Based on the frontend output I guess your functions.php file lacks the needed <?php opening, making the server treat it as a text file.

You need to add the correct opening and I also suggest changing it to the code below (to ensure the parent and theme styles are applied in the optimal order):

<?php

// enqueue parent theme styling
function bravada_child_styling(){
	wp_enqueue_style( 'bravada-main', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css', array(), _CRYOUT_THEME_VERSION );  // restore parent stylesheet
	wp_enqueue_style( 'bravada-child', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css', array( 'bravada-main' ), date('YmdHis', filemtime( get_stylesheet_directory() . '/style.css' ) ) ); 		// enqueue child stylesheet
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'bravada_child_styling' );

// add extra code below

Hi, my issue is not the HEADER image. My issue is the “Featured Image” does not show up on the blogpost page in Esotera Theme. “Featured Image” is inserted in the Standard Editor of WordPress, on the right side. After I insert it, it does not show up on the published blogpost page. I have to insert it a SECOND time MANUALLY, at the top of the blogpost, as an IMAGE; I use Beaver Builder to add a column and image. So, in essence, I am adding the image TWICE to get it to show up both at the top of the post as well as in the auto-generated Post Grids which appear on the Home page and Blog page (with the “Featured Image” thumbnail). I hope that makes sense.

Example of Post Grid with Featured Image thumbnails: https://whenwewerentlooking.com/

Example of BlogPost with manually added Image at the top, because Featured Image isn’t showing up:
https://whenwewerentlooking.com/2020/09/what-died-on-mitch-mcconnells-desk/

So, after working with this for some time, I don’t think it has anything to do with the topic, “Compatible with Elementor or Beaver Builder.” It seems to be a bug in Esotera. If you have any insight, I’d appreciate it. Or perhaps, it is just something that needs to be fixed on your end with coding. Thanks!

Issue resolved – the featured boxes could not be disabled because I didn’t have any categories defined. Once I had at least one category, the “boxes content” dropdown shown both the category name as well as “disabled”.

Hi there!
I don’t know if I can support you, but have you tried something like this in your functions.php?

<?php
/* enqueue script for parent theme stylesheeet */        
function childtheme_parent_styles() {
 
 // enqueue style
 wp_enqueue_style( 'parent', get_template_directory_uri().'/style.css' );                       
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'childtheme_parent_styles');

I had the same problem like you and with me this worked 🙂

Hi,

Both your sites exhibit JavaScript errors, most likely related to the 5.6 update which introduced core changes to the built-in JS libraries.

@kstrayer: your site uses minification so I cannot tell where the fault lies.

@Jenscot: on your site the errors are around code loaded by the fancybox and countdown timer plugins.

Hi,

I tried the code out but it made the spaces uneven in other areas.

But it looks good now, I managed to find a code that made all areas look even.

Thank you for your help anyway.

Parabola uses WordPress’ core get_header_image() function to retrieve the configured header image. This function only provides the image file URL and does not supply any additional information entered in the library (such as caption/alt texts).

In newer themes we’ve relied on using the site’s title for the alt attribute, we’ll look into this for Parabola as well.

But you may already have text that’s causing issues with the current server configuration, which may or may not be the same since the last time you successfully saved.

I suggest looking if you have any characters from the extended set (beyond ASCII) in any of the input and textarea fields – if you do try removing them to see if that resolves the limitation.

From past experience we’ve reached the conclusion that (excluding permissions errors or plugins interfering with WordPress’ dashboard) such issues are usually caused by server restrictions or misconfiguration which either limit the amount of text that is accepted in the theme’s input/textarea fields or cannot support specific characters.

To debug where the fault lies, I suggest making a theme settings export and leaving all the fields that hold large blocks of text empty to save the saving procedure. If this works with those fields empty, add their content back one by one (from the export) to see when the issue returns.

You can use a site like unserialize.com to convert the export file to one that’s more easily readable.

I’m sorry for the very delayed reply, your topic was held for additional review and didn’t get published on the site.

Concerning the reported issue, I am not seeing this behaviour on the theme’s demo (which displays the top menu in the same location):

I see you use a mega-menu plugin on your site for that menu location – I suggest trying to turn it off and use the default menu functionality to check if the issue is still present.

I remember resolving this through the support system.
For anyone else encountering a similar issue, the fault was tracked down to a version mismatch between the theme’s internals and the style.css file which made the settings plugin activate the wrong settings mode.

As a result, the next settings plugin update will rely on the theme’s internal version number for compatibility check instead of the one in style.css (which is easier to change for customization purposes).

By shadow are you referring to the rectangle that is animated into view while hovering a menu item?

