Hello guys,

After the new Zeen update and Lets Review update the stars in the category section are appearing broken.

You can see here: https://durmonski.com/category/book-summaries/

I believe it’s related to the following part of your changelog from today:

“Let’s Review star reviews will now show stars outside of post.”

Can you please check that?

Hi Durmonski,

This is indeed a styling quirk for that block style, it has been patched up already and will be included in v3.3.1 update later today :)

Still my favorite theme! I do have a feature request though. It would be great to have more options to format the top message bar (bold certain texts, add a button, etc.) Thanks!

Hey Noisetrend,

Really happy to hear that :)

HTML will work in the top bar message bar from the next update (v3.3.1), so you’ll be able to bold/italic text with simple html – thanks for the suggestion. And a new button option will be looked into too, thanks again.

Example of top bar message with bold that will work from next update:

Some text <strong>goes</strong> here
The goes will be bold with that.

Hope this helps.

Hi! I’m attempting to add the Subscribe row as seen in the Fashion/Volar home page template. (2 columns, subscribe on left and mag cover on right) I need to add a solid background color, but I can’t modify the option for the column block. I can’t find any documentation either. Please help. Also, how do I create/delete a sidebar within Tipi Builder? Thanks

Nevermind. I just needed to update the theme.

Hey there,

Really happy it’s all good now :)

Codetipi

Hello. I am trying to edit with Tipi builder on the homepage. But everytime I clicked on it, the screen said “Loading”..? What’s going on? It worked a week ago and now it’s not working anymore. Could you please help me fix this issue? Thank you.

Hey Nela007,

I’m sorry to hear that, but if it was working before, then it means something else changed in the site that is causing the problem. Have you installed any new plugins perhaps? Try disabling all plugins to see if that helps. If it doesn’t help, please open a ticket at http://codetipi.ticksy.com and include all the info so the support team can investigate the cause.

Hope this helps.

Codetipi

Thank you for your reply. I haven’t installed any new plugin. I tried to use tipi builder with new page, it also shows on the screen “LOADING”.

My support ticket just expired. and i have only this issue. Is there any way you can help me to resolve this issue or otherwise I have to pay $45 just for this support? Thank you.

Hi again,

You’re welcome! But if it worked a week ago, then something definitely has change don your site – this definitely isn’t a theme issue though as the builder is working fine for other users (And also on the development/demo sites), so if you can’t fix this (try disabling plugins) you will indeed need to open a ticket as it is a isolated issue on your site only, and the support team will need to investigate in your site to be able to help.

Beautiful theme! And so much functionality! Congrats :)

Just wondering whether:

+ You’ve tested this theme with any directory and/or listings plugins. It is imperative that we can include a simple directory (image, blurb, contacts, link to) within our magazine. Alternatively does the theme’s functionality enable our creating one without an additional plugin.

+ You can have a post open externally (new window), to another website? Without the need of a plugin such as https://wordpress.org/plugins/page-links-to/.

With thanks in advance :)

Hi Wildbluefiji,

Thanks for the kind words, really happy you like it :)

1- We sent you an email about this, but I’ll copy/paste the answer here again -The theme hasn’t been tested with any directory plugins, but do you have a site set up already with such a plugin? Because if you do, let me know the name of the plugin and I can check it out, and I can then hopefully give you a more accurate answer.

2- WordPress theme best practise means that normal internal posts don’t open in a new tab, to do that you would indeed need a plugin of sorts, but that’s the type of thing plugins are exactly there for :)

Hope this helps.

Last year I report problem about Let’s Review loaded all tag (or many information) and break Tipi builder to start.

Now I use Zeen version 3.2 and Let’s Review 3.1 a problem still persist but only when I launch Tipi Builder it can’t load (and Tipi Builder is work fine when I disable Let’s Review) but plugin is work fine on frontend and backend.

You’re welcome, it’s out now ;)

That’s Great!

Hope it helps!

Hi Codetipi :) I just saw that the favicon does not appear in Google’s search results. Can I fix that ? Thank a lot ;) Cheers

Hi Taunyo,

Themes don’t control/set favicons, that is a core WordPress feature and you set it in Appearance > Site Identity > Site Icon :)

Hope this helps.

