The links of my mobile site have stopped working. They display in the drop down menu but any selected all take you to the homepage. Any ideas?
look carefully. its quite opposite. you can navigate to all the pages except the home page. known issue. will be fixed soon.
I asked about opening a new window in a button shortcode link. I tried target=”_blank” target=”_new” blank=”true” for whatever reason when i do this with a button it doesn’t work.
watch this tutorial:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2k2T_qt9AI
mobile.css resizes the slider so that it fits on a mobile screen which is great.
Can that effect be done for images on full-width pages so their size attributes are correct for a mobile display?
can you send me the page link where you are using the “full width page template”?
hey, i managed to delete the “numeric control” section in the css, could anybody post it here so i can get it back in?
thank you so much!
whats the problem stef?
i mistakenly deleted the paragraph in the style.css -> easy slider, that controls the numbers under the slider. i wanted to close the gap between the slider and the midrow boxes…
but now there are still numbers, but look odd. so i would like to get it back in and put display:none…
still looking for a way to close the gap btw
thanks
I have to take a look. whats your site address?
you have sent me a video on how to link i know how to write html. I know how to link text. I have tried to link it everyway possible but it doesn’t work in a shortcode button. i managed to get it to open in new window but there is then a dot that links to google. the last two on my page open in new tab but then show link to google http://www.b-linewebsitedesign.com/portfolio/
hmm… you are using the shortcode button. You will have to edit the shortcode.php file. Open up that file from “lib/includes” folder and replace this line:
with:
Hi,
I am sorry to bother you again, but there are some issues I’ve been trying to solve, but I don’t really find anything related to you theme. They are listed by importance, from most to less. Here they are:
1. Posts. I would like to remove the “Category” from the posts display, is it possible? (not the classification of the posts)
2. RSS. Is it possible to change the “Untitled”of the RSS feed into the webpage URL?
3. Posts. Is it possible to change the font size of the posts title?
Thanks in advance!
1. You can do that from Appearance> Zenon Options> Misc.
2. Sorry. Not sure how to do that.
3. Go to Appearance> Editor and select “stylesheet” from right and add this line to the very bottom:
body .single_post .postitle{font-size:30px!important;}
Great, thanks a lot! My posts look neater now!
Btw, sorry for the first question, it was really very easy to solve!
Congratulations again for your theme!
Thank you that did it with the short code button. Then blank=true or target”_blank” both work. Very Much Appreciated!
Need to know how to add side bar to page can this be done
Need Side Bar
theres already a sidebar in pages.
Hi Towfiq, im’ testing my wordpress site locally with my iPad it’s ok if i use it in a landscape display but the slider doesn’t seem to resize in a portrait display.
where could i fix that?
theres no way to fix this.
Helen, who posted here on june, has a site (http://www.chooseverbs.com/) using yout theme that does almost fit the portrait display (much better than mine) + you can zoom in whereas i can’t on mine… would you help me get this clearer
she is using an older version which doesnt support mobile.
First, I have to say I’m still thoroughly enjoying this theme. I purchased another theme before trying yours and hated it and still waiting for a refund, and as soon as I get it, I’m buying your pro version.
Second, I’m still playing with the slider and the text area and I was wondering (if it’s possible) how to change the shadow text are to a light color with black text, and make the shape a rectangle, and if there was a way to change it’s position on the slider, like maybe upper right corner or lower left corner. Something like that.
Third, (if it’s possible) how would I go about making the color of the social networking buttons all the same, like a nice gray?
And, finally fourth, lol, how can I remove all the borders from the elements on the front page (around the header, menu, slider, blocks, footer, ect)? I was doing it by changing the colors manually to just match the background color, but that’s just way too labor intensive. lol
Thank you for all the help and the quick answers. Your customer service is the reason I’m buying the pro version.
yes its possible to make the slider content background square and position them to top right/left.
