Hi,

Posts in the post lists are arrange in a grid layout using Masonry.
Depending on their specific heights (content lengths) and the relative heights between each other, after the grid layout is applied (dynamically using JavaScript), the order may slightly change from that the posts are normally displayed in.

If you don’t like this arrangement, you can turn off the Masonry functionality from the theme’s options:

Just to echo what I said above, and have said to Zed privately, but huge thanks to him for the timely and efficient way he dealt with my problems after updating to 2.4. A perfect example of how customer service should be run!

Kudos!

[Zed]

Hi,

Any styling/layout issues you may be seeing after updating an older install to 2.4.0 are probably due to using a child theme that will require updating for some code changes.
There should be no issues observed if you’re not using a child theme.

Previously, Parabola was using an action hooked into the wp_head hook to enqueue all its styles.
Version 2.4.0 changes these enqueues to the proper wp_enqueue_scripts hook.

If your child theme still uses the previous hook, then the necessary styles (main, options-generated, mobile and child theme’s) will be loaded in the incorrect order, causing default styles to override configured and custom ones. You will need to update the code in the child theme to be similar to the example below:

// enqueue parent theme styling
function child_parent_styling(){
	wp_enqueue_style( 'parabola-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css', array(), _CRYOUT_THEME_VERSION );  // restore correct parent stylesheet
	wp_enqueue_style( 'parabola-child', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css', array( 'parabola-style' ), '20210312' ); // enqueue child 
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts','child_parent_styling');

The style identifier parabola-style should be present exactly with this name as there are secondary styles enqueued conditionally after it.

If you are using our NoLink child theme, an updated version is available for download in the customer account.

I tried that, however my child theme is a self created one. I may just have to sit this update out!

[dandimaala]

This worked. Thanks! 🙂

@sneakerbot beginner here as well. I’ve found the easiest to follow is the first one suggested by Zed. Appearance — Customize. Then bottom left you’ll find Additional CSS. Copy-paste Zed’s code here.

Hi,

i find the solution, I had to add these :

@font-face {
font-family: ‘Slime’;
src: url(https://www.blog.grainedecosmos.fr/wp-content/themes/verbosa/fonts/slimebox.eot);
src: url(https://www.blog.grainedecosmos.fr/wp-content/themes/verbosa/fonts/slimebox.eot?#iefix) format(’embedded-opentype’),
url(https://www.blog.grainedecosmos.fr/wp-content/themes/verbosa/fonts/slimebox.woff2) format(‘woff2’),
url(https://www.blog.grainedecosmos.fr/wp-content/themes/verbosa/fonts/slimebox.woff) format(‘woff’),
url(https://www.blog.grainedecosmos.fr/wp-content/themes/verbosa/fonts/slimebox.ttf) format(‘truetype’),
url(https://www.blog.grainedecosmos.fr/wp-content/themes/verbosa/fonts/slimebox.svg#slime_boxregular) format(‘svg’);
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;

}

on CSS additionnel

Thanks !

@dandimaala: That same effect is applied to multiple elements. You can turn them all of with this CSS:

body .widget-title, body #comments-title, body #reply-title, 
body .related-posts body .related-main-title, body .main .page-title, 
body #nav-below em, body .lp-text .lp-text-title, 
body .lp-boxes-animated .lp-box-title {
    background-image: none;
}

@sneakerbot: You can apply CSS using WordPress’ Additional CSS panel on the customize screen.

CSS can also be applied using a child theme or a custom CSS insertion plugin.

Hi,

The two CTA buttons are designed to inherit colors from other configuration options and don’t have their distinct options. If needed, you can customize the buttons with CSS:

body a.staticslider-button:first-child,
body .seriousslider-theme .seriousslider-caption-buttons a.seriousslider-button:first-child {
    color: white;
    border-color: white;
}

This only applies to the first button – adjust the color (and add additional styling) as necessary.

Disable the caching functionality and re-check if the issue is still present.
If it’s resolved, re-enable caching but look for a minify option in the caching plugin and leave that disabled as it can interfere with the order the theme’s styles are applied.

Bravada’s section titles are designed to appear in their own, peculiar way. You can see how this work with the default colors on the theme’s demo.
I’m certain this design won’t work with all color combinations, though, but we’re not even aiming for that because it would simply mean having a dark text on light background everywhere (or the reverse) and no personality at all. Pretty much like today’s minimalistic design we see everywhere that lacks any identity. In my view not everything has to be a box with corners to be usable.

