After going thru the options again I found the Static Page options – solving my problem.
But now I have 2 places to specify template for the page which seems to be overkill – as I need the other one to specify the parent page

Thank you for your answer. I found my solution by putting a background-image on nivo-caption.
Now the problem is that when the screen is too small, the background-image goes under the slide.
As you can see here if you reduce your windows size : click

Do you know a solution ?
Thank you 🙂

ok I found a solution

Workaround to my quest…
Found a good plugin – https://wordpress.org/plugins/q2w3-fixed-widget/
Its simple to use. After installing it, under Appearance->Widgets, there are check boxes labelled “Fixed Widget” displayed under each widget so that each widget can be ‘fixed’ or floated separately. On our site rtfzine.org I also installed Display Widgets from https://wordpress.org/plugins/display-widgets/ which allows each page to have it’s own selection from your available widgets -or NO widgets at all displayed. This is probably an overkill workaround to our need to have a special piece of floating text appear on only one page. Using Display Widgets I’ve created a widget which is just plain text which will display a message on just one page. I did this because all the other floating element plugin I found required a unique document element ID and I don’t know how to determine Mantra element IDs. There is probably a custom CSS snippet which could be included in the Mantra Options->Miscellaneous Settings section?
If anyone can tell me now to determine the element ID or tags that Mantra’s PHP dynamically generates On-Load I would be very appreciative.
Cheers,
-Mike

Thank you for your answer Zed.

I found out friday night what was the origin of the problem.

It’s the “WP-Properties” addon that overwrite the css of a part of the frontpage, so it makes disapear this text. I totaly forgot to disable this one when I was trying your troubleshooting guide 😐

As i were away for the weekend, i couldn’t send a message saying that problem is now partially solved (in fact, when i “deactivate” (or more precisely, when i change some stuff on the presentation) the default WP-Properties’ css, there is now another problem, but only in “properties”, so i’m working on it).

[richflew]

Ignore last request – i found it under Mantra graphics settings

Hi Zed,

I am a big fan of parabola. and tempera. I just upgraded to the latest WP install WordPress 4.6.1 and found that the presentation slider doesn’t work at http://www.doubleconnect.net/. There is a white space where the slides were and the revolving circle rolling in the middle of it.

I contacted a techie at Bluehost and he could not what the problem was. We disabled the 4 plug-ins but that didn’t affect things.

Do you have any suggestions as to what might be the problem?

thanks,
mark

I found solution so my problem is solved 🙂

Kaaaaaay! I might never’ve found that – thanks SO much for the help!

Fast, effective, friendly support for your free-version users? I’m sold. You’ll have a new customer when I take this site live.

[Zed]

Previous Parabola versions used a lot of fixed font sizes for various areas – we’ve tried to improve their customization by making them relative to the configured general font size. If fonts are too large after the update, try lowering the general font size.

Menu items size can be reduced with custom styling:
#access a span { padding: 3px 8px; }

Previous theme version can be found either in WordPress’ repository (you’ll need to guess the links or browse the old tickets) or in our archive.

I found one that works quite well, not sure what makes it different. Responsive Lightbox

I found a simple way to remove this link, you can find instructions here:

Good luck and enjoy!

[Nigel]

Thank you so much for your swift and complete reply!

Yesterday we found another work around using an optimizer plugin which enabled us to change the behavior of WordPress with JavaScript, so it worked again. We will try your workaround too, since the less plugins needed the better.

The plugin we used it called ‘autoptimize’.

We have also changed some of the code to change behaviour with images on the frontpage etc, is this something you would like us to share with other users here?

I found it! There was a folder called mobile in my WordPress directory. Maybe my host created it. Anyway, I renamed it and all is well. Not a theme issue after all. Thanks

[jgcordes]

Following up on my own post. After more searching of this Forum I eventually found what I think is the answer. Our site is using the header background image, set by WordPress -> Appearance -> Header (I had not appreciated that before). This seems to resolve my problem, so that I no longer need an edited header.php file in the mantra-child directory.
Apologies for the false alarm.

WooCommerce looks for the presence of a specific line of code in the theme, otherwise it displays that message.
We have not added that line of code in the theme as we have not tested WooCommerce compatibility in depth – as such, WooCommerce’s presence in Fluida’s features on our site is by error (for now).

Did you use Fluida with WooCommerce? Have you found any issues with functionality / layout / styling?

Categories are found under Posts > Categories in the dashboard – also, categories don’t get listed in WordPress’ automatically generated menu. You should create a custom menu (see link in my signature) to properly control your menu’s content.

Fluida doesn’t (yet) include a presentation page like our other themes, so the Blog template does not have a usage scenario (if you need a different page to display your blog while assigning a static page as the homepage, that can be done with WordPress’ Reading options).

We were also asked to remove this template during the review because the reviewer found no logic for it.

Hi there!

Found out that the problem is caused by an outdated plugin (WPaudio MP3 Player 3.1). When deactivated, the menu is displayed perfectly!

Thanks anyway for the great theme!

[Vos]

Has anyone found a solution available for this problem?
I have the same problem and do not know how to fix it.

[Steph Lehmann]

Never mind. I found it. Thanks!

[Luuk]

@Lanie

Yes i had found that option but it is for number of words, i was looking for number of characters since if you have a post with a lot of long words it will show up longer than the other 2 posts in the featured snipet. but i’ll figure it out with writing intro’s.

As for the other problem, its no longer there but still showing the read more, it could have something to do with the fact the post has been imported from another site. i think it will sort itself out once i finish the layout and move to the live site!

[Ian]

UPDATE: In reading a non related FAQ question regarding colors I think I found the solution, which kind of blew me away. By simply deleting the background color code in the theme panel, the background becomes transparent, which worked for me.

Certainly a much easier approach too, than messing with the CSS.

[Jim]

Thank you! Actually just found that and was coming here to update my question. Good to know about the shortcode. That might help them in the future to not have to mess with the guts.

[Shantinath Chaudhary]

Thanks a lot Zed. I finally found the code, and removed it. Thanks so much for the help 🙂

[Sean Gough]

I have found the solution. You have to edit frontpage.php. Search for “readmore” and then edit the text below so the href contains the url you want. Only edit the text in the first set of < > i.e. <?php echo esc_url($slide[‘link’]) ?>

<div class=”readmore”>
<?php echo esc_attr($nirvana_slidereadmore) ?> <i class=”column-arrow”></i>

Edited by Zed: This is not the solution.

Hello,

although I remember that I had earlier noticed the checkbox “Keep header image aspect ratio”, I can not find it now. No idea, why!
But I found the following checkbox:
Design -> Nirvana Settings -> Kopfzeile (header) -> Kopfzeilenbild (header photo) -> Bild (photo) responsive
With “yes” my header photo including the face is not PERFECT

Thanks
Wolfgang

[Brian]

I too have the same issue as my Nirvana settings are no longer available. Now, I lost these settings on one of my other websites and found the updated versions of WordPress and Nirvana are not compatible. So I made every effort not to update my Nirvana version. Recently I tried to access the settings and found my most used site as come across the same issue. Do you have a simple fix for this issue?

Thanks you,
Brian
