Use a header image as wide as desired (and possible) and skip the cropping step when applying it. This will make WordPress display it at its original size.

That is the presentation page – which is displayed correctly.

The slider not working though is a different story…

You need to identify which (if a) plugin is interfering with WordPress’ jQuery, brekaing it, and disable it.

The functions displaying the header contents is located in includes/theme-functions.php and is called mantra_title_and_description. It is a hooked functions (you’ll find the hook call into cryout_branding_hook below its declaration).

To customize it, you need to copy it in your child theme and rename it, unhook the original and hook the replacement in place. Then you can edit functionality.

Checking the box to enable the location in the theme settings will display socials menu in the appropriate location, but that menu needs to have content (social icons) for anything to actually become visible.

You can hide all page titles from the theme’s settings or use custom styling to hide specific page titles (as each page has an unique id which can be used).

body.page-id-THEID h1.entry-title {
    display: none;
}

Replace THEID with the numeric id of the page. Duplicate this for each page you want it to apply to.

Menus are administered from Appearance > Menus. If you don’t have a menu defined and assigned to the Main Navigation area, the theme will display WordPress’ automatically generated (alphabetically arranged) pages menu.

The read more buttons displayed there are generated and styled by WooCommerce, not the theme.

I have to be a little bit clearer.

If I use a ‘featured image’, it shows up on both posts.
I mean this feature in the settings: AUTO SELECT IMAGES FROM POSTS – it only displays that image in the first post on the main page as a thumbnail, and not in the second post.

I have currently set all the posts to have a featured image, so I have partially dealt with the problem by circumventing it. Except for the currently latest post (The Idea of Communism (Introduction)), the featured image is smaller than others, not sure why…

Thanks for your response.

Fluida uses WordPress’ way of displaying social icons – using a dedicated menu. Do you have a social menu created and assigned to the social menu area?
The theme creates a sample social menu on activation that you can start with.

The slider does not impose size restrictions on the displayed images. You should set up your slides to have images of the same size (preferably the same size configured in the settings).

If using post generated slides, the theme registers the correct crop size (so make sure to regenerate thumbnails if using previously uploaded images).

The breadcrumbs are generated by WordPress (or WooCommerce on its sections).

Perhaps this topic provides useful information.

I assume you don’t use the presentation page columns. If that is true, use this custom styling:
body #front-columns-box { display: none; }

The featured image height is configurable in the theme’s settings. Its viewable width is variable depending on screen size and up to the configured site width divided by the number of content columns minus the sidebar(s) width(s).
As a result, it would need to either get cropped or be displayed with spaces to the left/right (spaces that would vary through screen sizes). For cosmetic reasons we chose the cropping option.

Does the slider plugin you will be using provide usage instructions? You should follow those.

Otherwise, the plugin should provide a shortcode (with a syntax that you need to find or figure out) which can be placed in any content area (page, post, text widget, theme extra field) to display the slider in that area.

The plugin will provide the functionality for setting up, configuring the slider.

I’m a big fan of Cryout creations themes and the flexibility in layout they offer. The one minor nuisance for me is that I’m used to themes that display the featured image inside the post or page. The right way to use theme themes from the start is to simply put the desired image in the post and then set the theme to auto select the featured image from the post. But what if you didn’t build the site that way from the start?

I just switched a site with a lot of content that relies on featured images in posts to Parabola, and I thought I’d have to make a child theme to show the featured images, but decided to look for a plugin first. Voila! This plugin works great: Featured Image in Content. Hope others find it useful.

The sidebar menu does not yet support displaying submenu items. We’ll try to add this in a future update.

Sticky posts are not counted by WordPress’ database query engine. This is not something the theme has control over. We can only include or exclude sticky posts altogether from results.

The theme will always display the the number of posts configured and all sticky posts.

Yes, the size of images is ok and if I change the order of posts or ID´s – for example the previous 3rd position ID to 1st position, then it is displaying it and does not display the one was displayed before on 1st position and moved to 3rd.

