Hmmm. interesting that you can’t see a difference! Maybe they were just displaying wrong to me, but actually working fine in the published post?

Anyway, they seem to be behaving again at the moment, so I won’t worry about it too much for now, and I don’t want to take up too much more of your time since you have already been so helpful.

My main concerns now, in order for me to be able to ‘launch’ my site on my adoring public (!) are just two:

1. The speed at which the whole thing is running. I have contacted my web host, they said to ask you! Someone else said plugins might be slowing it down but I think I need all the plugins I have. I did a performance profile report which is below. As previously mentioned, I’m also worried that if it’s slow now, how much worse will it get when I add 50 more blog posts, each containing 20 photos…?

2. The thing about the posts not lining up which looks pretty bad.

Otherwise, I’m really pleased with it, I think it looks great and I do love the theme 🙂 I just want to share it now! But I don’t want to do that if it looks weird or if people are going to get bored because it takes too long to load…

Thanks again for your help.

The left sidebar menu does not display submenus. To customize its font weight you will need to use custom styling:

nav.sidebarmenu li a {
    font-weight: 700;
}

Even with the images being different sizes I notice no difference when they are displayed side-by-side at the same size:

Did you check if you have the same issue with images on a different browser and/or device?

You’ll need to add that functionality in: create a html button or link in the text, encapsulate the rest of the text in a container that is hidden by default (with CSS) and trigger that container’s appearance (with JS) when the button/link is clicked.
Text:

first part of text ....<a id="custom-read-more">Load the rest</a>
<span id="custom-rest-of-text">The rest of the text that is hidden by default</span>

CSS:
#custom-rest-of-text { display: none; }
JS:

jQuery('#custom-read-more').on( 'click', function() {
     jQuery('#custom-rest-of-text').show();
} );

I assume your caching plugin was causing the delay in settings becoming visible, as the slider is now no longer displayed (as expected).

I see the same issue in Firefox and it’s caused by your Twitter feed trying to display a 1200x1200px image at full size. Use this custom styling to force twitter feed images smaller:

#pp-afterslider .kebo-tweets .ktweet .kmedia img {
    max-width: 330px;
}

The older images appear to be loaded at their full size (1500x1000px) while the newer one are resized to 825×550 (the size they are displayed at).

Check your WordPress image settings for the configured maximul image size – also plugin can force different image sizes (just like themes – however the theme’s settings do not apply to in-post images).

Does temporarily switching to one of the default Twenty themes make the images upload at their maximum size?

Ah – my lack of clarity in my question. No, what I was trying to ask is how do I insert a “Read More” break in the “Bottom 2 Text” so that I have only the first few lines on display by default, but there is the ability for readers to get to see the full text in the “Bottom 2 Text”. It’s an attempt to hide most of the text for returning readers who aren’t interested in scrolling down, let alone reading the same text again before getting to the latest posts below. But so that first time viewers of the page can get to see the full explanation if they want more detail.

An update – I have managed to fix the slider issue (a helpful person on your twitter told me to turn off one of the Jetpack plugin selections).

BUT…
The site is still not displaying properly. On iphone the header image is stretched so it is much taller than it should be and the photo is weirdly stretched.

On computer the posts don’t all line up in neat rows, 3 posts to a row – some rows have just one or two posts in, I cannot work out why.

Please can someone help me? I really want to make my site live and start sharing it with people but I don’t want to do that until it looks right!

Thanks

If you view the source you can see that there are a number of bullet list that are not displaying.

[Fortuna Data]

Thanks for replying. There are some bullet points at the bottom of the front page that are not displaying.

I am having the same issue on my site with the icons now displaying on google chrome. Apparently they show fine in Safari so if anyone can help with this it would be greatly appreciated! website is http://www.extremeweathervideos.com/

[Zed]

Did you modify any theme files or functionality? Do you have any plugins that filter the excerpts? (you can test this out by temporarily switching to a different theme that displays excerpts).

