Zionn Wordpress Theme 1.1
[ Downloaded 1221 times | 155.71 KB ]
To make your blog looks better, you need to include a manual excerpt for every post (like my blog). You can add that while editing or adding new post. You can, however, leave your excerpt empty and wordpress will automatically make an excerpt for you, but all HTML tags would be auto removed.
Post Thumbnail is a square image of size 125 x 125 pixels, shown at blog index, related posts and search.
Post Image is an image of size 550 x 190 pixels, shown at single post page, below the post title.
To beautify your blog, try to include post thumbnails for every post (if possible).
In most cases, not all your featured posts are in the same category. You can create a new category (let’s say I called it : Featured) and choose it as the “Featured Category” at the theme option page.
Step-by-step guide to activate Featured Gallery
Some users reported that WP-PageNavi plugin causes the sidebar and footer to be missing. If you have WP-PageNavi plugin installed, you should either deactivate the plugin or remove the built-in WP-PageNavi plugin to avoid conflict.

If you have problem when using the themes, support is available at no cost at the support forum (not at this page anymore). If you need some tweaking or want to add features, please contact me. *Depending on the matter, you might need to buy me a cup of coffee or 3.

Outstanding.
I really like this theme, but I am also an advocate of not having to put “Read More” under a post and all that. Call me lazy lol
.-= Carrie´s last blog ..BACONZILLA Part II =-.
You did it again Zen!
Awesome grunge style, yet simple. Very professional. I really like it (Y)
So tired of fooling with various types of content plugins. So glad to have found ZenVerse. Beautifully formatted! Gray-tones make colors pop! Up-to-date features!
I have installed Zionn on my site. It seems to be problem-free! Well, FeedBurner email subscription doesn’t work, but I think you indicated you take care of that from your end – you may get to it Monday.
Although I’m re-orienting myself to use fewer plugins, I did try to use the Content Posts Widget in the sidebar. It wasn’t accepted. The out-of-the-box WP widgets seem to work fine. Have you purposely limited the use of plugins in your themes?
One suggestion: Although I love the dark, wide headers, some custom logos look better on lighter backgrounds (like my bee logo, which has black in it) – maybe you could offer a header background with slightly lighter shading in the middle.
Thanks for your wonderful work (I don’t believe you’re only 18!) I eagerly look forward to the new themes you are developing.
All the Best!

@alaJoAnn, thanks.
Regarding the FeedBurner email subscription, it works for me. Where you get the problem?
No I did not and actually “cannot” limit the number of plugins used.
Thanks Laurence Flynn, Carrie and William!
I like this themes, thanks for share
I am playing around with the Zionn theme – I just can’t figure out how to increase the speed of the featured content. It is fine as default, but I wanted to cut about 2 seconds off and make the slides flip faster through the content.
Can you assist in finding the location to change it?
S.
@Sman, open zionn/js/zenverse_gallery.js
Press Ctrl + F to search for “8000″, replace it with “6000″
@Sman, Thanks Zen, I have sped it up. Pretty nice theme, I now use it for my blog.
Like the theme! But how do I get it to display full posts rather than summaries? I’ve got the wordpress set to display a full post, but something in the theme is overridng it
@Julian, wordpress doesn’t have that option. What you are changing is only the feed.
This feature is not available in this theme.
@Julian, ahh ok, still like the theme I ‘ll keep it!
Ive been trying to mess around with the colors, and for some odd reason i cant change the background…
ADam, the image file for the background is located in the theme files but you need to FTP another image (or colour block, etc) and change your CSS stylesheet in the “body” to reflect the new image file.
You need to upload to the folder website/wp-content/themes/zionn/images if I remember correctly. When you change the image location of the theme, it is right at the top of the CSS Stylesheet under the “credits” when you are in the “Appearance” Tab and “Editor” function. should look something like this:
~~~~
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
background: #XXXXXX url(images/NEWIMAGEYOUUPLOADED.jpg);
background-attachment: fixed;
~~~
It is fairly easy – see my site as I have changed a fair amount of items – http://www.slowcoustic.com.
Hey, by the way anyone reading this – my “next page” colour is that bright blue and I cannot find out where to change it. I had changed it previously and now I simply cannot!
Hi! Great theme! I like Zionn a lot! But I have one question…
How can I change the background color of my posts (I don’t like how the text of my posts looks on that gray color)?…I would like to make it white, so that the text of my posts would be more visible
These are the best WordPress themes on the net!
You can change the colour in style.css. Have you looked at it?
Yeah…I have. I have changed the background color in:
/* content */
.oneblog {
.oneblog_btm,.oneblog_top {
and in some others too…but still nothing. I just can’t figure out which one changes the color of the posts’ background.
the drop down is not working for me. I made 3 categories with one as parent, then other as child and the third one as child of above child.
I mean Grandfather, then father and then son. But not working as drop down.
Can you help me out
Hi, drop-down menu is not available in this theme.
It works!!! I love this theme! You are the best!
And now…the last question, I promise… can you please tell me how can I change the color of the single posts text? I want to make it a bit darker…
PS: I already owe you 10 coffees
)
nice great themes, many thanks for you zen
I use this template in my blog but i want to create “submenu” in “Page Navigator” automatic evrywhere i create new page. How to make it.
You will have to implement the feature yourself since the drop-down is not part of the theme features.
i’m trying to create new post in the different pages i created, but i cant because the post only appears in the main page. what can i do?
great themes bro…..
You need to change the background-image in .oneblog class.
background-image:url(images/oneblog_bg.jpg);you can either remove the line above and change the background colour. Or you can edit the image using image editing software.
Thanks for the replay!
I did both. Firstly I have edited the image in Photoshop and uploaded it. But it didn’t work. It has only changed the background of the previews of posts(when you click on a category and it shows a few lines from each post).
But when you go to see the full post, its background is still gray.
Then I deleted that line with the background-image in .oneblog class and changed the color in background-color to white…but still nothing.
Ok, I thought you want to change the background of the posts in blog index. Looks like you want to change the single post.
For single post and page, the post class is .single_post. The background image is images/oneblog.gif
