I set up this theme. But it’s too slow loading first page. Can you recommend to solve? My first page mostly same demo. I think too much image on first page. But I want use like a demo
Hey Thepilia,
Thanks for choosing 15Zine, I hope you enjoy using it 
If it’s slow, there is a good chance it is due to unoptimized images. But first, install W3 Total Cache plugin, and then put your site on this speed test:
https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/And see what it says, if it says you need to optimize images, then install Smush.it plugin to try to optimize them.

Cubell,
Any way to remove the date from the Grid only?
Hey Roman,
There sure is! Add this custom CSS:
.cb-grid-x .cb-byline .cb-date { display: none; }
Should do the trick. If not, add !important between the none and the ;

Hey Cubell,
Tried it and it worked. Thank you!
Awesome, you’re welcome!
Hi again. Unfortunately, I still got some issues after update: the sticky menu is not sticky. The same apply to the sidebar. Both elements are static.
Hey again,
Can you please open a ticket at http://cubellthemes.ticksy.com and include your site details to take a look?
Cubell
Hi, after update I got issues with sidebar not displaying correctly (it’s not showing on the right side, just below the page content, like in the mobile version of the site). Also, my menu disappeared from the page (http://tatoitamto.pl)
nevermind, I had to set it up again after update. Sorry for bothering you…
Hey there,
It’s no problem at all, happy you got it working 
Cubell
Hi, is it possible to disable the image hover color?
Hey Evobulgarevo,
Thanks for choosing 15Zine. I hope you enjoy using it.
Are you referring to grids/sliders? If so, you can turn it off by going to Theme Options -> Grids & Sliders. And setting both the transparency options to the same value. If you mean blog style images, then you can copy/paste the following code into your Theme Options -> Custom Code -> Custom CSS box:
.cb-img-fw a:hover img { opacity: 1; }
That will do the trick.

Hi Cubell!
I have a few questions about some issues im having.
- After updating the theme the view count on populair posts in the widget area stopt working
-Also when you dissable the header image on mobile devices it doesnt dissapear completly can you check for me on mobile please
-Also in my previous theme i used to use the 100% width option for youtube embeds it seems that this theme doesnt support that. The video’s come up al streched out van top to bottom. See example link provided underneath
http://fakka.nl/video-50-cent-murder-one/Also in future updates can you please provide a option to make the background of a post clickable with custom url please?
Please check and keep up the good work! Love this theme!
Best regards,
V
Hey V,
Hope you are well 
1- Have you refreshed all the site caches (Such as cache plugin, autoptimize, etc)?
2- Ah that is the ad loading. I am going to add an option in the next update to not load that on the mobile site. Currently the option only makes the logo not appear.
3- The theme does make YouTube embeds be 100% width and fully-responsive. Yours looks really strange! Can you try deleting the video code you have completely (go to Text view and delete any remaining code for it), then re-add the video naked URL to the post directly, so insert http://www.youtube.......
4- Currently the background ad takeover system is either used on global/homepage only, but I will look into that too.
Thanks again for choosing 15Zine.
Cubell
Hey Cubell,
Thanks for the reply!
Yes i did refresh, and on the mobile site its not the ad thats loding its a peace of the header background image that is showing under the logo bar on mobile.
Also for some reason the youtube embed even in new posts with the 100% option doesnt work for me. And to be honest man i cant look and find more than 2000 a 3000 youtube videos and correct them. Thats to much headache please. What should i do?
Also many thanks for looking in to the clickable background option!
Best and happy regards,
V
Hey again,
It’s no problem, happy to help 
I had a a deep look and figured it out! You have set a header background image, and set your logo image there. And you have a doubleclick script loading on the header ad, but it doesn’t seem this is an actual ad, are you tracking stuff with it? On mobile the ad is still visible and causing the header background to be visible.
The option in the theme isn’t to hide the header background, it’s to not load the actual logo. The solution is to set a logo image and to center it, simply set it to be centered. Then remove the header ad script and load it somewhere else (if it is tracking code), such as in the Custom Code Head or Footer boxes. And it will all work as expected.
Regarding YouTube, the theme definitely works properly and makes them responsive if they are added as naked YouTube urls. If you added videos in a previous theme and that theme added special code around it or was done via shortcodes, then that changes everything and there isn’t much the theme can do about that! If you go to an old post with a non-responsive video, edit it and see how the video is added, and copy/paste here all the code you have for it exactly as you do there to better understand it.
