Hi,

all good 🙂 The error only persisted while I had the old version of frontpage.php in my child theme directory.

I copied the new nirvana/frontpage.php to the child theme (and merged my original changes) so everything is looking great again.

While I’m here… Nirvana has to be one of the very best WordPress themes out there for tech-savvy and non-tech personnel alike. Amazing work!

Thanks, guys!

All the best from Scotland

I see. That makes lots of sense.

I have tried a number of your themes but not Parabola, I guess this is why I misunderstood it — I thought you built the preset color picker purely for the demo.

Since the preset color schemes are part of Parabola’s configurations and not other themes, you are right that having a preset picker in other demos does not make much sense and are probably not cost-effective enough.

Thank you a lot for writing such a long and detailed response!

Never mind, I just realized what I was doing wrong. My error entirely – apologies! My issue’s resolved.

We have not designed the social icons included in the themes and are using them as they are.

If you’re intending to correct the Github icon for your site and are willing to share it with us, we’d be more than happy to include it in the next theme(s) update.

We use bbPress for the forum functionality and bbPress does not provide a way for regular users to delete topics/replies. If you want I can delete your topic, but we usually keep discussions for future reference.

The free theme has no dedicated JS field, so you’d need to use a plugin to add the code to your site. Then you’d need to format the target text in a way that lets you edit it with the companion JS.

For example, use
&copy; 2007 - <span id="copyyear">2018</span> WebsiteName
in the text field and

function update_copyyear(){
    var d = new Date();
    document.getElementById('copyyear').innerHTML( d.getFullYear() );
}
update_copyyear();

for the JS.

This code is untested

Parabola includes preset color schemes which can be activated with a single click.
Kahuna does not include such schemes so there is nothing to select in the demo. We have no longer included preset color schemes in the newer themes as we have found that not many theme users actually used them (compared to the work that went into integrating them and keeping them updated with newer theme releases) and the whole functionality required rewriting from scratch to work with the customize-based options.
The newer themes include fewer distinct color options (as we’ve grouped various elements in sets) so they are easier to customize to obtain a certain color scheme.

Concerning the “showcase” subforums, we’ve found that they are only lightly used and that users also post their questions incorrectly there (and get answers very late or never, since we don’t monitor them as closely as the bugs and how-to sections).

The site title is normally displayed at the top left side of the header. If you’re referring to the text visible lower on the landing page (over the static slider image), that’s the static slider caption, which on first theme activation copies the site title and tagline.

The theme rearranges it structure depending on screen size it is viewed on. On some devices / screen layout, the posts will use up the full screen width. Depending on the configured posts images height, their images may fill up the entire screen (both width and height).

How are you looking to reduce/limit the post images? In what way?

To use rgba() color values you’ll need to write and use custom styling.

The theme uses WordPress’ core color selector which only supports RGB colors, without opacity. The color fields also get sanitized on save/display so you’ll end up with invalid #rgba(…) values.

We have expanded the social icons list in the version 3 release and these icon images look differently (lighter, smaller and uniform).

If you are not satisfied with the new look, you can choose to revert to an older theme release using the WP Rollback plugin or customize the social icon images used.

@dihooper, you have the entire parent theme styling in the child theme’s style.css file. Since the order the styles are loaded in is parent, options-generated, child (it has always been this way), this results in the old (now outdated) styling overwriting the correct one. You need to clean up your child theme style.css file to contain only the customized CSS.

The 1.5 release does include small changes to font sizes (some to the defaults, so they don’t apply to an already configured site, some to the actual values applied), spaces/paddings and general looks. Such changes are obviously visible after the update. You can use the theme’s typography options to slightly adjust the values.

Hi Zed, With the update my font size went small and some formatting changed – dot points in About slant to right.
I tried adding suggested text to Nirvana Child Theme: Theme Functions (functions.php) but it made the site worse, I lost my fonts, and it made no difference to font sizes, or formatting

[PierreRaby]

Are RGB codes now accepted in the color settings of the parabola settings or must it be done in the additional CSS.

I am working on two versions of the same site. One in french and one in the other. The french version has an RGB code in the the background color of the main menu, it is #rgba(24, 24, 24, 0.15). The shading i am looking for appears in the main menu. I tried the same code in the english version of the site and it does not work. Not sure what to check anymore

The example to look at is in french: http://testing2.clanraby.ca/episode-1/ and English is at http://testing3.clanraby.ca/episode-1/

Any suggestions anyone ???

