Hi guys, I do have the same issue regarding the fact that it shows the “share it” buttons below the title even if you choose not to show any share icons below the title and show it at the end of the articles.

Hey Zitoun2015,

Happy New Year :)

Whenever you update Zeen, remember you should also update all plugins too.

Go to Appearance > Install plugins to update Zeen Engine.

That will do it. Hope this helps!

Codetipi

Thx a lot and I wish you a happy new year. Best

You’re welcome :)

Hi, in 3.2.0 is a minor error which shows the share it below the title even if you choose not to show any share icons.

Hey Rim_light,

Could you please share a URL showing this? The theme demo sites were updated to 3.2 too, and I couldn’t see that in any of the demo sites.

Codetipi

sorry no, because I already commented it out. My site is live and I don’t want to bother my visitors with such errors.

Hey again,

It sounds like you forgot to update Zeen Engine plugin. Whenever you update Zeen, remember you should also update all plugins too.

Go to Appearance > Install plugins to update Zeen Engine.

That will do it. Hope this helps! :)

Good Morning and new year! In the next update, is it possible add “WhatsApp” into the social account links?

It most important because who use “WhatsApp Business” can use a specific url to comunicate with the clients or who need support. For example this is my whatsapp business url: https://wa.me/393346639548

Thanks

Hey Gerardo,

Happy New Year :)

Sure thing, I added it to the development list. Thanks for the suggestion.

Codetipi

I see more little updates, but none of these have the WhatsApp social account url…

The development list is always big and there are different priorities for each update. As I mentioned before your suggestion has been added to the list, so it will be added eventually in an update.

Hello guys!

I know you are planning a big update for the 15Zine theme but still not released. The theme is great but needs an update in order to work fine with the latest wordpress and woocommerce versions. Should I wait a little bit for that big update? or can we easily switch the theme from 15Zine to Zeen without any major issue? Thanks!

Hey SomaEstudio,

Happy New Year and thanks for checking out Zeen :)

The migration from 15Zine -> Zeen is quite easy really. Lots of users have made the transition already!

Zeen has a migration tool to convert 15Zine data over to Zeen (reviews/audio/gallery/video/logos/etc), you’d then need to go through the theme options to ensure it’s all set up as you want, as Zeen has many other options you may be interested in.

You’d also need to re-build your homepage, but with the Tipi Builder, that can literally be done in under 5 minutes if you know what you want it to look like :)

Hope this info helps!

Hi, ads not showing anymore on top area (near menu, and logo) https://www.burnbook.com.br/ Already did the code for ads, but not showing anything there.

Hey Guicepeda,

If the ads were working fine before, then it means something must have changed for it to stop working. The theme definitely hasn’t changed any code for the ad locations so try checking your plugins and ad code (make sure it’s still valid).

Hope this helps.

Codetipi

It’s valid, all other ads are working fine. I’ve changed the main template from regular to play (games), and the top ad it’s not working anymore, even with change the code.

Ah I see, can you double check the ad code is in the correct place though? Go to Theme Options > Header > Header base & logo, and see if the ad code is definitely valid.

The version 3.1.1 update has completely screwed up my website. The landing is messed up. I get Warning: Illegal string offset ‘width’ in /home/bosto113/public_html/wp-content/themes/zeen/inc/core/theme-helpers.php on line 1098

Warning: Illegal string offset ‘height’ in /home/bosto113/public_html/wp-content/themes/zeen/inc/core/theme-helpers.php on line 1098 width=”0” height=”0”>

Never mind saving Permalinks again fix the issue. Update of Zeen somehow messed up permalinks.

Hey there,

Happy it’s all good now, but this error wasn’t due to permalinks, it was definitely due to your site’s cache. When you updated your permalinks, the cache would have been refreshed too.

Whenever you update a theme, you need to refresh your cache, as otherwise your existing cache will cause issues as certain code may have changed since it was created.

Hope this helps.

​Hi

I wanted to know if you can assist. I am finding that I could previously upload a logo with a size of 1000px wide and it would be resized automatically without loss of image or pixelation. I can now only upload a size of 180×45px and looks pixelated. Is this something that has changed in the template and recent updates? Sorry I cannot upload a screenshot here to show you. Please advise

Hey Justgetit,

Happy new year :)

Nothing has changed in the theme that would cause something like that to the logos! Try refreshing your cache, and if that doesn’t help, please open a ticket at http://codetipi.ticksy.com and include the url so the support team can check it out (They need to see live url to see code, so unfortunately a screenshot isn’t enough).

