Hi,
Can I use square images with this theme? eg: 1:1 images size.
Thank you
Hey Solun,
Thanks for checking out Zeen 
Yes, some layouts use 1:1 square sizes, and some blocks in the Tipi Builder have the option to set the featured images of the posts to be either landscape/portrait/square 
Hope this helps.
Codetipi
That’s perfect @codetipi, I’ll check your theme in super traffic site and let you know.
Best Regards
Sounds great, enjoy Zeen 
Hi, a quite interesting theme. I loved how easier is to deal with content blocks. Some questions about it before going forward: 1- Is there a login/register/profile feature? 2- From the demo movie, I coudn’t understand how the theme deals with CPTs. Is it possible to easily set different layouts to different Custom Post Types, without using php files (I’m not a developer)? 3- Now, I’m using Pods to cretae CPTs and CFs because WBakery Page Builder can’t input Custom Fields based on taxonomy and I need a few specific layouts for the CPTs which almost custom fields are taxonomies. Is it be possible to integrate Pods shortcodes to built a CPT layout? 4- Is there an option for sticky headers? 5- I visited the demos page but I couldn’t find any layout templates for pages, only for posts. Is there any information on it? Thanks. Rogerio
Hey Rogerio,
Thanks for checking out Zeen 
1- The theme has built-in integration for the Login With Ajax plugin and makes it look/work nicely. On the first demo, click on the user icon on the main menu (on the right side) and you’ll see the login/register/lost password functionality in action.
2- If you have Custom Post Types and/or Custom Taxonomies installed, they will appear automatically in the Tipi Builder blocks filter option. So you can easily show them in your homepage blocks too. In the site of the video there weren’t any installed that’s why none appear.
3- Hm, I’m not 100% sure I understand your set up here. Does it all work in TwentySeventeen theme (Default WordPress theme)?
4- Yeah, there are different types of sticky types too. Depending on the header design you select what is sticky. But you can have the standard sticky main menu as seen here:
https://demos.codetipi.com/zeen/You can also have a sticky header that appears only when you scroll up:
https://demos.codetipi.com/zeen-games-minimal/Or you can have a sticky menu that appears only after you scroll down a bit, as seen here:
https://demos.codetipi.com/zeen-science/5- Pages can also use the different featured image designs, content layout options and unique header designs that you see in posts.
For example, here is a full-screen featured image set to a contact page:
https://demos.codetipi.com/zeen/contact/And this is a post using a minimal header option, and a page can also use it:
https://demos.codetipi.com/zeen/design/spaces/nepal-trek/Hope this helps.
Codetipi
Thanks.
to simplify my 3rd question: - WPBakery doesn’t display custom fields using taxonomies, only text; - Therefore, as I’m building a library, I’m using Pods plugin and create a Pods template to show the custom fields content (for example: a book with authors, publisher, cover….); - However, Pods hasn’t a design system built-in, so the templates must be input using html which is quite a graphic limitation and time consuming; - So, is possible to insert shortcods on your content blocks, such as Pods shortcodes or rvslider? Thanks. Rogerio
You’re welcome!
Oh okay I think I understand it better now.
But are you referring specifically to a page showing the custom taxonomy archive (similar to a category page), or are you referring to the content inside each custom post type (similar to regular posts)?
If you mean custom taxonomy archive, then yes you can use the Tipi Builder to build the layout for that taxonomy archive and you could insert shortcodes using the Tipi Builder custom code block.
If you mean custom post types (actual posts), then I imagine you paste the shortcodes into the post content area, if so, then that will work too, just like it should work in TwentySeventeen theme.
Hope this helps!
Codetipi
Yes, it’s more clear now. Allow me a final question. Is there a child theme? Many thanks.
You’re welcome 
Yes there is an option to install a child theme very easily too, you can watch this video to see how it’s done : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-cHgQONgAo
While I was questioning about the theme features the price raised and I missed the opportunity to get the theme at a lower price.
I think we answered at the same time! Check my answer before yours for the answer to the child theme question 
Regarding the price, the theme’s intro price was only for the first 200 sales, and that was reached a few hours ago! So it is indeed now the standard price. But in my opinion even $64 is an amazing deal for Zeen. The amount of value, quality and possibilities you are getting with Zeen is quite unique. Plus with the monetization possibilities in the theme, you should be able to get the investment back in no time 
Bought it. Thanks.
