Hi guys! I have a question: Is it possible to have stats about the pop up usage? How many impressions, click or close?

Thanks

Hey Stefen1,

Do you use Google Analytics? If so, you can actually set that up inside your Analytics account settings, try Googling for tutorials, but it’s not difficult :)

Codetipi

Thanks, I will try.

You’re welcome :)

Also, another quick question. How do I add shortcode to the Tipi Builder?

Hey again,

Simply add a Custom code block in the Tipi Builder. You can paste any type of custom code you want in there, including shortcodes :)

Hi, how do I set ‘A-Z’ or ‘Oldest’ as the default sorting method for a specific category?

Hey Mike,

I’m afraid that isn’t possible in WordPress. The default sorting can only be changed with php code, such as adding this to your child theme’s functions.php file:

add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'my_change_sort_order'); 
    function my_change_sort_order($query){
        if(is_archive()):
           $query->set( 'order', 'ASC' );
           $query->set( 'orderby', 'title' );
        endif;    
    }

That will sort by a-z. Hope this helps.

Hello! I’ve disabled Yoast SEO Open Graph generator and switched to theme buid SEO system. It comes in after last update. I want to use Open Graph Meta. It seems that this work great at Twitter and Tublr (I am using auto publishing by Jetpack). Tumbler work even better than when Yoast SEO was handling Open Graph Meta.

Still, Facebook is the problem. It doesnt show images in published posts. Twitter and Tublr is fine.

It looks like that (testing post):

https://prnt.sc/pvc7ki

should like that:

https://prnt.sc/pvc89f

it is even worser, when i try to publish something maually – https://prnt.sc/pvcbep

How can I fix this?

Ah I see, it may well be that Jetpack auto publicize and cache don’t work well together. Personally, I wouldn’t use Jetpack for anything else other than the stats module, so I can’t comment much, but you should contact both the cache and jetpack for help on that one, as the theme isn’t involved there :P

Hey. You wrote some time before that W3 Total Cache is recommended cache plugin so i switched to this. I had no problem with previous plugin (there was problems, but other kind), so i was kinda confused.

Anyway adding this string as Rejected User Agents in plugin prefferences works for me, as for now:

facebookexternalhit FacebookExternalHit/1.1 FacebookExternalHit/1.0

If anyone have problem with this, try to add this in You Page Cache prefferences. Is anyone using WP Rocket and Jetpack auto publicize maybe? I would gladly buy better plugin, but i need to be sure it works, as it should be ;p

Regards!

Thanks for sharing, might really help someone in the future :)

Hi, can i use this theme in all my personal domain and subdomains with a single license?

Hi Wayes_Parash,

Thanks for the interest in Zeen. The license is controlled/set by Themeforest, and a single Themeforest license = 1 site. If you’d like to use it on multiple domains/different sites, then you need a separate license for each one to be legal. You can read the details here: https://themeforest.net/licenses/standard

Hope this helps.

Hello,

I can’t access the dropdown menu design. I need to modify the font size and other aspects of the submenu. Can you please help me? I know there should be a way to access this: https://docs.codetipi.com/zeen/img/menu-system.png – but it appears to be nowhere to be found..!

Thank you so much, Flavia

Hi Flavia,

I’m afraid support can only be provided to verified buyers. Please login via the account that purchased the theme and ask again via that account.

Thank you.

Hey, when I click on name of author of the post, Site goes to main site, not to the author site. I am using Hide My WP Ghost Lite, can it be related? Can You tell something about this plugin, it’s good with Zeen Theme? Can i fix this without editing files?

You’re welcome, happy I could help :)

Strange thing is happening right now. When i am logged in, i see my author site perfectly fine, but when i log out, this link still takes me to the main site. It is happening only on my account as admin. Other authors pages seems to be fine. Cache again?

Must be your cache :P Try refreshing it everywhere and test in incognito.

Hi, I have a couple suggestions for Zeen:

1. The sticky social share buttons disappear on mobile after reading only a couple paragraphs; is there no way to get them to stay on the screen?

2. The Let’s Info Up boxes would be great if they could be float left or right

3. Also if they would be full-width on mobile screens but floating on desktop/tablet – on smaller screens they end up taking up too much horizontal space which makes the first couple paragraphs hard to read.

Thanks!

I can’t recreate that on my local dev site! Please open a ticket and include admin login details so the support team can investigate.