And to remove the borders. Add this to your stylesheet:
#topmenu ul li ul li, .midrow_blocks, .mid_block_content, .lay1 .hentry, .lay2, .lay3 .post_image, .lay3 .post_content, .lay4 .single_metainfo, .single_post, .commentlist li, #commentform, #commentform label, .comment-form-author input, .comment-form-email input, .comment-form-url input, .comment-form-comment textarea, #sidebar .widgets .widget, #sidebar .widgets .widget li, #footer, #footer .widgets .widget ul li, #footer #wp-calendar caption, #copyright, .znn_paginate span, .znn_paginate a, .navigation a, .navigation span, #related_wrap ul, #searchform #s, .search_term, ol#controls li, #topmenu, .wp-caption { border:none!important;}
Hi!
LOVE this theme – it’s just what I’ve been looking for. Question: what’s the optimum image size for the slider? I want them all to be the same and, ideally match the full-width (no sidebar) template default size. Thank you!
width 1000px
height- 360px
Thanks so much for the image size reply . One other question: I can’t get ANY of the slider images to upload properly. I select slider/”new” in the slider option of the dashboard page, and then upload the picture. These photos are not used anywhere else on the site, only wanted in the slider. Is there a size maximum (or do there have to be multiple slides before it shows you what’s there?)
Thanks for the help! This really is an awesome theme – I’ve been hunting for months and this is the first one that does pretty much everything I want without compromises.
Sorry – unclear – I mean I TRY to upload them, it seems to be uploading, but then I get a blank upload screen and nothing shows in the “slider” section (or on the pages). All other images used on the site upload and display fine.
can you disable all the plugins and try again? sounds like a plugin issue.
Nice theme! Couple questions…
1) How come the sidebar doesn’t show up on the home or blog page but does on the about page?
2) The side widgets are using the wrong URL for the social sites because its putting my domain in front of the actual URL, how can i change this?
1) the theme is made that way.
2) not sure what you are talking about.
Hi!
I have a problem with the posts. I have now in Settings 20 posts per page and in most of them I have more than 20 posts. When this happens the page doesn’t display properly.
1. Is hard to navigate between the different post pages. In fact, the other pages are not accessible, if you click the number button it doesn’t change the page. And just for one second stays the >> arrows to change the pages, which works, but disappears after one second the page is full downloaded.
2. The right column appears at the end of the posts, not next to them.
You can check it here:

Thanks! I appreciate your help!
1. Go to Zenon Settings and disable the “Ajax pagination”
2. You made a mistake while editing the index.php

Hi, I would like to ask you how to correct my featured images in the latest posts on the home page as they are sticking out of the boxes.
Disable that click to share plugin that you installed.
Hi,
Great theme. I have installed PrettyPhotoMedia as a wordpress plugin and am wondering if it is possible to have two galleries on one page?
If so, how do you so this?
Thanks,
Michelle
Ask the plugin developer. if you are using the native wordpress gallery feature then, Yes. its possible.
Hi there.
Fantastic theme! Thank you so much.
Am using the Lite version- is there ANY way I can change the header font? Please let me know.
Awesome theme Towfiq!
One question, I’m having trouble with the social media buttons on the far left of the screen. When clicked on, they link to:
http://www.mywebsiteurl.com/www.facebook.com/myfacebook
instead of:
http://www.facebook.com/myfacebook
Do you know how to fix this?
You forgot to add http:// before your links.
haha sometimes I surprise myself with my own stupidity.
Thanks for the quick help!
I am using Zenon Lite and on the iPad it seems to limit the menu choices to 3 and the dropdown arrows appear but fail to work. Did I miss a setting?
when browsing in ipad its better to view the website in landscape mode.
I get the same limited menu and no dropdowns in both portrait and landscape.
whats your site address Alan?
MelerRealEstate.com
Please ignore the fact that I can’t tell version 1.2 from 1.9. Decided to make a new upload of the theme and it works beautifully. Thank you!