Thanks for choosing Zeen, hope you enjoy using it!
re: zeen 1.0.7
i believe i’ve come across something that should be updated …
the video format last two media designs (left to right) both are mute instead of vocal …
Hey Leemarr,
Ah I’m afraid those are indeed muted because YouTube doesn’t allow videos to autoplay on site-load with sound. On top of that, most browsers block autoplaying videos to have sound now too. There is no workaround for this, as it’s how they want it to work.
Codetipi
Hello Codetipi!
First of all, I would like to say that the wait was worth it. Zeen is an outstanding theme. It feels carefully coded giving to the user a big flexibility to build designs with a lot of variability among them. I’ve been testing it for several days and I can say that is one of the fastest themes I’ve tried, besides it has a lot of great ideas (include tipi builder on categories and tags is amazing…) pushing the quality of this market one step forward. My respect about this excellent work.
And related my question, I would like to ask you about a couple issues that I have not found a solution. Maybe with some minor updates…
Here are my 2 doubts:
Test scenario: I simply created a page, I enter the front-end of the tipi builder (edit with …) and create a block “grid classic mix”, followed by a “default posts” block (list with pagination by numbers) and followed by a “grid D” block. As it looks something simple, in this case for test these issues.
1.- PAGINATION BY NUMBERS – At the moment I always use the module “default posts” instead of “classic” (block list) because that first allows me pagination by numbers. For some reason, there is not this type of pagination on the other blocks. Well, when you click on the page number 2 the upper block and the lower block are dissapeared. Only I can see the “default posts” block (same on the page 3, 4…)
2.- LOAD MORE BUTTON – Same test scenario like before but adding load more button instead of number pagination. Keep in mind that the list post need to has the “heart” like button activated. When you have loaded more than one page (with the load more button), the heart like button stops working. Curiously, works on the first posts of the list but not on the last posts loaded (url/page 2 3, 4…).
And that’s all, thanks in advance for your support on this and keep up the amazing work!!
PS: 3 licenses purchased by the moment 
Ricard
Hey Ricard,
That is amazing to read, thank you so much for taking the time to write it all and for choosing Zeen for so many projects 
1- Yes I’m afraid that it isn’t possible to have numbered on other blocks. The reason only the Default posts option has numbered pagination is because of the way WordPress works. That block is what WordPress creates by default (list of available posts) on a given location (such as a homepage or category page). WordPress controls the paginated system and it creates a single global one in each location, so it isn’t possible to give other blocks that numbered pagination option.
2- Ah great find! That was a bug, and it’s been fixed now. Patch will be included in v1.0.8 which will be out later today. Thanks for reporting 
Thanks again, I’d love to check out your sites when you finish them too, so make sure to send the urls!
Chris
Hi Chris!
First, thank you very much for answering so quickly and for taking care of the bug so amazingly fast.
On the other hand, regarding the first question, thanks for the detailed info, now I clearly see how the “default posts” work and I’ll keep using them on posts pagination.
However, sorry if I insist, but I’m not sure why the upper and lower blocks disappear when I click on the page number 2 and the following. Is there any way to keep these blocks visible on all pages?
Thanks in advance!
You’re welcome, happy to help 
About the blocks not appearing on paginated pages, the reason is because of user experience, if the theme loaded all the blocks and you have a fairly big homepage with the paginated one at the end, you would be see the same page as the first page and the user would have to scroll to find the block that is now loading Page 2, and that would cause confusion and feel broken – most users would probably leave the site if they don’t find what they clicked for instantly. If a user clicks for page 2, that’s all they should see on the next load really 
Hope this makes sense!
Chris
I see, thank you very much for the info Chris.
Not now but, just in case you decide to add some new features on the future, this option would be my Xmas wish 
Thanks again and keep up this awesome work!
You’re welcome 
Are you saying you want the blocks to still load on paginated pages? If so, it may be possible to add an option to allow for that in the future.
Chris
Wow, thanks for considering it Chris!
Yes, that’s exactly what I was talking about: the possibility of keeping the blocks of the Home page (even if they are only a couple of small blocks like a banner or a small grid, etc…) on the second and following pages.
