It would be great to have an option to add a photographer credit for an entire article, rather than per image. To appear up with ‘By Bob’ author credit.

Hey Sp0rk,

Thanks for choosing 15Zine, I hope you’re enjoying it :)

I don’t think it would be possible to add something like that to the by line, but if you want to do that, why not add a photographer credit at the end of the article? You could use the WordPress toolbar tools to style it, such as italic/size/color/etc, and then just copy that formula (copy/paste) wherever you want to use it.

I had added 5 new tags, and after setting up the ‘tag cloud’ widget in sidebar there is no tags showing in ‘tag clouds’. But if i select ‘categories’ from dropdown on ‘tag clouds’ widget, then it is showning all categories, but not able to show any tags.

Hey Jimmynagi,

Thanks for choosing 15Zine.

That looks quite strange, but I answered your ticket in the support system about this, take a look over there.

Hi guys, Is there any way I can disable the slider on the mobile version? Thanks in advance!

Great, that works but the posts that were originally in the slider are not shown at all now. Is there any workaround for that?

I have another question right away: Is it possible to change the amount of posts in this specific slider? For example change it to just 3 or 6 instead of 9?

Hey again,

Ohh sorry, I didn’t realise what you meant, I thought you wanted to hide the slider on mobile, not disable it. I’m afraid though that you can’t disable it on mobile, as a responsive WordPress site outputs the exact same HTML out, regardless of what device you are on, so the slider will always output the slider code and work that way.

And at the moment, it is only possible to set the number of posts in a slider in the 15Zine homepage builder module options, not on the latest style homepage (which is what you are using), but I definitely plan to add an option to control the number of posts in the slider, and you will be able to set it to 3 posts. And if you do that, the slider will turn into a static grid of 3 posts.

Hope this helps.

Cubell,
I suspect you’re busy with the BuddyPress styling integration, however I was wondering if there’s any chance you’ll be adding Gravity Forms styling in the near future?

That would be amazing to have since I’m sure I’m not the only one using this amazing form plugin.

Hey again :)

I am indeed and BuddyPress integration is nearly complete, so shouldn’t be long before I release v1.3 :)

And I haven’t ever really used Gravity Forms, I prefer simpler plugins, but I will look into it and see if it is something I can do.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Cubell

Sounds great. If I hand you the plugin for development purposes, would that help?

I’m not sure you are allowed to do that, but don’t worry about it! in the future if I decide to definitely do it, I can contact the Gravity form author and I’m sure he’ll send me a copy for development purposes :)

Hi :)

I have a smalll question, is there any way to remove the slider entirly from the mobile version?

Please let me know!

Have a nice day,

Grt

Hi SIr that like totaly destroid my desktop version now the first post is showing up on the grid and not under the grid where it supposed to be. So what i meen is my latest posts do not show were they belong but first show in the grid

I removed the code but it wont turn back, i also did a global reset but it wont change back eather this is not cool :( please contact me direct at info@fakka.nl so i can provide a user admin for you to check it out please

Oke fiuuuw :p i fixed it never mind but still this code didnt work

Hey again,

That doesn’t sound good at all! But that code is very simple CSS code, unless you entered it in the wrong box or similar, it wouldn’t really do anything. Try adding an !important to make it an important CSS statement:

@media only screen and (max-width: 768px) {
.cb-grid-block { display: none !important; }
}

And make sure you add it to Theme Options -> Custom Code -> Custom CSS. If it still doesn’t work, is there any other CSS code you have entered in there already? Share all the final code to see if maybe you have broken code elsewhere doing it :)

Cubell

Hi, I’ve got an issue where new posts are not showing up on the home page. Any idea what that could be? Site is http://www.parentchildcenter.org/

Thanks!

I turned off the posts offset feature and that got them to display. Maybe a bug with that feature?

Hi Inkridge,

Thanks for choosing 15Zine.

