You mentioned in a previous post (17 days ago asked by MoniqueDThomas) that we can use a shortcode in the copyright text box to post a dynamic date rather than updating every year. However, this is the text that renders on my site when I use a shortcode:

“©[sc name=”dynamicdate”] WINDERMERE REAL ESTATE. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.”

So you’re wrong or there’s something I’m missing. Please explain.

Hey there,

For theme support you need to open a ticket at http://codetipi.ticksy.com and someone from support will happily help you out (Monique had valid support). See you in there!

I purchased this theme, but the “support” has expired. I don’t want to have to re-purchase the theme for this single issue for something that seems to be broken (you responded in a comment here that what I have done should be accepted… but short codes don’t work, it’s not user error). If you can please assist me I would appreciate it. You already answered the question here in the comments on MoniqueDThomas’ question, can you just expand on that answer please?

Hi again,

You need valid support to ask for any kind of support on Themeforest. Authors are not allowed to provide support to users with expired support (Monique has got valid support), as it wouldn’t be fair on people with valid support + against the Themeforest support policy. Please extend it and open a ticket and the support team can help you out.

I want to put a horizontal line between each post (for example, 5 posts), is it possible? Now the separator line can be placed first and last in a vertical row, but not between each post.

Hey Roozrang,

Thanks for choosing Zeen :)

Go to Theme options > Classic Blocks, and you’ll find a line separating option for posts in there.

Hope this helps.

Hi team~

Thank you for designing such a stunning Wordpress theme. I absolutely love it.

I set up my website and I need some guidance on how to install a similar subscription form as the one you have on the sample one. I could not find instructions so I would really appreciate your help with this!

Thank you so much, Camelia

Hey Camelia,

Love that you love it :) Thanks for choosing Zeen!

Sure thing – it depends on your desired mailing service. If you use Mailchimp (The theme demo does), then simply install this free plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/mailchimp-for-wp/

Then create your subscription form inside that plugin and you’ll be given a shortcode. Copy/paste that shortcode in the locations you want to show your subscribe form and that’s it.

Hope this helps.

Hi we have thousands of post galleries (default gallery into the post), now we want to add those galleries into Media Format > Gallery Images, how can we do that automatically bulk?

Hey Dellisn,

Please open a ticket at http://codetipi.ticksy.com and someone from support can investigate and try to help. Please make sure to include relevant example urls and explain what created the galleries before (theme custom field for example, etc).

Hello Friends, any experiences with podcasts on ZEEN? Which providers are best for ZEEN theme? Do you also use any WordPress plugins? Thank you in advance for sharing your experiences. BR, David from https://youfit.cz

Hey David,

There will be more podcast functionality added to the theme (a podcast demo is going to be made too :) ). Please email in your suggestions/wishes for podcast functionality, as that might help shape the features. Re plugins, you can use any that you like to be honest, as long as it’s coded properly, it’ll work with Zeen.

Codetipi

Thank you very much for your kind words :) These days it looks like the people also want to consume the content in audio / video style (boring / tired to read long stories), so if You could bring more features for podcasts and videos in the future, it would be very nice for all users :)

It’s no problem, that’s always the goal :)

Hi my client installed this theme and he has thousands of post galleries (default gallery into the post), now we want to add them into Media Format > Gallery Images, how can we do that automatically bulk?

Hey Jahid,

Your client (or you with his details) will need to open a ticket at http://codetipi.ticksy.com to get theme support, as support can only be provided to confirmed buyers.

Hello, I notice this issue with let’s info months ago but since i stopped updating my blog i didn’t pay much attention, and i thought that might be a bug and you probably will fix on the next updates, and I just installed the latest zeen version but the issue still happens.

The issue is that every time i tried to use let’s info block on post, it doesn’t allow me to “add Info” is just not there or disappear as you can see in the video, link below.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/170pCsjvqhY1mPgxsN-sde6vyxk5cRpl0/view

Thanks in advance.

Hey Ief,

Gutenberg has been changing so much with every update (as always) and I believe this has been tweaked already for the next update – so update to the next update once it comes out and it should be back to normal :)

Great! thank you so much!

It’s no problem :)

I’d like to make a gallery post, but nothing is happening when I switch the post type to “gallery”. Your documentation says there should be dedicated options to edit the gallery after you switch the post type, but I’m not seeing any changes. What should I be seeing?

Hey Penmason,

Thanks for choosing Zeen, hope you enjoy using it.

For all future support, please ensure to use the official support system: http://codetipi.ticksy.com but as a quick one – when you edit your post, you should then scroll down to the bottom of the page and you’ll see the Zeen Post Options metabox. Inside this box there is a Media tab which is where you set up your gallery images. If you don’t see the box, ensure the Zeen Engine plugin is active.

Hope this helps.

Hello!

I figured out a bug that Zeen has regarding light/dark mode.

Zeen works well with saving user preferences regarding light/dark mode, but bugs out when admin sets ‘Dark Article Background’ in content ‘layout settings’.

So if I already use the dark mode, AND admin sets Dark article Background, a user has to click the button TWO times before the article is in light mode.

- Alex

Hey Alex,

The Dark article background isn’t actually dark mode though – the dark mode button’s first click in this situation turns every into dark mode (header/footer/etc), but keeps the article as it’s already dark. As infinite post load means some posts will load with a dark background, I don’t think there’s another approach to this set up either unfortunately.

Codetipi

I see, thank you clearing that up! I don’t see another approach either. Would be a hassle to code, I imagine.

No worries, it’s not so much a hassle to code, it’s more of I can’t think of a possible approach to solve everything in that set up – I just don’t think it’s actually possible in any way as it can only be one or the other!

