Hi, Is this theme compatible with All in One SEO? because I don’t want use Yoast.

Hi Budichexo,

Thanks for checking out Zeen :)

Yes, the theme is compatible with All in One SEO too.

Codetipi

Nav menu roles, is giving a conflict in the megamenu submenu style of your theme. I always need to deactivate this, plugin to set/select the right dropdown menu style again.

How can i make the dropdown style one as default? (with 1, I mean, the top left menu dropdown style) So i don’t have to do this each time.

Thank you in advance. Keep up the great work!

Hi MEMT,

In WordPress only one thing can control the menu system (theme or plugins) and plugins take priority. This means that if you have a plugin that controls the menu system, that will always override the theme’s.

The only possible way to do it is – You have to disable the plugin that is override the menu system, then set up the theme menu items and save, and then enable your plugin again. Even though you can’t literally see the theme menu options any longer, your settings are all safely stored in the database.

Hope this helps.

Hi Codetipi,

That works, can I set a other default menu style in your theme? Because our menu is updated on regular basis. If we disable the plugin, for a brief moment our security for members only content is visible.

I’m afraid this isn’t something the theme (or custom code) can help with, it’s the way WordPress works. Only one thing can control the menu, and if a plugin is controlling it, then it is literally impossible for a theme to do anything about it. Perhaps you should consider installing a maintanence plugin and putting your site under maintenance when you want to change the menus.

Hello. I seem to have found a bug. If you take a look at this page https://bit.ly/2RuiUB2 that uses the tipi builder, and scroll down to the section that has the sidebar, all the articles displayed to the left are being listed as if they are by the same author, when they are by different authors. However, the correct author avatar is displayed, but the wrong name and link. How can I fix this? My support has expired, but I imagine this bug effects everyone using your theme. So, hopefully you can fix it?

The theme is compatible with the plugin, it must be a bug in the plugin as when you have it enabled the plugin controls the byline author output. Try downgrading to an older Co author plus version to test if it is new bug, if it is you can report it to the plugin author, as only they can really fix it I’m afraid.

Could it perhaps be a coding problem with the Masonry layout? The problem only seems to occur when that is selected.

Hm, the byline isn’t created by the block types though, they are all calling the identical method. Can you try moving the Masonry block much higher in the page to see if that helps? If is does, it means something else is manipulating the query at some point in the page. If this doesn’t help, you will need to open a ticket at http://codetipi.ticksy.com and ask to be forwarded to Chris to investigate it as we can’t recreate it locally (include staging site info if possible and admin logins).

wow this theme is like EVERYTHING…

One more question..the black border under the navigation I can’t seem to find where to disable it I’d like to see what it looks like without the border and just a dropshadow instead..I am using the beautiful main Zeen theme.

Hi Corpor8chic,

Really happy you’re enjoying Zeen :)

You can do that in the Theme options > Header >Main Menu, you’ll find the border options there that you can disable :)

Hope this helps.

​I was wondering if there is a way to make Classic block (image on the left, text on the right) become automatically Classic Big (image on top, text on bottom) in mobile size. Right now Classic block becomes a thumbnail in mobile size, images stays on left and text on right. I wish there is a way to make the text go below the image in mobile size. Thank you.

Hi Alpkan,

Yeah this is possible but would require a css snippet to change it to work that way, if you open up a ticket at http://codetipi.ticksy.com and explain this to the support team, they’ll be able to help with it.

Hope this helps.

Hello friends, is possible to make this kind of header in the post?

Sample: http://vergo.wpmasters.org/codate/blog/2018/07/25/it-must-be-in-a-month-but-i-see-nothing-here/

I mean the overlay manu above the picture.

Thank you for your opinion. BR, David

Hi David,

There is an option to have an overlaying header – edit a post, go to Zeen post options > Header. There are plans for more in future updates.

Codetipi

Thank you for your reply, very possitive feeling of that. I love your theme.

Please make for your header more options to reach “Clasic style” header. With your header now I am not able to reach the righ style.

Samples of classic style: http://interior.blabber.ancorathemes.com/ http://mens-style.blabber.ancorathemes.com/ http://sports.blabber.ancorathemes.com/

Underlinked menu items… : https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_journal/ please add underlinked menu items :)

...also very nice header https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_tech_news_pro/

Thank you in advance :) Reagdrs, David

You’re welcome.

You can easily do those headers in Zeen though, what part exactly aren’t you able to do?

Hello. Sorry for what is probably a silly question. I have a wordpress.com site on the business tier which lets you upload themes. Would Zeen work this way? Many thanks.

Hey Higherplainnetwork,

It’s not a silly question at all! WordPress.com can definitely be confusing as their packages are so different (and they are separate to WordPress.org).

However, I can confirm that the Business tier on wordpress.com does indeed allow you to install Zeen.

Hope you enjoy using it :)

Hi here,

quick question if able to help. When it comes to using videos set as background to show in the featured image section, how did you get it to loop in the Valor demo? The girl dancing in the white dress, its looped. is it a gif?