Cubell
Hi Cubell,
Thanks for the reply again!
This is the kinda embed code i used to use for every video: (iframe option)
<iframe width=”100%” height=”385” src=”https://www.youtube.com/embed/VA770wpLX-Q” frameborder=”0” allowfullscreen></iframe>
Just paste it in a new post and preview it … like this you will see what i meen. I have chanched the layout of the site many times in the past and all wp themes worked out with this embed. But the best one ever doesnt 
Also i cant put the logo in the logo place and centre it becaus it only allows a centrain widht and hight on desktop and laptop i like it the way it is now big as it is. Your logo placent crops it otherwise to a certain small dimention..
Maby you should make i allow to be as big as a client wants in a future update? Some logo’s just look way better when displaid bigger then the theme allows at this point.
Also if i use the logo space for the logo it just doesnt look good on mobile i dont like it. But i do like it the way it is now on mobile.
A nother problem im facing is the titel showing half on mobile on the first post in the slider. It doesnt adapt to the size of the title and when im forced to use a big title for a post because there is no other way to describe the post it shows half and broken on the mobile theme.
This is actualy the reason why i asked for a option to disable the grid slider only on mobile devices without it disapairing on the desktop version. Im using grid style H.
Also for the adverstisment tag i put in the header. I have no option to put it somewhere else. It needs to be there. It s a tag for a sky scraper ad on top of the site that shows at certain times because it has a frequentie cap on it. There is no other place that i can put a skyscraper tag that displays a ad of about 900/ 1000 px in width.
Also for the last question. Why is it only possible to put the search box in the uper menu. Some people dont want to use the upper menu and just the lower menu.
Best regards,
V
Hey V,
I just did some indepth testing, and it turns out that YouTube has actually changed the CSS of their embeds code (the iFrame version)! Meaning they are already more responsive than they used to be, and that is causing an issue with the theme, I will fix it. However, you can already have it all working 100% perfectly by simply using the naked URL like this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VA770wpLX-QSimply place your YouTube video link into a post like that, and the WordPress will show you a video preview on your post editor area, and then on the real post page, the theme will automatically make it responsive for visitors.
And regarding the logo size, if you set a normal logo and use the center option, there are no limits! On your website you have used the background header background option to set a background image to set your logo, which has to have a height set to be able to show. I get the feeling what you want to do is set a dark background color to the header then upload a normal png logo with transparency so that it looks just like you have it now, but with no limits.
Regarding the long title on grid, you are right! I will improve that, but until then copy/paste the following code into your Theme Options -> Custom Code -> Custom CSS box:
@media only screen and (max-width: 480px) {
.cb-meta-style-4.cb-m .cb-article-meta h2, .cb-meta-style-4 .cb-article-meta h2 { letter-spacing: 0;
font-size:14px; }
.cb-meta-style-4 .cb-article-meta { padding: 7px;}
}
That should fix it!
I will look into adding a new ad option above the entire site (above the header area) in an upcoming update. Thanks for the suggestion!
Cubell
Hi Cubel 
The code you provided totaly worked! Thanks for that! #Awesome!
Thanks for looking into the youtube code and trying to fix that! #Awesome!
But i dont understand what you mean with no limit regarding the logo. If i put a logo on like the size i have now the theme keeps scaling it down to a size that i dont want it to be.
Also can you figure out what happend to the view count on the most populair widget in the sidebar? It used to show the view count but after updating the theme that stopped for some reason.
Also for the option to put the search box of the theme in the menu (not the top menu) how can i fix it because i preferd the search box that you made custom for the theme its very nice!
Best and happy regards,
V
Hey again,
You’re welcome, you know I’m happy to help 
Regarding the logo, if you upload a normal one using the logo option, and set the background of the header to be a color (not the logo image) then it should have no limits, have you tried that?
Regarding the view count, it would be visible if you have the by line option in the Theme Options panel to show them. Have you turned the views off there?
And the search option will definitely be able to be added to the main menu in an upcoming update, stay tuned 
Cubell
Hi Cubell,
The logo thing is not working for me stil trying to figure that out also i wanted to ask a nother question. Wil there in the future be an option to switch the mobile verson off on tablets? I would like it for tablets to just show the desktop version. Do you think that such a thing would be possible? Maby with some custom coding?
Best regards,
V
Also ik wanted to ask if its possible to increase the hight of the menu bar in the mobile version? Is there a code i can use in custum css for this and can you please provide it?
Best regards again! 
