Mobile menu also doesn’t display when clicking mobile menu icon.

Hi marcella,

Your CSS is added just fine within the theme. The only problem is the actual CSS you are using. I suggest you read a bit about it if you’re going to use it extensively. http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_intro.asp

For example this:

element.style {
display: none;
float: right;
text-align: right;
padding: 5px 20px 5px;
text-transform: uppercase;
font-size: 14px;}

does nothing. It’s probably copied from Firebug or something similar but it doesn’t do anything.

You also have spelling errors like ‘ffont-family’ here

h1 {text-transform:uppercase; ffont-family: ‘Cutive Mono’, serif; color: #699; font-size: 20px; }

Also, remove all media='all' text from the CSS. That pretty much ruins all the CSS. You’re just not using it right. Here’s a quick read on how to use them http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_mediatypes.asp

Good luck!

With help from Brian (Supertech from Bluehost.com) we were able to solve the settings and category problems at the same time. We created a test folder in a different c-panel location from the wp-contents folder where my site is located. We installed a new copy of WordPress (in case the old was corrupted) then uploaded in new copy of Parabola. We created a dummy post, page and category. Then we checked to see if they displayed properly–which they did. Finally, we copied the contents of the Parabola folder from the tested site into the original site Parabola folder, replacing the corrupted contents. Apparently, Parabola’s settings are stored in the database, because all my original setting were preserved when the corrupted files were replaced. I hope this is a helpful repair option even though we still don’t know what files were corrupted. We do know, however, that the problem occurred after we installed the wooCommerce plugin.

[Rick]

The settings for Parabola are somehow have become locked and my categories will no longer display post excerpts form the menu. It’s a very stubborn problem, even restoring from backup doesn’t help. Any ideas

[se80]

ok, thanks.

What about the ordered list? It still doesn’t display properly

[Fahis]

Hi,
i) On Dashboard Left Menu Go To Tempera Settings –> Presentation Page
ii) Under ‘Presentation Page Columns’ section select ‘Widget Columns’ from the drop down and set number of columns you want to display on each row. Set desired height and width
iii) On Dashboard Left Menu Go To Widgets
iv) Select Cryout Columns –> Presentation Page Columns at the bottom in the list –> Click Add widget
v) Now you can add the image and description of all columns that you would like to add

You’ve set a static page on your homepage.
Set the “Your homepage displays” option to “Your latest posts” under Settings > Reading.

WordPress has no way of knowing which links you clicked on to get to that post, so it displays the first category (alphabetically) in which the post is found.

The latter part of this statement is correct, the first part is debatable. I have this similar problem, where I have a product in WooCommerce that needs to be in a certain three categories, however, the same category is showing up in the breadcrumbs no matter the means of arriving at the product. I also needed the image of the category accessed from to display above the product description, so again I needed to determine from which category archive the product had been accessed by. Thankfully, WordPress does have a way to determine which link was used to access a page: wp_get_referer().

wp_get_referer() returns the url of, you guessed it, the referring URL. In this case, it’d be the category archive page that the user was viewing. In order to achieve my goal, I gathered an array of the categories associated with the product/post, obtained the URL of the previous page, looped through each category and checked to see if the category slug existed in the referring URL. If false, then I continued through the loop. If true, then I could persist with the rest of my code to display the specific category image instead of all three at the same time or even the wrong one. I’m about to try applying this same principle to adjusting the breadcrumbs as well. I’ll let you know what I come up with. My code is below for reference if you think it’ll help.

/**
* Add Category image above a single course view
**/
add_action( 'woocommerce_before_single_product', 'woocommerce_brand_course', 0);
function woocommerce_brand_course(){
    global $post;
    $terms = get_the_terms( $post->ID, 'product_cat' );
    $referer = wp_get_referer();
    if(!empty($terms)){
        foreach( $terms as $term){
            $referer_slug = (strpos($referer, $term->slug));

            if(!$referer_slug==false){
                
                $category_name = $term->name;
                $category_thumbnail = get_woocommerce_term_meta( $term->term_id, 'thumbnail_id', true);
                $image = wp_get_attachment_url($category_thumbnail);
                echo '<div class="cat_bundle">';
                echo '<img class="course-brand" src="'.$image.'">';
                echo '</div>';
            }
            else{ }
        }
    }
}

I have found a way to remove the ugly symbol. It’s not completely satisfactory because I would have liked to get the down chevron symbol back, but at least it works.
It’s simple: instead of a symbol, you put nothing.
So in the Tempera misc settings -> custom css, you paste this code:

#access > .menu > ul > li > a:not(:only-child) span:after {
    font-family:"Elusive";
    content: '';
    position: absolute; 
    right: 5px;
    top: 10px;
    z-index: 251;
	-moz-transition:all .2s ease-in-out;
	-o-transition:all .2s ease-in-out;
	-webkit-transition:all .2s ease-in-out;
	transition:all .2s ease-in-out;
} 

Since the content tag is empty, nothing is displayed. Probably it’s not necessary to paste all this code (it comes from the original tempera CSS), but I don’t want to mess up too much.

