Presale: what membership plugin have you tested or recommend? What themes got the highest pagespeed score? I would like to use them when I purchase. I will also check the demo

Hey Yodelacuesta,

Thanks for checking out Zeen. It hasn’t been officially tested, but the theme’s code follows WordPress best coding standards, which means if you plugin works on the default WordPress theme (TwentyNineteen), it will work the same in Zeen.

On top of that, if you use a popular membership plugin and there is an issue caused by the theme, then you can report it and it will be fixed via a theme update.

Hope this info helps.

Please answer my 2nd question, what is the fastest demo you have? Ill test it first. I would like to use the fastest demo you have

Zeen is very fast, so all the demos are fast, you can get 99 (or even 100) scores with Zeen. However, the thing to understand is that the theme is only a part of what affects the score of a site. Other theme makers may not say it much, but the BIGGEST factor that affects site performance/speed is actually your images and if you optimized them or not and of course using a good hosting server. The theme will create various thumbnails from your images, but you have to optimize them, no theme can do that for you.

You can see real reports from various of the demos that were done some time ago here:

https://179324-535732-2-raikfcquaxqncofqfm.stackpathdns.com/zeen/img/tf/gtmetrix-zeen-reports.pdf

Feel free to run the tests again on your desired test site.

Hope this helps.

When I migrate from 15Zine to Zeen with the tool, will it look basically the same? I really love the way it looks but also want the new features that are in Zine.

Hey Weissmedia,

Thanks for checking out Zeen :) The migration tool will convert all 15Zine video/gallery/audio/review/featured image/post layout/etc data to Zeen. And then you can customize the way your site works, you can definitely make it look similar to 15Zine, as Zeen has lots of flexible controls. You can create an identical header/footer/etc :)

Hope this helps.

Hello there, How do I add icons to the main menu? Thank you!

Hey there,

You simply enable the menu items you want to show via Theme options > Header > Main Menu and then in the Theme options > Social Networks you add your social info and they will appear.

Wanted to send a quick feature request, but my support expired 2 weeks ago apparently! So I’ll just leave my quick request here.

Was wondering if it would be possible to include a new header type similar to many other themes out there, with a large featured image blog post that includes a transparent overlay menu + logo on top.

There are currently 2 similar options (2 with just the logo and 1 with the logo and slide out menu) but it would be great to have one with the menu and the logo, here’s an example of how it looks in other themes https://authentictheme.com/authentic/2016/05/23/when-two-wheels-are-better-than-four/

(I actually switched from Authentic to Zeen so it’s one thing I’ve really missed in my new site)

Thanks for reading!

Hi Ianskate,

That is already possible with certain option combinations, it’s active here:

https://demos.codetipi.com/zeen-esports/

If you click to go on one of the blog posts further below, you’ll see it on the post too.

Hope this helps :)

Hi!

I also opened a ticket yesterday about the background takeover and would kindly like to give you a nudge as I’m under pressure a bit from the advertiser.

Thank you!

Hey Janos,

I had a look and it was answered earlier today. Hope it helps :)

Codetipi

Hey, it did, many thanks!

Happy to hear :)

Hi, I posted a ticket to the Codetipi support page 2 days ago without an answer. Can somebody take a look it, please?

Hey Venchy_123,

I had a look and your new comment is a response to an existing ticket you opened months ago, it was escalated to Chris at some point, and as you know he is extremely busy working on the upcoming Zeen update :) He has replied now, but if you need more help, please try to open a new ticket so the support team can help (they can’t answer tickets assigned to Chris), and you’ll get a much faster response.

Hi, when upgrade the theme and add the Telegram social network? Thanks

Hey Gerardo,

The next update will be out soon, and it Telegram for the Mobile Sticky Bottom bar has been added as an option ;)

Codetipi

Hi, I am loving using this theme! I am wondering how I can add the social sharing buttons that appear on post pages, onto select ‘regular’ pages, is there a short code or similar? Thanks again :-)

Hey Simonehow,

Loving that you’re loving it :)

Currently there is an option in Theme Options > Pages to enable the sharing block on pages, but currently isn’t a way to only enable them on one page – I will look into it and see if an option can be added.

Hello. Really enjoying the theme thus far. I do have some questions though.

1. How do you disable the post count and joined dates on the author page? 2. How can I disable the Let’s Review score for reviews from appearing with the post thumbnail on my hompage (while retaining the scores in the post obviously)

Hey Nate,

Really happy you’re enjoying it :)

1- Add this to your Additional CSS section in the theme options:

.team-member-details { display: none; }

2- Same as above with this code:

.lets-review-api-wrap { display: none; }

Hope this helps :)

Hi, I saw there was an update yesterday but in my admin page I don’t have any notification or possibility to update the theme or is it automatic with zeen engine ?