It’s tweaks like these that CSS is for. Use the following identifier to target the section titles:
.main .lp-section-header .lp-section-title { }
Note that they inherit the general site text color and have the opacity lowered to appear that way – you’ll most likely need to adjust both attributes to customize

In Bravada the main navigation is the one triggered by the hamburger icon and displayed overlaid on the site. The theme also supports an additional top navigation area, visible in the header between the logo/title and hamburger icon.

Hi,

The theme’s featured boxes elements use regular posts as their source content. When creating posts (that are assigned to specific categories which can be associated with every featured boxes section) keep in mind that the following post attributes are automatically used in the boxes:
– the post title will become the box title
– the post content will be used to create the box excerpt
– the post’s featured image will become the box’s image
– the box will link to the source post

Someone has an idea ?

Thanks and have a nice day !

Hi Again, Y’All,
I think I have a solution: I’m going to use FLUIDA! Yeah! When I checked out ESOTERA it seemed to be the solution until I realized that the floating menu on the right was just a Categories Menu. I could not get it to expand. Perhaps there is a setting somewhere, but I could not find it. And I prefer the look of FLUIDA. The menu is a problem. I wish the menu would scroll. It does scroll for small screens! On a computer screen it expands off the window and will not scroll. So I’m modifying my menu. I can use the Icons & Boxes on the Landing Page for much of it. So, Cryout, if you could make the large screen menu scroll…or detect that it’s expanded out of the window and open to the left?

Ultimately, putting each main category in a sub-domain making the main site a page of links may be the way to do this.

Now that I’ve worked out which theme I will be using, I need to check in with your sales department and get a license for the PLUS version of FLUIDA.

Rejoice Always!

Hi Y’All,
Okay, I apologize for my inability to look at the DEMO and see what BRAVADA actually looks like. My excuse is that I was concentrating on how the Menu works. Still, I should have looked carefully. Then I would know that you actually designed it to do the thing I’ve been trying to find a setting to change!!!
HOWEVER, you might want to know that I did check the demo on another laptop. Both my current Lenovo and an ancient Toshiba do the same thing: If the laptop screen is vertical (90*) then the SECTION TITLE is very faint. Only when the screen it tilted back can it be seen. My monitor does show the SECTION TITLE faintly. When I stand up, it disappears. So the angle of the screen definitely makes a difference.

I’m going to try ESOTERA. I’m praying that it will do what I need.

Rejoice Always!

Hi Cryout Creations,
I think I found a solution: the BRAVADA Theme. It is very much like FLUIDA. The good thing is that the menu seems to work better. I’ve tried it in a shortened window and it seems to work okay…except it still has the tiny arrow. Even so, with a dark background that little arrow can be seen and it works well on the iPhone 6.

I’m testing it on the ‘test’ site sub-domain. I don’t have a ton of stuff on that site, but there’s enough for most things.

It may be the Typography but the text is much larger on the iPhone, therefore, it’s easier to see the little arrow and touch it with my finger.

So, I think you can put me back in the “Happy Camper” column.

Rejoice Always!

Use the following identifier to target these elements:
.main .lp-section-header .lp-section-title { }

Note that they inherit the general site text color and have the opacity lowered to appear in that particular way – you’ll most likely need to adjust both attributes.

Update on the Menu Question:
It turns out that the menu has more problems.
1.) Using a computer with a monitor I discovered that the menu will extend out of the window. So not all of it is readable/available. The way to overcome this problem is to make the window narrow so that the little ‘hamburger’ icon appears. Then the full menu is available…under the caveats mention in the first post on this subject (above).
2.) On larger screens the number if menu items is limited by the fact that if there are a large number they will form two rows…and the bottom rows will cover the first entry from the menu item above it. I have played with the menu and modified it so that there is only one row. Unfortunately, I have to hide the site icon in order to get the menu all the way to the left. If I could do that, it would probably work much like the menu in Mantra. I don’t want to remove the site icon, since everyone knows that clicking on it will return to the home page.

None of this is acceptable. I have put a ton of time into making Fluida work, only now I discover that the menu system is highly flawed. I am really glad I did not purchase the Plus version.

So far: Mantra has the best menu system of the themes I have used. I don’t like Verbosa’s system. (see https://foreverstone.alwaysrejoicing.com and you’ll know why.) Parabola had a good system, but it won’t work on certain iPhones. Now Fluida’s menu system is highly flawed.

