Updating Tempera shouldn’t erase any of your layout settings. This is from the Tempera FAQ page:

D. Updates

▶ D1. Are my hard-worked settings kept during an update?

Theme settings (together with the Custom CSS and Custom JS field contents) are kept during updates.
File modifications (changes to style.css, to theme files or newly added files) in the theme folder are lost on update (this is default WordPress behaviour).

Consider using the custom CSS / JS fields or resorting to child themes for your extra customizations.

Important note: Since you can never have enough backups – and just to be on the safe side – use the Export Settings button (in theme settings) to save a complete backup of all theme settings before updating.

Updating your theme is quite simple. In your WordPress dashboard, go to Appearance > Themes. Any themes that have updates available will display an alert banner. Click on the theme you want to upgrade and click on “update now.”

Just remember to backup your site before you attempt to update it.

Update: I also tried Parabola and the frontpage works as usual, but whenever I try accessing another page or post, it goes to the defaced page. It works just fine with Mantra, though…

Later Update: When I change the theme to a stardard worpress theme, it only shows the defaced page… I can’t access any other page.

I am confused… please help!

The custom CSS had nothing to do with this issue.
You have a plugin that is overlapping Parabola’s colour selector functionality, messing up the colour codes. You need to figure out which one it is and disable it (at least while editing Parabola’s settings).

In some cases the plugin adds an extra colour selector when clicking the colour field (beside the theme’s colour selector) so if you’re getting this, use it to identify which plugin is the cause (the second selector should disappear when the plugin in question is disabled).

Check the colour codes, they should all start with #. If they don’t, add back the hash sign to each code after disabling the problematic plugin.

Found!
the problem has been solved inactivating the plug-in “WP-SpamShield”.
That plugin has something weird on a js that remains 5-6 secs “thinking” before showing the next page.

Now everything works fine!

Thanks again!

I copied and pasted the code provided by karl:
http://pastebin.com/0PtSbjFT

No deal, it doesn’t work for me.

Is there something I’m missing here?

Still the product is in category 1 2 & 3.

If the customer gets to the product via Category 3, the breadcrumb still shows category 1.

I’m too curious about the possibility of having the presentation page in multiple languages. For example, using the WPGlobus plugin like the previous poster creates example.com/language/ page which could server as a homepage in an additional language. The question is how to populate it with the separate content.
Any experience with other plugins?

Thanks

It is a browser security limitation. You are browsing your site from one URL while WordPress believes it is installed on a (slightly) different one and tries to load fonts from there.

Same problem here. Multiple clients running Tempera are having the post meta appear in duplicate on single page view. In particular, Date and Category.

Hi,

So recapping an earlier bug report.
Using the customizer to edit the text in a text widget located in the 3rd footer area of Tempera 1.3 generates an extra footer social media icon.
The icon is un-editable, contains no content, and if you max out the five total icons it will still appear as a sixth.

The error occurs when adding a hyperlink to the text widget in order to link out to a facebook page.
This is what is used.

<a href="https://www.facebook.com/winghamfarms">Follow us on Facebook <a/>

THe extra icon immediately appears if this hyperlink text is used in the text widget. It dissapears again if it is removed.
Using <br> causes no issues.

I will most likely be able to solve this issue using a short code.

Thanks,

Sami

The WP Ajax Edit Comments plugin is adding some invisible HTML elements on top of the comment form, which overlap the name field, making it unreachable with the mouse.

Add this custom CSS to correct this:
body #aec_edit_options { float: left; }

The slider captions are designed to overlap the slider images in Parabola (and they jump below the slide images on small mobile devices).
You are using a particular slider image size / slider size configuration to make the captions appear below the image, but depending on the size of the screen being viewed on, the captions may or may not still overlap the slider images.

Unfortunately with site-wide issues the problem needs to be fixed before the next update can be installed when it becomes available.