V
Hey again,
The logo thing though, you haven’t set the logo as I explained, have you tried it that way? That is the only way it will work as you want it to, as background images (like you have it set) won’‘t be responsive as you want it to be by nature.
Tablets already do show the desktop version though, it’s just refined to fit nicely on tablets and everything is adjusted. A mobile version would work terribly on a tablet by nature too 
You can try to increase the height with this custom css:
cb-top-menu, #cb-top-menu .cb-top-logo { line-height: 40px; height: 40px; }
And increase both values to match.
Hope this helps.
Cubell
Hi Cubell
My bad … you were totaly right .. my mistake i fixed the logo it didnt work because i had a ad tag placed in Header banner selection. ... so it was conflicting some how.
I removed the tag and placed it in the footer now its working just fine.. thank you for youre patiance with this.
Best regards,
V
Hey again,
It’s no problem! I’m just happy I could help and that you got it sorted 
Cubell
Hi Cubell,
Thank you so much for you’re help! The site lookes perfect on mobile, tablet and desktop now!
I have a nother question that could be a little difficult because i tried every thing but i just cant get it to work so maby you can help me with this.
Im tring to block certaint ads showing on post usiing custom fields.
This is the ad code: Full site take-over ad. This tag is placed in the footer. (This is not adsense)
<!And this is how im trying to block the ad from showing in specific posts:
ID, “ads”, true); if ($ads_display == “no”){ ?> <!– no ads –> <?php } else { ?> id=’div-gpt-ad-1434105353140-0 <?php } ?>Is my attempt any good? Because i placed the above blocking code in the footer of the template and it didnt work after puting ‘Ads with value on ‘No’ inside the post custom field were i dont want the ad to show.
To be honest i think i need to put it in the blogstyle.h.php but i don’t know were to put it and i dont know if it wil work. Can you please help me with this?
Would be much appreciated!
Kind regards,
V
Oh … is see its not allowed to put html here .. is there any other way i can get in contact with you for this question please?
Hey V,
You can use the support system to add code blocks much easier, these comments aren’t really made for technical stuff 
However, it sounds like you may need a developer, as that looks like it could potentially get messy if it doesn’t work instantly, and I would recommend looking for one on Envato Studio, as that is run by the same people who run Themeforest.
Cubell
Hi Cubell,
Thanks for the advice!
When is the next update coming and can i please suggest a few improvemenst for this update…
-Clickable background in a post (per post) -Search bar option for the main menu bar (not only top menu) -Individual on and off for trending menu and most populair sidebar view count -A fix for the 100% youtube embed function -Grid sliders are per catagorie, maby a function to activate a post for the slider in post funtions. So you get a on/ of on slider function when you add a new post.
I know its way more easy to just ask then to actualy pull off but man this would be very good for the diversity of this theme!
Please let me know.
Best regards,
V

hi Cubell!
Wanted to decrease the space between the bottom my featured image and the first paragraph of my post/social share buttons see link: http://www.adhdshow.com/2015/08/21/event-recap-wwe-2k16-summerslam-kickoff-event-in-nyc/
as u can see theres a gap between the pic and my share buttons on top. whats the code to modify? Thank You!
Hey again,
You can do that with:
.cb-fis-block-standard .cb-mask { margin: 0 0 30px 0; }
And reducing the 30px value. Should do it!
Cubell
Great theme – best I’ve ever seen! Is there anyway to disable the logo and header area for all posts regardless of the selected featured image style? I only notice that option when certain styles (like “screen-width”) are selected. Here’s a screenshot of what I mean: http://screencast.com/t/PTaIKio1fw Thanks!
Hey BrianDCC,
Thanks again for the kind words 
There isn’t an option for that, but if you want it globally, why not simply set the site up that way? By that I mean, don’t set a normal logo or header ad, and instead only set a logo in the main menu and set it to be visible at all times.
Cubell
Thanks Cubell, I may just do that. My only concern would be establishing the brand in a more obvious way on certain key pages (ie: the home page). However, the trade-off is the fold get pushed down lower. In terms of conversion, perhaps your recommendation is the best!
No worries! I know what you mean, but I have seen quite a few big sties with only a single navigation menu with their logo at the top, so if it works for them, mustn’t be a bad way of doing things!
Cubell
A few days back i let you know about a white screen problem with 2.0.1… which you fixed. In the mean time I had moved over to Valenti as our traffic and revenue had dropped. This morning when I went to re-activate 15zine… as soon as I did my screen when white and my whole site disappeared… any ideas. I have re-downloaded 15zine and added it to my FTP… as when I try to login via wordpress… i see nothing.
