I have the Nirvana template loaded and i like the column feature. but I can not set the image in the columns how do I do this. In mantra I can set the columns but not in Nirvana.

Thanks Mike

In Mantra the columns are manually configured. In Nirvana the columns are widgets (or they can grab their data from posts).

We have a tutorial on how to use the widgetized presentation page columns.

Hi,

The link goes to the tutorial of another theme. I have the same issue: I set the Nirvana presentation page to show columns, gave it a title, category and 3 of the latest blogs to show, but only the title is there.

The site is private yet (I’m building it for a client) so I can’t give you a link. If needed, I can provide login details by e-mail.

Thanks in advance!

Okay, so on top it says this is also applicable to the Nirvana theme. When reading, I was startled at D. It I understand correctly, I don’t have to do anything with the widgets if I choose the option ‘latest post’ or some other automated option, right?

So why do I only see the title on the front page?

I’ll try the widgets too, but I shouldn’t be forced to, with my auto option in the settings.

The tutorial applies to Tempera, Nirvana and Parabola (since 1.7). I have amended the content to more clearly state this (as it was initially written for Tempera only).

If you’re using post-generated columns, the widgets are not used anymore. Make sure the posts that are displayed in the columns have featured images and that these images are larger than (or at least) the configured column size.

Hi,