[Zed]

You currently have the presentation page enabled. If you want do display posts below the presentation page contents, enable that in theme settings. Otherwise, create a separate page to hold your posts and assign it the theme’s Blog page template.

@Eriq, the theme does not use RevSlider, the theme is not bundled with RevSlider and it is not really the theme’s task to support (?) RevSlider. How and where you decide to include a slider in your site content is up to you (not the theme).

If you want to display content before the page itself that spans the full with of the content area plus sidebar, you can place widgets in the Above Content Widget Area.

Modifying theme files is not recommended as you will lose any changes on the next update (this could also be what happened when you updated before and lost the slider).

@Kent, that change is explained in the Tempera 1.4(.0.1) sticky post in the forum.

Jens, is the plugin installed and active? What does it say on its about page (Appearance > Cryout Serious Theme Settings)?

What does the theme’s settings page (Appearance > Mantra Settings) display? Could you test with a different browser (to rule out caching issues)?

I think I just figured out a temporary fix. I had to manually edit the header.php file and added php code to get the slider to display (<?php putRevSlider(“HomeSlider”,”homepage”) ?>) again. But I technically shouldn’t have had to do this however, since it wasn’t necessary before. And shouldn’t the theme natively support revslider?

It’s appearing now since editing the header file, but this issue appears to be a bug nonetheless…

[Eriq]

Sorry, I didn’t receive email notification that you had responded.

I am using revslider and it was part of the header, I very sure. I don’t think it was part of the page content since I never had to use shortcode to make the slider appear before.

I thought that manually adding revslider shortcode into the page (at top) would fix the issue, but the slider doesn’t display full-width and above the sidebar. Instead, the sidebar is on the right of the slider now. Before, the slider appeared ABOVE it, and was full-width (I know I kind of repeated myself. just trying to make it clear).

So I just removed the revslider shortcode. How do we fix the slider to make it appear as part of the header again?

(sorry if this double posts – first update didn’t seem to post)

I am adding additional info hoping to clarify my issue and get a reply so I can update the client.

before updating WordPress to version 4.2.2 and the template to version 1.4.0.1, YouTube videos displayed on the Presentation page via an entry on the extra text section using this code`[video src="https://youtu.be/Z9ae-tmuQa0"]

After updating (Feb 24) both WordPress and the Tempura template, the video will not display in Firefox.

I appreciate the complexity of the presentation page ‘offers’ more opportunity to have things display differently on different browsers. For example, in Windows, you can use relative links for the sliders on the presentation page; but, they don’t render properly in Safari and require an absolute link to display. I am curious if there is something malformed in the code referenced above that now makes it not work for Firefox?

Thank you in advance, -Rick

[Rick Richbourg]

The client is starting to inquire more forcefully about why the video is not working on the presentation page in Firefox. Let me try and clarify.

Let me state that until the site was update to the current version of WordPress (4.4.2) and updated the theme to version 1.4.0.1, YouTube videos played on the presentation page of theme just fine (using the code in referenced in the post above). After the updates, youtube videos no longer play on the presentation page in Firefox!

I appreciate that the complexity in the presentation page multiplies the chances for things to display differently on each browser. I also understand that it interacts with different browsers in different ways. For example, I have discovered that on windows the sliders can be called via a relative link; but, in Safari, they must be explicitly called. Obviously, to correct that issue I just use explicit links and every thing works as expected. I am looking for some sort of work around to allow the YouTube video’s to be displayed on the presentation page. If there is something malformed about the code below, please let me know 😉

I installed the theme and no social icons appear like in the demo theme. In the Verbosa customization menu, under Social Icons, there are only 3 check boxes:

Display above Site Title
Display below Site Title
Display at the bottom of the sidebar

I do not see any area to enter the URLs for social networks like the other themes of yours I have used. Is something not working, or am I looking in the wrong place?

The top bar holds the top menu area. Create a menu and assign it to that position and it will be displayed there.

The search boxes are both part of menus and are only displayed if menus exist in the appropriate areas.