Hi Towfiqi,
I have just installed the Zenon Lite on my Blog,
When i go to the layout section of the theme I get Slider, Blocks and other six square.
Please let me know how do i configure those six square below the blocks.
And I want to configure Archives, Rss and Coments on the Footer Tab let me know how can I do it
thanks in advance
The 6 square below the blocks are your latest posts.
you can add widgets to the footer area from Appearance> Widgets
I would need to configure pages instead of latest post in the six square
Thanks
Go to Appearance> Editor and select “index.php” from right and find this line:
And add this line before it:
<?php if (is_home()) { $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1; query_posts("post_type=page&paged=$paged"); } ?>Hello, thank you for the really outstanding theme.
Is there a way to limit the User Roles so that no one below admin can edit the Slider ?
Many thanks in advance.
The slider is built with custom post type. you can change who can edit what by installing this plugin:

Hi, I am trying to change the color of links in posts on my site as they appear white on a white background so don’t appear. Have tried various codes and attempted to change colors within the stylesheet to no avail. Just links contained within posts are my issue.
Thanks
can you post a page link where your link is visible?
I am trying to figure out how to add a picture to my facebook like button, or have the like button link to my facebook page. When I like an article the like that comes up on my facebook page has no unique picture to show it has been liked? Please help thank you in advance
you should have a featured image/post image added to your post.
Thanks for the awesome theme. Is there a way to increase the font size in the topmenu? And does this theme allow me to call other Google fonts, specifically for body styles?
to increase the menu front size, Go to Appearance> Editor and select “Stylesheet” from right and add this line to the very bottom:
body #topmenu ul li a{font-size:18px!important;}
yes you can do that.
Hi Towfiq,
First of all: good theme! relax, simple, clear, enz. enz.
But Question: Why cant I go to page 2?
Thank you!
Hi Towfiq – great theme! I am building a website at lmdefense.com and had a question about having a blog. It looks like on the front page (under the squares) only the 3 or 6 most recent blog posts show up. Are the older blog posts still accessible somehow? Is it possible to add a page with the blog so all the posts show up, but not on the front page? Thanks!
you can change the number of front page posts from Settings> Reading.
you can simply category menu item to your menu from Appearance> Menus
How do I remove the option for people to leave a comment under the pages? I have looked everywhere
from all the pages/posts? or just the pages?
I’m loving the theme you made.
ONE PROBLEM. I have my slider set to 4 slides under the Zenon settings but when I open my page it has 20. How do I fix this?
Disable the “ShareDaddy” option from your jetpack plugin.
Can I set a different transition with the slider? Would I do this in the PHP? The only option I see thru the Zenon lite options is NO Slider or Easy Slider. But I don’t see an option for transitions. I would prefer a fade or something other than the sliding across (accordion, I think?) I love the Zenon Lite theme, very clean, elegant looking!
Thanks,
Susan
sorry that’s not possible,
Hey there! I was wondering if I change the color of the title since my background interferes with it. Or is there a chance I can upload a logo instead?
P.S – Amazing theme!
you cannot add image logo in lite version.
to change the color of the site title, Go to Appearance> Editor and select “stylesheet” add this line to the very bottom:
.logo h1 a{color:#fff}
Hey there! Great Theme! I’m a designer that hasn’t done much work in setting up WordPress.
My Question: I installed the theme and was hoping for a default homepage that looks like your example (http://zenonlite.towfiqi.com/). That way I can revise and design to my specs. I’m currently getting a 404 page for the home page. How/where do I set up a home page? I tried creating a new page but it doesn’t take on the attributes you’ve set specifically for the home page.
Thanks for your help!
~dave
Never Mind… I just had to deactivate and reactive the Theme
Go to Settings> Reading and set “your latest posts” as your homepage.
Is there a way to import a jpg or png to use as a Header on the front page?
adding image logo is Only possible in the PRO version.