Codetipi

Hi Codetipi, yes I did that but it doesn’t work in the Google’s search results. We have a double call of <link rel=’icon’... with two different format :( So it seems to be weird for Google

Ah I see, in that case you need to look at your plugins in case another one is doing (perhaps SEO Yoast?), as this is 100% nothing to do with Zeen (the theme does not output <link rel=”icon” anywhere), so I’m afraid there isn’t anything I or the theme can do to help.

Hi, I’m very interested in buying but I have one question. Is the Zeen theme compatible with affiliates like shopstyle collective? ... Looking forward to your reply, thank you in advance!

Hey Keileanikei,

Thanks for the interest in Zeen :)

That’s an interesting one! Do you have an account with shopstyle Collective already? If so, what exactly would you do with it – Is it just adding embeds they give you to your article’s content? Have you tested it on the default WordPress theme (TwentyNineteen)?

The goal of Zeen is to be extra flexible, so without knowing more, I think it should work fine, however, as systems like shopstyle collective are definitely desirable and useful for some users, if it didn’t work with the theme and it was because the theme required extra code/integration for the system, it would definitely be looked at.

Codetipi

Thank you so much for replying! I’m looking to display their widgets: “my favorite items” and a “shop the post” section. I havent tried it on the twenty nineteen theme yet, Ill do that very soon.

You’re welcome :) And sounds good, try it there first because as Zeen is coded following best WordPress coding practises, that means that if it works on the default theme, then it will also work in Zeen.

If it doesn’t, then share more info about what you did, as it might still work in Zeen.

Can I enable “Reading Mode” button in mobile site? now in desktop site, I have Reading Mode button but I can’t find way to enable it on mobile site.

Hey Shownolimit,

Happy New Year :)

Currently it’s a desktop only feature, however, an option to show it on mobile is on the development list, so it will be added in a future update 100% :)

Codetipi

Oh Thank you :)

It’s no problem :)

Hi, do all the demos support sidebar? Also, are there any that support sidebar on the side (2, right and left)?

You’re welcome!

That is an AMP error (only affects the relevant amp post), and it sounds like you have an image in your post that doesn’t have a src set (sounds like a broken image). Edit the relevant post and look through it to make sure it’s all good.

Codetipi

Uhm okey, maybe it’s because I imported an old website. Thank you very much as always.

You’re welcome :)

Hello ! Can you add Unsplash in social accounts options of the theme please ? (possibility displaying anywhere on the theme).

Thank you !

The first one is fine, the second should be:

.link-color-wrap > p > a:not(.tipi-lightbox):after {

}

Hope this helps :)

Hello ! Thanks for your help, the solution is :

.link-color-wrap > p > a:not(.tipi-lightbox)
{
  display:inline-block;
  position:relative;
}
.link-color-wrap > p > a:not(.tipi-lightbox):after {
content:'';position:absolute;top:90%;left:0;width:100%;border-bottom:2px solid #00284C
}

Thanks ;)

Happy to hear :) You’re welcome.

Hello there :) Thank you for a great theme! It’s working perfectly fine. I have 2 questions though.

After last update, there’s no possibility to display the social sharing icons in post just on “Start Of Article”. When this option is checked, it appears also “Below Title”, despite I left “Below Title” unchecked. When I unchecked “Start Of Article” it disappear from both places. Is it a bug? Or am I missing somthing?

Hey Malginka,

Happy New Year :)

It sounds like you haven’t also updated the Zeen Engine plugin, which also got an update. Whenever you update Zeen, remember you should also update all plugins that have updated too.

Try going to Appearance > Install plugins to update Zeen Engine.

That will do it. Hope this helps! :)

Codetipi

Yes! Thank you a lot! I forgot about this one :D

You’re welcome :)

Hello, is this theme compatible with PHP 7.3 ? Thanks

Hey Marcoz123,

Thanks for checking out Zeen :)

Yes, Zeen is coded very cleanly so it’s compatible with the very latest PHP versions :)

Codetipi

Hello, codetipi With the last update 3.2.1, the social share icons are still bellow title, and yet is deactivated. – https://normandydmc.com/chasse-au-tresor/ – The only box checked is under the article, and it’s ok How to fix it? Thank you for help

Hey Bactriane17,

Happy New Year :)

It sounds like you haven’t also updated the Zeen Engine plugin, which also got an update. Whenever you update Zeen, remember you should also update all plugins that have updated too.