Thanks again for your always positive attitude 
It’s no problem! Zeen will continue evolving in part thanks to customer suggestions/requests, so all suggestions will always be considered 
If I want to use this theme on more than one website, do I have to purchase imultiple copies?
Hey Animaplates,
Thanks for checking out Zeen 
Yes, Themeforest controls/sets the license terms, and each license license is strictly for one site. The theme is currently on sale (for 17 more sales) so if you need more than one license, make sure to get them before it reaches 200 sales!
Thanks again,
Codetipi
hello , I am a freelance developer looking for work
Hey Pasargad-Template,
I think you may be in the wrong place
Please go to the forums, I think that is a better place to say that.
Best of luck!

Stylish, fashionable & modern level! Cool!
Thanks Audiosport, appreciate it 
Hi! I have a question about widget system. Is there a way to exclude the current post from such widgets as recent posts or others? I’ve used 15Zine before,but there was no such option there.
Hey Bezdredoff,
Thanks again for choosing Zeen 
Are you referring to the Zeen Stylish widget? If so, that is a great suggestion, and it will be looked at for an upcoming update.
Codetipi
LOVING this theme so far… wondering if there is any way we can add “portfolio” functionality to it?
Hey Bulletorthechapstick (Great name!),
Loving that you’re loving it 
What kind of portfolio functionality are you thinking of exactly? Depending on your needs, could you not create gallery posts using one of the gallery designs to showcase imagery? Such as https://demos.codetipi.com/zeen/artistic/london-guide/ ?
Codetipi
any idea when the gallery will be changed …
will it be ready for next version (1.0.7) ...
Hey Leemarr,
That unfortunately isn’t a small change, it could potentially be site-breaking, so need to investigate deeper and it will take a bit of time, as now the focus is on ironing out all bugs reported. If it hasn’t been added within 2-3 weeks, please ask again as I’ll have more info then.
Codetipi
Hello, this theme seems to be really awesome!! But before I am going to buy this I have some little pre-sale questions.
1) Is it possible to show a variable number of random posts on the startpage and is it also possible to do this for each choosen categorie too?
2) And if it is possible to do so, is perhaps possible to show one predefined sticky-post in the choosen categorie?
3) Is this theme PHP 7.2 ready?
Many thanks in advance
Hey Kuhnes,
Thanks fo checking out Zeen 
1- If you build a page/category page/tag page/etc with the Tipi Builder, then you can set blocks to be ordered by “random” as an option. And in ones with the standard archive (list of posts of that current category/tag/etc), for example this one:
https://demos.codetipi.com/zeen/category/style/You will see a dropdown to order the posts by Latest/Oldest. In the v1.0.7 update due out later today, a Random option has also been added.
2- If you use the Tipi Builder, you could add one block to feature X post, and then another block to show random posts.
3- Yes, the theme is fully PHP 7.2 compatible.
Hope this helps 
Codetipi
Many thanks for your quick response.
Yes indeed, this helped me very much.
I think I will change my old theme into ZEEN in the next days. 
Regards
You’re welcome, and sounds great! Make sure to send your finished site’s url to check it out, as I’m excited to see how you guys use the theme 
I´ll do my very, very best. 
Sounds good 
Hi Codetipi,
For the subscription box, can I use mailster for it? Thank you!
Hey Jackjack,
Thanks for checking out Zeen 
Yeah, you can use any mailing service you want. You simply enter the shortcode provided by your desired subscription service’s plugin and it’ll output in the subscription locations 
Hope this helps.

Hi Chris!
I just rated Zeen 5 stars, and the only reason for that is… because I can’t rate it 6, 7 or even 10 stars lol Zeen is AMAZING! I was mind-blown by the videos before purchasing it, but this is the first time I buy a theme and discover that there’s even more possibilities than I believed it had, actually. Congratulations and thank you so much for creating this!
(If you are thinking about buying Zeen and came to check the comments: it is 100% worth the money).
I have some questions:
1. My progress bar looks “thinner” than it does on your demos, like you can see here: https://ibb.co/jWmbD0
I looked everywhere and could not find where to make it thicker. Can you help me out? I want it to look exactly like the demos. Also, a suggestion: it would be great if it’s color was the post category color! 