I recommend completely deleting the theme folder (using the hosting account’s file manager or a FTP client) – wp-content/themes/tempera then manually installing the previous theme version with https://downloads.wordpress.org/theme/tempera.1.2.6.zip

I could solve the Problem with the help of another user. Three plugins caused the additional bullets: Huge IT Image Gallery, Huge IT Portfolio Gallery, Huge IT Slider. These are not compatible with nivarna theme. So I have tried to disable each one cheking after if the problem was still there. I found a compareable slider with NextGEN Gallery by Photocrati.
Now everything works great. 🙂

Just a note that my server WAS running PHP 5.3 when I updated the Tempera theme. Regardless of this, the update seems to have deleted the entire site (all I see are white pages). My web host tried PHP 5.4 but that didn’t fix anything either.

[Felice]

My client is having the same issue. She said this happened after she updated to the latest version of WordPress. Any ideas from anyone?

[Luke Skywalker]

I am going to play devils advocate for a second. Sorry, Zed, I am not speaking for you, but I am going to try to help.

First the solution, or how I resolved the parse error.

Follow the file path folks. Sue F has it sitting right there(Sue I would not be so quick to show complete file path with the your name in it. Start at public html if you have to and then paste).
Go to your server files, however you typically access them, and follow the file path. Find line 99. That is the issue, and there is a solution in the other thread marked solved. I have not tried that as of yet, so not sure if it will work. If it does not, then I suppose I will fix it. How I will fix it? I have no idea because, I have really very limited coding skills. Nor do I really understand how all of this crazy internet stuff works. But I do know how to copy and paste into google. I may have to modify and change my search but somewhere, somehow, google knows.

What I did to fix it was delete line 99. This gave me access to my admin, although not at first. Not sure why, but it did not, and I just kept trying things. Crazy things I would have been scared to try before. This is the key to all of this, I did this because I know I have a backup. If you do not have backups then not sure what to tell you, except you have to create backups. I use updraft, and used it for the first time to restore my website after this. This means I learned something, when your site breaks turn it to a positive. I did have to gain access to admin, which I said was done through trial and error. I, by no means am suggesting you go changing all your files as if you know what you are doing, but look carefully for the answer. It is there and make the changes. Of course you can contact your host, and they can probably help as well.

See this is the thing, and once again, I am not speaking for Zed. I am doing this because I asked a really dumb question of a theme developer once. No this is not a dumb question at all, website’s are broken and that is not cool. See he never answered and I was angry, well a little while later, I just happened to find the answer, and boy did I feel dumb. Now I understood why this developer did not take the time out of his really busy schedule, writing all this insane code so we can use his stuff. Because it was up to me to figure that out. Sure we have to have them fix things, this is only natural. Zed posted in the other thread that it was related to a server issue. We can all meet at some coffee shop and discuss how that should not happen, but you know what it did. It is not up to them to hold our hand in every time there is a problem. Things just happen folks, things that are out of their control. My son’s phone had to be reset during moblegeddon, why? Because google screwed up. Do you know how smart those people are? Code breaks things, it just happens.

If you are going to have a website then, you must accept the fact that with great power comes great responsibility. Google it folks, duck duck go it even. Somewhere there are ways to figure out the answers, that we are responsible for.

I do not know what Zed thinks, but I am guessing he truly cares about his craft and he does all he can to help us. There are just some things he cannot do, because if he did then we would not be living with Nirvana

Look on the bright side young padawan, you found out what order 66 meant a few years ago. Now today you will learn what line 99 means. FYI, there are a gazillion line 99’s out there, we must maintain our focus, as any jedi would.

May the Force be with you

I’ve tried PHP 5.2, 5.3 and 5.4. All have the same error. 5.3 has the same error but it is trigger by fewer functions.

[Greener]

Because of this error I can’t access the web page to log in any more. Please get this fixed. ASAP as my posts can’t be viewed. Is there any other way I can log in please?

[Oleg]

stopping you an accurate listing of parameters in this piece of code:

( is_tax( array( ‘product_cat’, ‘product_tag’ ) )

—delete the array (current transfer)—

( is_tax() )

[Chris Williams]

I had disabled WP Super Cache and still experienced the same behavior. The workaround I implemented was to re-enable it, but set the cache timeout to 15 seconds. Firefox still insists on loading cached versions even after I delete temporary Internet files, but my hack works in Chrome so at least I can see my changes while I’m trying to customize the theme.