Try going to Appearance > Install plugins to update Zeen Engine.

That will do it. Hope this helps! :)

Codetipi

Happy new year Codetipi I actually forgot to update Zeen Engine plugin. and now it’s OK. Thank You, I love your theme :-)

Love that you love Zeen :) And you’re welcome, happy I could help.

Hi Сodetipi! I can’t change the value in the line padding-top: 50px to 35px: @media only screen and (min-width: 1240px) #block-wrap-14600 > .tipi-row-inner-style { padding-top: 50px; } an error appears in the line #block-wrap-14600 > .tipi-row-inner-style

how to fix?

Hey lonelytravels,

Happy New Year :)

Please open up a ticket at http://codetipi.ticksy.com and someone from the support team can help you out with this one

Codetipi

Since last update, there is a Problem with the class ”.hero” at posts. A max-height: 600px will crop all our Images. We fixed this with jquery.

Hey Mblind,

Could you please share the site’s url to check it out? Because you definitely shouldn’t be needing to fix anything with jQuery.

Codetipi

Hello, after last update my Social Icons Block shows a lot of icons even if I’ve selected only three to be displayed (Facebook, Twitter and Instagram). Inside the Tipibuilder and Zeen Options page it seems ok (only three icons) but on the live site it’s not. I’ve tried to replace previous block with another but it’​s the same. I’ve tried to clear the cache too. Many thanks in advance.

Hey there,

Ah yes, the new icons code had a little typo that meant they weren’t being checked if they were enabled or not. This has been fixed and will be included in a new update that will be released today :)

Codetipi

Great! Thanks.

It’s no problem :)

Hi,

After the last update and without doing anything from my side and despite being the option disabled, below the title social share icons plus a h1 size SHARE are shown.

Example: https://trescuatrotres.es/ordago-a-lo-grande/

Best regards. Antonio

I forgot to say that I already tried cleaning cache.

Hey Antonio,

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! :)

Hi Guys,

Happy New year 2020! Thanks again to keep on bringing some fresh and new options for the theme. Still using Zeen and customizing a lot -> http://trendland.com Don’t have support anymore but wanted to give you few feedbacks on your left/right header column menu:

a) a small bug where the submenus were hidden in the columns – fixed it with .secondary-wrap-v {overflow: visible;}

b) You probably created it more for having a simpler menu, fine – But where is the option for the slide-in menu then ? Didnt found where to activate it when you have the column header – Would be great to also have it available.

c) Would awesome to have the Arrow option as well, so you can slide-in the left menu/header (the logo stays) – Similar to https://futurism.com

So to recap, 1 small bug when sub-menus are activated, The option to activate the extra slide-in menu with this header, and a change request to make the left header disappear.

Let me know and wishing you all the best… Thank you!

Hey Cyrilstyle,

Happy New Year :)

Site’s looking really slick, great job!

a) Will be looked into, I think there was a reason the overflow was hidden, will investigate and implement changes so submenus appear too.

b) You can enable the slide menu in the secondary menu theme options, it will appear next to the social icons.

c) That could well be possible (already done in the Tipi Builder), so will look into it. Main issue that needs to be overcome would be if you use white logo! Thanks for the suggestion.

P.s one tiny tip I’d suggest is that you give your image block logo at the top of the homepage a retina version too, as it won’t look sharp on retina screens without that.

Hope this helps.

Codetipi

Hey, quick question: Is it possible to create a grid with the categories, instead of posts?

Also, is it possible to enable the “Reading:” and Dark/Light bar on Mobile?

Hey Dmteo,

To create links for categories, at the moment you can do it with the Image block in a columns block (that’s how the ones here were done: https://demos.codetipi.com/zeen-juliet/ )

A dedicated category grid block will be added in a future update though.

Regarding the dark/light on mobile, that will also be added in a future update :)
