Hi there,

i am just starting with wordpress and i am looking for a responsive theme. i found yours and i like it a lot. there is just one issue with the responsivness of it.

it works fine on my phone, but i dont have a tablet to try it. anyway i did manually resize it on my pc.

if i open the browser as a full window it looks great, if i start to shrink the window it just doesnt shrink the images in the header slider of your theme until to a certain point, after that it works fine again and just minimizes everything, but from full screen (1920px) to about have of the screen size it just shrinks the website but the image of the header slider stays at the original size and it will display me a scrollbar.

this also happens, when i view a post itself. here it shows a horizontal scrollbar until i shrink it down as much that the widget bar (no matter if right or left) gets moved to the bottom, because of not enough space…

could you have a look into this. Yours is so far the best responsive layout i found. its only this little glithc

I haven’t tried this in the Misc. area of Parabola but I found this snippet that could help you.

<?php
$time = time () ;
//This line gets the current time off the server

$year= date(“Y”,$time) . “<br>”;
//This line formats it to display just the year

echo “Copyright 2002 – ” . $year;
//this line prints out the copyright date range, you need to edit 2002 to be your opening year
?>

Hello Dear Team! Thank you very much for this amazing theme! Just perfect!
I am a total newbie to WP and obviously doing something wrong – all recent updates appear in the PC version, but the responsive part on my Ipad does not display recent changes.
could you tell me what is wrong with my updates?
Thank you a lot!
Natasha

hi zed,
during my search for the bug causing the strange excerpt behavior i found out that when setting the excerpt “sticky post” to “show full”, the “featured image” will not be displayed. to make an image show, one has to place it in the text body.
is that by purpose?

I found solution with Custom Content Shortcode.

I have page homepage (CZ) and its translation welcome-to-our-website (EN)

In Extra text -> Top Title I put this code:
[loop type=”page” name=”homepage”][content field=”title”][/loop]
and
In Extra text -> Top Title I put this code:
[loop type=”page” name=”homepage”][content][/loop]

I also tried it without the loop section, because my homepage is the “homepage” page.
So I tried this code without the loop, because it should show the current page:
[content type=”page” field=”title”]
But this is WRONG, because it displays last post (no page).

[WebAdmin]

You know what Zed, you are a real dick! No one wants your Powered by text in the footer regardless of what you say and your attitude displayed here will keep me from purchasing any of your products. Your theme code is probably full of server hack code.

[Maurilio]

I fixed the bug.
Simply modified in the editor files: defaults.php.
The following lines from:

“mantra_socialsdisplay0” => “1”,
“mantra_socialsdisplay1” => “”,
“mantra_socialsdisplay2” => “”,
“mantra_socialsdisplay3” => “1”,

to:

“mantra_socialsdisplay0” => “”,
“mantra_socialsdisplay1” => “”,
“mantra_socialsdisplay2” => “”,
“mantra_socialsdisplay3” => “”,

and everything will work perfectly!

I hope I have done something to please everyone.
Hello

The homepage does not display a sidebar.

To cover other questions asked here:
– there is indeed a bug about the socials; we’ll get this fixed as soon as possible.
– exporting/importing will not fix the missing page content; the corrupt theme archive is missing (at least) content/content-page.php which handles displaying page content;

Sounds like you have a couple of issues going on, Rachel.
The theme is designed to reflow content into the space provided. If your theme columns are set wider than you can see them on your small screen, they’ll adjust to how you see them. You won’t see your site how many of your viewers will. But when you insert (embed) video, it will default to the width of the columns you’ve set in your theme. Thus, too wide for you. Embedded video has a setting for display size.

You can set your columns more narrowly so the video defaults the way you like. Or you can use a video embedding tool that gives you window size control. The TinyMCE Advanced plugin for example, gives you a bunch of new buttons for your post editing screen. One is a proper video embed tool. You can drag the corner of the video size window to your preferred size.

I’ve also come to add a direct link to the video under the embed so people with small screens like cell phones can view it more suitably.

I’m having the same problem with the social media buttons appearing in my header since updating to 2.3.3. The #sheader { visibility: hidden; } fix did work, so thanks for that! I haven’t had any problems with page content displaying correctly.

[David B]

Theres an interim fix for this under “Social media icons header bug” topic
Seems a bug in the 2.3.3 update

[Gary Oo]

Further info….

I’ve tried THREE times to edit the Social Media Settings.

I’ve “un-ticked” top right hand corner and in the footer and then save changes, but it is not saving the changes. When I view my site, the icons are in the top right hand corner and in the footer!!

I’ve also checked page source and this is what I see for content:

<div id=”content” role=”main”>
<article id=”post-3″ class=”post-3 page type-page status-publish hentry”>
<header class=”entry-header”>
<hgroup>
<h2 class=”entry-title”>About</h2>
</hgroup>
</header><!– .entry-header –>
<div class=”entry-content”>
</div><!– .entry-content –>
<footer class=”entry-meta2″>
<span class=”edit-link”>Edit</span> </footer><!– #entry-meta –>
</article><!– #post-3 –>
</div>

When I go to edit the page, all the original content is there.

So I’m clueless as to why the page contents aren’t being displayed.

