Hi!

@Carol, could you be a bit more specific? What menu do you want to move to the top and why?

@Dan, if you want to remove the main menu add this to the Custom CSS area:

#access {display:none;}

That’s really a design choice. So if you like the ‘gap’ design you go with Parabola, if you like ‘filled’ design you go with Tempera or Mantra. There’s no easy way of making one look like the other.

I have the same problem, I have saved my links for different social media icons and even after saving the changes, and its says tempera has saved the changes successful, when i refresh the web, it doesnt show the links in either of the left, top and bottom, with the correct icon and link.

Thank you very much LiveKnut. That worked smooth, all right now. Have a very nice new year!! 🙂

Sorry to drag this thread up again, but I’m experiencing the hidden sub-menu problem.

Please check my website. Hovering over “Travelling” should display multiple levels of sub-menus.

If I refresh the web page but before the web page finishes loading I can “see” that the sub menus are there, but when the web page finishes loading, they’re not displaying.

I’m not an expert with CSS but when I try and google the problem, it appears that the problem is a combination of the Mantra themes and the Nextgen wordpress plugin.

Sub menus weren’t working, then I upgraded to wordpress 3.8 and then they were working. I then did some editing to the website in that I tried to add a nextgen gallery to a webpage as well as tidying up dome gallery names in Nextgen, and now the sub menus have disappeared again.

My CSS knowledge isn’t good enought o decipher the cryptic comment above mine. Can anyone advise how I can rectify the conflict between the theme and the plugin?

Hi Eva,

Unfortunately I am not the developer. I am user as you are. But it is not very difficult to change. Just just have to go onto the server and change the both particular files exactly at the position I’ve marked above.

Happy new year!!

Hi
I have the same problem on the front page. It looks different depending on wich browser your’re using. In Safari the special character appears in bold and in Firefox it is in a different font but only in the title, not the text itself. Hope you can fix this because I’m not up to changing the code yet. (Haven’t done a web site in many years so I’m a little out of practice)
Happy New Year!
Best Regards
Eva

I made a commented screenshot available:

Hope this clarifies my question

Now, seems, that I’ve fixed it so far.

1. style-frontpage.css
Fix it on the Tempera installation onto the WP server directly. The file is located in the home directory of your WP installation in $HOME/wp-content/themes/tempera/styles/. Comment out the corresponding line.

2. style.css
Do the same with this file. It is locate in $HOME/themes/tempera/.

It seems to be stable also after reconfiguring using the configuration plug-in. Save everything at a good place local on your computer when an update will be installed and you have to do it again…

Regards,
Knut

[LiveKnut]

I found the issue:
It is a matter of the international characters within the used font. Although you can change the settings formally in CSS, the font will be overtyped again in style sheet “style-frontpage.css”, see comment /* ISSUE */.

########################################
### out of style-frontpage.css – BEGIN
########################################
#front-text1 h1, #front-text2 h1{
/* ISSUE */ font-family: “Open Sans Light”;
display: block;
float: none;
margin: 0px auto;
text-align: center;
font-size: 35px;
line-height: 50px;
clear: both;
font-weight: bold; }
######################################
### out of style-frontpage.css – END
######################################

There is the same issue with the slider titles. It is in style sheet “style.css”, see comment /* ISSUE */.

################################
### out of style.css – BEGIN
################################
.nivo-caption h2 {
margin-bottom:10px;
font-size:24px;
padding:5px 10px 15px 5px;
border-bottom:1px solid #444;
font-weight:normal;
text-align:right;
/* ISSUE */ font-family:’Open Sans Light’;
}
################################
### out of style.css – END
################################

Would be great, if the developers could fix the configuration plug-in or someone could give me a hint how to fix it without fixing it again and again after reconfiguration Tempera with its configuation tool.

Happy New Years Eve,
Knut

[LiveKnut]

Hmmm…

have the same issue. Tried using alternate fonts in the css section but didn’t make it. The text which cannot be changed are Top Title and Second Title in the Extra Text section of PRESENTATION PAGE.

Yes, your theme is great!

Would be nice, if you find a solution.
Regards, LiveKnut

Hi There,

Many thanks for this great template. My question is if I create a new page and add content to the page it doesn’t display.