As at the moment my videos stop and they do not repeat. So i figured maybe someone can just let me know if thats possible for the looping or not.

Thanks

Hey Justin,

Sure thing – that is indeed a video (not a gif), it’s a Vimeo video, but YouTube would also work. The loop happens automatically too, are you using the very latest Zeen version? If you are, please open a ticket at http://codetipi.ticksy.com for the support team to help you investigate. In the ticket ensure to include all the steps to recreate the issue (including the video info you entered + where).

How can I disable the drop down menu feature?

Hey Will,

You do it by going into your Appearance > Menus, and then click on the menu item you want to turn it off for, and select the first megamenu design option. If the menu item doesn’t have any children menu items set, then nothing will show for it.

Hope this helps.

Is it just me or is there no way to link a BUTTON to an actual address on TipiBuilder?

Hey Whobridge,

You can do that, simply write your text, then select the text and you’ll see the Tipi toolbar, which has a link option :)

Codetipi

Hello,

Sorry but this feature is not activated :

New: Zeen Social Icons Widget: Unsplash network

My theme and plugins are updated but no Unsplash field in the widget.. Can you help me please ?

Thanks !

Hi Tracks,

I had a look and that widget definitely does have the Unsplash option in the latest version, make sure you are definitely on the latest theme and Zeen Engine updates and it will appear (It’s the penultimate social icon option in the widget).

Codetipi

Hello,

Sorry but Unsplash is not included in widget template :

    public function update( $new_instance, $old_instance ) {
        $instance = $old_instance;
        $instance['title']      = sanitize_text_field( $new_instance['title'] );
        $instance['facebook']   = esc_url( $new_instance['facebook'] );
        $instance['twitter']   = esc_url( $new_instance['twitter'] );
        $instance['instagram']   = esc_url( $new_instance['instagram'] );
        $instance['youtube']   = esc_url( $new_instance['youtube'] );
        $instance['pinterest']   = esc_url( $new_instance['pinterest'] );
        $instance['vk']   = esc_url( $new_instance['vk'] );
        $instance['linkedin']   = esc_url( $new_instance['linkedin'] );
        $instance['rss']   = esc_url( $new_instance['rss'] );
        $instance['vimeo']   = esc_url( $new_instance['vimeo'] );
        $instance['soundcloud']   = esc_url( $new_instance['soundcloud'] );
        $instance['dribbble']   = esc_url( $new_instance['dribbble'] );
        $instance['tumblr']   = esc_url( $new_instance['tumblr'] );
        $instance['snapchat']   = esc_url( $new_instance['snapchat'] );
        $instance['spotify']   = esc_url( $new_instance['spotify'] );
        $instance['medium']   = esc_url( $new_instance['medium'] );
        $instance['tooltip'] = $new_instance['tooltip'] ? 1 : 0;
        $instance['center'] = $new_instance['center'] ? 1 : 0;
        $instance['nofollow'] = $new_instance['nofollow'] ? 1 : 0;
        $instance['new_tab'] = $new_instance['new_tab'] ? 1 : 0;
        $instance['size'] = $new_instance['size'] ? intval( $new_instance['size'] ) : 1;

        if ( in_array( $new_instance['theme'], array( 'dark', 'light' ) ) ) {
            $instance['theme'] = $new_instance['theme'];
        } else {
            $instance['theme'] = 'light';
        }

        return $instance;
    }

Version of : - theme : 3.4.1 - zeen engine : 2.4.1

Thanks

Ah I know what happened, the version with the Unsplash icon wasn’t committed in time before the v2.4.1 version was created. It will be included in Zeen Engine 2.4.2.

Hi, in some next update, will be integrated the Dark Mode button in the home page? so the users can select in the home is use the website in dark mode or normal mode. Thanks

Hi Gerardo,

I can’t say for sure what update, but it is on the development to do list :)

Hello there,

First I ABSOLUTELY love this theme..like I love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, this theme! And I have collected a lot of themes through the years this by FAR the best theme on the marketplace.

I do have a quick question because I feel I must be overlooking it as it was easy to set this up in the other theme of yours I own…I am using a background image so I want the content area of every block to be white by default not transparent is there some option to do this automatically without adding additional css or manually adding in each block which is what I am doing but this is just not the best way to handle it as I am working on quite a large site.

Thank you..oh and did I mention that I love, this theme? lol thank you!

Hey Corpor8chic,

And I love love love that you love love love Zeen :)

Are you saying your site has a global background image set? If so, new blocks you add in the Tipi Builder will be set to use the “Content area background”, which is a separate option above the Global background image option, if that is white, blocks by default will use that. :)

This whole system was added in an older update, so if you created pages with the Tipi Builder in an update that was before that specific update, and then you added a background image to your site, then you will need to go and edit those specific old pages, but only those. Any newer pages will automatically work as expected.