The URL structure is there… but all pages are blank! Can’t login to Wordpress to add/edit anything
Hey David,
I saw your Facebook message about this and that you needed to update a plugin + that you’ll do it next week. Let me know how you get on

Hello Dear Cubell
. I think this is the last thing I need to know to have my blog look the way I want to: changing the location of optional caption. Default for PC/laptop version is at the top right corner of the image. Since I have many images where some text decorations are covered by this caption, I would like to place it under the image, the way it looks when displayed on smartphone or tablet. Could you please tell me which CSS lines need to be modified?
Regards, Dorota
Hey Dorota,
Sure thing, try copy/paste the following code into your Theme Options -> Custom Code -> Custom CSS box:
.cb-entry-content .alignnone.cb-fs-embed .wp-caption-text, .cb-entry-content .aligncenter .wp-caption-text { max-width: none; position: static; }
Should do the trick 
Cubell
It did, thank you! Have a nice weekend

That’s great to hear 
Hi there,
I just upgraded our two sites we use your theme to the latest version of WordPress (4.3), and now it only shows the latest post… in other words, the theme is not pulling any other post other than the latest post. Every entry is a duplicate. Is this a known issue?
Hi Panah100,
Hope you’re well! The demo site is using WordPress 4.3 and the latest 15Zine with no problems. And lots of users have upgraded with no problems too.
If every post is outputting as the same post, that is definitely not the theme, and most likely a bug in your database or a plugin! Try disabling all plugins to test.
Cubell
I think I caught it. Its Custom DIR plugin. The funny thing is other themes I have work with it but your themes don’t. I guess there is a conflict after WordPress 4.3. Thanks for the help. I did open tickets in your support forum, so you may want to close them. Thank you so much for the prompt response 
Ah I see! No worries, I’m just happy you found the cause 
hello cubell
i have some probelm about image setting.now ,when i publish image is scale up to full page how i can set it show like visual editor http://www.mx7.com/view2/yy2i3W5S0gG7zLRZ http://www.mx7.com/view2/yy2immZkKugQrRG4 and i want to know how to set featured image size like this blog http://fjsk.in.th/pomodoro-technique-review/Hey Drypoint,
Can you share the URL of that post to take a look?
And the featured image in that site is simply a post with the full-screen featured image style option. Check the documentation to see how to change the featured image style in a post, it’s really easy 
Cubell
and this is size in visual editor http://www.mx7.com/view2/yy41hrsBnMtSswBv
Hey again,
To make them normal widths, try copy/paste the following code into your Theme Options -> Custom Code -> Custom CSS box:
.cb-entry-content .aligncenter { width: auto; }
I hope this helps.
Cubell
thank you very much 
You’re welcome 
hi cubell it’ happened again i paste the code .cb-entry-content .aligncenter { width: auto; } already but can’t adjust image size.how i fix it?
Hey again,
That is strange! Have you tried adding !important to it:
.cb-entry-content .aligncenter { width: auto!important; }
That line will only affect images aligned to the center also by the way.
Cubell
Another question, for the search option, is there an option to make the search just appear in the top menu, as opposed to it opening up to a full window search screen?
Hi again,
Currently the only search modal design is the full screen version, but I already designed a new design for it that I plan to code in the future and add it as an option in the theme options. I will consider a smaller version like you describe as an option too.
Cubell
Hi Cubell, thanks for this awesome theme
I work on the different options of the theme in order to use it soon. And I have some questions…
1/ Is it possible to move the picture caption at the bottom right ?
2/ Is it possible to use parallax effect for an embed fullsrcreen image in an article ?
3/ Like on another previous comment, on my homepage if I use the global takeover, I have a bug with my “scrolling” sidebar (when it arrive near the footer)
4/ In order to follow clicks and impressions of my takeover with my ad server, how can I insert/replace a html script (like for all other ad zones in the theme) in place of the current url address option ?
5/ On mobile, do you have a solution to adapt “responsive” the top of a takeover to show the full width of the background
5/ Is it possible to have “thevideo” icon (from post format option) on the thumbnails of the grids and sliders on homepage ?
thanks
Hi Endurotribe,
Thanks very much for your kind words and for choosing 15Zine 
1- It depends what caption you mean, But you could try copy/paste the following code into your Theme Options -> Custom Code -> Custom CSS box:
.cb-entry-content .alignnone.cb-fs-embed .wp-caption-text, .cb-entry-content .aligncenter .wp-caption-text { top: auto; bottom: 20px; }
2- No, that is not a feature in the theme, you will need to install a plugin or similar for that.
