You could edit style-mobile.css and add a display: none for the tags/elements you wish to hide.

The thing is you need those elements to have a unique tag/id, and it would be a good idea to make this change via a child theme (some function overriding required) to make the changes stick between updates.

FIXED IT! Used this plugin http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/display-widgets/ 🙂

[Zed]

You can currently only do that with the slider. The rest of the presentation page is defined via static content.

Hello all,

I am experiencing the same issue after the last update (1.9.9.7) : none of my post featured images are displayed. The images in the content of the post are displayed normally.

Any ideas ?

Despite this, your theme is really good ! 🙂 Thank you for your work.

[Zed]

There is no automation/advanced editor regarding the Custom Text widget. You have to type in the correct HTML code that displays the image yourself (after you upload it via Media or FTP).

Or you can try this instead.

If your site does not display posts on the homepage when the presentation page is disabled, you need to make sure the posts are published and are publicly visible.

All CSS rules need to end with ;

So that would be .slider-wrapper {display:none; }

The “New Posts” sections is not a “page” per se, but a category section. Categories display the posts set to that category (and subcategories), not static content.

If you weren’t using the magazine layout, the workaround would have been to create a page using the “Category page with intro” template with the same slug “new-posts”, change the menu item to link to that page instead of the category, then add the banner to the “new-posts” page.

But the category page with intro template does not support magazine layout.

Elizabeth, if you’re by any chance using the ‘Category Page with intro’ page template, that one doesn’t display comments.  Pages, categories and posts are 3 separate things (using 3 separate templates, as far as the theme is concerned). I’m not sure from your statement what works and what doesn’t.

The header responsiveness should improve in the upcoming 1.9.9.7 update.

The slider is the backbone of the presentation page, so I don’t think there will ever be an option to hide it.

But you can easily hide it using custom CSS: .slider-wrapper { display: none; } or by editing the theme-frontpage.php file (preferably in a child theme) and comment out / delete the slider code.

Notices are not harmful (after all, they’re just notices – in this case it could be caused by using some variables that have no values set). Production servers should not display notices (your server seems to be configured as a development environments). Then you get a warning caused by the fact that those notices get displayed before all other output.

I’m not sure what “Bullit Proof Security” does, but if it’s the one enabling all the debug reporting, then you should turn that off (notices that is) for the time being.

Thanks for pointing this out, we’ll investigate to see if this is indeed an issue with the theme (we develop the theme on production servers with all debugging turned on and I did not see these messages so far). If it is indeed a theme issue, we’ll fix it by the next update. But for now it is not something critical.

This is not theme related. This is pure HTML/CSS.

Try adding display:block to your CSS code so it looks like this


.imgacc {
float:left;
margin-left:10px;
padding:0;
width: 225px;
height: 225px;
}

C11. How do I use an image for the site header and also hide the site title & description? / Why does my browser displays a dash as the site title?

a) You can set the site header to use an image in Appearance > Header. Then hide the site title and description text from Mantra Settings > Graphics, the Title and Description option.
If you’re using a (partly) transparent header image, it might be a good idea to disable the header background colour as well – Mantra Settings > Colors, leave the Header (Banner and Menu) Background Color field empty.

b) The right way is to use the option to hide the title and description instead of blanking them in WordPress settings, as you’ll be left with a functional site title in the browser window and footer of the website (instead of a stray dash “-“). The option can be found under Mantra Settings > Graphics, Title and Description – show/hide.

Okay, nevermind… Kind of answered my own question, but I swore I looked before and didn’t find this in the template files:

I am editing
theme-frontpage.php
(duh!) I swear I looked here before and thought it was pulling the whole html structure from somewhere else, but now upon further perusal I see that it is only checking if there are actual values to the variables and then if there are, it displays them. About halfway down the file it starts with

// First FrontPage Title

So, here I have added some of my own divs and am trying to add a few things, but now I just had a better idea: I think I will embed some sort of jquery slide in side tab for the block I want to display, because that would be slick and I want this to be universal… So, I suppose I might go dig around in the main index.

Hi, Really appreciate your help.  There is no affect sticky post in my post excerpt settings.    I was able to create hyperlinks by enabling html in post excerpts but obviously am still limited to the content of an excerpt in terms of what displays.  Is this because of the version of mantra I am using 1.8.6?

[Helen]

Thanks for the suggestion.  I just tried to put a sticky post.  The problem with that is that it only displayed the hyperlinked text as hyperlinks when you click on the post itself.  I really need to create a short bit of text which links to my main site at the top of my blog. I need this because my blog is outranking my site for a key search term and my blog is not currently a good landing page.  The before content widget sounds good, any idea when it will be ready?  I do need a solution now though.

[Zed]

The number of posts displayed by any category page (including when using magazine layout) is the number configured in Settings > Reading under “Blog pages show at most _ posts”

If these articles occupy less space than your sidebar(s) content, you’ll get empty space underneath.

Sorry, posted too soon — disregard

feed *does* work.  I’m just not yet able to get the rss display to work (using one of the gogiplus plugins)

[jerjer51]

Hello,

I use the theme mantra to develop the site of my association and I would like that it displays in homepage only articles of the category ” news “.

How to set up easily this configuration?

Is it possible to plan this option in a future version via the interface Mantra settings?

Thank you for your help

[Zed]

My French is quite rusty… 🙂

Do you want to display “news” posts on the standard “blog pots” homepage or in Mantra’s “presentation page”?

First off, the “Post Excerpts on Home / Archive and Category Pages” need to be set to “Excerpt” and the “Featured Images as POST Thumbnails” and “Auto Select Images From Posts” options need to be enabled.

Then this is how the theme behaves:

• on a post with featured image but no images inside, the featured image will be displayed
• on a post with featured image and more images inside, the feature image will be displayed
• on a post without featured image but with images inside, the first image from the content will be displayed
• on a post without featured image and no images inside, no image will be displayed

This way you have automatic post images (when you have images inside the post), which you can also override as you wish through the “featured image”.

So  I do not believe that this behaviour needs any change.

takes a look into the settings, there is an option…

It would also be nice if maybe we had a few options for how they displayed as well… maybe square, square with rounded corners, circle, etc.

[Zed]

I see a different behaviour on our test site: the posts pictures display just fine, but the Digg Digg floating area fails to display on category pages displaying posts with pictures.

We’ll look into this…

I used featured images for posts on my blog as well, and I did not encounter this issue after updating.

Did you test to see if this happens when all plugins are disabled? Could be an incompatibility between a plugin and the theme.

@gingerleigh I see you have fixed that probelm.

@kelly Try switching the theme. Do you still have that issue? Do you have comments enabled under WordPress dashboard >> Settings >> Discussion ?

Well if you’re using the Custom Slides option for the slider just delete all the text and title fields. If you’re using another setting add this code to the custom CSS area:


.nivo-caption {display:none;}

Hi Richard!

The simplest and easiest way ( not the most correct) would be to actually hide the slider. Add this code to the custom CSS area:


.slider-wrapper {display:none}
