Nirvana’s frontend styling is mostly generated on page view based on the theme settings.
WordPress’ TinyMCE editor accepts only CSS files for extra styling, so there is no easy way to add the settings-based generated styling to the editor.

You can change anything related to appearance with custom styling:

body #main {
    background-image: url("http://www.pixeden.com/media/k2/galleries/165/001-subtle-light-pattern-background-texture-vol5.jpg");
    background-repeat: repeat;
}

Nirvana will always display latest X from all posts on the presentation page.

This is a requirement by the theme review guidelines that we have to follow to be accepted in the themes repository.

The CSS field is for styling only, the JS field is for JavaScript.

What kind of code are you trying to include? HTML? PHP?

Are you using this in the theme’s Custom CSS field or somewhere else?

Yoast’s SEO field for the homepage (this includes the default WordPress homepage that the presentation page replaces) are located separately, in the Homepage section under Titles & Metas.

However I am not sure how this works with multilanguage plugins.

Marjorie, Kathy, did you install the settings plugin?

Ditte, yes – the plugin is designed to work with all Tempera versions and will pick the correct functionality to restore/fix depending on the combination of WordPress/theme versions used.

Your theme is configured to a width of 1980px (which is wider than most monitors out there), so you site will always expand the full width of the screen and never appear center aligned.

Reduce this width to a more decent value (considering the screens you want your site to be best viewed on) and then it should look more like the demo (the default value is 1050px).

Look at the Custom Footer Text field in the theme settings page (under Miscellaneous).

If you’re missing the settings page, read this announcement.

Well, actually I solved it by injecting this javascript in the “CUSTOM JAVASCRIPT” field of the Nirvana Settings:

var _hack_nirvana = document.getElementsByClassName("page_item_has_children");
for (var i in _hack_nirvana) {
   var item = _hack_nirvana[i];
    if (item.firstChild) {
   item.firstChild.removeAttribute("href");
}
}

Hi

We are running several WP-sites with Parabola and experience the same thing with disappeared date/time in the frontend.

If anybody has a hint or advice, it will be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,
Michael

[Brian Moore]

Very much liked the Parabola template. Made a start but found a problem – see earlier posts. Flagged the problem up on the forum but no response, so decided to sign up for the $25 contribution to get Premium Support. Sent the query to Premium Support who suggested a possible solution which I immediately tried but sadly, it didn’t work, so I replied a few minutes after the initial email from Premium Support explaining it hadn’t resolved things and I attached screen shots showing that I’d carried out the suggestions but to no avail. Since then, a period of over 36 hours, I’ve heard nothing.

In many ways, it is good to discover early that this would be a bad choice for me as a template for my business as I can’t be going days without resolving issues. So, despite how much I liked the template and despite the modest $25 investment, I’ll be using a template from elsewhere. It seems many others are also unable to get a response which is a real shame.

[Brian Moore]

Since no ideas were forthcoming and I wanted to get on, I domated the $25 for customer supports and about 8 hours ago I did receive an email saying: ‘Check that the theme’s presentation page in the theme’s settings (under Presentation Page Settings) is set to ‘Enabled’ and also check that WordPress Settings > Reading options are set to display Latest Posts for the homepage (and not a static page).

Setting a static page there has priority over the theme’s presentation page and is displayed instead.’

I did have the Presentation Page enabled’ but hadn’t set the WordPress Reading settings to Latest post, rather than Static Page. I altered this and saved changes but sadly, it has made no difference. I did respond to the customer suport to say I’d tried this but it didn’t work and asking if they have any more ideas. I haven’t yet heard back but as it is a .eu site, they were probably getting some much needed sleep.

However, if anyone else has any good ideas, please feel welcome to offer them as I’m stuck at the moment.

My problem now, I got notice in updates that I needed cryout serious theme settings plugin installed since I had tempera i installed and activated. Since then my presentation page sliders are gone. I tried deactivating that plugin but it made no difference. At this point just want my site back the way it was. I am so frustrated with always trying to figure out how to do stuff on this. Can anyone please advise me as to how I can just get back to where my site was before this update?

[Tadh]

Any chance for some help with this? I’ve tried many things but couldn’t get to anything that works 🙁

[Leland]

Oh Hey, almost forgot. I love the ability to control the featured image, but here’s my dilemma…

My Mantra featured images were all 250×250 and placed to the mid-left of the excerpts on my blog post page. The supposedly “responsive” nature of the new featured images on the excerpts mess with all of my graphics and the look is atrocious. Is there anyway we can get the old type incorporated into this theme also?

I like that they can become a featured image to the post, but on the excerpts it seems a little buggie. I don’t want to have to go thru and update images on ALL of my posts to fit the theme if I don’t have to.

