    thank you then how do I link my posts to my blog?

  • on May 28, 2012 at 6:14 pm

    I’m trying to put borders around the featured images of posts when they’re shown under the category tab but the borders keep getting cut off & I can’t show overflow content around the image without it looking really messy. Is there any way I can just get a border to appear in the small area of image that is shown?

    Can I change the text above the feature image to be a summary of my post, and not just a beginning of sentence fragment of my post? Awesome theme, truly.

      While editing the post, in the post editor page notice there is a button on the top right of the page called “Screen options”. Click it and then check the “Excerpt” option and notice a box named “Excerpt” appeared under “Post Editor”. Write your post summary there. This will overwrite the default summary.

      You will have to open up zenon.js via ftp and remove this line:

      jQuery(‘#footer:has(.widgets ul:empty)’).hide();

      You can use “wp file manager” plugin to access that file if you dont know how to use FTP.

    hai, i’m currently using your Zenon Lite themes in my wordpress. Now, when i share my post through my facebook, it appears under the thumbnails this script:

    I love the theme, Man! Thanks. Question, i’d like the theme to look more like a website so I want to remove the post months, archive, meta menu on the right side. How do I do that?

    Thanks again!

      Did you edit the template files? your template has a broken version. Try reinstalling the theme.

    Hi there, just needed a bit of help getting your Zenon Lite theme to work if that’s ok. I am trying to get a standard blog section working on my site but cannot seem to.

    I have created a page called ‘Blog’ and in the Settings > Readings chosen that page to display my posts.

    When I hit this page, it seems to simply load the frontpage, not the blog. Is there anyway to have a seperate standard blog page with Zenon lite?

    • Towfiq I.
      on May 30, 2012 at 7:57 pm

      you can simply create a category called “blog” and then mark the posts you want to display in blog page and then assign that category to your menu. when you click the “blog” menu item, all the blog posts will be displayed.

  • on May 30, 2012 at 4:10 pm

    It seems there’s bug with the slide (WordPress latest 3.3.2, Hebrew version). I’ve created 3 slides, it only showing the last one and when clicking the number of slide – nothing happends, still shows the last slide only.

    Theme: latest Zenon lite.

  • on May 30, 2012 at 4:11 pm

    Oops, I meant 3 pictures in slide.

  • on May 31, 2012 at 12:46 am

    My blog is only showing 5 posts per page instead of 6. There is one row of 3, and one row of 2, instead of two rows of 3. Am I missing something?

    Thanks for the help, but I want to create a page that has a column and regular sidebar widgets like a normal blog. Following your method just brings up the same homepage blog excerpts. ( ie the grid of boxes )

    Hello, I was wondering how i control the metadata, title etc… for my homepage.

    I know how to for all the other pages i’ve created, but not my homepage…

    • Towfiq I.
      on June 1, 2012 at 7:18 am

      Monica you are adding the slides in the slider the wrong way. Go to Appearance> Zenon Options>Documentation to read how to setup the slider.

      And to change the font color, Go to Appearance> Editor and select “stylesheet” from right and add this line to the very bottom:

      body{color:#444444!important;}

    on June 1, 2012 at 8:35 am

    Great theme! Only thing I have a problem with, is the compatibility. Pictures posted on pages are proper viewed in Safari, but in IE and Firefox it doesn’t render. What’s wrong? Thanks!

    I had already tried that and it doesn’t work. It stays fixed :(

  • on June 1, 2012 at 9:27 pm

    really loving this theme as I’m setting up a new site — I’ve got 2 questions
    1.) so far i’ve not found how to change the max number of slides in the slider (i need more than 10)
    2.) i’d love to be able to make the text overlay on the slider to be transparent — is that possible?
    thanks again … absolutely LOVE this theme! very very classy!

    • on June 1, 2012 at 9:30 pm

      okay, disreagard #2 — i hadn’t yet even thrown images in, so didn’t see that it IS transparent … lol ..

    • Towfiq I.
      on June 1, 2012 at 9:46 pm

      Tracey its better not to use more than 5-7 slides. Because when you add lots of big images your site’s loading time increases and your users become annoyed. Users who is viewing your site with old pc may get their pc frozen…

    • on June 1, 2012 at 10:27 pm

      thanks for ur feedback — you’re probably right … i’ll see if i can’t get them to see it that way … (i did finally just find it, in options.php)

      LOVE this theme …. <3

    Is there any way to replace the top header text with a logo?

  • on June 2, 2012 at 2:38 am

    Towfiq … is there a way to make the text area displayed in the slider any smaller? (shorter)

    • Towfiq I.
      on June 2, 2012 at 9:02 am

      Try adding this to your stylesheet:

      .slider-content{width:344px!important;}
      .slider-content p{width:300px!important;}
      .slider-content h2{width:300px!important;}

    Your template is exactly what I was looking for!
    Is it possible to adjust the home page so that the featured image is from a URL rather than from an uploaded image?
    If the answer is yes, then how?

    • Towfiq I.
      on June 2, 2012 at 7:29 pm

      You want to upload images via url? You can do it when you are adding “featured image” to a post.