I’m going to raise this topic back up to surface a bug/feature…

I figured out a different way to handle captions…I simply don’t use the built-in template to display a caption, instead I use normal text within a blog to convey the narrative. You can see this technique in the past couple of posts of my blog. (link is on the left)

When I do this however, Tempura adds a horizontal line underneath a photo, creating a bottom border, which really isn’t aesthetically necessary or pleasing. There is a setting in Tempura that has another image option (Post Images Border under Graphics Settings), for some reason it does nothing when I click on it or change to another setting. Weird.

Please give a shout if any one has thoughts!

[Kim]

Bear with me, I did just now locate your explanation that Feature Images displays on excerpts only and not on full posts. Too bad. Can you please let me know if you add full posts as a feature so I can switch back to Parabola? It’s the only thing holding me back from using the terrific theme.

Thanks!
Kim

[Kim]

Can someone please assist? I’d be quite grateful. I too, am not able to get a featured image to display in a post, (in any size) in either Firefox or Chrome. Chrome at least displays something that looks like a placemark for what should be featured image, (firefox displays nothing). When I ViewSource in either the tool or the browser, I see no reference to the happily loaded image. It’s such a cool feature and I love the theme and I can’t locate any support replies to inquiries about possible bugs with Featured Images.

[Michael]

Hi,
In the theme settings I chose that front page displays a static page. As it is required to declare a page I created one with the name “home”. This page is empty because all the writing is done in: Tempera Settings >> PRESENTATION PAGE>> EXTRAS >> Text for the Presentation Page.
When I go to SEO >> Titles and Metas >> Home tab, whatever I set for “SEO Title” and “Meta Description” is ignored by Google. Bing and Yahoo ignore only the “SEO Title” and accept “Meta Description”.
Have you faced this issue or do you know what I should correct?

[Achim]

David, I am not using any child themes. Additionally I never defined any character to be displayed after the menu item either, at least not that I would know of … Nevertheless the change of the Elusive font sounds interesting. Maybe this explains as well why all the breadcrumb symbols are broken after the update.

[David]

This may be related to my post http://www.cryoutcreations.eu/forums/t/have-the-elusive-font-characters-been-moved-around

Do you have any hard coded CSS (e.g. in a child theme) that is defining what character is displayed after the menu item? I found that in successive versions this has mysteriously changed – apparently because of a change in the Elusive font that is used for symbols (which seems to me to be a very unusual thing to do if my interpretation is correct).

[DJ_KIK]

Hello to all and has all,

I use the theme Mantra, but I do not manage to find how to have a colone has right or has left when I confirm to ACTIVATE THE PAGE OF PRESENTATION(DISPLAY) and to POST(SHOW) ARTICLES ON THE PAGE OF PRESENTATION(DISPLAY) with the slide show? This option is very important for me has to set up, but to there it is or the one or is the other one: (

Thank you in advance for any help.

a.continue-reading-link {
display:inline-block;
background:transparent;
etc:etc;
}

[Reshma]

Hi, since my previous post, I changed de readmore button again, because I still wasn’t satisfied with how it looked.
I *changed the background of the box to transparent, *changed the text color to match my link colors, *changed the hover color to match the hoverlink colors.

To change box background to transparent or any other color add this code in your custom CSS:
the background is set to transparent, but you can also add the name or number of a color instead.

a.continue-reading-link {
display:inline-block;
background:transparent;
etc:etc

;
}`

To change the text color, add this code under the a.continue-reading-link code:
Instead of hex number you can also type in the name of the color i.e. green or blue etc.

a.continue-reading-link { color: #CCCCCC !important; }

To change the hover color, add this code :
Again, you can also type in the name of the color instead.

a.continue-reading-link:hover { color: #FFFFFF !important; }

I hope this will help anyone who’s struggling with the same problem.