The time spent implementing Fluida is not totally wasted, as I learned much about themes from the process. So, I guess I’ll have to search for another theme. Ultimately, this is my fault. I should have spent more time testing the menu system before I chose to implement the theme. Lesson Learned.

Rejoice Always!

Hi,

Those elements don’t have distinct options and use more general settings from the theme’s options.
If you want to customize them while overriding what’s set in the options then you’ll need to use custom styling (preferably applied without modifying any theme files).

The styling depends on which specific titles (elements) you want to customize: the section titles or the actual elements (blocks/boxes) titles?

Hi @chuizi95923,
I see your purchase finalized within one day from the order date (due to additional checking PayPal performed on your order) so you now have access to the theme files.
I suggest reading our getting started tutorial for the first steps in using one of our Plus themes.
Additionally, you can now use the priority support form to get quick answers to any of your questions.

Hi,

I believe we’ve been discussing about this issue through the email and you’ve managed to track it down to the Classic Editor plugin.
I find that odd since I also personally use that plugin on my own sites and I’ve never gotten the same alert. Perhaps there’s an extra plugin that’s interfering with the classic editor’s functionality.

Hi,
The quick multi-image functionality is a shortcut and is only available on the initial creation of the slider.
Subsequent edits are done slide-by-slide and you’ll need to add or edit the additional images/slides individually.

We’ve made the plugin use the familiar WordPress editing functionality for the management to make it simpler to use. The add/edit slide screens are identical with the add/edit post or page screens, where the title field will be used as the slide caption title, the text is used as the caption text and the featured image becomes the slide (image) itself.
Sliders behave like post categories, where a slider can (and usually does) hold and display multiple slides (the equivalent of posts).

Hi,
I assume you are referring to the featured boxes sections (since those are the only sections that display posts and come in multiple instances).
There is no readily available option to configure such behaviour, however you can make use of the theme’s query filter to override the query responsible with retrieving the posts:

$args = apply_filters( 'bravada_boxes_query_args', array(
	'showposts' => $options['theme_lpboxcount' . $sid],
	'cat' => cryout_localize_cat( $cat ),
	'ignore_sticky_posts' => 1,
	'lang' => cryout_localize_code()
), $options['theme_lpboxcat' . $sid], $sid );

$custom_query->query( $args );

Hi,

The H1 tag is normally used for the site title on the homepage, since that should be the most important text there (the other presentation page fields are all optional).
Without a site URL I cannot check your particular configuration setup.

Hello @Zed,
Yes, that is understood. The thing is that I actually replaced the image in the general site properties. But it doesn’t take it into account.

[rickhellewell]

Note that if you have a child theme that uses Mantra as the parent, and you have added ‘mantra_comment’ in your child theme’s functions to override how Mantra displays comments, you have to modify their base ‘mantra comment’ to include a new ‘case statement:

	switch ( $comment->comment_type ) :
		case '' :
                case 'comment':   // add this line

This ‘bit’ me because my modified mantra_comment overrode the fix that Mantra installed to fix the bug in their original ‘mantra_comment’ function. Adding the above fixed the issue of comments not displaying in my child theme that uses Mantra as the parent – my implementation of the child theme used ‘mantra_comment’ from prior versions.

[uisdean]

Thanks Zed,

I do appreciate that you took the time to answer this.

Well, I certainly appreciate that you tried with Nirvana. May I assume that this is a WordPress design (flaw)?
And, yes, I did consider using the Right Sidebar instead of the Left one. That’s purely my preference. There’s no reason otherwise.

I really do not want to tweak CSS. It’s just that much more documentation and remembering details. I modified my color scheme and all is well.

Overall, I am really pleased with how Fluida has worked out.

Rejoice Always!

Hi,

The title of a page is a separate field in the dashboard editor and is not included in the excerpt generation (which only uses the content).
Since you did not include a site link to check this out myself, but I assume you’re somehow also including the title in the content of the pages.

Hi,

I am not familiar with that plugin or how it works.
The notice message, however, references a file in WordPress itself so the fault that is occurring cannot be identified just from that.
The cause may be a combination of things:

Hi,

Such functionality is not present in the theme because it would be very dependent on other factors that are not under the theme’s control: the lengths of the site title and/or logo (and the presence or absence of both), also the number of social icons that are used in the social menu and lastly the screen size the site is viewed on.

As a more general solution, the social icons are included in the mobile menu.