Hi! I just dropped by to mention that it would be really useful for me to have subtitles option included in the classic grid block – if you ever consider doing it :). Cheers!

Thanks, I know, I’m using it on the “grid a” element and it’s great, but it’s not possible on the “classic” elements.

Nevermind, switched to a grid that allows this for that element and it looks even better. Thank you for your answers!

You’re welcome, happy you’re happy now, but just a FYI – the subtitle is also possible on classic blocks too :P

Hi, I have a question regarding Emojis. Is there an option to enable Emojis only in specific category?

Hey Leaffar,

Thanks for checking out Zeen. Currently no there is no option for that. The option is global for all posts. However, you could use custom css snippet to hide them everywhere except on specific category posts. The Codetipi support team would be able to help you with that one :)

I’ve had this theme since Oct 2018, think I’ve got 4 or 5 licenses now. Love it.

Must admit, every time there’s an update I cross my fingers hoping there’s some WooCommerce improvements. I personally think my store looks a little flat, would love some easy Zeen magic to improve it.

Keep up the great work – thanks for all the effort with Zeen!

Hey there,

Thanks so much for trusting Zeen on multiple of your projects :)

Good news is that the upcoming v4 update (in progress) is aiming to overhaul/improve the WooCommerce side of the theme a lot. If you have specific suggestions, please do make sure to send them in, as it’s the ideal time to do that.

Hi CT: I did a search for GIF related comments and read them all.

Wondering if you have any current suggestions on best way to use GIFs as featured images in Zeen? Need the GIFs to work as archive images specifically.

Thank you.

Hey Codings,

By archive images, do you mean you want the gif to be running on category/tag pages? If so, the theme automatically plays gifs there already.

Check out the end of this url: https://demos.codetipi.com/zeen/category/design/tech/

You’ll see a gif featured image running the animation.

Hope this info helps

Codetipi

Thank you for the reply. Yes, that’s what I meant by archive pages. I finally had a chance to test this. Works PERFECTLY for regular WP blog posts, and the hero image override you provided is so useful! (Edit: originally wrote that it doesn’t work for WooCommerce, but it does… it just doesn’t seem to work for tipi builder grid images.)

-Speaking of the grids, been meaning to ask you about grids. For a grid like Grid Mix F, it seems to use resized images (1500px for example) and not the full image. This is better for loading of course, but sometimes the main image looks blurry. Is there any way to handle this to make it display the the best quality image or largest?

-The CTA block is great because it can be made for anything. Would you consider making it so the entire banner is clickable instead of having to use a CTA button?

You’re welcome and happy to hear :)

1- You could add another thumbnail size that is in the same proportions as the 1500px one but bigger, that would do it. You can open a ticket at http://codetipi.ticksy.com and someone from support can help with this one.

2- Happy you like it, but I’m not 100% sure if making the entire thing would really be possible due to UX issues. Could you not use an image instead? That could be made fully clickable.

@xrisxal2000 check plugin: laterpay revenue generator

Thanks for helping :)

Hi guys, pls can i add membership functionality in your great theme? You suggest any plugin? i would like the users to be able to login and pay a yearly fee Thanks

Hey there,

This has been under consideration – the main challenges with something like this is it can turn into a rabbit hole if you want it to be done properly. GDPR, hacker-proof (security), constant updates to remain compliant with everything, etc. It’s a bit of a minefield! Never say never, but right now I’d suggest looking at a company/service that dedicates to that (not just a random plugin). Lordreality recommended layerpay, on top of that check out these: https://www.izooto.com/blog/17-best-paywall-solutions-in-2020 some have WordPress plugins.

Hope this helps.

Great! Thanks!!

You’re welcome :)

Hello Tipi!

I have a question regarding those floating social sharing buttons. My Pinterest and Reddit numbers contribute to the share number. Whereas Facebook and Twitter don’t.

They do have shares but they are not reflected on total shares. Am I missing something?

Stay safe - Alex

Hey Alex,

Happy New Year :)

It might be a cache (those numbers are cached), if they don’t update after a day, please open a ticket and include a url where this is happening so the support team can analyse the HTML and see if there are any clues.

Codetipi

Looks great :-) i search a new Theme for a Drummer Site. I think this or the 15Zine is great. What do you think is better for a Drummer Magazine Website? Thanks

Can’t wait to see it :)

yes :-) i buy soon this Theme

Enjoy! :)

Hello! Love the theme. Can you please add feature to make footer copyright option a textarea and allow JS to avoid manually updating year. Thank you!

Hey Monique,

Love that you love it :)

I’m afraid that isn’t really possible due to Themeforest security guidelines. However, you can add a shortcode in there, which means you can find a plugin that generates a year date shortcode and put it in :)

Codetipi

Hi, Inline Post is not working, it keeps loading. https://ibb.co/yNrKJXZ *My support has expired :(

Hey Alex,

Happy New Year!

You’ll need to open a ticket about this and include admin login details so the support team can go in and investigate. I just tested it locally and it works fine on this side.

Codetipi

Thanks

No worries, hope the source of issue is identified – if it is a theme thing, it will be fixed. If it’s an external plugin issue, you’d need to contact the plugin author so that they can update their plugin.

Sorry my support is expired already, but I found a bug.

I found the same problem with this ticket It happens only on Safari (macOS/iOS) https://codetipi.ticksy.com//ticket/2443174/​​

if you fix by the code on that ticket, on Google Chrome the video will be hidden.

I tried to clean install a new theme already.

Hey Jiraz,

The site from that ticket was using a third party plugin that overrides the videos with extra styling, that’s what was really causing the issue. The theme’s videos all work 100% well by default, it must be a plugin your site doing it. You will need to open a ticket and share your url so the support team can investigate and help you out.