  • on June 2, 2012 at 5:30 pm

    Hey there. I have another question. Is it possible to change the social networks in the share line? I want to add pinterest.

  • on June 2, 2012 at 7:08 pm

    OK, figured it out. Was missing a . Still need help with adding pinterest though.

    • Towfiq I.
      on June 2, 2012 at 7:30 pm

      its not possible, Pinterest do not allow custom icons. You will have to embed their code directly into the post. or maybe try a pinterest plugin.

  • on June 2, 2012 at 8:38 pm

    I just purchased the Zenon pro template. How do I remove the text below the header image that says, just another word press site?

  • on June 3, 2012 at 2:10 am

    Thanks. Another question. Since Jetpack seems to conflict with this template what do you recommend for keeping track of blog stats? The WordPress.com stats seems to be the only one I really like.

  • on June 3, 2012 at 9:37 am

    Worked with many wordpress themes before and delighted to discover this one. It looks very clean and professional and is very easy to handle.

    I have a few questions though.
    - can you change the order of the slides?
    - how to change the font size and color of the tagline under the logo? I followed your advise posted before but that didn’t seem to work…

    Thank you!

    Btw; just upgraded to the PRO version, curious to see the extra options!

    please help me.
    I think this is about the lower internet access. But i try to upload image from my other wordpress blog, the picture can uploaded.

    But in my website, i think it’s about the editor. That’s the problem, i can’t find the way how i set the HTML.

    • Towfiq I.
      on June 4, 2012 at 6:52 pm

      There’s something wrong with your web host. WordPress are not generating thumbnails. Maybe your host has the GD Library disabled. ask them about the issue.

    I’m working on a site for a client and wanted to give her an example of how your theme would look for her site. I actually really like the theme.

    I have at least one question: Where do you change the “We Work Efficiently,” “24/7″, etc.?

    It’s probably staring me right in the face but I am feeling very dumb…

      <li class="soc_plus"><a title="Google Plus" target="_blank" href="<?php echo of_get_option('gpsoc_text'); ? rel="nofollow">>">Google Plus</a></li><?php } ?>

      And replace it with:

      1

    I need to completely remove the comments box from all pages. I’ve made the necessary edits in under Settings>Discussion, but the boxes themselves are still there. I know how to make this change in the twenty eleven theme, but I can’t figure it out in Zenon Lite. I need to eliminate the box completely.

    • on June 5, 2012 at 6:54 pm

      Nevermind. I just realized that changing those settings doesn’t update existing pages. I was able to change all of those using “Quick Edit.” Thanks again for the great theme.

    Why is there no picture box or button to add a picture like we see in the ad? This is pretty lame if there’s no picture. Very misleading. And there also are no social media buttons, which is very 1992. I ordered the upgrade but it’s a 6 hour wait for it? Not sure this is worth the headache – the template does not look like the ad.

    • Towfiq I.
      on June 6, 2012 at 7:11 am

      I guess you are talking about the slider. Please Go to Appearance> Zenon Options > Documentation to read how to setup the slider pictures.

      I just checked your site and noticed the social media icons are working fine, although you forgot to add http:// at the start of your link, thats why they are leading to a error page.

      And Just sent you the PRO version. Check your email.

    “Just to let you know your web-site looks a little bit unusual in Firefox on my computer with Linux “, and
    “The structure for your weblog is a tad off in Epiphany. Nevertheless I like your blog. I might have to use a normal web browser just to enjoy it”
    Would you please give your comment about that..

      What do you mean by unusual? can you elaborate?

    • Zia
      on June 7, 2012 at 3:06 pm

      that’s because I don’t use Linux. I’m sorry Towfiq, but those were not my comments, those came from my site visitors. For me, this theme is truly awesome. But, is this theme looks different if someone use linux and not?

    Hi – My hompage isn’t showing any of the homepage elements (slider, blocks, posts) even though I’ve created content for all of them. There’s just a big 404. Not sure what the issue is…
    Note this is the test site so the “Home” link goes to where the site will eventually live.
    Thanks.

    • Towfiq I.
      on June 7, 2012 at 5:53 pm

      Jane there’s something wrong with your permalink settings. Go to Settings> permalink and set it to default.

      Then go to Settings> Reading and select “Your Latest Posts” as your front page.

    My wp-admin was working fine yesterday while running your theme, but just tried to log in at

    http://www.benchplane.com/wp-admin

    to come up to a blank page. I haven’t messed with any of the files or theme files at all. Any idea what might be going on? Thank you!

    • Towfiq I.
      on June 7, 2012 at 6:05 pm

      Go to wp-content/themes/zenon_lite
      and remove the entire “zenon_lite” folder with a FTP application. if there’s a problem with the theme, the site will come back to normal withe default theme.

    • on June 8, 2012 at 5:31 am

      Thank you! I found out that it was one of my plugins. I renamed the plugins folder temporarily and was able to access my admin.

      Totally unrelated – do you know why I would be able to access “http://www.benchplane.com” and not just “benchplane.com”?

      Thanks!