[Zed]

As I have mentioned in my email answer, the theme supports the suggested Google fonts from the bundled fonts list or all other Google fonts through the use of the custom font identifier field. The selected fonts will then be used on the appropriate elements.
Using any other Google fonts (via custom styling or otherwise), will require that you embed those fonts to the site yourself (manually or through a plugin).

You can reduce the spacing with:

body .slider-wrapper {
    padding-bottom: 0;
}

For the second question, I believe you’ve found some incorrect styling in Mantra. To correct it until the next update, add the following CSS:

@media (min-width: 641px) {
.home #content article.post {
    width: 49%;
    margin-right: 2%;
}
.home #content article.post:nth-child(2n) {
    margin-right: 0;
} }

I tried to fix the problem (=get rid of Times Roman) on mobile by using media queries for headlines:
font-family:-apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont,
“Segoe UI”, “Roboto”, “Oxygen”,
“Ubuntu”, “Cantarell”, “Fira Sans”,
“Droid Sans”, “Helvetica Neue”, sans-serif;

Maybe there is a better way to solve the problem?

What happens when you submit the form on the site?
You’re saying the form works with the default theme but doesn’t with Anima.

Did you do this test with the exact same form displayed in the same location from the same device at about the same time? Since that particular plugin sends the form data via email, even a small change in the email headers (like browser signature or client IP) can trigger a change in how the message is handled at the destination.

1) The shadow is there to highlight the fixed menu. You can disable it with CSS:
body #masthead #site-header-main { box-shadow: none; }

2) The logo and the menu are designed to be on the same row

3) The menu content needs to fit in the available space on the target screen sizes, before the mobile menu activates (or the mobile menu needs to be customized to activate earlier – at the point the used menu no longer fits).

4) The slide images are 1920×700; slider is set to 1920×800 (the height difference has no consequence if the images are shorter); site width is at the default 1920px.

Try switching the theme’s comment field option to labels.

Changing the images for mobile devices is tricky to do; hiding the entire columns area is doable with a simple block of CSS:

@media (max-width: 800px) { /* you may want to adjust the devices screen width that the hiding applies to */
   #front-columns {
       display: none;  
   }
}

The link applied to the header image is generated by WordPress through its home_url() function.
To change the link you’d need to filter that function (for the entire site) or customize the theme’s tempera_title_and_description() function.

Looks like Gutenberg applies some styling which doesn’t play nice with the theme’s own styling.
Try adding this custom CSS to correct that:

#content .aligncenter, #content img.aligncenter, 
#content .alignleft, #content img.alignleft, 
#content .alignright, #content img.alignright {
    display: table;
}

Single Plus theme purchases and Developer Club Membership have a 1 year licensing period. Once this term has passed/expired you will need to make a new purchase to continue receiving updates and support.

The purchased product(s) will continue to work regardless of the status of the license. Using our themes is not conditioned in any way to having an active subscription, however we no longer provide support, security and feature updates after the license expires.

Due to the continuously evolving state of digital goods and services, we choose not to label any of our services unlimited.
I personally believe that lifetime licenses are misleading at best. No developer can and will provide maintenance and updates forever. At most they do so for the lifetime of the product, which is usually no more than several years.

Concerning the error you are encountering, please create a support ticket with more details on the steps that lead to this.

So I went ahead and bought Anima Plus anyway.

I’ve just tried to put my license number in and I’m getting an “options page not found” error.

Well, indeed it “makes the overlay color more obvious” to the extent that it obliterates the original underlying image colors!

The slider increments the opacity by 5% at a time, and even on the first 5% there is no image colors only the greyscale!

I find it hard to imagine this was the original intent for the overlay. As of 1.3.1 with the use of the overlay the only image color is that of the overlay, whereas in the prior version the overlay functioned as a color tint to the underlying image with greater intensity as the opacity increased.

In my humble view to introduce a greyscale filter which is not optional was a poor decision. It seems to me that if the “greyscale filter” was optional, as I believe it should be, then both the current and prior behaviors for the overlay could be accommodated.

So I’d be obliged if this could be a future consideration. I’ve not dug into the code at this point and have no idea as to the degree of difficulty this might pose, but it would be nice if you could let us know if this is a possibility…

Comment form content can only be controlled by overriding the entire content using WordPress’ filters (this is how the plugins do it too).

The plugin not working is most likely due to the order filters are applied. Switch the theme’s Comment Field option to labels and the plugin should start having effect.

Since version 1.3.1 the greyscale filter is applied on the header (and static slider image) when an overlay color is used. This makes the overlay color more obvious (even at low overlay opacity values)

There is currently limited support for multi-language categories in the featured boxes with Polylang. We are looking to find the best way to extend this support.
