Hi Andrew,

sorry to bother you. Seems I would like to achieve what you did. Have a left-sidebar on my shop page.
I am still putting things together, so it is not “done” yet ( by far)

Question I have for you is:

I am on a Woo Canvas theme, so what you did should work there as well right? ( before I mess things up)

-There is a woocommerce.php in my woocommerce pluging folder…should I modify that one with the code you provided , or?

Thanks for helping put

[Walt]

I think this piece of code in header.php controls that:

<nav id=”access” role=”navigation”>
<?php cryout_access_hook();?>
</nav><!– #access –>

Im having the same issue and I see nobody cared to respond to this so ill try, I have major issues with this, I have tried changing padding to multiple css, and still cant figure out how to remove that pesky white space where the page titles used to be. I am using a child theme as well.

[Andrew]

I figured it out with help from http://www.cryoutcreations.eu/wp_super_faq/e5-is-parabola-compatible-with-woocommerce. I didn’t use the css or functions.php files. I also modified the woocommerce.php file slightly. This allows the left side bar to show on the woo commerce pages. It will only work to show LEFT side bar.
1. create file called woocommerce.php
2. add the below text.
3. Save
4. FTP to /wp-content/themes/nirvana
5. Change shop page template to Two Columns, Sidebar on Left
6. Refresh your shop page.

<?php /*
* Template Name: Woocommerce Left Side Bar
*
* @package Cryout Creations
* @subpackage nirvana
* @since nirvana 0.5
*/
get_header(); ?>
<section id=”container” class=”two-columns-left”>

<div id=”content” role=”main”>
<?php cryout_before_content_hook(); ?> <?php woocommerce_content(); ?> <?php cryout_after_content_hook(); ?>
</div><!– #content –>
<?php get_sidebar(‘left’); ?>
</section><!– #container –>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

I am having the same issue. I cannot get the left sidebar to show on the shop and product pages.
So far I have tried following woothemes suggestion @ http://docs.woothemes.com/document/third-party-custom-theme-compatibility/
***1st Try***
Copied page.php to local drive. changed name to woocommerce.php and ftp to wp-content/themes/nirvana.
Changed shop page to use Two Columns, Side bar on Left template.
Result. Shop page does not show left column and product images are gone. Everything floats to the left.

***2nd Try***
Modified the woocommerce.php from:
<?php
/**
* The template for displaying all pages.
*
* This is the template that displays all pages by default.
* Please note that this is the WordPress construct of pages
* and that other ‘pages’ on your WordPress site will use a
* different template.
*
* @package Cryout Creations
* @subpackage nirvana
* @since nirvana 0.5
*/
get_header();
if ($nirvana_frontpage==”Enable” && is_front_page() && ‘posts’ == get_option( ‘show_on_front’ )): get_template_part( ‘frontpage’ );
else :
?>
<section id=”container” class=”<?php echo nirvana_get_layout_class(); ?>”>

<div id=”content” role=”main”>
<?php cryout_before_content_hook(); ?>

<?php get_template_part( ‘content/content’, ‘page’); ?>

<?php cryout_after_content_hook(); ?>
</div><!– #content –>
<?php nirvana_get_sidebar(); ?>
</section><!– #container –>

<?php
endif;
get_footer();
?>

to:
<?php
/**
* The template for displaying all pages.
*
* This is the template that displays all pages by default.
* Please note that this is the WordPress construct of pages
* and that other ‘pages’ on your WordPress site will use a
* different template.
*
* @package Cryout Creations
* @subpackage nirvana
* @since nirvana 0.5
*/
get_header();
if ($nirvana_frontpage==”Enable” && is_front_page() && ‘posts’ == get_option( ‘show_on_front’ )): get_template_part( ‘frontpage’ );
else :
?>
<section id=”container” class=”<?php echo nirvana_get_layout_class(); ?>”>

<div id=”content” role=”main”>
<?php cryout_before_content_hook(); ?>

<?php woocommerce_content(); ?>

<?php cryout_after_content_hook(); ?>
</div><!– #content –>
<?php nirvana_get_sidebar(); ?>
</section><!– #container –>

<?php
endif;
get_footer();
?>
Now it is showing the product images but left side bar is still not visible.

***3rd Try***
-Copied Two Columns, Sidebar on Left template (template-twocolumns-left.php) to local pc.
-Changed line 3 to ” * Template Name: Woocommerce, Sidebar on the Left” So it will show as a new template.
-Removed <?php get_template_part( ‘content/content’, ‘page’); ?> and used <?php woocommerce_content(); ?> instead.
-Saved as woocommerce-twocolumns-left.php and ftp to wp-content/themes/nirvana
-Changed template for shop page to Woocommerce, Sidebar on Left.
Result: Product and images are showing up but left side bar still is not.
I know I am on the right track but just not sure where to put the <?php woocommerce_content(); ?>

Same problem. Since the last update I’ve lost the excerpt text in my featured images on the presentation page. The title over each image has dropped down followed by …
How do I get the excerpt back? Any ideas?
(I’ve forced refreshed and emptied the cache)

[Lisa Nicholas]

Alright, I found them under Miscellaneous Settings > Import/Export Setting > Color Schemes. Maybe this should be a little easier to find? Perhaps, say, under the Color Settings tab, to give the option of either a pre-configured color scheme or customized one element at a time.