Bravada Version : 1.0.0.1, WP 5.6 (“fr-FR”)
Animated-title handles ‘tiny spaces’ of french typography not correct, see screenshots.
The error is visible if you select, let’s say, a monthly archive page so you’ll get as title:
Mois&nsp;: novembre 2020
(with the visible ! non breaking entity between ‘Mois’ and ‘:’)

instead of
Mois: novembre 2020

Overview over french spaces and tiny spaces:

cf. function ‘cryoutSliderTitleBreakUp()’ in ‘frontend.js’.
By removing some tiny spaces in the ‘fr_FR.mo/.po’ everything works fine (but the language-file might be overwritten in the next WP-update!)

Thanx for yr work!

In my case – there is problem with OPACITY settings in Customise -> Colors -> Header, down. Changing opacity to 0% – header image is vievable. Changing to 1% or 10% or 50% – image is covered by Overlay permanently.

Thanks, Kay!

I upgraded from 0.9 to 1.0.0.1 and unfortunately, some pages are still not displaying all images – with Chrome. Example page:
https://vanessablaylock.xyz/blog/medici-university-herculini-crater/

All images did display fine with Firefox, and they still do.

Lazy load is a great idea in principle. In my limited experience, it seems to do the opposite of what’s intended and yields a poor performing website. I’ve started taking Jetpack off of as many websites as I can, but for those that must have it, I make sure Lazy Load is OFF. (the site in question does not use Jetpack)

Thank you so much, of all your fantastic themes, I think Bravada is the most glorious yet!

Good morning, thanks for your quick reply! Here is a link to the website. The problem concerns all posts in the main menu “Spirituelle Essays” (categorised by year).

Leaving any background color option inputs empty in the theme’s options will remove that particular background color (technically making the elements to which it applies transparent to the next container).

WordPress 5.5-5.6-5.7 gradually introduce core changes to the JavaScript jQuery library which will cause issues with many themes and plugins. These issues can be somewhat delayed using the JQuery Migrated helper plugin, however the incompatibilities themselves will need to be corrected in the themes and plugins.

Parabola works with WordPress 5.5 and 5.6, but we will most likely still need to release a compatibility update for the 5.7 update.

I believe we have discussed this through the priority support service.

For anyone else having the same question: featured images are only displayed in (posts) lists – blog, categories, archives, search results. On single post or page sections the images can be included in the content at the appropriate desired location.

Separately, the theme is capable of using the featured image instead of the header image – this requires the activation of a general header image and large enough featured images (the size condition can be disabled, though).

Hi,
I am using Roseta’s child theme CODEX and unfortunately I have the same issue. I can only view the frontend of my homepage (and blog page) once, after that, it keeps loading and loading without end as described by BSobek. It is not until I clear my browser cache that I have the chance to visit the frontend of my homepage again. But – again only once… The problem occurs not only with Firefox, but also with Microsoft Edge.
I have deactivated all my plugins and I have tried to install “Enable jQuery Migrate Helper” – unfortunately without success. So it seems to be a problem with the theme…
I hope you can fix it as soon as possible, at the moment the theme is of no use for me! 🙁

[Glenn Zucman]

Thanks for the tip, @MarieDorange!
I gave it a try… first post I looked at was good… but the 2nd post was still not displaying all images.
Oh well! 🙂

[Patrick]

Hi,

I eventually found out what the problem was: when customizing, I was recording my changes whereas they needed to be published to appear on the homepage, an option i did not have on other themes. That settles it, then.

Thanks for your patience and your time

WordPress does not include functionality to randomize the order widgets get displayed in.
This article provides an example for doing this with code. The theme’s widget area location for the columns uses the presentation-page-columns-area identifier.

The site clearly uses caching, even though you claim it doesn’t – the various resources being loaded from cache/autoptimize/ and the source getting minified are an indication for this.

Does the homepage reflect any other changes beside logo/header image and translations correctly?

In WordPress each site section is uniquely identifiable with a classname. You can add custom styling that applies only on the desired sections (pages, posts, archives), for example:

.page-id-321 a#logo {
    display: none;
}

The lighter, border-only button is displayed by the theme, while the second button is added by a plugin. Since you use CSS optimizations on the site, I cannot guess which plugin it is specifically, but the button is identified with .iw-so-article-button

Hi, Zed
I tried your solution… but no difference. I installed and activated the 2020 theme, chose a logo, saw the different modifications while in the customization panel (Header Image, Site’s name and description, Read More label translated into French).

Never had these kinds of problems with a WordPress theme. What can be the problem? Please, help me solve it, it’s driving me crazy!

Thanks for your help