2. I already used force regenerate thumbnails and emptied my cache with Autoptmize and W3, but some pictures look weird on both mobile and desktop, as you can see here: https://ibb.co/myx56L and here: https://ibb.co/jh9wD0 . What do you suggest to solve this problem?
3. The only place google ads display correctly is on my sidebar. it looks like this everywhere else: https://ibb.co/hFxSLf I’m using Tipi Builder, the Ads block.
4. How can I change the “load more” button color?
5. I’m using Grid Mix D. If I put it edge to edge, it cut’s off the byline, but I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong or if it’s a glitch. Also, I decided to use some gradient overlay on it. But it only shows when I’m in Tipi Builder mode. If I publish, nothing has changed once I refresh the page. If I go back to Tipi Builder, it’s there like I wanted.
6. Stylish Articles Widget: is there a way to put the title inside the image like you have here? I believe it’s a different widget but asking doesn’t hurt lol https://ibb.co/bRUhLf Also, can I have dates shown for one specific category, which is my “news” category, but hidden for the rest? And last question: can I make thumbnails have the same size? Because mine look like this: https://ibb.co/eGxit0
7. How can I change the “purchase” icon that appears on sticky menu bar on a review post? I review restaurants, so my “purchase” links are actually a “book now” link. I tried to put a font awesome icon on Let’s Review options but it’s not appearing on the affiliate button.
8. I could not find the strings to translate the “share/tweet” buttons. I translated every share word on Poedit but could not find the word “tweet” and the “share” word I found definitely was not for those buttons. Is there a way to do it?
Once again, thank you so so sooooo much for the best theme ever!
Hey Fparonetto,
Wow, thank you so much for the amazing words, really happy to hear you’re enjoying it 
1- The progress bar is the same thickness as the main menu’s bottom bar thickness, do you have it set to 0 by any chance?
2- Oh that looks weird indeed, they are such small thumbnails that you should 100% have a thumbnail that fits nicely there, could you open a ticket at http://codetipi.ticksy.com and include the url where that is visible to check it out?
3- Ah that is because due to changes in Theme requirements and for security, to store a Javascript ad (such as that), you need to use this free plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/shortcoder/ to create a shortcode version of the ad. Then simply paste the shortcode in the relevant places it will work as expected. The other bonus of this method is that if you ever want to change that ad, you simply change it in the shortcode options and it will automatically update in every location where you used that shortcode.
4- A new option to change that easily has been added in v1.0.7 update. In Theme Options > Global Options > Global Colors: Load More Background color option 
5- Could you please include more info about this in the ticket to investigate (include url where it’s visible).
6- That one you see in the demo is actually not a widget, it’s a Tipi Builder Block (Slider)
To hide dates you need some clever CSS as that’s so specific:
.byline { display: none; }
.category-news .byline { display: inline-block; }
and replace the “news” bit with the slugname of your category,
And those thumbnails are not right, I think something went wrong with your regeneration because that is not normal.
7- Please can you include the link in the ticket too.
8- Those are actually from the .po files in Zeen Engine plugin, are you translating to Portuguese? If something is incomplete, could you please then send the updates ones over to include them in the theme? This way you don’t have to upload them after every update.
Thanks again!
Codetipi
I just opened my ticket there, thank you!
1- Yep that’s what I did. All good now! 
2- Sent it on the ticket
3- Like a charm! Thank you! 
4- Ok! Waiting for v1.0.7 update, then!
5- Sent it on the ticket
6- Oh I thought it was a sidebar with widgets. It all makes sense now lol I’m gonna try it later. Thank you!
7- Sent it on the ticket
8- Oh I did not realize it was the plugin, I was just trying to translate the theme. Gonna translate the engine and I’ll send the translated version to you later so you can include on your files and maybe help more costumers too.
Thank you!
You’re welcome
See you there!
Quick question: I have some pages I built with page builder. Now I want to add page headers to them, like the one you have here: https://demos.codetipi.com/zeen/contact/ I put the image I want but for some reason they are not displaying. Do they only work on regular (non-pagebuilder) pages? How can I have an image header with page title if they are build with page builder?