I’ve extended support at least twice on this purchase but it recently expired, so it won’t let me submit a support ticket.

I’ve added it to the development list so it will be looked at and if it can be recreated, I’m sure it’ll get fixed in an update.

Hi, is it possible change the size of image in the Trending menù? for example setting the small thumbnail size. Thanks

Hey Gerardo,

You can change the amount of posts to show there in the Theme options > Megamenus, which does affect the image size, that’s the only thing that impacts the size.

Codetipi

Hey! Is there a way to have 2 secondary menus on both sides of the screen, to recreate the design of FotoMag? Thank you!

Hey Dmteo,

In Zeen there’s only a single side menu option due to the complex layouts, Fotomag is much simpler so can have a permanent one on the sides. Sorry I can’t be more helpful on this occasion!

Suddenly I am having trouble with the content box titles.

I change the font sizes on the builder and they look fine. But after I save and update, they look too large on the homepage and I have no idea why?

https://justsaying.asia/

Thanks for the info, will look into it.

The Let’s Review inherits your theme settings, you will need to target specific parts of it with custom css if you want granular tweaks :)

Would you be able to advise what css I shout use to increase the font size? Not sure which option in Zeen targets let’s review.

Sure thing, the support team can definitely help, but you will need to open a ticket and point out the exact element of the review box you want to tweak.

Absolutely love this theme – probably one of the best ever themes purchased on TF. Question… I am having a hard time setting up a SUBSCRIPTION FOR NEWSLETTER. I see I can add it on the secondary menu next to social media icons, and I see it can pop up as a side bar pop-up however in the theme documentation I see nothing regarding setting this up… ? I would greatly appreciate your response and assistance, thank you.

Hey Marqus79,

Love that you love Zeen :)

To set it up, you simply need to install a plugin for your desired newsletter service, for example, if you use Mailchimp, you’d use this plugin: http://wordpress.org/plugins/mailchimp-for-wp/

Then in the plugin you’d create the subscribe form and hooking it to the service, you’ll then end up having a shortcode. Simply copy that shortcode and paste it in the location you want to show it in the theme, such as in the popup or slide in box, etc.

Hope this helps.

When using “First One Big” Item and selecting multi categories, in view the subcats filter appear in corner of box; but when choosing Classic Items and doing same (selecting multi categories), the subcats filter didn’t appear. How I can active the subcats filter for another items like a “Classic D”?

Hey Masihmahdavi,

Thanks for choosing Zeen, hope you enjoy using it.

If the category you choose for a block is a parent category and it has sub-categories with posts in it, then that subcats filter will appear automatically :)

Hello there, Can I activate the reading mode (day/night) also on mobile version?

Hey there,

Thanks for choosing Zeen, hope you enjoy using it.

Currently that is not an possible, but it will 100% be possible in a theme update down the line :)

Este mes de noviembre se cumple un año desde que usamos Zeen en nuestra web, y no podría estar más contento. Previamente usé Valenti durante 4 años, de este mismo desarrollador, y estábamos igual de felices. A día de hoy solo veo unos pocos matices en los que tiene que evolucionar, pero solo mencionaré el que me parece más crítico, pues me está causando verdaderos problemas: las páginas AMP y sus funcionalidades. Zeen se ve magnífico, precioso, en la versión móvil de mi web, me encanta. Pero cuando cambias a la versión AMP… es literamente, horrible, y esa es la que sirve, por ejemplo, Twitter por defecto, o a donde llegan nuestros lectores desde Google.

Aquí un ejemplo: https://www.nextn.es/2019/11/fire-emblem-three-houses-ventas-comparativa/ Y su versión AMP: https://www.nextn.es/2019/11/fire-emblem-three-houses-ventas-comparativa/amp/

Por ejemplo, el texto bajo las imágenes, no puede leerse, porque carga la versión “más grande” de la imagen, en lugar de una específica para poder verse de forma correcta en móviles.

Además, en la parte superior de la versión AMP, se ve una banda gris que no puedo cambiar en las opciones de ZEEN (donde la tengo configurada de color rojo, pero no respeta ese valor). Sumado a eso, las imágenes no se ven centradas, y es un caos. Es decir, de ofrecer una versión preciosa con ZEEN, al cambiar a AMP… todo se destroza. Y es cosa del plugin oficial de WordPress, pues con otro plugin todo eso se ve bien, pero genera errores de cara a Google.