Please assist

Thanks

Hi

I am using Parabola on my development site – great theme – and I am quite happy to have the copyright footer displayed. I am using a large full-screen background image, centred, not tiled, fixed. I have noticed that if the user selects a page on which there is not much text, causing the copyright footer to be displayed immediately, after viewing a page with enough text on it not to cause the copyright footer to be displayed unless you scroll down far enough, the whole display including the background image lurches slightly to one side. This is a bit disconcerting/untidy. Seems not to be browser related. Is this a bug or a “feature” ?

[C. Stevenson]

Neither will work. I don’t want side bars on any other page, and I’ve used HTML tables to control width in those pages (it’s a display site with lots of graphics).

I can’t use HTML tables on the posts page, and while the magazine layout is great for preview, the issue is back again when you click on the articles to read them.

I suppose I can set each article in a table (haven’t tried), but was hoping since every other text and line manipulation was available, width might also be.

I’d also love to be able to get a banner on top of the posts page, but can’t seem to manage that, either.

[Zed]

Wordpress’ text widget supports HTML and it does not do sanitization.
If your HTML is valid, it will be displayed correctly, otherwise it will break the layout of the site (more or less).

Hi Francois

Something like this in custom CSS may work.

a.continue-reading-link {
display: none;
}

I hope this helps…

Hi

I would think the image sizing could be something to do with adding a Featured Image on your post and then adjusting its thumbnail size within Featured Image settings perhaps.
As for reducing the spacing between posts, I don’t think there are any standard settings, this is probably custom CSS where the margin is reduced as follows:

article.post, article.page {
display: block;
margin: 0 0 35px;
overflow: hidden;
padding: 0;
}

Hope this helps

Jim..

Hi

Someone the other day suggested creating and saving a menu with no pages in it, then assigning that to where you didn’t want a menu to display. It worked for me.

I hope this helps

Jim…

[Louis]

what gallery plugins and photo display plugins can I use that will not cause conflict? I want to diplay floor plans and photos but “always valid” light box cause the slider to disappear on main. When I disable it the slider returns. So I need a plugin that shows a posts photos in a light box or something similar. Thanks for you help.

[Jim]

Hi Brandi

In the meantime this custom CSS should hide the main menu.

#access {
display: none;
}

Cheers

Jim…

[Zed]

Try to use a text widget in the above (or below) content area.

If you only need to display it on the homepage, use a conditional widget plugin (or Jetpack)

You must have skipped a couple of theme versions.

Parabola 1.2.2 changelog:
– presentation page now displays latest posts by default (requested by WordPress); this can be disabled in the theme settings
– presentation page no longer overrides static page (requested by WordPress); make sure you don’t select a static page under Settings > Reading or you will no longer see the presentation page

Did you use the theme’s built-in functionality for this or did you make changes in the files?

Featured images are only displayed on excerpts, not on full posts.

For full posts, you can include the images in the posts themselves.

Hi.

I just tested Cookie Law Info with Parabola and the warning is displayed fine, including being responsive on small screens.

I couldn’t get Cookillian to display any notice, either on Parabola or on the Twenty-something themes.

I’m having the same trouble. I added the following first to the CSS in WordPress, and then I deleted it and added it in under the Miscellaneous settings for Mantra Custom CSS. I’m getting a large white space with a little grey box in the middle of it. Thanks!

/*
I added the next line to get rid of Mantra Theme’s slider. Delete to get it back for presentation page.
*/
.slider-wrapper {
display: none;
}

[Sarah]

Yes I added .slider-wrapper { display: none; } to the custom css.

You can see the problem here: http://www.gainmarketing.co.uk
The white space between the header and the columns is way too big.

[Sarah]

Yes I added .slider-wrapper { display: none; } to the custom css.

You can see the gap issue here: http://www.gainmarketing.co.uk there is too large a space between the title and the columns starting.

Not being a shop owner, I never even thought to use a carteogy page for a special/theme page. Nice!There is also a way to do this with just css. Using your same technique to output the categories where you have:$output .= ”;I altered it to$output .= ”;It takes some inspecting to see what the carteogy id is, but then in your stylesheet you could do something likeli.menu_cat_45 { display: none }Also handy for styling/highlighting certain categories differently!

[Zed]

When creating posts manually write the excerpt in the Excerpt field. It will be displayed exactly as written in (including manual HTML).
