Parabola 1.3.4 is back in black

Well not actually in black, more like back from the darkness (of the missing updates). Apparently Parabola spent some time with Mantra in the back room (please no whistling here) and forgot how to update.

But we brought it back on track and reminded it the importance of public appearances. So here it is, the 1.3.4 update, cleaner of bugs than ever before (and yet so dirty…)

Changelog:

  • implemented initial colour fields failsafe (to add back the hashtag when lost due to poorly written plugins)
  • fixed site title incorrect responsiveness on mobile devices
  • improved handling of empty site title and/or description (will no longer display a single dash in the browser title)
  • replaced the Presentation Page’s “Nothing Found” message when there are no published posts with an explanatory placeholder message
  • improved tables responsiveness
  • improved headings responsiveness
  • improved top menu responsiveness
  • improved support for non-Wordpress content (indirectly improved handling of WooCommerce pages – together with the updated child theme)
  • added German translation
  • updated Italian translation

  1. I am using Parabola Theme for years and I updated my site to this. And modify things and stuffs for my School Website Interface but the thing is the school administrator looking for changes. I am trying to get my old Parabola Theme, the Back in Black, so I decided to save all the default codes. Accidentally I pasted the theme-hooks.php into the theme-functions.php. And then when I tried to click all and update the file. It always appears “Fatal error: Cannot redeclare cryout_header_hook() (previously declared in /home/neueduph/public_html/ad-gs/wp-content/themes/parabola/includes/theme-functions.php:15) in /home/neueduph/public_html/ad-gs/wp-content/themes/parabola/includes/theme-hooks.php on line 16″ And now I can’t log-on to my site.

    All I know is to modify things, and I don’t know how to use FTP stuffs.

    How can I possibly get back my theme? I need help. I really don’t know what to do. I can’t access everything.

  2. I am using the Parabola theme and I like it. One thing I am having trouble is, after I update the wordpress version, the customize of the theme didn’t work. I couldn’t change the header, it remains default image(rainbow colour). Is there any solution?

    Thanks.

  3. Any word on when pagination on the presentation page will be implemented. This one little thing is causing me to have to look at other themes because I need that functionality.

  4. Hello zed how can I delete the txt / or not make them visible on Parabola Themes 1.3.4 ? please help me thx

    And underneath the columns you can have 2 more text boxes that also support HTML tags and [shortcodes]. You can also choose to have just one text area or none. Deleting all text inside the appropriate input in the Parabola Settings will remove this whole text area.
    As you can see it’s really all up to you. You are free to do whatever you like.
    It’s a multi-universe of options and you are only limited by your (and our) imagination! Have fun!

  5. Hello. I have done site how I want. But when I look at this from oters computers it is not looks like I did. So when I am online in wordpress – I see good site. When I log out the template is not correct. It dosn’t see logo now, or imge not in the center but from the left. Social icones in menu (why?) and meny is not at the center, but from the left… totaly bad(((

    PS Sorry my English, in my country i didn’t find information.

  6. Hello Cryout Creations

    Great work always. I love this theme – and so do the friends that through me now have it on their website.

    But something is still missing regarding the Parabola themes social media options/settings:

    I am really MISSING an option to link to a FOURSQUARE page as all the people I make website for, has restaurants or other venues – and are using Foursqure actively in their marketing!

    So my question is really: How fast can you implement an Foursquare icon is your PARABOLA.theme?

    I am really looking forward to this.

    Best regards,

  7. Hi Zed.

    I´m having some trouble with the front page/home. All of the sudden it´s a mix between your “preview” front page (the planets etc that you guys have made) and my own images. Actually the only thing that´s mine are the animated banner on top. The rest is working fine! Any ideas?

  8. Hello, there was a request to add a pagination to Presentation Page and as far as I see, there’s nothing like that :(. I use Presentation Page as a “home” section of my site so it would be great to have all post excerpts with instant access to older ones. Right now I have to look for them in categories, instead of just clicking numbers representing older posts, beneath the new ones. Why hasn’t it been added with this update, if that was actually requested?

  9. Hey Zed,

    When I updated my Parabola theme, the Parabola settings page suddenly became unresponsive, and I was unable to change any at all theme setting…Is there something I can do to fix this?

    Ps. I have Tried in Firefox, Google Chrome and Safari, and the same problem still persists.

      1. Check your dashboard for Javascript errors. Alternatively, disable all your plugins and enable them back one by one to find out which one is causing the issue. What versions of WP/theme are you using now?

  10. Hi Zed,

    thanks for this update and the great theme.
    However there is still 1 BIG improvement missing:
    – Could you have the posts on the frontpage to float in their column?
    Now if the posts have different sizes, there is either on the left or the right column a big ugly white gap. This would make the theme perfect!
    (Although ti would be nice to have the featured image for the featured posts (in the banner) to be automatically resized an cropped if necessary. This would provide better rendering results without the need of absolutely having to generate a banner image by yourself manually for each featured post.

    keep up the good work.
    Cheers

    1. We are working on a better post stacking.
      Images are controlled by WordPress and we are not allowed to add any kind of automatic image cropping/resizing tools (due to security concerns).
