Dear Zed, I finally created a simple and tiny CSS script for my childtheme’s style.css setting the whole sub-menu only a bit to the left:

.sub-menu {
left: -40px;
}

This way I keep some longer menu entries ‘within the screen’ of smaller computers resolution, just before the menu would toggle to ‘tablet menu view’ with the ‘list menu’ appearance. No JavaScript needed and no ‘destruction’ of the theme, I think.

Again thank you very much for this fantastic theme and your fast and serious support!

[Zed]

You want the menu text bigger overall or just taller?
#access ul li a span { } applies to all menu items, while #access ul ul li a span { } applies to submenu items.

The theme is designed with efficiency and speed in mind and relies almost entirely on CSS for the menu’s functionality (employing almost no JavaScript code for it). As such it does not include any additional JS code for edge detection.

Featured boxes are designed to retrieve their content from posts (and link back to the source posts).

Hi
When I tried, I diabled each plugin in turn. But no, I didnt clear the cache each time. I will try again but with doing that and see what happens.
Will let you know.
Thanks
Ian

Hi Zed, thank you for your patience. 😉
The only install instructions that come with ‘Category Featured Images Extended’ for instance, are:

Install and activate the plugin
DE-ACTIVATE CATEGORY FEATURED IMAGES IF ACTIVATED
Go to “Posts/Categories”
Edit a category
Set the category featured image
Go to “Settings/Category Featured Images Extended” to set fallback options.

The instruction to deactivate featured images puzzles me, because activation of featured images is why I installed the plugin in the first place. And I can’t even find the place where to do this.

Of course I don’t expect you to give support on this particular plugin(s), but I’m wondering why they are not working with your Anima theme. I also had problems with adding custom fields plugins. Does a theme need some extra features for that?
And why does the plugin seems to work in the backend and not in the frontend?

It is still readable as such, but with the page this is currently referring to a larger font would make it less tiresome to read in the mobile version. We tried finding the settings for this, but couldn’t make them out?

[Zed]

Since such functionality does not exist by default, it really depends on how those plugins achieve displaying the category’s featured image.
Don’t they come with some kind of instructions for what modifications are necessary?

Theme options (those set in the customizer panels, including the Additional CSS field) are kept between updates.

You only need to be careful if you’ve manually performed files modifications as these would be lost.

@FreeingTomorrow, the styling I gave applies to Septera.
What are you trying to customize in Nirvana?

What styling did you try to use?
identifier { opacity: value; } should work, you may just need to use the specific enough identifier to make the styling apply.

You can add a cookie policy popup with plugins.

Thank you for your answer. I indeed tried two plugins, ‘Category Featured Images – Extended’and ‘Categories Images’. In the admin area they work ok, but no category images are shown when I display a category page. Maybe the plugins are overruled by the Anima theme?

Is there another CSS code to try? I tried the suggested, with no luck:

#main .content-widget-before, .content-widget-before > section {
margin: 0;
}

I also tried this one:

#content {
padding-top: 0!important;
}
.page-header {
padding: 0;
}

Also tried:

#main {
padding-top: 0;
}

#content .entry-header {
display: none;
}

I tried putting all of them (separately) in the custom CSS section of the customizer, and also in Nirvana’s “misc. settings” in the custom CSS section.

I also tried to put all of these (separately) in the CSS code into the styles.css stylesheet (I know it isn’t advised to make changes here, as they can get lost with updates, but the other options didn’t seem to work.)

Loading the code there didn’t work either.

Thanks for your answer. It would be an easy fix, but there was no header image applied. I even tried applying one that was shorter so that the color would show through as expected and no go. I was not involved in the initial setup of this site, so I can’t say what was done initially. If I turn the top bar back on, then the brown bar reappears as it was before.

However, your suggestion did lead me to a solution. Why fight to show something under the header when I can just use the image to accomplish the same thing? So I saved a header image with the bar at the bottom. Thanks for your help, even if it wasn’t what you suggested, it led to a solution and that’s all that matters. 🙂

WordPress does not include functionality to assign featured images to categories, but this might be possible using plugins.