Además de eso, AMP permite mostrar comentarios en sus páginas desde hace tiempo, y es una característica que estoy deseando ver en la versión AMP de ZEEN.

Desde hace un tiempo, el plugin oficial de AMP permite mejoras, pero creo que no son compatibles todavía con ZEEN. Ahora están los modos Lector (o modo clásico), Estándar y Transicional, que parece que son más adecuados para lo que cualquiera podría querer ofrecer con AMP, pero no son compatibles con ZEEN; al activarlos, el diseño de la web (incluso fuera de las páginas AMP), se rompe.

Lo ideal sería desactivar AMP, y mostrar la cara más bonita de nuestra web… y si no fuese tecnología de Google, lo habría desactivado al primer día de uso. Nuestro sector en concreto, se mueve mucho por AMP, así que creemos que sí nos afectaría desactivarlo.

Eres dueño de Let’s Review también? Si es así, tienes soporte válido para el plugin? si es así, abre un ticket para el problema de Aqua, porque el plugin ya no usa Frontend como antes, por eso modificarlo como antes no te funcionaría.

Sí, bueno, está integrado en ZEEN, ¿no? Es decir, que no es que haya comprado licencia del plugin aparte, sino que viene integrado para todos que compraron la licencia de ZEEN. Por lo tanto, si intento abrir ticket, ocurre lo mismo.

De verdad que me gustaría echaros una mano para resolver el problema de AMP y de Let’s Review, que creo que también podría ser interesante porque le estará ocurriendo a otros usuarios de ZEEN, pues me ocurre lo mismo también en la web de prueba, de la que puedo compartir con vosotros los datos de acceso. Dado que puede ser bueno para todos los usuarios del producto, ¿no hay otra forma de solucionar el problema sin soporte activo?

La verdad es no, pero si mandas un email por el perfil de Codetipi aquí y incluyes la información de admin – cuando tenga un poco de tiempo le echo un vistazo.

Hi, I’d like to know if it is possible to use tipi builder to customize product category pages with woocommerce or if I have to create a specific page for every category and then set up a redirect. Thank you in advance !

Hey Syonos,

Thanks for choosing Zeen – Hope you enjoy using it.

No, you don’t need to create pages or redirects! You can simply edit the WooCommerce Category and use the Tipi Builder straight from in there! I just tested it an saw that WooCommerce changed something and that’s why it wasn’t working, but it has been fixed now. In the next theme update it’ll continue working as it used to :)

Hi; with the latest version of Zeen, there is a bug between the percentage score of Let’s Review and the display in Let’s info. The % is missing in Let’s info.

Hey Zast,

Could you please share a URL where this can be seen to check out the HTML outputted? It’s probably a really easy tweak and will be included in next theme update.

Codetipi

Hi, I’ll contact you by your support :)

Sounds good :)

Is it possible that social sharing networks float to the left of the article?

Ah yes in that case you can simply turn off the Related post block, and then in the “End of post ad” option, insert the Related Adsense code and it will literally look like that ;)

Bought, thank you very much

Hope you enjoy :)

Hello, i have had to stop work :( on my project powered by Zeen as the categories that i have added are not showing in the Tipi builder, theme seems bugged for some reason.

I have opened a ticket yesterday Thursday early UK time but had no answer so far, it’s now Friday near the weekend & i really cant wait until next week for an answer as i need to work over the weekend.

I notice support questions are being answered here so hence my reason to post in the comments.

I would like to stay positive about this theme but finding it hard to maintain a smile when i have to stop work building my site, can someone assist me?  TICKET #2200977

Hi Pokiesoz,

I had a look and all 3 of your open tickets have received responses today that explain how to solve the issues you were having (they weren’t bugs in the theme), please remember that the support team work super hard, but when it’s very busy it means responses can some times take 24 hours (mon-fri). However, you will 10000% get a response every time, so please be patient as help will always come.

Hope this helps.

Codetipi

ok thanks very much for the help, moving forward on my project :)

Really happy to hear that :)

Is there no way to turn off the secondary menu without choosing one of the header styles that doesn’t have it? I like layout #1 but don’t want the secondary menu.

Edit: Oh I see you have to turn off each option in the secondary menu to make it go away. Hopefully this helps other users.

Hey Gearheadmedia,

Happy you figured it out! But yes, most parts of the theme will only output if there are elements inside it active, so to not show a certain menu/whatever, you simply turn off anything that is currently appearing in it. This system makes everything super flexible overall :)
