Hi,

I am not seeing this extra span on the theme’s demo site, making me believe that on your site it might get added by a plugin.
Look into any SEO plugin you may be using.

Hi,

Any static page that is assigned to the special “blog” section will have all of its content (except the title) and meta attributes (such as featured image, custom metas provided by the theme) ignored by WordPress and will use the general site properties instead.
The same happens to a static page that is assigned as the “homepage” of the site (when the theme’s landing page feature is not used).

Hi,

The various color options work in sets and apply to multiple elements throughout the site (this is mostly true for more general text/background colors, links and and the two accent colors). It is not possible to have color options for each individual element (we nearly did that with Nirvana and it turned into a horrible disaster trying to set up a color scheme for the site).

The animated boxes work well with darker images since the texts are white. The overlay that appears on hover uses the first accent color so that one should be an acceptably dark shade as well (both accents are used in multiple combinations throughout the site with white texts and white backgrounds).
Beyond the available options, the appearance of elements can be further tweaked with CSS.

The secondary content background color applies to the secondary (right) sidebar only – which you’re probably not using.

Hi,

We usually release updates to correct bugs or compatibility issues. We are not aware of any incompatibilities with PHP 8.
Have you encountered any issues with using the current theme version with PHP 8?

Hi,
To customize the order either edit the publish date to make those reflect the desired order or make use of the theme’s roseta_boxes_query_args filter to customize the query that retrieves the boxes content.

$args = apply_filters( 'roseta_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 );

You can, of course, display posts lists inside (static) pages, but the theme’s job is generally taking care of how the content looks, not where it comes from or which one it is. It is more of a task up for plugins to provide additional widgets and/or shortcodes to let you choose what content is displayed where beyond the default functionality of WordPress.
You can go along two paths for this:
– search for a plugin that lets you customize categories appearance (header/background) separately from the rest of the site and make use of WordPress’ built-in post filtering capabilities.
– search for a plugin that lets you display posts list inside pages – but since this is beyond default functionality the plugin will also be in control of the posts’ appearance there.

Hi,

Are you looking to link to a specific site section (different from the landing page) or a specific location on the same page (or the third case, a combination of both).

To link to a different page, simply enter that page’s URL in the CTA link field. If you want to link to a specific location on a page (either the same or a different one) you need to use or also include the anchor link.

You can find more info about the different kinds of links and how they work in this WordPress support page:

UPDATE:

Found the relevant piece of code:

if ( ‘posts’ == get_option( ‘show_on_front’ ) ) {
include( get_home_template() );
} else {

Tried removing it, and it will delete the the “Nothing Found
No search results for:” text although also prevents me from adding any other text I want through the text widget.

I there some piece of code you can help me with that hides only the “Nothing found…”?

[davy-bogaert]

Hello @Zed
Apologies – I did some rework to try and correct things (including deleting the blog and restarting with a different page name … which is the reason why the URL was’t available anymore).
Right now the page doesn’t hang anymore but it doesn’t display the image that I indicated in the set-up … it flips back to the default theme image for one reason or another.
Here’s the new blog page: https://entre-parentheses32.com/dernieres-nouvelles/.
As you can see it displays the default image (from “Site Identity”) although on the blog page itself I set up another one.
Thx for following up!

Hey @plants68 do you have categories defined? In my case it just didn’t work without them.

[nik1]

Also, how could I add some buttons like you have in your preview photo of the theme on WordPress?

[Adrian_P]

Good evening.
There were some problems on my website after the last theme update. It’s about pages, not posts. Posts display properly, but pages don’t. Content disappears while pages are displayed. Also when scrolling the page.
For example: http://www.wolnykanal.pl/o-mnie/
Where can I look for a solution to my problem?
Greetings.

