Initial Release
Visual Composer 4.7.4. update
ReplyDeleteCan may i ask newer version – 4.11.2.? I try to see if it works with Zinc. New wp version 4.5 – there are problems with VC (4.7.4)
Thank you for help!
Hi ainpoiz,
ReplyDeleteI’m sorry but we don’t support Zinc anymore, and we don’t plan to release an update.
So you should not update any plugins or Wordpress to the latest versions.
Visual Composer newer than 4.7.4 doesn’t work on Zinc.
Thank you for your understanding!
Kind regards,
—Ylli
Sad to hear that So then I’m open to new security risks and etc if I do not update WordPress. What would be my solutions if i want to use Zinc theme?
ReplyDeleteHi ainpoiz,
ReplyDeleteI’m really sorry but Zinc has been released on October of 2013, and we are not supporting it anymore, because we have to produce other themes and we are a very small team of 3 people.
Hope for your understanding!
Kind regards,
—Ylli
Can you provide any instructions as to how we can update Visual Composer manually to the latest version? I purchased it separately, deleted the version packaged with the theme, and installed the stand alone version but it does not seem to work properly when done that way. It seems ridiculous that a site reliant on Visual Composer can’t use the latest version.
ReplyDeleteHi debiasda,
ReplyDeleteI’m really sorry but we do not support this item anymore.
The best way is to keep the version of Visual Composer that is bundled with the theme.
Hope for your understanding!
Kind regards,
—Ylli
Good Morning. Your theme is fantastic. Is it possible that only the latest 15 tweets are shown in the twitter bar ? Many thanks and best wishes Niels
ReplyDeleteHi Niels,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your kind words.
Yes you can change this, but twitter API does not allow more than 12 tweets to be fetched.
So in case you want to fetch 12 tweets open this file: wp-content/themes/zinc/tpls/widget-tweets.php on line 16 change this code:
$tweets = get_latest_tweets($twitter_username);
to
$tweets = get_latest_tweets($twitter_username, 12);
And save the file.
This should work for you. Note that, our theme stores a cache of tweets (up to 6 hours) so it may not be immediately show 12 tweets.

Hello! How to update theme from wordpress? Now, I have 2.1.1 version installed. I want to update to the last version.
ReplyDeleteHi MyloKowalski,
ReplyDeleteThe easiest way to update our themes is if you use Envato Toolkit. On this link How to update Themes and Plugins
you can learn this easy step-by-step procedure
With new update of Zinc theme it happens that external plugins needs to be updated.
Important Note: You don’t have to buy these plugins, they come bundled with the Zinc theme
To update a specific plugin, for this example we will take “Visual Composer” here are the steps:
1. Go to Plugiins, find “WPBakery Visual Composer” plugin
2. Click “Deactivate”, after pages refreshes “Delete” the plugin in word
3. Go to Appearance > Install Plugins, find the Visual Composer plugin and start the process of Install/Activate.
4. You are done.
The same steps can be repeated for other plugin updates that are included.
Kind regards,
—Ylli

Hello Hello,
ReplyDeleteSorry I bought the wordpress theme 8 months ago but I did’nt use it. I just started to work on it but there are lots of problems and I can’t resolve this alone. If you can just answer me to this comment it will be very useful and nice.
My plug in visual composer doesn’t work at all. Your theme is based on it so if I don’t have the good plug in I will loose a lot of my time.

Hi Thanks for this great Theme.
ReplyDelete1. Is there a way to deactivate the progressive loading of blog posts while scrolling down? Meaning: I want all posts to display right away and not animate in.
2. How can i add alt attribute to the logo image. Although it has a Alt text in the media library, it does not show up in the html.. eg alt=”text”
Thanks!