Hey Zitoun2015,

This is a very minor update that fixes something that happened when a new site installation happened, so it’s not something existing Zeen users need to bother updating too – that’s why you didn’t get a notification. You will definitely get notified once the next update is live :)

Hey! I cant change Block Post Titles font size in Classic Block Font Sizes.

Hey Duch,

You’ll need to share that url to the support team so they can investigate what is going on, please open a ticket at http://codetipi.ticksy.com

Hi. Can I use the DIVI builder with this theme? And can I see anywhere what kind of rating widgets I can choose from in the theme, so is there also circle rating widgets etc or only bars and stars system? Is there a way to make for example a top 50 on one page and rank the service providers that I will have on my website? Thanks in advance

Hey Klodsi,

I see you’ve picked up a copy of Zeen now – thanks and I hope you enjoy using it :)

P.s for anyone else wondering – the theme hasn’t been tested with DIVI, however, it should work fine, as the theme is coded following best WordPress coding practises. This means that if a plugin works on TwentyNineteen theme, then it’ll most likely also work in Zeen.

I really do not like Gutenberg, is it possible to use this theme without it?

I do not see a staff or position element in the demos, do you have something like that in your code?

thanks

Hey Myuption,

Thanks for checking out Zeen :)

Yes, you can definitely use Zeen without Gutenberg by installing the Classic Editor plugin. Zeen is fully compatible with it.

Regarding “staff or position element”, could you please elaborate a bit on what you mean exactly? As I’m not 100% I understand what you’re wanting to see. Thanks again.

Codetipi

Oh, by member, I mean a photo with a caption, maybe add social icons and a description. Something like https://i.postimg.cc/VN8VPvyp/5dd429b7.jpg

Ah you mean like a team page? If so, Zeen comes with various team templates that you can use on your site. Here are some examples from the main demo:

https://demos.codetipi.com/zeen/team-light/ https://demos.codetipi.com/zeen/the-team-single-rows/ https://demos.codetipi.com/zeen/the-team-with-sidebar/

You can choose what authors appear and in the next update you can easily rearrange the order they output too.

Hope this helps.

Hello! codetipi, Please add vk.com in Let’s Social Count. Thank you for your work.

Hey Tutusoul,

Thanks to you for choosing Zeen :)

I’ve added that request to the development to do list, so it might be added in a future update :)

Did you implement Youtube video player and Image Gallery?

Hey Stefen1,

Yes, there is a new gallery block in the Tipi Builder, will be included in next update ;)

You can also already have a single youtube video and youtube video playlist that is completely independent from any post by using the Tipi Builder Video block and Custom code block – here are the instructions for playlist embeds: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/171780

A new dedicated YouTube playlist block will be worked on for another update too.

Hope this helps.

Hello guys. I made a beautiful homepage, i looks perfect on home and on mobile but on tablet is horrible. We need an option to activate or deactivate tablet view, even if it is a small % of the visitors.

Could you please tell me if I could do anything to fix the issue?

Hey Stefen1,

Do you mean you want the option for blocks to not appear on tablet? You can tweak the padding on tablet if they need more spacing by the way, but if you still want to hide certain blocks on tablets, you could easily just do with some custom css like this:

@media only screen and (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 1199px) {
.block-css-123, .block-css-456 { display: none!important; }
}

And change the 123 and 456 values for the blocks you want to hide, you can get the correct number by editing the block and scroll to the bottom and you’ll find the custom css values.

Hope this helps.

Hi, How would you activate the ‘read more’ function on this theme when customize the grids title area option? I’d like the post to have a button on the main page. Any help? Thanks!

Hey WestKC,

Do you literally mean the “Read more” text button that can be added after classic blocks’ posts? If so, because grids have text overlaying on them, the read more option wasn’t added, but perhaps it could be added in a future update. Let me know.

Codetipi

Dear and Respected Sir Is this gorgeous theme is compatible with new version of WordPress.,that is, 5.3 or may we wait for an update for it?

Hey Frbuttpk,

Zeen is coded following best practises, so it works with WordPress 5.3 out of the box, no theme updates needed ;) Feel free to update to 5.3.

Codetipi

Hi!

Do you maybe have a .psd mask for the background takeover ad like you did with the 15zine? I can’t seem to find the file.

Awesome work with this theme by the way, enjoying the update :).

Thank you!

Hey Janospecnik,

Thanks again for choosing Zeen :)

There isn’t a psd mask file as Zeen allows you to change the width of the site completely! However, I think that it would be nice to have some for the default width anyway. This will be looked into for a future update, thanks for the suggestion :)

Codetipi

Feedback:

It would be really nice if we could adjust the Team page options. I’d like to be able to adjust the order in which the users are displayed, as well as display users that do not have any published posts.

Maybe a shortcode could handle this?

Thanks!

Hey again,

That’s already been added, it will be included in the next update ;) It’s a super clean implementation too, all done inside the same option in the theme options panel :)

Codetipi

Great thanks!

No worries :)