Codetipi

I have a problem… Media Formats in Zeen Options dosent works… any upload videos dosent works… embed codes with video dosent work…

Thanks for that, I found out the cause! This will be fixed in the next update which will be out very soon (probably within 24 hours) :)

Thanks again!

how can i update theme?

Hello, I use “tipi builder” on some pages of my site. However, I note that the comments do not appear despite the fact that they are activated in the page settings.

He must miss the code to display them.

Can you help me please ? Is there a code I can add, etc.

Thank you in advance !

You’re welcome, and sure thing, add this css too:

.block-css-15100 .button-arrow>i:before {
    content: "\e901";
}

Should do the trick ;)

It works ! Thank you very much for your help ! ;)

You’re welcome :)

Where is the support website?

Happy New Year :)

Hey!

Can You tell, why after last update header images in posts are resized and cropped? When You go into the post, You see only half of this image. Why is that? This is how it should be or it is next thing to convice me to buy more support?

Hi Duch,

Hm, I’m not sure why you think I’m trying to convince you to get support, Themeforest requires buyers asking for help to have valid support. Authors don’t have any control over the rules here, and I’ve already tried my best to help you here despite your expired support. But regardless, having valid support to ask for support is industry standard, so I’m surprised you think it’s something Codetipi (or I) am trying to get you to do :/

The theme demos are running the latest version and I can’t see what you describe there, so I’m not sure what exactly you are referring to. So yes, I’m afraid if you want the team to investigate, you will need to open a ticket and include the url + description of what issue you are experiencing.

Codetipi

This is little too much. You change some cosmetic things int heme updates, but there is no word about this in changelog. Your customers, as me, are updating the theme hoping it will change only those things You described in changelog, but there are more changes. You shouldnt do that, and Themeforest got nothing to with that. You should be always honest with customers and simply put all informations in changelog.

It not first time. Just look at Your Facebook page, You got a lot of feedback there after almost every update. I dont like it. It seems like You have changed Your update policy or something. I was really happy to work with You till my support was on. You wasnt asking me to send tickets then. I got every answer here. Suddenly its rise to be a problem, so this is also something not to like at all. Themeforest got nothing to do with that, I am afraid so.

Can You just give information about all changes in changelog, not only choosen one? It will spare a lot of time for us, users, and for U, if You’ll get no silly questions then.

Same thing with Your information about plugins compatibility. You inform that theme is compatibile with Jetpack, but in the fact it doesnt work with many modules. I dont like it, at all, and i dont know whhat is ahead before every update. You really should be more specific. Thats all.

Hi again,

I’m afraid your assumption is incorrect – every single change made to the theme code is mentioned in the change log. The theme is on a repository, which means every change is a separate “commit” which has its own entry in the change log.

However, if you look at the theme code, you will see tens of thousands of lines of code, and it is all interconnected, which means some times a change can possibly inadvertently affect something, somewhere else.

This is why all supported software out there constantly gets updates. Operating systems, browsers, apps, themes, WordPress, plugins, etc, etc, essentially anything with code.

The theme has thousands of option combinations + users usage varies + plugins on user sites changes things further, etc. This is why if you discover a change that wasn’t expected, you need to explain it with details so it can be looked into, and if it is a new bug, it will be fixed in another update.

It’s not a complicated process. You report a bug, we investigate, if confirmed, it will get fixed and included in the next theme update. This process means all discovered bugs will always be patched up :/

Regarding Jetpack, the theme is compatible with it too, most modules should work fine. There are some that of course won’t work as they don’t make sense to, as an example: Jetpack’s infinite scroll. The theme has its own infinite scroll system with native implementation, so it makes no sense to add extra code to make Jetpack’s infinite scroll work – the theme’s native option will always be better as it’s a native implementation.

Hope this info helps.

Hi! Great tool as always!

One question: We’ve update zeen and zeen engine to their latests versions and the option to edit categories with tipibuilder has dessapeared and it’s nowhere to be found.

It’s very important to us. How can we edit categories with tipibuilder now?

Thanks in advance.

Solved!

Hey there,

Happy new year and happy to hear it’s all good :)

Codetipi

Hello, I’m thinking of purchasing a second Zeen license. Is it possible to make the quotations on the front page random so it’s not the same static quotation all the time? Maybe have a quotation category, but then how can that be randomized into a block?

Hey Idea247,

Happy new year :) And really happy to hear you’ve enjoyed Zeen so much you’re thinking about using it on another project, that’s a great compliment!

I think one method would be to install this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/quotes-collection/ and put the shortcode from it in a “Custom Code” block in the Tipi Builder.

Hope this helps.

Codetipi

Thank you… I’m reaaaaally close to deciding between Zeen and another theme.