[Maximus]

Actually there can be up to three H1 tags if you use the second “Extras” text, the one that displays below the columns

[Alex]

Hey,

thanks for the reply.

1. I didn’t have the idea with 2 columns, I might try that. Anyway, I guess others might eperience the same issue, so maybe it would be possible to address it in one of the next releases!? It’s nothing critical but still a bit nicer if it’s aligned the same.

2. Your solution then assumes I always use the same format. I currently have landscape as well as portrait pictures as featured images, so one of them would still be stretched. I am not too familiar with the way wordpress handles thumbnails, but maybe it would be possible to use the native thumbnails or just a part of the picture? Personally I would prefer a cropped picture about a stretched one.

I’m having the same problem with the Category Page with Intro template. When you click on [2], it loads example.com/page/2 which just displays the first page. This happens even when all plugins are disabled.

Thanks for looking into this!

[Eydie]

The site given is just a sub-domain where I try out themes for my clients. I too am having issues with getting the posts to appear on the Presentation Page. I have it enabled for 3 posts. http://askeydie.com/themetryout/

Thanks, Eydie 🙂

[1morelia]

Hi guys, I am wondering if you can advice on:

a)how to change the position of the title/text in the slides of the presentation page.
b)is it possible to display the Site Title and Description ‘plus’ the custom logo?

Thank you for your template, it is great!

[Kay]

Hi!

I see you switched to Parabola? Are you getting the same issues with it? Could you also give us some examples, links to what exactly is not displaying?

Hi!

1. If the title is longer, the only possible way is for a line break. I would suggest you use shorter titles. You could also use 2 columns per row for the presentation page columns.

2. You can choose the dimensions for the presentation page columns in the Presentation Page columns.

Hi Marie

Maybe you could try a plugin like Ultimate Category Excluder and see if that gives you the functionality you’re looking for?

Hope that helps.

Ok, I just remove all my installed plugins, and now it is working fine.

So you can close this topic.

Thanks,
Sylvain

It would be fantastic if we could be able to have some widget custom and the some other that you could just say, are posts, selecting the ones you want each option.
The same happens with the blog (post page) that would be also fantastic if whenever you select the option in a page as: blog(post page)you could select by category, so they dont upload all the posts you have writen. If there is any way already, please let me know as I have tried to find it with no success!!!!
Thanks a million

[Keyanna]

I have the Parabola theme and I want the header to display ‘latest’ posts. When I choose this option, there is just a load screen that displays but it never loads up anything.

It worked just fine on my server but when I did on on my live site, its not working. Can you help with this asap

[Namae]

Let me elaborate. Easy one first: there is no option to set language for the “extras” text.
Secondly, both the slider and the columns only show the current language posts if they are set to display “latest posts”. That’s the correct behaviour I’m looking for, unfortunately it doesn’t work with other display options. I am particularly interested in:

– Custom slides and slides made from specific posts (or of a given category or tag, as a workaround, such as “slides”)
– Widget columns and columns made from specific posts (or of a given category or tag, such as “columns”)

Unfortunately it isn’t possible without some changes. Would you hint me on the way to implementing them as well as a multilanguage ready “Extra” text ? I could give back the code to you afterwards, if building this myself is not too time consuming.

In case you wish to know more let’s describe one of the issues, the one where Tempera’s columns and sliders are set to display “specific posts”: Tempera then just displays whatever posts we ask it to regardless of language and alternate hreflang.

Ideally, let’s say post 7 is in English and post 8 is the French version of that same article. If for some reason I wanted both post 7 and post 8 to display, I would add both of their IDs to the “specific posts” field, which is the current behaviour. But if I want only post 7 or 8 to display based on language, I would add only ONE ID, for example 7. Then, possibly thanks to Polylang and using maybe icl_get_languages(), Tempera would figure out that post 8 is the post to display when the user is French, instead of post 7. (because post 7 and 8 are alternate versions of each other and WordPress knows this)

Finally the following is a probably unrelated issue, but selecting “sticky posts” has no effect on neither the columns nor the slider. It seems to work just like “latest posts” and disregard the sticky status.

Sorry this may be adding a lot on your plate, but as I said if you hint me to what I need to change and stuff, I can get back to you with code =)

[Pixvault]

If you mean change the colour of the menu tabs, yes it is Alois.

In Colour Settings you can change the Menu background colour. If you wish to have the Menu item show in a different colour once selected add this bit of code to the Custom CSS

——–
#access a {
display: block;
color: #FFFFFF;
text-decoration: none;
padding: 0.2em 1.2em;
font-size: 14px;
———

[michelle]

Thanks for the quick answer Kay 🙂

I have taken your advice and changed the colours.

Note: in the Tempera Settings > Colour Settings > Links, the ‘general’ colours seem to over-ride the widget colour options. I had the widget link set to #ffffff, but it displays as the ‘general’ colour.

[Kay]

In the Presentation Page settings you can change the number of columns per row. There you can also change how many columns do display and how.

The are displayed but the links have the same color as the backgrounds you set for your widgets. Either change the color of the links or the background color of the widgets.

Under Tempera How do you remove the post comments from displaying on the presentation page