The offset option is to skip the posts that appear in the grid, in the post lists below. So the grid would show posts #1 -> #4, and below you would see from posts #5 onwards. However, if your grid is customized (i.e. doesn’t show default latest posts), then you need to disable the offset option as the posts below will still show from #5 onwards, but the grid will be showing your customized list of posts, and this is the way the Offset feature works in WordPress queries, it isn’t to remove duplicates, it is an option to “skip x number of posts”.

I hope this makes sense.

Cubell

Is it possible to put a CATEGORY in one of the sliders, rather than posts? I want to feature links to the category pages. Thanks!

Hey TedAvery,

Thanks for choosing 15Zine :)

I’m afraid that isn’t possible, as the sliders need posts to be able to work. Sliders show featured images + by line information that categories don’t have, so it wouldn’t be able to work the same way.

Cubell

Yeah, I’ve checked the documentation and followed the instructions. Post 15zine post options showed up but the gallery creator is still missing.

Hey again,

Ah I see. In that case, open a ticket at http://support.cubellthemes.com and I’ll share some code that may possibly help, if not, I will need to look into it in more detail to include in a future update.

Cubell

Hi!

I love the theme. It’s truly great!

I have a problem though.

There is this cool functionality appearing when you set post format to gallery. However, I was not able to get it to appear on my custom post edit page even though it was gallery format and the post type uses basic ‘category’ taxonomy.

I noticed that I don’t have “15zine post format: gallery” screen option in the screen options menu as well so I’m pretty sure it’s somehow connected.

It would be great if you told me how to enable this screen option for the custom post type. I’m also decent at PHP coding so feel free to give me just a simple advice eg. what filter to user or sth.

Have a wondreful day.

Thanks!

Hey Tomojlogin,

Thanks for choosing 15Zine and for the love for it :)

Have you told the theme about your custom post types? Check the documentation here: http://docs.cubellthemes.com/15zine/#!/customposttype and see if that helps!

Have a great day too :)

Cubell

Hi,

Before purchasing, I want to ask two things.

first one is, is this theme have the slideshow gallery like this? https://wordpress.org/plugins/slideshow-gallery/screenshots/

And the other one is, is possible custom the width of the page to smaller? like the BOXED bigger and the main content width smaller.

thanks.

Hey again,

No problem! The demo is set to 1200px. but if you resize your browser to be under 1200px wide (and over 1020px wide), you will see the 1020px version. In other words, resize your browser’s width to make it smaller and when the site snaps into a smaller size, the first time that happens is the 1020px version.

Hope this helps.

Cubell

Can I make the whole site tighter? thanks.

Hi again,

Can you elaborate on what you mean by tighter? Do you mean make it even smaller than 1020px width? If so, I’m afraid not, the theme only allows for two main widths 1020px and 1200px, anything smaller would look way too small on desktops and lose the feel for the clean minimalist design of the theme :)

Cubell

Cubell,
How do I switch from ALL CAPS to lowercase for the Headings?

Hey again,

Would you like to do that across the entire site to everything? If so, try using:

* { text-transform: none!important; }

Hope that helps.

Cubell

Thanks Cubell! That worked for all. But how do I target only certain Hs? I would like to have control over each instead of all at once.

No worries! Try replacing the * with a h1 to target h1’s, and h2 for h2’s. Is that what you meant?

Cubell

Hi,

Could you tell me how could I avoid the capital letters in the Tittle of my news, and in the name of Editors and the Post date?

Exemple: If I write in the title “Reggae Party in Barcelona”, the web shows “REGGAE PARTY IN BARCELONA”....

and the author and the date: CINZIA MAGGIO13 MAYO, 2015

How can I avoid it?

Is it relationed with the code “text-transform: uppercase;” ???

In whihc CSS files can eliminate it?

Thanks!!!

Hey Nimi86,

Thanks for choosing 15Zine.