You’re welcome :) and I hope you do choose Zeen :P

Please can you add on social networks share, pinterest option and a way to specify order of the buttons? thanks!

http://prntscr.com/qi9sd0

You’re welcome, happy to help and thanks for your suggestions :)

one question, is there any reason to not show pin it button on desktop version? thanks

The pin it button is visible on desktop, but it appears when users hover over posts :)

The only thing I am missing is a typical onepager for a companysite.

To better define: A one page design with a slider on top and several modules with text an images for 3 services, team, skills, featured product, prices, about, mission statement and a contact form at the bottom.

This template is always pulling dynamic content, and it does it very well. But to make a companypage with text and images as well seems really overwhelming.

Of course we have seen companypages very often already. But it is still needed.

Hey again,

Thanks for the suggestion :)

You can more or less do something like this with the Tipi Builder (The eSports and Music demos are one page demos that show how it can be done), but I think more typical company one page demos will be added over time to help even more :)

I did a demo import of “main”. Very nice process. Very fast site. But I would like to start from another demo? What is the process to install a different demo?

Ok I did a reinstall on a subdomain.

Hey Ravi000,

Happy New Year :)

Happy you did it, but if you want to reset your site to be like a brand new installation (zero posts/pages/etc), then you could just use this plugin:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-reset/

That will restore it and you could import a new demo.

Alternatively, you could just go through the import process again (Appearance > Theme setup) and then in the import screen, click the advanced settings button and only import the “Options” one, because that will apply the look of the demo you are importing, but not the post/pages/etc. It won’t be the identical demo import, but it might be enough for your needs to play around.

Hope this helps.

Codetipi

Which plugin for multilanguage do you suggest? I used q-translate X a lot and it was great for 3 domains, each in 1 language and translation every article, page, portfolio entry in all three languages. But what is the best for your template?

Hey Ravi000,

Happy New Year :)

You can use any really, if you like Q-translate, you should try it again, I’m 99% certain it works fine with Zeen.

Zeen is also 100% compatible with WPML (paid plugin), so if you already have a license for that, you can use that too.

Hope this helps.

Hi! A short question. The Pinterest share seems to have a bug. I cannot share my posts on Pinterest, and the same problem occurs from your demo sites. The featured image is not displayed,Pinterest error code says – “missing image_url”...

Can you investigate into this please.. Besides that its a smashing theme!!!

Hey there,

Really happy you like the theme :)

Thanks for reporting, this has been fixed! You can see it working on the demo sites now :)

It will be included in the next theme update, which should be out early January.

Happy New Year!

P.s If you need the fix sooner, please open a ticket at http://codetipi.ticksy.com and say “Please forward this ticket straight to Chris” And include your site’s admin login details, he’ll be able to apply the patch on your site for you :)

Codetipi

Oki great! I can wait for the next update. Just wanted to alert you about the issue. Happy New Year! back atca.

Sounds good and Happy New Year to you too :)

I am using zeen from last 2 years without any problem. I am trying to change layout by installing demo content. I got success message after import.

https://prnt.sc/qddmzz

But when I am trying to add block with Tipi Builder, I am getting an error in the console. Please check below screenshots.

https://prnt.sc/qddo05 https://prnt.sc/qddo8p

Please let me know, what I am doing wrong. It was working fine before import demo content.

I also updated theme to 3.1.0

Thank you.

Hey KRichard1,

Happy you’ve been enjoying Zeen :)

Did you try to import the Volar demo by any chance? Because if so, there was a typo in the import code that meant it wasn’t working! You mentioned you updated to v3.1, and that is where the patch was (it’s confirmed to be working now).

As the Holidays season is extra busy, if the above doesn’t help, please open up a ticket at http://codetipi.ticksy.com and the support team will investigate as soon as they are able to.

Happy New Year :)

Codetipi

Hey

Happy New Year :)

Yes, I have imported the volar demo and also got success message. https://prnt.sc/qddmzz Please also check for theme, its latest version. https://prnt.sc/qirkor

Happy new year :)

Ah I see, if you see success then it should have imported fine. What exactly happens on your site after you do it? Because I just tested it now and it seems to work fine over here.

Codetipi

Hi! Since the latest update, my site has a problem with the speed of loading the logo header. It doesn’t load straight away like before but it loads this square gray photo first, after all the images on the page are loaded. How can I solve this? Thank you!

Hey Hatroung26,

The theme didn’t change anything with the logo in the latest update – if you see a grey square photo it means something else is going on (the theme wouldn’t do that)! Have you tried disabling all plugins in case one of them is doing it?

As the Holidays season is extra busy, if the above doesn’t help, please open up a ticket at http://codetipi.ticksy.com and the support team will investigate as soon as they are able to.

Happy New Year :)