Ah yes those headers are for non-builder pages, as they are completely different in how they work. Can’t you simply use the Image Tipi Block? Or the Call To Action block (to put a title on) instead?
can I customize the Call to Action block height with a custom code? I wanted something smaller like the one you have in “contact” page, but the block takes the whole screen lol
Ah that contact page is simply a featured image style set to 66% screen height, have you tried that?
i’ve not imported a demo yet …
what happens if i do …
will the previous posts be deleted …
Hey Leemarr,
No, the import will not delete anything
However, if you want to only experiment, I’d recommend you install the “Local by flywheel” app on your computer to quickly install a local WordPress that you can quickly use to test things. You can import demos, reset the site in a few seconds (using WP reset plugin), test things, break things, etc, with no worries
If you do still do it on your real site, make sure to do a backup first just in case!
Hope this helps.

Google says my AMP page is invalid:
This is the page I tested: https://techranker.tv/google-home-pros-and-cons/amp/ Here’s the AMP tester: https://search.google.com/test/ampHey TechRanker,
Thanks for choosing Zeen, hope you’re enjoying it 
Could you please open a ticket about this here: http://codetipi.ticksy.com and whatever issue it is, it will be patched up in the next update (1.0.7) which will be out either tomorrow or Tuesday.
Codetipi
I’m going to try another AMP plugin and will report back…
Sure thing, but please mention the plugin you used in the ticket. Try using the one made by Automattic (they made WordPress, so kind of considered the “official” one). 
Google now says my page is valid. Plus I can now insert Google Adsense Auto Amp Ads.
Ah perfect, happy to hear that 
I know a few others have asked about it already – is there a solution for using infinite scroll along with WPBakery Page Composer, since Zeen currently shows the shortcode when infinite load is on.
I also noticed an issue with Tipi Builder when W3TC is activated – I wasn’t able to edit a call to action with W3TC running on the site. As soon as I deactivated it, it works fine.
One last thing – how can I transfer reviews from 15zine to zeen?
Hey Zantopper,
Thanks for choosing Zeen 
The infinite scroll with Visual Composer should be working in v1.0.6, have you updated to that version?
Also, when you say could you please open a ticket about the W3 issue, because I tested it and can’t recreate that: http://codetipi.ticksy.com if you could share the exact steps to follow to see the issue, that would be great.
To transfer reviews over – go to Let’s Review -> Migration, and select 15Zine reviews, and one click later they’ll all be migrated 
Codetipi
Thanks so much, my site is looking better every day – I got all the reviews migrated & will open a ticket about the W3TC issue. About the infinite scroll issue, I have updated to 1.0.6, but still have the visual composer shortcode showing.
You’re welcome, really happy to hear that
And please mention the VC issue in the ticket too to take a look at it.
Do you have and plans to make or are you aware of any team dashboard plugins or pages? A place were contributors or team member could easily get a glance of the site, whats trending, their recent posts, edit profile links, their post count, For example, my site is just a blog, so my team members would only really need add a post / edit a post / edit profile, etc. But Im sure would love a hub or dashboard like you offer for bbpress / buddy press. And I would only want my team member to see the account/login feature. no guests should see this hub / dashboard. Also display things like recent comments, trending posts per day, week, month. Team member section. Latest posts per author. authors that post most recent or frequently. Basically something like buddypress but private and forum team bloggers.
Hey Neptin,
Thanks for checking out Zeen 
Hm, that isn’t really something a theme can do I’m afraid, that is WordPress core or possibly plugin-territory. I think what you’re looking for is this free plugin:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/adminimize/That would work with Zeen and should help you get closer to your needs 
Hope this helps.
Codetipi
Hi Codetipi,
Fantastic theme and high quality
*
1. Which facebook comment plugin do you recommend and how to integrate it instead of the wordpress comments, do we have to integrate the php code with the file comment.php?
2. And also which AMP plugin do you recommend for the theme?
3. I activated the option “number of views” and nothing appears! I installed Jetpack. should I activate something else?
Thanks!
Hey Youyou78,
Hope you’re well and thanks for getting Zeen 
1- You should be able to use any Facebook Comments plugin really, and you should not need to edit any files! Try installing the official Facebook plugin first and see how that works out for you.
