(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

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.

Breadcrumbs are the little location map at the top of the page.

Those two links are the previous/next post navigation, which you can hide with CSS:
#nav-below { display: none; }

Paulette, I see you’ve got the presentation page back.

Marilynn, there is no error in the theme. There problem comes from one of your widgets’ content:
<iframe src="https://www.fiverr.com/anywhere/anywhere_widget/56988c626175783ba5814f00" width="190" height="75" frameBorder="0" scrolling="no">
This iframe is never closed, making the browser believe the entire right sidebar is part of the iframe and gets it displayed on the left sidebar. Correct your widget code.

You are using a static page on the homepage.
Where was your RevSlider previously displayed? Was it part of the page content?

Hi Zed
It’s saved to display in the Footer and not the header.
It doesn’t show in the Footer on the front end.

Social Media icons are set to display in the footer also, if that makes any difference.

Thanks, Zed.
Categories displays the large block above the Content block so it’s not clear to me how any Structure settings change that.

Titles seems to be the relevant one but that changes content Titles which I want.

But as mentioned, the above worked. I tested it on Archives and it works there too.

[Zed]

When adding column widgets to the columns areas, if you use Polylang (at least – I cannot test with WMPL) you have the option to display that column widget for all languages or a single language.
You can create separate widgets with the properly localized version, and set them one for each language.

We’re looking into this issue. Basically if you have a notice displayed in the dashboard it gets integrated into the theme’s accordion, in the Layout section, preventing you from accessing the actual layout settings.

Leaving Layout open and saving the theme settings will reload the page but with the Layout options now always visible. You can use this workaround until we solve this.

The theme can display between one and 4 (widget) columns below the slider.
Under those, the posts can be set to be displayed either in one or two columns.

The (widget) columns will be displayed in the same number of (configured) columns per row, so you need to use a dividable number of widgets if you want them to show properly aligned.

Adding
body #front-columns { display: none; }
to the media query you already use should do it.

The theme’s presentation page does no display a sidebar. If you use a static page, that page will follow the theme’s general site layout option.

The Posts per Row option controls how posts on the presentation page are displayed.

Other post lists (categories, archives) are controlled by the Magazine Layout option under Post Excerpt Settings.

If settings don’t take effect after changing them, check if you have any caching plugins activated or not. If yes, clear the cache or disable the plugin while you’re setting up the site.

The top and footer menus do not display sub-menu items. They are designed for one-level menus only.

Create an additional custom menu and place the services only in one of those menus (if you want them to stand out).

Unfortunately no. WordPress theme review guidelines explicitly state a theme must display the static page if set.

Since there is no official response on this, I used the following code to fix the centering problem:

/* Menu Hack */
#prime_nav {
clear:left;
float:left;
list-style:none;
margin:0;
padding:0;
position:relative;
left:50%;
text-align:center;
}
#prime_nav li {
display:block;
float:left;
list-style:none;
margin:0;
padding:0;
position:relative;
right:50%;
}

Place it at the end of your CSS file and you should be fine. Here’s an explanation of what the code does: http://matthewjamestaylor.com/blog/beautiful-css-centered-menus-no-hacks-full-cross-browser-support

You’ll also need to put this in the custom CSS area found in Tempera Settings > Miscellaneous Settings, or any dropdown ul’s box shadow will extend beyond the ul:

#access ul ul{box-shadow:none}

I don’t know if this problem was caused by me running a child theme, but I highly doubt that because my menu styling was untouched except for color mods and mobile fixes.

Hope that helps you out, Jamal (and anyone else having this problem).

P.S. I meant this problem also affected the latest version of Nirvana in my first post. XP

[David B]

Figured this one out. The tag is:

.pad-container {display: none;}

[MahaloMarlin]

We had the same trouble, but in Tempera. Zed’s post of 1/30 solved it for us. In short:

“If you have a static page set as the homepage, after the update WordPress will display that instead of the presentation page. To re-enable the presentation page, the Frontpage displays option (under Settings > Reading) need to be set to Your latest posts.”

[Zed]

The presentation page is a special purpose section and does not display the sidebar(s).

Featured images are displayed on post excerpts (when enabled). They are not displayed inside full posts or full pages as there the images can be inserted in the content directly.

Nirvana will always display latest X from all posts on the presentation page.

This is a requirement by the theme review guidelines that we have to follow to be accepted in the themes repository.

Tempera previously had a bug by which it displayed the presentation page (minus some styling) even when a static page was set as the homepage.
WordPress theme guidelines request that setting a static page takes precedence over theme settings, so we have corrected this in 1.4.0.1.

If you have a static page set as the homepage, after the update WordPress will display that instead of the presentation page. To re-enable the presentation page, the Frontpage displays option (under Settings > Reading) need to be set to Your latest posts.

Additionally, your Home menu item may also point to this static page (which was previously replaced by the presentation page). You will need to correct it to point to the correct home location.

Finally, if you were previously assigning a blog page under Reading, this functionality is no longer available after returning to Latest posts. The matter can be solved by assigning the Blog page (posts list) page template to the page you want the posts list to be displayed on.

I am closing this thread as it got too long and too confusing. If anyone is still having issues with the presentation page, please start a new thread.

For anyone having slider issues, please start your own thread and provide a link to the site.

Brian, I have answered your support questions and explained why the presentation page (and WordPress’ default homepage) are never displayed in the list of (static) pages.

The date and time are part of the meta bar. If the bar is hidden (it has an option of its own) then none of its content is displayed either.

Since no ideas were forthcoming and I wanted to get on, I domated the $25 for customer supports and about 8 hours ago I did receive an email saying: ‘Check that the theme’s presentation page in the theme’s settings (under Presentation Page Settings) is set to ‘Enabled’ and also check that WordPress Settings > Reading options are set to display Latest Posts for the homepage (and not a static page).

Setting a static page there has priority over the theme’s presentation page and is displayed instead.’

I did have the Presentation Page enabled’ but hadn’t set the WordPress Reading settings to Latest post, rather than Static Page. I altered this and saved changes but sadly, it has made no difference. I did respond to the customer suport to say I’d tried this but it didn’t work and asking if they have any more ideas. I haven’t yet heard back but as it is a .eu site, they were probably getting some much needed sleep.

However, if anyone else has any good ideas, please feel welcome to offer them as I’m stuck at the moment.

I am having the same problems. My presentation page is present but they whole layout that I created is gone. No sliders. nothing. The fixes recommended are not working. My presentation page – home page is there. But sliders and layout are all gone. when go into settings, there isn’t a section that says “reading set front page displays” And in settings it show that I have my sliders set up, it shows my photos uploaded and the headings and sub headings – but none of it displays