Hi Towfiq. I am playing around with your Zenon Light template. It’s great! I have two quick questions:
1) How do I remove the little numbers under the photos on the slider on the home page?
2) Can I remove “Theme by Towfiq I.” at the bottom of each page?
Thank you so much!
Regards,
Greg
1. Add this to the very bottom of your stylesheet:
ol#controls{display:none;}
2. remove this line from footer.php:
<?php _e('Theme by', 'zenon');?> <a class="towfiq" target="_blank" href="http://www.towfiqi.com/" rel="nofollow">Towfiq I.</a>hello, congratulations for the theme! 3 questions:
1-how do I permanently rooting out and driving the “leave a comment” to all the pages and posts?
2-how do I delete all the dates?
3-how do I remove “0 comment” and the date when I pass the mouse over the post on the main page?
thank you very much!!
1. Open up single.php and page.php and remove this line:
<div class="comments_template"><?php comments_template('',true); ?></div>2 & 3. Open up layout1.php and remove these lines:
<div class="date_meta"><?php the_time('d'); ?><?php the_time('S'); ?> <?php the_time('M'); ?></div> <div class="block_comm"><?php if (!empty($post->post_password)) { ?> <?php } else { ?><div class="comments"><?php comments_popup_link( __('0</br>Comment', 'zenon'), __('1</br>Comment', 'zenon'), __('%</br>Comments', 'zenon'), '', __('Off' , 'zenon')); ?></div><?php } ?></div>Hi,
I realy like your theme. Thanks for this great work. I have some small questions:
1. I want to have the title/header of the text boxes as a link. I tried to put the HTML code for that in the text box, but the HTML code gets remove on saving. How can I make the title/header a link?
2. When I make some text in the text box a link it does not get another color like all the other links.
3. I show 6 posts on the frontpage and have less than 60 posts yet. Under the posts are this numbers for ten pages. When I click on number seven it loads and loads, but nothing happens, because there are no posts. Shouldn’t there only be 6 pages? What happens if all pages are full, how do I come to the 11th page?
4. The theme contains a contact form. How can I access this form?
Thanks a lot for your help,
Sascha
1. you will have to edit the index.php file: add links to title like this:
<a href="your link" rel="nofollow"><?php echo of_get_option('block1_text'); ?></a>2. what text box do you mean?
3. Disable “Ajax Pagination” from the theme option.
4. Go to Zenon Options> Documentation> Misc. to learn about it.
Thanks for your answer. Here my comments:
1. yes, I know this way, but than the links are hard coded in the index.php. I was looking for a way to change the code in the theme, so I can put in the links directly in the settings.
2. the same text boxes on the index page.
3. Hm, than it still shows there are 10 pages, but there are only 6. When I press on page 7 I get an 404 error, page not found.
4. Thanks, found it.
1. Sorry its not possible.
2. Add this to your stylesheet:
.midrow_block p a{color:#D73A36;}
3. Sorry, not sure why this is happening.
Hi, Great theme! Where’s the documentation for Zenon Lite?
Thanks

Hi,
I want to use a custom image as my title. how do i do it. As of now I can only type the title
Its only possible in the PRO version Nomad.
Hi!
Is it possible to change the font size in the topmenu (where all the pages are listed) ?
Please read the reply to “The Kaiser” s comment above.
Hi. I seem to have a problem showing single posts… They all show up fine on the home page as excerpts but when clicked i get a 404…
Any ideas?
The actual posts are published and show up fine with other themes…
Nevermind.. Solvet it by switching between themes..
Hi, I’m having an issue with the menubar. When I added more pages here, it is causing an error in that it ‘drags’ the entire menu bar down at the top when you scroll down the page. Any idea how to fix this? Or what is the max number of pages the menubar can have before this happens? Thanks
the menubar space is limited. the number depends on the size of each menu items. try adding your menu items as child menu.
