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! 🙂

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?

Check that the theme’s comment form option is set to labels.

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

After quite a lot of searching around, I tried something that seems to solve the above issue.

I’m using a Child Theme, so I had to go into the functions in the Parent Theme: in the file includes/core.php on line 499 I added the following $text = excerpt_remove_blocks( $text );

This was added above this line: $text = strip_shortcodes( $text );

I’m not fully fluent in WordPress (or PHP), but is there a way of acheiving this by adding something to the Child Theme?

[TigerWolf]

I tried a few of those but not one worked.. menu woudnt stick…

Newly uploaded and set featured images get cropped according to the theme’s current configuration.
Existing images are displayed at their closest existing crop or full size (since they do not have the specific size crops). Unless the source images are already blurry, just cropping them to size will not make them more blurry. However, large images shrunk to fit in smaller size might appear crispier than their 100% zoomed counterparts.

You can configure the theme to disable cropping and display featured images in full all the time (with the downside of using the larger image files).

I see the header image is changed now on the site.
If you’re having problems with the site preview in the customize screen not updating after making configuration changes, that can be due to multiple causes. I suggest checking of and disabling any form of caching (if you’re using one), temporarily disable active plugins (in case one of them is interfering with the customizer) and/or try the same process with a different browser (to check if it’s perhaps related to browser caching).

Hi,
I install Verbosa and a friend’s website and keep stumbling on 2 problems:

– I changed the site’image in Site Identity but it makes no difference: the typewriter image still shows;
– when I try to customize the theme, the home page appears on the right, I make some changes, save them but again no changes ‘image or logo) when I close the customization panel and switch to the actual homepage.

I don’t understand the behaviour of Verbosa in that respect. Could you help, please?

Some of our themes include multiple (as we call them) preset schemes, which can customize more than just the colors (they also change fonts, text sizes, example images and even appearance and layout specifics).

Roseta has one such scheme beside the default, which is also available for the free edition of the theme as a separate child theme named Codex. You can preview its general appearance and look on WordPress.org: https://wordpress.org/themes/codex/

Generally images cannot change colors – the SVG format has some limited capabilities, but for security reasons it is not currently officially supported by WordPress (although there are plugins that force this support).

Additionally, neither the theme nor WordPress provide functionality to define multiple logo images (and then perhaps alternate between them based on specific events).

The logo image is displayed both over the static banner image and the menu bar on scroll. For best results it would need to have a color scheme that works on both these backgrounds. All three elements: the logo image, the static banner image and the header menu background color are configurable and need to be set to values that work together.