[Zed]

What you are describing is controlled by the Photo Frames option (also present in the presentation page settings, after the one you’ve already tried out).

The Column Display option controls how the column content is displayed only, does not apply to the frames/skews.

Custom CSS sometimes needs to be more specific (because of the order different styles are applied). When a rule doesn’t work, add body in front of the selector. If even that fails, try adding !important to the rule (but try not to overuse !important).

OptimizePress is a paid/subscription plugin.
We cannot purchase all plugins out there just to run tests with them.

If the OptimizePress team identified the conflict and is willing to give us information about it, we’ll try to fix this even if we cannot test the fix.

After reading your post @karl, I tried, but this wasn’t working for me. I bought the Perfectseourl plugin two days ago hoping its all okay, and yesss it works! Haha.. Can’t explain how happy we are with our shop now! It wasn’t cheap, but seems like the best solution we tried the last months.. Even after updating, to the latest version 2.3.13 all perfect!

[Nancy Gargan]

So I have an update. I kept playing trying to do anything to get sliders to work. I think I may have found the problem. On the presentation page I had set the ‘show posts on presentation page’ to 10 and when I added my posts it made my total number of posts more then 10. When I changed this to 14 wahlaaa! the sliders and posts show up. I did notice when it was not working at the bottom of the posts was a page 1 page 2 block set. When I tried clicking on them yesterday it went nowhere. Today with the higher post number it is gone.

So I think my question for help now revolves around “Why will it not just use the 10 most recent posts on the presentation page, and keep the slider intact and working? I don’t necessarily want every post I ever create on the presentation page.”

Thus, Can someone please offer some advice and help I would greatly appreciate it?
Thanks!

[SK]

Because there are 3 inquiries here with no response, I think I might be wasting my time asking about it yet again … but I would like to add some items that are NOT in your list. How do I do that? I can find their little icons, but I find no way of implementing them.

For the most part, this theme is excellent, but there are some slightly minor issues that make it a real pain sometimes. The selection of available social media is one of them.

Thanks for your attention to this question and for letting us ALL know how to move forward with our social media links using your theme(s).

Sorry if this is a duplicate post. I just tried adding to my most from earlier and I think the forums choked on it, which is good because i royally botched the code blocks. Here it is again, and if this one sticks and I botch them again, i apologize.

As a quick follow up, i think i found the problem. You do not need to be calling the @media for all three of the tests. I think (and you should do your own research as well) that by doing so you have malformed the the OR list.

Right now you have this written:

@media (max-width: 1280px) and (min-resolution: 1ddpx), 
@media (max-width: 1280px) and (min-resolution: 96dpi),
@media (max-width: 1280px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ration: 1) {

And I think the proper way to form the intended query is like this:

@media (max-width: 1280px) and (min-resolution: 1ddpx), 
	(max-width: 1280px) and (min-resolution: 96dpi),
	(max-width: 1280px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 1) {

I hope this helps

Further research into this and here is what you need to do….

You can in fact use CSS minification but to keep Tempera behaving on mobile without getting crushed as in my above instance, your CSS minifier plugin must have a option to allow you to specify which CSS files to NOT minify. If it does, put the following in that option list….

http://YOURDOMAIN/wp-content/themes/tempera/styles/style-mobile.css

Replace YOURDOMAIN with your website domain. Then Tempera will behave as it was designed on different devices but you will also get the benefits of CSS minification of the other Tempera CSS files.

The style-mobile.css file is Tempera’s handling of responding to different devices. Though not a true mobile layout it still presents well. I personally use a mobile theme plugin on my site but also wish to allow visitors to see the desktop version.

This is for those that have advanced knowledge of web publishing and SEO.

Hi,
I seem to be having a problem similar to the one described by the OP, which was supposedly fixed awhile back. The “read more” button does not appear for the first slide in the slider, and the dimensions of the slider are also much shorter for that slide. The other four slides look fine. I thought perhaps it was because the photo was the wrong size, but I have tried setting different photos as the featured image and get the same result. Any ideas?