WooCommerce looks for the presence of a specific line of code in the theme, otherwise it displays that message.
We have not added that line of code in the theme as we have not tested WooCommerce compatibility in depth – as such, WooCommerce’s presence in Fluida’s features on our site is by error (for now).

Did you use Fluida with WooCommerce? Have you found any issues with functionality / layout / styling?

You may have additional plugins that mess with your authentication status (or the server is malfunctioning or incorrectly handling browser sessions/ cookies). Is the theme’s settings page the only one with issues?

What are you trying to display on the site’s homepage? The default blog list or a static page?
Check for and choose the desired content under Settings > Reading

Since you did not mention the site URL I cannot check what your homepage is set to display, but if Nirvana behaved the same then the general settings are not correctly set:

• Settings > Reading needs to be set to Latest Posts
• The theme’s Presentation Page enabled in its own settings
• make sure you are accessing the / URL (path) when viewing your site’s homepage and not a leftover /home or /homepage menu item with unknown content.

PS: I can only get my posts to display on the blog page if I set my front page to a static page, and then I lose the presentation page. Thanks.

[barak]

Hello,

yes, I did read this article.
However I believe I have all settings correct the presentation page doesn’t display and posts display instead.

I’ve checked all recommended settings – reading set to new posts, presentation page enabled, show posts on presentation page disabled.
I’ve installed latest updates.
I tried installing Nirvana, presentation page didn’t work either.
I tried removing both templates and installing Tempera again, presentation page still doesn’t work.
Would you please help or advise?
Thanks a lot!

[Bella]

Thanks Zed. I don’t need the slider to have images that are a different size/format from the featured images in the blog posts. 16×9 aspect ratio is fine for both. The problem is that the blog posts are displaying the 16×9 images as 4×3 and stretching them to fit. How do I get them to display correctly?

[Zed]

Fluida doesn’t (yet) include a presentation page like our other themes, so the Blog template does not have a usage scenario (if you need a different page to display your blog while assigning a static page as the homepage, that can be done with WordPress’ Reading options).

We were also asked to remove this template during the review because the reviewer found no logic for it.

Sara, I am having the same problem. I had 9 column widgets set up and it was displaying 3 rows of three. Then on day all the column widgets were displayed in one column, 9 row by one. I deleted Nirvana and reinstalled it, but it will not change. The column section of the presentation page is stuck. Anyone that know how to fix this, I need to know as well. V~

Hi there!

Found out that the problem is caused by an outdated plugin (WPaudio MP3 Player 3.1). When deactivated, the menu is displayed perfectly!

Thanks anyway for the great theme!

[ret3]

I’d like this feature, too. Having an option to display the tagline in small text under the title would be ideal.

[Paul Decle]

HI,

I added test two style declarations

.nocomments
{
display:none;
}

#comments
{
display:none;
}

I added them to my child theme of Fluida but you can add CSS declarations by going to the ‘Customise’ theme settings under the Miscellaneous tab.

I hope that helps

[Zed]

Fluida does not display the tagline (it’s only used as the hint when hovering over the site title) but we’ll think about it.

WordPress creates cropped/resized thumbnails out of your featured image files (based on its and the theme’s configured options). If the configured size is landscape and cropping is enabled, the thumbnails of portrait images will also be landscape (with plenty of the image missing). If cropping is not enabled, WordPress will try to resize the original images to fit in the configured constraints (making the thumbnail very small).

Mixing portrait and landscape images for post featured images will create this kind of resize/crop/layout issues.

If you use the image post format, images are displayed full size (that’s how the image post format works).

You’ll most likely need – using a child theme – to customize the file handing the presentation page – frontpage.php to do this and add in the code to display those posts (and the appropriate styling).

Alternatively, you could search for a plugin that lets you display posts via shortcode and try placing the shortcodes in the last presentation page text area.

You can use any number of widgets in all widget areas (however they will be displayed in various layouts, depending on their content/bundled styling).
