12. The Mobile menu is always displaying the Last Menu item. How to fix that?

A: You could display the word “Menu” instead of always displaying the last menu item. to achive this, open up zenon.js and replace this:

jQuery(“#topmenu ul.menu”).tinyNav();

with this:

jQuery(“#topmenu ul.menu”).tinyNav({active: ‘selected’, header: true});

 

13. I can’t see the menu in mobile. why?

jQuery(‘.social li’).hoverIntent(function(){
jQuery(this).animate({ ‘opacity’: ‘1’}, 200);
}, function(){
jQuery(this).animate({‘opacity’: ‘0.3’}, 100);
});
}
15. When a message is sent from the contact page Where do the emails go to? How do I change the email address?

A: Add this to the very bottom of your stylesheet:

#slider li img{border:none!important;}

A: The sharing feature of Jetpack plugin is causing this. to fix this, add this to your functions.php:

if ( function_exists( ‘sharing_display’ ) ) remove_filter( ‘the_excerpt’, ‘sharing_display’, 19 );

Before this:

//Post Thumbnail

  • Without this change, that you described, it would impossible to create better theme. Thanks a lot for your effort and keep it on.


  • Hi,

    Can I easily translate your theme in french ? I see that you used the _e method, but I dont saw the associated .mo/.po files.

    Thanks.


    • You can do that yourself. Read this:
      http://betterwp.net/wordpress-tips/create-pot-file-using-poedit/


    • Thanks.

      By the way, I saw some translations mistakes in your code. On page-contact.php, lines 50 and 52 ; “successfully” and “message”.

      Do you have a mail addresse ? I could send you the translations I made for french, if you want.


    • Yeah sure! love to see that. contact me through this page and I will reply to your email.


    • My mail : f2000.fr |@| gmail.com

      I get a problem with the translations : I have the two files .mo/.po named fr_FR as needed and the files are in the theme directory. But it doesn’t seems to be used by WordPress 🙁
      Do you have an idea ?


    • It finally works.
      I added the line “load_child_theme_textdomain(‘zenon’);” in the functions.php file in your theme to automatically (try to) load the translations for the current user language.


  • Hello i’ve just downloaded the free theme for wordpress on my website. But i can’t figure out how to make the same professional look like the preview on the free theme photo. Could i please get some help? The only reason i took this theme was for the slideshow and the good look.


    • go to Appearance >Zenon Options> Documentation to read how to setup the slider.


  • Hi! I also can’t get the slideshow to show up. I have used wordpress for years and am pretty good at using themes. Unfortunately, even if you enter in slides into the slideshow, nothing shows up for me.


    • Whats your site address Heidi?


  • Hi, amazing theme, works fine but I have a recurrent bug using Zenon Lite. When I set up the number of displayed articles to 6 for instance it will display 7, if I’ll set it up to 3 it will display 4, etc. Any ideas?


    • I should add: it happens when I try to display more than 3 sticky posts, I have to revert to 3 if I want to have a correct display (6 posts displayed on each page incl. 3 sticky). Also, if I change an existing post to “sticky” (when I have already 3 of them) the post remains as a ghost on page 2…


    • sounds like a wordpress issue. you should post this issue on wordpress theme forum.


  • my website is amaneelegacy.com
    can you please check why the 3 menus is gone from an iPhone in a potrait mode? (only 2 appears) works fine in horizontal mode.. but when i checked your demo site, it appears like when i was viewing from a desktop..


    • The mobile version has a different menu layout, to enable it, you will have to setup the menu from Appearance> Menus.


  • I disabled the mobile css for a while now.. how do I configure the mobile version of the menus?? I can only find primary navigation and footer navigation, but no mobile options.

    also my footer menu is not working on another site. does this have something to do with the footer.php?


    • just add the menu to the primary navigation. and the footer menu is disabled in mobile version.


  • on the pages of the website the images don’t center. so basically one side has a margin, where you can see the white background of the box and the other side doesn’t.


    • replied to your email about this issue.


  • Great theme. I like the Ajax Pagination but if there are many pages (dunno exactly), it will only show buttons of page 1-7 & last page, there is no next and previous button.
    Can you fix it ?


    • the ajax pagination is buggy, if you have more than 7 pages of posts, you shouldnt use it.


  • Firstly, thank you for such an amazing site and easy to navigate instructions. Regarding the social buttons on my home page, the links contain my site url and my social network url thus returning a 404 code. How do I manage this? In Zenon Options under Social, I have provided the information it requests. Also, the twitter feed widget in my footer is not reflecting on my site. Lastly, I’d like the top menu font to be larger. I saw an earlier post where you advise changing in css. I did to no avail. Please advise. Thank you!


    • you forgot to add http:// at the start of your links.
      and the twitter widget issue sounds like a widget issue, ask the widget developer.

      add this to your stylesheet:

      body #topmenu ul li a{font-size:18px!important;}

      then press ctrl+f5 for a hard refresh.