2- You should use the “official” one, maintained by the people who are behind WordPress: https://wordpress.org/plugins/amp/
3- No that should be enough! Did you activate the Views option in the theme options for the relevant element? If so, open a ticket at http://codetipi.ticksy.com with all the details and we can take it from there 
Codetipi
Hey Codetipi,
1- I tried several plugins and I still have wordpress comments. Facebook comments appear below the article text, and above the share buttons.
2- Ok thanks
3- Yes I activated this but nothing appears. I will open a ticket.
Thanks 
Hey again,
1- Ah I see, please also include a link to your post and the plugin you used to check it out.

Hey 
I am in Local Plugins tested:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/comments-from-facebook/ and https://fr.wordpress.org/plugins/gs-facebook-comments/Ah okay, in that case, do they seem to work okay though? If the WordPress comments aren’t being removed, that is because the plugin isn’t doing it, but they should probably have a setting, do none of them have a setting to do that?
No facebook comment plugin does that, but I know how to do it differently. The problem is that Facebook comments are misplaced.
Oh I see! Can you please open a ticket at http://codetipi.ticksy.com and include the url where it’s on (and misplaced) + url of installed plugin to investigate deeper?
Ok it’s done
thanks
Thanks, will get back to you soon.
Hi codetipi,
Very impressed with and interested in the theme! My only concern is that the media-driven post types (Gallery, Video, Audio) are not fully compatible with AMP, since the photo galleries and media players disappear in the AMP version. Is this going to be addressed in upcoming updates?
Thanks!
Hey Colecoboy84,
Thanks for the interest in Zeen 
Currently, media embedded in posts will appear as expected. For the data from gallery/video/audio post, that is something that will indeed be added in a future update. The official AMP plugin is changing a huge amount for its v1.0 release, so I’m going to be following it closely to see how to best implement it with that.
Thanks again,
Codetipi
Hi Codetipi Team, Congrats on the new Zeen theme. It looks amazing. Love it! I have few questions:.
1. I am currently using 15zine theme and it’s a business news site (installed many third parties pluggins + having many contributors on the site). Thousands of articles already published on my current theme. If I import the 15zine to zeen theme, will I lose any info? Do I need to install the pluggins again?
2. Social media icon – does the zeen theme support LinkedIn icon?
3. Sign up/Log in – With the new theme, you allow users to register/ log in with facebook/google/twitter accounts. With my current theme, I have about 300 contributors on the site. Do they need to create a new account? Do you support the front end publishing form? I don’t want users to access to my backend WP dashboard.
Thank you for your help.
Hey Nela007,
Thank you so much 
1- What kind of info have you got? Almost anything that is made with 15Zine can be transferred over. Some things are already possible, for example if you have made reviews with 15Zine’s review system, you can convert them over with one click.
2- Yes, it’s available in every location you see social icons 
3- The login/register is still done the same way via the Login with ajax plugin, the theme just makes it work smoother/better than ever and the social logins are also an optional plugin. So the current users will continue working the same way (And so will new ones). There is no frontend publishing, as that isn’t really something a theme should do, it’s something a dedicated plugin should/needs to do.
Does your hosting have a Staging site feature? If so I’d recommend doing it like that. So you would do everything calmly on the staging site, and when all is ready, you publish it to the normal site 
Hope this helps.
Codetipi
Hi Codetipi. Many thanks for your help. I have few questions:
1. How can I turn off/remove the date the author/contributor joined the site? (in the author page).
2. How can I turn off/remove the “leave a reply” in the post section?
3. I’d like to create a page, where all of the articles/posts will appear in that specific page.How can I do that? Do I have to create a new specific category for it? There are over 2000 articles on the site atm., I dont want to do it manually.
Thank you so much for your help.
You’re welcome 
1- There will be an option to remove this in a future update, but until then add this custom css to your additional css tab in the theme options:
.author-joined {display: none;}
2- You need to disable the comments in your post or if you don’t want comments at all, disable it globally. These are WordPress settings though. Here is a great guide on how to turn them off: https://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/wordpress-comments-off/
3- No, you could simply create a new page, publish it. Then go to Settings > Reading and set that page to your “Posts page” now that will automatically show your entire site’s content there. You can adjust the way it looks in Theme Options > Blog Page.
Hope this helps.