If you’re using a custom post type, you will need to write the custom template files (based on base ones) that render them with the desired taxonomies visible.
If you’re adding taxonomies to default posts, you’ll need to customize the base templates rendering posts directly – the code for this is split between the template files (archive, single, so on) and the functionality files (includes/*.php)

The boxes areas are designed to display content from posts. To make them display posts you’d need to customize the content queries defined in includes/landing-page.php (preferably in a child theme).

Hi Zed,

Thanks for getting back to me.

Yes, the Jetpack settings are set to allow people to share the posts etc.

I am trying to get the social icons on the left side of the screen and in the topbar. Have tried that from within the theme settings. Yes, titles and links all set.

It was working prevuiusly. In truth, I cannot honestly say at what point it stopped. Figured I could find the issue by disabling the plugins one at a time… but nothing came up.

Any ideas?

Many Thanks.

[Zed]

Header images in Anima don’t link to anything.

Also, during the review into the themes repository we were asked to remove the import/export options functionality from our newer themes.

The theme uses WordPress’ core logo functionality to retrieve the assigned image. WordPress applies a filter on the content returned by the get_custom_logo() function – which can be used when certain pages are displayed to override the image markup.

The top line indicates that the menu item points (links) to the page/post/section currently being viewed.
Both the home item and the news one both link to the homepage, so they are both active when on the homepage.

Change the news menu item to link to something else, or turn it into a placeholder without a link.

Custom styling should generally be placed in the theme’s Custom CSS field or in WordPress’ Additional CSS field.

Hello everyone!

We’re giving a kick at solving the problem with landing page content not retrieving the correct language titles/texts with Polylang (and WPML). Things are working fine in our setup but we’d like some real life testing with genuine multi-language sites before pushing this change in all our themes.

We’re doing these tests in our Kahuna theme first so we don’t break properly working sites using the other themes if there are still hiccups. If anyone is willing to do some trial runs, you can grab a copy from the repository.

If you can’t or don’t want to switch themes, a preview in the customizer should be sufficient to check if the correct language is used in the featured blocks, boxes and text areas.

Please let us know how things work out – implementing this in all our themes depends on your feedback.

Just to add to this, the links in the featured posts in the slider don’t work on mobile devices either (desktop seems to be fine). Please could you assist because this ruins the user experience on a mobile device.

Thanks

Hi

This is helpful and I wanted to do the same with the links on my presentation page. Where do I enter that CSS code to effect that change? Do I just copy and paste what you have provided in the ‘custom CSS’ field? (I am very new to customising my website so am learning this as I go along).

Thanks

Hi, i have more or less similar problem, when i am using post i looks perfect, no white gap on the top, but a white space about 35px appear on the post type like this pic Both are using the identical widget (type of widget and all the setting) I tried to read theme docs, and i dont find the answer. Is there any solution to solve this? Thank you.

My bad. I thought jumping content was pretty well defined once it landed on CSS Tricks. Here’s a link to a related article in case you’re not familiar: https://css-tricks.com/content-jumping-avoid/.

In the context of Septera, the jumping content plays out like this (on slower, but not ridiculously slow, internet connections):

1. Load the static landing homepage.
2. First paint occurs, hero media not yet visible.
3. Viewport lays out featured icon blocks (slide in from right), font icons not yet loaded.
4. Hero image begins to load, dimensions are determined and featured blocks pushed off screen.
5. Hero image loads based on browser speed, presenting background or color.

To reproduce this behavior just throttle your connection speed to Cable on the above website or the one provided here using dev tools or your favorite client-side proxy.

I found a pretty good article on https://perf.rocks explaining how to combat this type of behavior. It wouldn’t be such a big thing if it weren’t for the font icons not loading yet. But the animation looks cool and will probably reduce perceived latency from the user standpoint.

Either way loving the theme. Best on the market, and you know it!

@rarodiez, pages that contain complex shortcodes may fail to be processed correctly when used in the landing page content. This functionality heavily relies on the plugins providing the shortcodes actually handling their contnet on all sections (including the homepage) and not just in single content or categories/archives.

Hi Zed – thanks for getting back to me.

Is there a way to enable overlay plus icon in the Mobile view?

Thank you!
