Thanks Reena! I just was the same exact question and using the catagories instead of separate pages worked perfectly. So glad I found this now as I’m just building out my site. Would have been much harder to change later. 🙂

[Mark LoProto]

Actually, an even better question:

I want to create a template that simply pulls a specific category for the page. I remember doing it for Parabola, but can’t seem to find the template anymore.

This is the template coding:

<?php /*
Template Name: News Template ( Posts Page)
*/ ?>

<?php get_header(); ?>

		<section id="container" class="<?php echo nirvana_get_layout_class(); ?>">
			<div id="content" role="main">
			<?php cryout_before_content_hook(); ?>
	

	<?php 
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$the_query = new WP_Query( 'post_status=publish&orderby=date&order=desc&posts_per_page='.get_option('posts_per_page').'&paged=' . $paged);?>

		<?php if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : 

				 /* Start the Loop */ 
				 while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); 
					 global $more; $more=0; 
					 get_template_part( 'content/content', get_post_format() ); 

				 endwhile; 

				if($nirvana_pagination=="Enable") nirvana_pagination($the_query->max_num_pages); else nirvana_content_nav( 'nav-below' );

			 else : ?>

				<article id="post-0" class="post no-results not-found">
					<header class="entry-header">
						<h1 class="entry-title"><?php _e( 'Nothing Found', 'nirvana' ); ?></h1>
					</header><!-- .entry-header -->

					<div class="entry-content">
						<p><?php _e( 'Apologies, but no results were found for the requested archive. Perhaps searching will help find a related post.', 'nirvana' ); ?></p>
						<?php get_search_form(); ?>
					</div><!-- .entry-content -->
				</article><!-- #post-0 -->

			<?php endif; ?>

			<?php cryout_after_content_hook(); ?>
			</div><!-- #content -->
	<?php nirvana_get_sidebar(); ?>
		</section><!-- #container -->

<?php get_footer(); ?>

Hi,
I have the same issue when I check my website on my mobile and tap menu It redirects to a search page saying not found, tap again and see the menu briefly before it disappears. Any ideas on how I rectify?
Many Thanks

Mark

I found the same incompatibility with Spider Event Calendar, it mess up all colors and it is impossible to changes.
Only deleting all plugins the situation went back.
Lot of work for nothing.
Suggestions for some calendare/events plugin?

[Nancy]

Found it and it WAS right in front of me all the time! I kept looking in the Tempera settings when it was actually in the WordPress settings instead.

[Antje]

I had the same problem and found this solution:
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-from-specific-category-on-presentation-page

It’s for Mantra, but I had no trouble at all making it work with Nirvana.

[Kay]

I see that you’ve found the settings after all. Good job and good luck!

Found the plugin that was causing the problem. BWS plugin (adsense). Disabling the plugin did not help at all, deleting it (through ftp!) did though. Hope this helps.
I had a great time conversing with myself.:)

I scrolled through the forum and found this same issue with a browser force refresh as a fix. On a mac I hit Command + R and that did the trick. Note: it’s not enough to clear the cache on Firefox. I had tried that but the force refresh worked.
You may delete my posts if redundant!

[WiSch]

Hi.
I agree… nothing found to translate that button.
It’s also not included in the PO-File?
Anyone can tell us the trick?

[Adam Segev]

Yep, I have the same issue. Did you try logging in as admin, previewing the page? For me that works, but obviously it’s not helpful as users are not admins.. 🙂

I haven’t found a solution to this yet. Have you?

[David]

I’ve just found some html code that I have adapted that changes the opacity on the footer. That seems to work, but having never written anything in HTML before I have no idea what I have done. I only changed it on footer 1 but it works on footer 2 and 3 as well. Is this ok?

By the way I love this theme! Never used WordPress before, but starting to get to grips with Tempera I think.

[Rick]

Duh.. I found the answer to the second question. I just had to dig through the settings more and turn off “Magazine Layout” in Post Except settings.

I must say you have the most comprehensive set of settings in any theme I have found. I am gonna try to pry money out of our coffers to get you some cash.

However, what about the header?

[CVM]

Just as I gave up I found it. not super intuitive I must say!

It should show up under pages (it is a page right?) and be as easy to edit no? but perhaps I am missing something…

[SG]

OK, so I found the solution; you really have to edit it in the backend but not where Andreas thought but under “Beitragszusammenfassungen” (should be something like “Post summaries” in English). It is not included in the .po/.mo language files.

[Kay]

@martin Thanks a lot for the feedback and the help you provide but please don’t share unverified links of theme files.

For other users looking for older theme versions, you can always find them on WordPress.org. All of Parabola’s previous theme updates can be found and downloaded from here https://wordpress.org/themes/tempera/developers/

Hi again guys,

@Catalin Baicu Actually I am one of the theme developers 😉 And the reason we suggested a force refresh (normal refreshes don’t do the trick so you must go the Ctrl+F5 or Ctrl+R way) is because in this 1.4.0 update we’ve moved some JS files around inside the theme and browser cache may remember them somewhere else. And as you’ve seen, most other users found that the force refresh works. Also this is a local issue and other visitors on your sites would not encounter the issues you’re getting.

Anyway, first of all we’d have to ask you to disable the maintenance mode you have enabled right now so we can check the issue ourselves. Another thing would be to change themes and see if this still occurs. The issue with post images not showing really doesn’t have anything to do with this update. And a third thing to try would be to disable all plugins and check then.

@Daniel You have custom CSS code added to the theme. Your menu is absolute positioned and that doesn’t really work with responsiveness. Remove custom CSS related to the main menu’s positioning and everything should be back to normal.

