I found an alternate plugin that is working. So never mind! Thanks though!

Dave, I would be interested in what you have found out; however I cannot see how to email you – your name/avatar is not a link to a profile or email.  I don’t suppose mine will be either.  Can you email me?  carolallison8  (at) gmail  (dot)  com  Thank you!!!

I see you’ve solved the footer background colour missing.

At first PIE was enabled for all page content in IE8, but we soon found out it was causing more issues with content then it solved. So we removed it step by step from various areas where it would interfere with normal website behaviour, ending up with a limited (but controllable) scope on which PIE does not cause trouble.  We don’t plan on (re)extending this.

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.

Finally figured out that those lines were not the actual problem. This thread can be closed!

For those who wonder: I looked over the page as seen by the OpenGraph Crawler and found out that the og:url was two times implemented indeed.

Hey,

Simple typing mistake, you have

background-image::url(

and it needs to only have one : background-image:url(

I also went to your site and I found another issue,
This is what you have

#header {
background-image: :url(“http:wordpressoddballexotics.xlconsultinggroup.com/wpcontent/uploads/2013/012/logo_197 282_web.jpeg”😉
background-size: 200px 60px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: top left;
}

I did some edits to make it work,

#header {
background-image: url(“http:wordpressoddballexotics.xlconsultinggroup.com/wpcontent/uploads/2013/012/logo_197 282_web.jpeg”) ;
background-size: 200px 60px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: top left;
}

I was not able to full test it as the image has since been removed or changed. But a simple lesson is coding, the ; is always at the very very end of each line. It is a “period” of code.

You should put all your code into the child theme’s functions.php file.

Note that (as I have found out the hard way) not all actions are removed properly by just using remove_action(). Also, note that Mantra has more hook functions than the ones listed in your sample code.

The safest way is to use a wrapper function:

function remove_mantra_functions() {
remove_action(...);
// insert all your remove_action calls here
}
add_action('init','remove_mantra_functions');

then use add_action() to attach your child theme function replacements.

It seems you found the way to disable the top menu.

Thanks very much for the reply.  I hope that someone has some experience with custom post  backgrounds.  I found one plugin that will work if there is no default background, at least as far as an image goes — not a background color.  I  added   custom css to mantra forcing top right position.   Since it won’t work with a default background enabled,  the presentation page will have no background and it will also require setting a background on every post. Not ideal. I wish I was more proficient with custom fields.

I found this browsing the source of your site

Blogger Template Style
Name:     Minima Black

so some files are indeed changes (or damaged).

Export your theme settings, uninstall Mantra and reinstall it, then restore your theme settings.

I was looking for the same thing and found it under the WordPress Settings, not the theme settings. It is under Settings, Reading, Blog pages show at most – I just set mine to 4 from the default of 10. Its perfect now!

[Javi]

Thanks for your answer, but i can’t found the place. When i go to mantra settings in the dashboard, and i select graphics settings, i can type more codes in the text field, but not see what are inside, i can’t edit there.

 

I’m trying to found the php file where are this codes but i don’t have lucky.

So… i’ve tried to found the line of codes in footer.php and several more files but nothing for now.

If anyone can help to solve this problem, i would be really grateful.

 

Thanks again.

I found the answer to this, albeit very strange. I was only able to disable the comments function when viewing all pages and un-checking the box in “quick edit mode”

[Will]

never mind I found it thanks

Dear all,

After some research I found a  clean and very effective solution for those not wanting to code: “Widget Logic Visual” plugin. It does the job perfectly well!