Thanks again.

Hello,

I am writing about an issue I am having with the Parabola “Presentation Page” settings on our Web site. The issue we are having is with the column graphics on the “Presentation Page” when the Web site is viewed on a mobile or iPad device when rotated.

The presentation page has several segments that make up the page: Header, footer, slides, and presentation page columns. We currently have the settings set to show one of five different graphics displaying in the center “Slides” graphical element on the presentation/home page of the site. Beneath that main graphic element, there is a section labeled “Presentation Page Columns.” We currently have that option set to show three of the four available graphic items in the presentation page column settings under theme appearance.

So, the issue is when the iPad (or cellphone) is in the portrait display mode. In this mode the Web page Center graphic resizes and displays the images properly; however, the three graphic elements below it do not. They wrap instead of resizing? When the iPad or phone is rotated back to landscape mode everything displays again as expected.

It seems that the “Slides” section of the presentation/home page has an attribute applied to it that causes the “Slides” element to resize the displayed content based on the orientation/page size of a device. But, the “Presentation Page Columns” placeholder section does not seem to have this same/similar attribute and wraps the the graphics instead of resizing them.

Is this a bug or feature? Please advise.

Thank you!

Zed, Brad is right, your fix for this problem is NOT working for most of us. I tried it and yes, it restored the presentation page and slider as it was, but it make disappear the blog page instead. The problem started only when I installed Cryout plugin, so please, could you try and see what is happening? My website is my business and my job, so I’m really anxious to have running again.
Thanks for your help,
Sanda Reynolds

Hokay folks. Got it working.

Some how just using single elements seems to make it work. So it’s just this.

input[type="text"] { border-style: solid; border-color: #8aac1a;}
input[type=submit], input[type=reset] { background-color: #FFFFFF; border-color: #8aac1a;}

An awesome theme you folks have built. I totally love Nirvana! I tried many other themes before going live, but kept coming back to the lovely Nirvana 🙂

[ilyasovich]

Thanks for replying, I tried on other browsers (FireFox, Internet Explorer 11, Opera,…) but no results, I diseabled plugins installed also no results, but I discovered that the Settings’ plugins is ourdated, I tried to update it but here’s what happend

There is a way to update it manually?

[Zed]

I cannot confirm this issue. Saving those fields as empty works fine on my test site.

Try disabling plugins if you have any active or try a different browser.

Either the theme’s Custom Footer Text field or some other means you used to write it the first time.

The (child) theme’s functions.php file is the usual spot to place most custom code.

If that code doesn’t work, you may need to double check if it actually does the task it is supposed to do (are all the identifiers correct? is this code sufficient for the task?)

I had the same issue as Joz. I tried the Cryout Serious plugin as Richard had recommended. Worked like a charm! Thanks, Richard!!

Hello Zed.

If you look at my site originally (http://tipsykat.com/tp/), you can see under the large image I first have my 3 widgets, and then under that are the posts with the first paragraph previewed. (Under Presentation Page in appearance Columns Content is set as “Widget Columns.”

On the current version of the site however, if I select Widget Columns, it will only show the widgets and cut the page off right there (http://goingwiththepitch.com/). I can not get the posts to be displayed under them. When I chose columns content “Latest Posts” I can then get them to preview, but then the widgets only display on my footer.

I am hoping to take the format I have on the first site, and apply it to the 2nd site. I am just not sure what the difference in settings is that is causing the discrepancy.

thanks!

[Patricia]

I had the same problem as you guys. What I have done is using an old tempera version (tempera 1.2.8) that i had in my download folder and I’ve changed the name of the folder inside calling it, for example, “tempira”. That’s because when I tried to reinstall this new theme, the wordPress installer told me that it was already installed.

If you want to try this option with the old tempera version I used it, just write me a message to my email (patriciaherrero85@gmail.com) and I will send it to you! Good Luck!!

[Nancy Gargan]

I have the same problem, mine started a couple days ago when I updated the cryout plugin. Asked for help on Cryout forum but have yet to get a response. Obviously there is a major issue. At first It was just my sliders, but in trying to fix myself I have mangaged to make my entire presentation page disappear and now only Main menu page shows which never showed before and is nothing like what I had or want. I actually run mine on a child page but it screwed up so don’t know that it made a difference as also listed above I believe. I tried resetting tempera settings to default, that has made no difference. I did try to do what Wayne said above going into settings but that did nothing to help the situation. Hopefully I can figure out how to get back to this and see if anyone else has any ideas. I am not a website specialist, I’m just a normal person struggling to figure out how to do all this supposedly easy user friendly website stuff.