3- I am unable to recreate that, could you please share the URL where I can see this happen?
4- That isn’t possible I’m afraid, as the takeover is coded without Javascript. However, I’m not 100% on this, but maybe this plugin can allow you to do that: https://wordpress.org/plugins/background-manager/
5- On mobile, the takeover is meant to completely be disabled, as there isn’t any space to show an ad as there is no background, and on top of that scaling down a landscape (most screens are 16:9) image to a portrait screen (phones are 9:16) wouldn’t be good even if you could see the background some how.
6- The grids don’t show the post format icons because the titles overlay the images, and if you have a very long title, then the icon would overlap and look weird, so keep it clean, they aren’t shown on grids. To add them you would need to customize the actual files codes.
I hope this helps.
Cubell
Hi Cubell, thanks for your help
I worked on my different problems and I fund some solutions without modify your initial files.
I have also some layout bugs if i use the background takeover option. Here some of them. Sorry for my english…
1/ In “global” takeover mode (1700×1000 image), with or without a top-margin content : the sticky sidebar on homepage finish not correctly at the bottom but below the footer.
2/ With the same takeover config of point n°1, in a post with parallax featured image style, the featured image finish above the beginning of the post content. For info, without takeover option, all is fine. Second question, why the parallax image is boxed with takeover config whereas with a full screen featured image style, it’s not the case and fullcreen with a takeover ?
For both problems, bigger is the top-margin number,bigger the space is.
It seems that the body class “cb-bg-to-on” is at the origin of the different layout bugs. If you “desactivate” the loading of “cb-bg-to-on” in the header as a body class, problems of points 1 and 2 don’t appear. But without loading “cb-bg-to-on” on the header as a body class, the clickable zone (“cb-bg-to”) appear above the content of the homepage…
thanks again for your expert help
Hey again,
It’s no problem, happy to help 
1- Can you share a URL where this is happening? Because I did a test on my local demo site and it all seems to work perfectly for me.
2- I tested that too and you are right, there is a conflict between the background ad and the big featured image styles. The reason is that they both want to use the background area, but of course only one can do it. I think the only good solution is to not run the background takeover on posts with those featured image styles. I will investigate it deeper and see if I can sort it out for the next update. Thanks for reporting!

Hey Cubell,
I was wondering if you are willing to add a responsive grid configuration that would look/work like this mock-up: https://www.dropbox.com/s/8tqtyzigqc4es9w/Screenshot%202015-08-18%2020.15.42.png?dl=0 ?
Hey Roman,
I have toyed around with the idea of a full-screen, responsive grid and I might add one in a future update 
Cubell
Yay! Thanks for adding value to the package with each update. Much appreciated.
You’re welcome, happy you’re happy!
Hi Cubell!
Is there any way to move the categories in the byline to be next to the author name x date (on the right side) as opposed to below it?
Thanks!
Hey again,
I’m afraid not without customizing the code, as the theme was designed to work that way. The category does appear in the by line inside posts though, so you can probably reverse engineer it to work that way everywhere.
Cubell
Thanks man! I appreciate it. I actually worked on the padding as you instructed another user and hat works well. Maybe in 2.1
Thanks!

Nice one! And maybe 
Hi,
I need to update the template. Can I just over ride the old template without losing some custom changes?
Regards. Rowan
Hey Rowan,
It depends what you mean by custom changes? Did you edit actual theme PHP files? Or did you only set your site up by changing the theme options, setting up menus/widgets, etc? Read the update theme section in the documentation, that explains it all in more detail and includes all the steps to do it 
Cubell
I need to update the thema only to slow down and remove the slider. Is there an other way?
Not really, it’s always best practice to use the latest version available though, so I really recommend you update it. And if you have edited actual files, then you shouldn’t be doing that, you should either be adding custom css to your Theme Options -> Custom Code -> Custom CSS box, or to edit files, use the child-theme.
Cubell
Hello Dear Cubell. Could you please check why this “Below image” title is displayed with no margin? http://dorota.in/malibu-z-mlekiem/
Hi Dorota,
You can adjust it with:
.cb-entry-title { margin: 10px 0; }
And then adjust the 10px value to your taste. Hope this helps.
Cubell
Done and working, thanks
