That’s a limitation that cannot currently be changed because the presentation page does not read images from WordPress’ library (so it cannot get their attributes) but displays them directly via the URLs inputted in the settings.

Comment options are controlled globally via Settings > Discussion for posts/pages created from now on and on a per post/page basis for all posts/pages that already exist (when editing the theme). Mantra’s settings only control how forms/texts are displayed on the site, not the actual comments or commenting functionality.

The “edit” button is  a WordPress feature and is only visible to authenticated users with proper rights.

Dee, it’s normal to only see it while your dashboard is loading (slowly). Once jQuery finishes loading the message gets hidden.

It’s only a problem if it remains displayed on the page after it has completed loading.

Did you update to 2.0.3? Are you still seeing the issue?

Thanks for your effort so far!

I am still very happy with mantra and looking forward to a solution for this problem.

There is no limit for the header logo.  Make the logo as big as you want, but make sure the header height is enough for the logo to fit, otherwise you’ll only see the top part of the logo.

I did find out how to display my custom logo on mantra header, but now the problem is that it is so small that it is hard to see or read.   I think there is a maximum size for a custom logo and that is why I can’t make it bigger.  Is that correct?  I created a logo in MS paint and text in MS publisher to make the logo.

[Zed]

Are you previous posts displayed on the homepage when the presentation page is disabled?

If you enable the presentation page, you can still have a “blog page” if you edit your “Gwen’s Blog” page and set it to use  the “Blog Template (Posts Page)” template.

This is not doable via the built-in options, but can be done by manually editing the header area and placing the flash there.

But you’ll lose responsiveness, logo/title support and the ability to display social icons in the header.

This is answered in the FAQs (see my signature for the link).

Took me a minute to realize the point of the question.

You can’t easily make Mantra display more than the built-in 5 social icons at once.

I have already found a solution to the Header visibility.  I need to make the menu visible now.  I can’t find what to put in the css.  Here is what I have now:

@media print {
img#bg_image {
display: block !important;
margin: 0 auto !important;
}
#menu{                             /*this part is not working, which css tag controls the menu?*/

display: block !important;

}
}

[Zed]

Use the “Visual” mode of the editor to paste code, otherwise it will be processed by the forum and not get displayed properly.

A screenshot would be even better.

Existing comments will remain displayed. The “Comments” option hides/displays the comment form.

You’ll need to delete the comments to make them disappear.

Alternatively, body.post-212 #comments { display: none; } should hide all the comments.

First, I must say I love this theme! My latest site is the first using the Mantra theme and it is quite impressive. The only problem I have had is a similar logo issue. The header logo displays perfectly on any laptop/desktop, even when the browser window is re-sized to that of a smart phone. It also works perfectly to re-size the logo on an old droid phone and a Samsung tablet. However, on an iPhone or iPod, it displays a tiny distorted piece of the logo. On an iPad, it is fine in landscape, but the same distorted image in portrait. It would be nice to figure out this issue. Thanks for the wonderful theme!

Hi Shirley,

1. When you are adding or editing a post, look at the top right of screen.  You will notice a gray tab that says “Screen Options”.  Click on it to display a drop down menu.  There you can select the check box to display the comment section.  Once checked, scroll down while you are in the add/edit post to select comments.
2. You can change the font size of the header and description text in the Mantra settings page under the Appearance sidebar tab.  From the Mantra settings page, select “Text Settings” to modify the font and size and “Color Settings” to modify the color.
3. Are you wanting to move the Description text below the page title text?  If so, remove the description text from the settings “General Settings” tagline and add the text to the page.
4. Change the text size in the Mantra settings page “Text Settings”.
5. You will only see that when you are logged in as a registered user to the site.  Normal viewing will not see it.  If you do not want to see the toolbar when viewing the site, edit your user profile and uncheck the box for “Show toolbar when viewing site”.

I hope that helps.

There is indeed an issue with how Mantra displays thelogo/favicon in the settings page, but both the logo and the favicon should work properly in the website.

Your favicon file as defined by the url – http://simplycarriacouwebdesign.com/doyleguides/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/favicon.jpg – does not exist.

I do see an issue with your logo, but to make this even weirder, I’m seeing it in an Android tablet’s built-in browser (which is technically an unbranded Chrome).

I’ll dig this up some more and see what I come up with…

Just read that you can manually type in any HTML you want to display on the presentation page but where? Is that in the Extra Text fields or??

[Dan Ceder]

So there is no way to add a post or page on the presentation page?

Shouldn’t it be easy to just go to the WP editor section and edit the php file that includs the presentation page code? Isn’t that a easy target?

Can you hard-code it in some way?

If not then can I put some html into the Extra Text section. I need to add some text and images to the presentation page.

 

[Zed]

You will lose that change when you update Mantra the next time.

See question C24 in the FAQs for the proper way to do this.

The plugin should not format the look of its output.

Try this custom CSS:

.katb_display_widget_class h2, .katb_multiple_display_widget_class h2, .katb_display_widget_class h3, .katb_multiple_display_widget_class h3 {
margin: 0 10px 0 -10px !important;
padding: 4px 10px 4px 15px !important; }

I figured it out. Here is what I did.

1. Created a HomePage.png file and transferred to ../wp-content/themes/mantra/images/social/

2. Edited sanitize.php in ../mantra.admin/

3. Changed “Delicious” in string to “HomePage” (wasnt using Delicious)

4. Selected “HomePage” in WordPress – Appearance/Mantra Settings/Social Media Settings

That worked.

I see the comment field showing up fine on the (last front page) post: http://www.veganistry.com/out-of-chocolate-eat-granola/

There is no comment field on posts inside the category page (and the home page is also a category page, which you’ve currently set to display one post only).

There is however a “Comment / X comments / Comments closed” button for each post inside a category page, but you’ve hid that when you set the theme to hide the meta bar.

Hi Sally!

Try changing those colors using this:

1. Go to Mantra Settings
2. Go to MISCELLANEOUS SETTINGS
3. Go to Custom CSS
4. There set:
   .topmenu {color: #ddd;}
   .footermenu {color: #ddd;}
5. Instead of #ddd set the color you would like to display.

[Andrew]

Thanks Zed

Maybe I should expand the question

I have the standard POSTS page as my front page and have set Magazine Layout as true, so post get displayed side by side. When I set a featured image and some text in a post , the front page displays the image and the text starts at the top right and then flow underneath the image , I would like it to start underneath.

Thanks heaps

[Doug]

Kay,

Thank you for the reply. For clearafication where you talking about 2.0 or the next one after that.
I ask because I saw that 2.0 was release so I updated the site to it. I was still having the issue so I removed it from the main page for now but the calendar tab still deminstrates the overide.
if i change the theme it displays as expected as on my other site. http://www.executivekravmaga.com

Thanks again

[Kay]

This is an undocumented ‘feature’. There’s some extra padding that we lost along the way and we had to include it somewhere. So the header will always be 50px wider than the width displayed by the width selector.
This is not explicitly stated but the widths are correctly displayed everywhere even though they are out of sync.

Never mind. Apparently the pictures I was uploading were going into the wrong directory. I used cpanel to figure out where they should go, uploaded them there, and pointed Mantra to them. It works!!