[Gavin]

Update:

Have installed Easy Goole Fonts (https://wordpress.org/plugins/easy-google-fonts/) and paragraph content is now displaying desired fonts by using this plugin.

But this plugin doesn’t seem to change H1 through to H6.

I understand this is a seperate plugin/developer, but I thought this might be of interest.

I would still by far use the Google font options provided naturally within Tempera if only they would work.

Is it possible you can still provide a fix so I can use Google fonts within Tempera?

Thanks for your time!

[Zed]

You’ll only get that issue if you access your site from a different URL domain than the one WordPress is configured on. This is a browser security limitation and not theme-related.
See http://webfonts.info/mozilla-firefox and https://developer.mozilla.org/En/HTTP_Access_Control and http://enable-cors.org/index.html for further information.

Testing the site in WordPress’ customizer renders the same result as it is displayed through an iframe.

Make sure you always use the right URL when browsing your site or enable cross-origin resources on your server/site.

Hi,

I’m posting a possible solution to the issue regarding

Is there a way to make transparent the background of the ‘Continue Reading’ box?

It’s actually a way around changing css or coding. Because, whatever code I tried to change or add in the style css, nothing worked.
So maybe this can be a solution.

Go to: Appearance–>Tempera Settings–>Post Excerpts Settings.
Enter/Add in the continue reading field the following:

<a>your own text</a>

This will result in the “read more” link appearing as an unvisited link on your page.
You can see an example of it on my page:

http://www.shmamassage.nl/massage-informatie/vrouwen-in-de-overgang/

The read more text is not in a box, but displayed as an unvisited link.
On my page it’s the “lees meer” link (in Dutch language).

[Reshma]

Okay, I read that the notice dercribed above could be caused by a plugin, so I deactivated that plugin. Seemed to have worked, But that’s not the end of this drama…
Now I’m getting this on the about me page :

Notice: Undefined offset: 0 in /var/www/02/69/51/shmamassage.nl/www/wp-content/plugins/seo-image/seo-friendly-images.php on line 205

http://www.shmamassage.nl/over-mij/

Strange thing is, that this notice is only displayed on the about me ( “over mij” in Dutch) page!

[AndrewL]

I repeated your tutorial countless times, followed your instructions to a tee, resized my images, even copied one of your Cryout Column images to place into my Cryout Column layout, and my Page Columns STILL display in a vertical orientation. I’m after a 3 column horizontal layout.
I’ve seen others post the same issue, and as yet have not seen a definitive solution.
Please take a look at my site and provide some guidance please.
Beautiful Theme!
thanks,
Andrew L

Hi Andi

You could try adding the following code into the custom CSS area to see if it works for you. You may need to adjust the top and botton margin figures to get it precise.

.breadcrumbs {
display: block;
font-size: 0.85em;
margin-bottom: -71px;
margin-top: 86px;
position: relative;
}

I hope this helps

Jim…

[Petec]

Argh! I found it.

I have custom css code to not display the slider, but I still had the help text in the slider content windows. Removed that now and it all seems fine.

My bad

[Neal]

Okay, so I was just a little slow to notice the toggles in the Parabola settings for turning off display of those slider controls.

Carry on. Nothing more to see here 🙂

[SingWaiter]

Don’t worry, I have sorted it.

I had wordpress set the front page display a static page rather than latest posts.

Might be worth mentioning that in the FAQ’s

Cheers

[Wolfgang]

I mean you misunderstood me.
We don’t write any excerpts for out posts. So the slider takes the first few words from the article. I’m not able to customize how many words are displayed.

[Randy]

Any guesses or suggestions? I’ve viewed several other sites using Tempura and they are displaying normally in Safari so I am guessing it is a setting??

[David B]

When I set the site up in January with Mantra, the breadcrumbs were all correct.
Now breadcrumbs are wonky on the blog only.
The Blog page shows Domain >> Home (not Blog)
If I open a specific post, it shows domain >> Books >> Postname

It displays it this way if I click on the post title, a Recent posts list link, or the Continue Reading link. If I go into a category, it displays the path to that category and continues with the correct category if I open one of the posts in the Category list. If I open a post via Archives, it shows Books path above again.

Books is the name of a Page in the top menu (not adjacent) and the name of my second category, not the first.
At first I thought this may be a bug in Excerpts as I’d recently changed to using that. But when I turned that off, it didn’t change the above.

Suggestions?