I would rather recommend to install an earlier version of parabola instead downgrading wordpress. To downgrade wordpress is not a good idea at all as well as parabola theme is not good to downgrade it for security reasons but since there is a problem (a bug) with the theme, I only see this one option to downgrade parabola instead wordpress. However, since there is no support here on the website in regards to this issue from the author of the theme, I don’t see any solution but to downgrade to an earlier version. Now another problem is that an earlier version is not to be found on the website and so far on the internet as well. So….!!!

[Andie]

Hey Brian! i’ve been trying to solve the same problem. Have you found any answers?

Fingers crossed…

[Kay]

Although it may not seem like it this is more of a WordPress thing rather than a theme issue and it can get pretty complicated for a novice user.

Here are details about the WP comment_form() function http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/comment_form

Anyway, in Tempera all comment related functions are found in the /includes/theme-comments.php file. If you’re gonna try and edit anything remember to backup your files and use a child theme.

We are considering making these editable fields in a future update.

I’m glad you found a solution.
You should suggest this change to the Woocommerce team, as you’re editing plugin files to correct behaviour.
I don’t believe we can bundle other plugins’ files to our theme.

I had the same problem when moving my tempera-themed wp site from test.xyz.tld to xyz.tld, by replacing all URLs in the DB-dump. Intriguingly, when moving it from test.xyz.tld to prod.xyz.tld in the same way, it worked without problems. The reason is found on the codex-page posted by Zed above:

“Changing Your Domain Name and URLs
If you do a search and replace on your entire database to change the URLs, you can cause issues with data serialization, due to the fact that some themes and widgets store values with the length of your URL marked. When this changes, things break.”

The post names three solutions. I used the second (search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases) which worked like a charm.

[Rudrani Devi Das]

Riana, the ‘Apologies’ text will appear on your blog page before you have uploaded any blog posts. As soon as you post your first one, it disappears automatically.

I found Tempera very easy, and I had never made a wordpress website before. Then again, I took my time to explore the back end before going gung-ho into publishing anything. Quite frankly, I am still taking my time…

[Jonathon J]

WordPress has no way of knowing which links you clicked on to get to that post, so it displays the first category (alphabetically) in which the post is found.

The latter part of this statement is correct, the first part is debatable. I have this similar problem, where I have a product in WooCommerce that needs to be in a certain three categories, however, the same category is showing up in the breadcrumbs no matter the means of arriving at the product. I also needed the image of the category accessed from to display above the product description, so again I needed to determine from which category archive the product had been accessed by. Thankfully, WordPress does have a way to determine which link was used to access a page: wp_get_referer().

wp_get_referer() returns the url of, you guessed it, the referring URL. In this case, it’d be the category archive page that the user was viewing. In order to achieve my goal, I gathered an array of the categories associated with the product/post, obtained the URL of the previous page, looped through each category and checked to see if the category slug existed in the referring URL. If false, then I continued through the loop. If true, then I could persist with the rest of my code to display the specific category image instead of all three at the same time or even the wrong one. I’m about to try applying this same principle to adjusting the breadcrumbs as well. I’ll let you know what I come up with. My code is below for reference if you think it’ll help.

/**
* Add Category image above a single course view
**/
add_action( 'woocommerce_before_single_product', 'woocommerce_brand_course', 0);
function woocommerce_brand_course(){
    global $post;
    $terms = get_the_terms( $post->ID, 'product_cat' );
    $referer = wp_get_referer();
    if(!empty($terms)){
        foreach( $terms as $term){
            $referer_slug = (strpos($referer, $term->slug));

            if(!$referer_slug==false){
                
                $category_name = $term->name;
                $category_thumbnail = get_woocommerce_term_meta( $term->term_id, 'thumbnail_id', true);
                $image = wp_get_attachment_url($category_thumbnail);
                echo '<div class="cat_bundle">';
                echo '<img class="course-brand" src="'.$image.'">';
                echo '</div>';
            }
            else{ }
        }
    }
}

I have found a way to remove the ugly symbol. It’s not completely satisfactory because I would have liked to get the down chevron symbol back, but at least it works.
It’s simple: instead of a symbol, you put nothing.
So in the Tempera misc settings -> custom css, you paste this code:

#access > .menu > ul > li > a:not(:only-child) span:after {
    font-family:"Elusive";
    content: '';
    position: absolute; 
    right: 5px;
    top: 10px;
    z-index: 251;
	-moz-transition:all .2s ease-in-out;
	-o-transition:all .2s ease-in-out;
	-webkit-transition:all .2s ease-in-out;
	transition:all .2s ease-in-out;
} 

Since the content tag is empty, nothing is displayed. Probably it’s not necessary to paste all this code (it comes from the original tempera CSS), but I don’t want to mess up too much.

[Chreste]

Jason,

I have the same question as you have. Want to make the highest level of my menu structure just a title, so no link behind. Do you have a solution found already. Someone else in this forum here who can help?

[Ray Smerlin]

never mind. I’m still learning. Breadcrumbs. Found it!

[Christy]

I am having the same problem. Has anyone found a fix for this?

[Angel-Grafik]

Have you created and modified the file “header.php” for your child theme?
Had same problem and found that this line had been added in version 1.2:
header.php line 39
<a id="nav-toggle"><span>&nbsp;</span></a>

Advice:
before updating the theme, make a local backup in a folder named with the theme version via a FTP client.
Update the theme and make a local backup in a folder named with the new theme version, and compare those two with a diff prog (Diff, Meld, etc.), espacialy thoses files modified via a child theme.
Very helpfull to discover the changes made and figure out where any problems could come from…

Hope this will help 😉