Another useful trick, if Pencil/Edit button disturbs you previewing pages, when logged in as admin, you can hide Edit link using such css code:
.entry-meta > span {
display: none;
margin-right: 1em;
}

Hi Zed,
You’re wondering why I’d want to have more than one Posts Page. Here’s why:
My website is where I publish my short stories, essays and poetry. The perfect thing would be for me to have a different “look” for each category. For example, the picture in the Short Story header, the background, etc. would be different. One for stories, one for essays, and so forth.
I actually thought about having a different sub-domain for each one, but that means lots of extra maintenance, I think.
Fluida has the option in the PLUS version to have different templates for pages. I think this means that these templates make it easier to design pages like “Log In” or “About Always Rejoicing” or such. Now, this is probably a WordPress.org question, but, after reading your answer, I’m wondering if I could set up a page with a template and a widget that would display the “Poetry” category…??? The “BLOCKS” on the Landing Page do this. I’ve set up my test site with the category “Favorites” and now I can have a block on the Landing Page that displays the stories in my “Favorites” category. I really, really like that very much.
Parabola has the “Categories” widget that I use as a menu device. But the Blocks in Fluida work so much better. (BTW…it’s because Parabola has problems on the iPhones that I started searching for another theme. I’m sure you’ll fix it. But I began to realize that my design looked dated. That started me searching for the ‘perfect’ theme for me.)
I wish I could test the PLUS version, but I understand that if I download the theme and it ‘does not fit’ I can’t ‘return’ it like I would a shirt or jeans.
It looks like I will have to subscribe to the extra support, as I’m starting to produce a ton of questions.
Thanks for answering my question.
Rejoice Always!

The top corners being rounded and the bottom two not is something that’s not configurable as it’s included by default (being part of the theme’s visual personality).
It is automatically applied to the landing page static banner image (when one is used). It will also apply to the slider when using our Serious Slider plugin and the slider is set to use the Cryout Theme appearance style.

The limit between how much room there is for caption or how much of the image’s sides gets lost outside the screen is very broad and depends on many other factors: how large the caption is, how tall the slide image is, how wide the site is, what screen width is the site viewed on (the resize/crop is dynamic and adjusts according to screen size).

You can of course force specific sizes or behaviours with CSS, but both the behaviours and the CSS will vary depending on the current configuration and desired outcome.

Hi,

That’s how the color control options are designed to work in Kahuna – the sidebars’ background color applies to the individual widgets to create a block-like visual appearance.

For security reasons, the plugin has to pass all submitted data through the appropriate sanitization filters. The URL fields are sanitized as links. Your URLs are seen as incorrect by WordPress and are automatically prefixed.

You should use domain-relative URLs like /home, /shop, however these will need to contain the full parent path to work, eg /full-path/to-my/shop.

Hi,

Are you referring to the general site layout (content / sidebar(s)) or the posts columns layout in posts lists?

The site layouts can be controlled through the general layout option for the whole site and then specific layout options for static pages (through the meta options).

Posts layout is configurable through the separate option – which applies sitewide for all posts list.

The Plus edition of the theme adds additional layout control options for both features.

For obvious reasons (maintenance and saving on some headaches ;-)) our themes share a lot of the code between them (within the two sets – classic and customizer-based, more specifically). Choosing between themes from the same set is mostly a visual choice.

WordPress’ blog page carries the specific functionality of displaying all posts from all categories in a (descending) freshness order. While having one such section makes total sense, I’m not sure how two or more would work – do they simply display the same posts in the same manner or how would they be different?
If the intended outcome is to display different posts filtered by a criteria (category? tags? author?), that’s already possible with WordPress’ built-in various category / tags / archive sections.

We’re definitely not perfect (but one can hope…) so we can’t really decide for you what to theme to chose. The best we can do is answer specific questions about what a theme can or can’t do, and also how.

@btmz.nitin, I think you’d better ask the theme’s authors about this. It may due to the same WordPress change (I mentioned earlier here).

That depends on where you want to add them. The theme supports both a footer navigation and a custom footer text field that accepts HTML markup.

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”.

[FedeIsaLovati]

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.