Hope this info helps :)

A few days ago I purchased and installed Zeen. I created some categories and used the theme options to edit the imported demo. TIPI worked perfectly. Then I wrote an article to leave in draft. When I tried to save it I got this error: “Update failed. Error message: The response is not a valid JSON response.”. I also tried to edit the categories and pages and save them and the message is always the same. Also, after this has happened, the TIPI builder also no longer works. The page says it is Active but when I click on TIPI, the domain page of the site under construction opens. Even in the theme options I no longer see the preview but only the page of the site under construction …

Hey Fassirelli,

Thanks for choosing Zeen, I really hope you enjoy using it! That definitely doesn’t sound normal though, have you tried disabling all plugins to see if one of them is causing it? It could for instance be an overly aggressive cache or minify plugin that needs to be finetuned. If that isn’t it – can you please open a ticket up at http://codetipi.ticksy.com and include urls + admin logins so the Codetipi support team can investigate for you?

All the sudden on my website the trending block no longer works and it shows some articles trended months back. The trending thumbs are created on home page using Tibi Builder blocks. It worked for almost an year and it no longer works. The block filter settings were same as it was before, nothing was changed. So what is causing this? I am suspecting this happened with a new update.

Hey Fainaj,

The trending code has not changed at all for quite a while, therefore, the only thing that could stop the trending from working is if your Jetpack connection broke or you disabled the stats module, as without that the trending wouldn’t appear. If that isn’t it, please open a ticket at http://codetipi.ticksy.com and share the url and steps to recreate it, the support team will investigate it deeper for you.

Codetipi

Thank You. Was able to solve it by deleting Transients.

Ah happy you fixed it :)

Hello, thanks for the add of Unsplash in social networks. I enter my username in Zeen options but no icon in menu bar, just blank space. Can you fix it ?

Can you add Unsplash in social widget please ?

Thanks !

Yeah that is the last update, did you refresh cache? I tested it and it works fine over here.

Hello, cache refreshed, it works ! Thanks ;)

Ah perfect, happy to hear :)

and there is a problem. today my server has been attacked. attacked by a virus just through a subdomain where I installed only your template on the new wordpress configuration … the hosting provider blocked my site.I had no problem with them for 5 years …

Hi Kimunyest,

I’m sorry to hear that, but malware on sites is extremely common, and it is pure coincidence that you were running the theme on a compromised site.

There are a million and one ways sites get malware: WordPress is extremely popular and open source, meaning hackers constantly look for new exploits. Noticed how every WordPress update includes “security fixes”? That’s why you should always update WordPress core as soon as possible. Then of course there is code in themes (Zeen follows all WordPress coding standards, so highly unlikely to have a vulnerability) and plugins. Plugins are a big source of hacks because users have loads of them installed, and as a lot are free, they are abandoned eventually, and if they’re coded incorrectly/outdated, this is a problem.

But WP core, themes and plugins are the tip of the iceberg, there is a huge amount of other things that hackers target.

This includes weak passwords, weak usernames (don’t use admin), weak hosting with hosting server vulnerabilities, shared server with other sites, PHP extensions, PHP execution permissions, security protocols set up on your hosting, having ever run “nulled” themes, etc, etc…

It is important to understand that most infected sites aren’t even aware their sites have malware, as virus/malware’s whole point is to run undetected. Lots of malware remain dormant until x time, your site likely has had it for a while already.

With all this being said, depending on your hosting’s competency and customer service, they unfortunately likely won’t clean it all completely, and it’ll keep coming back (what I mentioned before about being dormant). I recommend installing multiple security plugins, such as Sucuri plugin to run multiple scans through all WordPress core files to ensure they haven’t been modified and clean it all up.

Best of luck with it.

Hello, thanks for the add of Unsplash in social networks. I enter my username in Zeen options but no icon in menu bar, just blank space. Can you fix it ?

Can you add Unsplash in social widget please ?

Thanks !

Hi Tracks,

You’re welcome – did you update Zeen Engine plugin too? Appearance > Install plugins ;)

And the Unsplash option has been added to the widget to the next theme update, thanks for the reminder!

Hi, How can I disable built in LazyLoad function? it is creating issue populating featured image in home page.

Hi Dellisn,

You can turn it off in the Performance tab of the theme options, however, the theme’s lazyload 100% wouldn’t be the cause of any issues, it is definitely something else breaking your site’s JavaScript which would stop lazyload from running.

Disabling all plugins to confirm this and then identify which one exactly it is.

Hope this helps.

Hi, thank you very much to add the whatsapp business. I try to add the social icon and type the number or the full url, but not appear (https://prnt.sc/qoxdnk) the icon. Is it possible it actived a social icons limited (no more 6)?

My website: gerardopandolfi.com

Thanks

Hi Gerardo,

You’re welcome. Did you remember to also update Zeen Engine? Appearance > Install plugins :P

Codetipi

Yes sure. It all updates. Thanks

I had a look and you don’t have Whatsapp enabled in any of the social icon areas though, go to Main Menu/Footer tabs in the theme options and enable it :)