Would you like to simply disable uppercase throughtout the site? If so, copy/paste the following code into your Theme Options -> Custom Code -> Custom CSS box:

* { text-transform: none !important; }

Hope this helps.

Cubell

Loved this theme. Couple of pre sales questions, before I hit BUY

1. Does this theme usage shortcodes for creation of beautiful pages. Like I’m planning to use “featured image parallax pages” design for my posts and custom post types. will it leave shortcodes in posts, which makes it difficult to switch theme in future?

2. Whether theme builder will leave shortcodes for the pages?

3. What are the supported lightbox gallery solutions. I’m likely to use envira gallery for it.

Hey Njainb,

Thanks very much for the interest and love for the theme :)

1- No shortcodes are used for featured image styles or the homepage. I hate shortcodes, but unfortunately other authors have abused them to do things they aren’t supposed to do (such as create complex homepages or special content such as parallax embeds) so a lot of buyers expect them.

The featured image styles are an exclusive no-shortcode feature that I was the first author to introduce to Themeforest. You can see how easy it is to use by watching this video demo of it in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcTbF5qCQls

The theme does come with some shortcodes, and they are only included because some users insist on wanting them, you can see a list of them here: http://docs.cubellthemes.com/15zine/#!/cubell_shortcodes

The dropcap option is one common feature that I didn’t add as a shortcode, and instead it is an option inside each post, so no ugly shortcodes that spill over to the RSS feed or social media shares, and if you change theme, no need to edit all posts to update the dropcap.

2- No, the 15Zine homepage builder was created exclusively for 15Zine and it does not use/need shortcodes either. However, one of the modules is called “custom code” module, where you can insert shortcodes from plugins or similar if you needed to execute a shortcode somewhere in the homepage.

If you change theme, your homepage will simply become a blank page.

3- The theme comes with an integrated lightbox, you can see what it looks like by clicking on the image embed in this post: http://15zine.cubellthemes.com/videogames/nintendo-wii/video-format-a/ but you can turn it off in the theme options and install your own if you wished to do that.

I hope this answers everything and thanks again!

Cubell

Cubell,
Is there a way to put the social icons on the Top Menu bar?

Got it! Forgot to check the feed first :)

No problemo ;)

Hi, Cubell. I’ve made several changes to the code of some pages/files and now I would like to upgrade to a newer version of the template. How do I do it with less pain?

Hey BeatCheat,

The truth is, if you edited the normal theme files (I.e. not through a child-theme), then when you update the theme you will lose those customizations. If they are small customizations, I’d recommend making notes of them (or copy/pasting the code into notepad) and then re-applying it to the new update.

Cubell

Love the theme! Just a quick question, is there anyway I can disable the gravatar and only keep the profile icon (that shows when you aren’t logged in) ?

If I log in (with the gravatar option turned off in settings) The icon vanishes on mobile phones.

Hey again,

Sorry but I’m still slightly confused by what you are trying to do. Do you mean you want mobile login icon to stay as it is, but on desktop, make it so it only shows the gravatar image if a user is logged in so instead of “Gravatar + Admin name” you just want “Gravatar”?

I am planning on adding an option to control how many sliders to show on the sliders shown on a “latest posts” style homepage. As if you add a grid slider of 3 in the pagebuilder, you do have the option already to set it to only show 3 posts (so it becomes a static grid of 3). Until then, i’m afraid it is quite a complicated customization (you need to change code to make the pagination and the offset reflect the changes you made) and it goes well beyond the scope of my free support policy!

Cubell

No problem i’ll wait for the update. And yes, to the first bit, I want the icon that you see (when you aren’t logged in) to not be replaced by an image/gravatar upon logging in. Can that be done?

That isn’t possible without customizing the code in core.php I’m afraid! I can point out what code it is if you open a ticket at http://support.cubellthemes.com

Cubell

Hi Cubell,

Hope you’re having a good day.

