * Add localization * * @since 1.0.1 */ function zen_child_theme_setup(){ load_child_theme_textdomain( 'zen-child', get_stylesheet_directory().'/languages' ); $test = __('ZEN child test string', 'zen-child'); }Just be sure to have a directory called “languages” within your child theme. Also be sure to change the text-domain if you are not using ‘zen-child’ as your child theme directory.
Great! Thank you very much for the effort.
how can i found the code?? Could you mail me please!!
There are a few ways you could do it, but the sample site uses the Content Blocks & Additional Content Boxes plugin. Create a new Content Block called “Our clients” with 4 columns. Select Show Title, and then within each content area add one of your clients logos. Then save the post.
Then on the page you want the logos, place the content block shortcode within the Additional Content Below field. It should look like this (you’ll need to update the post id to your content block post id):
Also make sure to check the Enable checkbox to enable the Additional Content Below.
i have the Metaphor Shortcodes plugin installed.
Is there something special that needs to be done for the “Projects” pages? When I set it up on my site, I see all my project’s thumbnails, but when I click on any of the thumbnails, I receive Page Not Found. It works fine when I have default permalinks, but when I put in “ postname ” as my permalinks, I receive 404 errors.
On your demo, you have custom permalinks enabled and it works fine. Do you have any idea what could be causing this?
Do your other links (pages, etc…) work when you set a custom permalink?
Yep. Everything works fine, with exception to the “Project” section.
Ok. Make sure you don’t have a page with the same slug as the Projects post type slug. If this is not the issue please create a ticket here http://metaphorcreations.ticksy.com and we’ll help you get it going.
I think we’ve fixed the issue. I deleted everything in htaccess, and re-enabled permalinks. I will let you know if the problem resurfaces.