On my homepage I have chosen to display “Blog Style G” with featured post style “Grid 5”

I just have a small bug with this layout combination.

If you take a look at my website and scroll right to the bottom of the blog posts on the homepage:

http://www.propapandatv.com/

You will see that there is some dead space, with room for a blog post, just above the load more button. I can’t seem to get rid of this space, no matter what configuration I select. Is there a way to get rid of this space?

Let me know mate.

Thanks a lot!

Hey Allsopp,

I am good thanks, hope you are too :)

Ah that is because you are probably set to show 10 posts at a time. This is controlled by WordPress. Go to Settings -> Reading and change the 10 to something like 12, so that it looks even on all blog styles.

Hope this helps.

Cubell

Hi Cubell,

Great theme. As usual.

Quick question: How can I change the post font size?

Also, is there some way to change the font for the headings from one side, and the one for the Main Menu from the other, assigning two different fonts to each?

Thanks in advance ;)

Ah I see! For that excerpt, you would target it with:

.cb-module-block .cb-excerpt { font-size: 14px; }

And adjust the font size to your desired value.

Hope this helps :)

Cubell

Works wonders! Thanks ;)

No problemo ;)

Hi there, after some days “playing” I felt in love with this theme. However, please allow providing short feedback on two things that came up:

1. If viewing the theme RTL (I used the RTL-tester plugin) the ajax login appears to be mis-placed (not a big thing, but something you might want to fix in an upcoming release) 2. Though the page builder is very intuitive and I am a fan of having complex things in a separate plugin to avoid theme lock but also for being able to extend it to my need. It would be much appreciated if you documentation would show a section on how to move that functionality into an own plugin and maybe even on how to extend it

Off-Topic: OptionTree is cool staff but as you might figured out, there is a lot going on and keeping OT up2date easily keeps you busy :) Do you plan to rely on OT in the future or are you maybe planning moving to native ThemeCustomizer (it really got a lot better with the past updates)?

Hey Ipwob,

Thanks for choosing 15Zine and for the kind words :)

1- There are users who have RTL sites they haven’t reported that yet, but it may be because your RTL plugin isn’t a true RTL setup, if you have a RTL site and it happens, definitely send me the URL and i’ll take a look, if it is happening it’ll definitely be a simple CSS tweak to fix it.

2- All the modules from the pagebuilder output automated data (posts), and the only user input really is the title of each module, so there isn’t any theme lock issues. As if you ever change theme, you will end up creating a new homepage completely using that theme’s homepage building system which would work completely different to 15Zine’s, but the content they could output would be the same.

Regarding OptionTree, I definitely do plan on moving to WordPress customizer eventually, but right this second, I still don’t believe it is good/powerful enough to replace something like OptionTree quite yet :)

Cubell

Hi there!

So, I’ve built the entire Home Page via 15Zine Drag & Drop builder and I’ve also activated the section with latest global posts + pagination. My question is: can I somehow edit the categories which I want to be displayed in the latest global posts? Also, when will the Load More button be available? It would be a great addition to the website instead of clicking on numbers (pages)

You can view the website here: http://new.clubber.rs

Thanks, Dorian

Hey Dorian,

It’s no problem, I’m happy to help :)

I definitely want to add more pagination and offset options to that block. And I also will be adding more controls for fonts in future updates.

Regarding the translation, did you follow the translation steps from the documentation? That is the best way to translate the theme into any language.

Cubell

Yes, I’ve checked it and the documentation needs to be updated due to recent Wordpress changes. So, for anyone reading this and having issues with the translation, you need to use $locale=’es_ES’; (or de_DE, depends on the language) instead of define (‘WPLANG’, ‘es_ES’); in the wp-config.php

Ah I see!

And after some more research, it’s actually even easier than that! You simply go to Settings -> General, and since WordPress 4.0 there is a main option to set the site to any language, without needing to code anything!

Hope this helps and I will be updating docs to reflect this. Thanks for letting me know!