[Marleen]

I am sorry….for this late reaction. Didn’t see your reaction before…

you can see my website on http://ikfietsvooralpedhuzes.nl

You can see the strange icons for example at the metadata of the blog-content And at the submit button of the search bar.

I am an autodidact and farely new to webdesign, so I am not so good at understanding the webdesign terminology, so please keep it simple 😉

Thank you for all the help..

[Valérie]

My home page had no title that’s why the “Missing required field “entry-title”” error was still present. Now everything work fine !

[ejumag]

And i allready tried the tutorial from here for Nirvana:

http://www.cryoutcreations.eu/wordpress-themes/wordpress-tutorials/wordpress-disable-comments-tutorial

the comments are still showing

Running into the same problem. I am using landscape (300×200) and portrait (200×300) images. Post previews set to 300×300. Landscape displays correctly, but portrait is resized (enlarged) to 300×450. Why 450? I defined 300. Changes in post preview size are correctly applied to image width, but height settings are disregarded. I hope for a solution. Any ideas, tips, help welcome.

[Valérie]

Hi Bebs !

Really thank you for your message !

You really helped me.

I added the functions indicated in functions.php and now the “Missing required field “updated”” and “Missing required hCard “author”” errors are corrected 🙂

Unfortunately, I still have the “Missing required field “entry-title”” error and I don’t know why…

If, by chance you (or someone else) know how to correct this…

Anyway, thank you again !

[Jonathan]

I have experienced the same issue. I followed the suggestions here and I am now back up and running. I deactivated all plugins and then activated them one by one. Importantly, I reloaded the page each time I looked at Parobala settings. Similarly, I reloaded the homepage in order to clear out cached pages. Strangely, I have activated all plugins and it’s working OK now. Thanks for the advice.

[Bebs]

Hi Valerie,

I just finished correcting mine but I am using Parabola theme…I found this links to be helpful:

Hi,
I have been having this problem for nearly a year now and still cannot resolve it. I desperately need to change the sliders as we have some major events coming up. I have version 4.0 WordPress and version 1.8.8 of Mantra.

I see an earlier post from Zed said that v1.8.8 was old but my WordPress site is telling me it is the most up to date version of Mantra
Each time I try and change the sliders the boxes do not drop down but just change colour as you hover.
I have tried deactivating all the plugins etc but still cannot fix it.

Does anyone have any ideas?????????????? Aaaaarrrrrgh!!!!!!!

[Zed]

Thanks for pointing that out.
Apparently Google doesn’t like merging font in a single request when subsets are also specified.

We’ll fix this in the next update.

Hi Jane,

This is definitely not a theme or JavaScript error. If it were it would either happen all the time or not at all. Just for testing purposes I’d suggest changing the theme for a little while and see if the issue still occurs.

This is most likely a hosting problem. When it is not working, are you getting any errors or just a blank page. If it is a blank page, right click and select ‘View source’. Is there something there?

I love this theme. I am trying to upload images in the presentation page, but it doesnt give me an option to pick a photo. I click Custom Slides, slide 1, and I click on the select upload image. When I click on that it just brings me to the top of the page. I tried different browsers and I really do not know what else to do.
Thanks!

[kmch]

perfect fix… i deleted the default content, clicked save and now it all works.
so relieved, because i love this theme out-of-the-box… now to see if i still love it!

I came upon the same problem with Nirvana theme and was afraid that would be the answer…

Could you reconsider this, though? I use “full post” with <!–more–> tag on category / archive / main page of my blog, but still use excerpts, too. Here’s why:
1) Excerpts are “picked up” by Facebook as a link description and I have to keep them really short if I want them to appear in full on Facebook.
2) Using <!–more–> gives me much more freedom – I can have relatively long “intros” to my posts, and can have them formatted: divided into short paragraphs, bullet-listed when necessary, hyperlinked (while technically it’s possible for excerpts too, I treat them as plain text, since they’re used by Facebook). Additionaly, text before <!–more–> is actually the very beginning of the article; excerpt can be just about from anywhere, it doesn’t even have to be “excerpt” at all.

So, I can effectively disable excerpts on the blog (and in fact I did), but they’re still usable. Problem is, disabling excerpts disables also featured images. Of course I can insert the manually, but I then I won’t be able to change their size globally (and some time in the future I’ll probably want my main column to be wider, since display resolutions get higher and higher – and I’d have to reformat every single opening picture).

Also, there’s possibly a second aspect: Facebook may be treating featured images with higher priority when fetching the images to accompany a posted link. Now it’s a pain in the neck and I usually have to go through open graph debugger to be able to use the correct picture when posting a link to my facebook fanpage. I was hoping that using featured images would help me with it.

BTW, I couldn’t get my Google Analytics code to work whem pasting it as the theme’s “Custom javascript” (I eventually just copied it into the footer.php). I guess that the reason is that GA is actually two scripts, but the “custom javascript” feature erases all the <script> tags.

PS. Nice theme otherwise : )

Hi Zed,

Thanks for your reply, didn’t see it until just now. It turns out that the IE compatibility option actually fixes this. All good.

Thanks!

[shane]

Ive been working on my website for a few days now and I constantly check the mobile version. The widgets and boxes have stacked perfectly overtime i have checked my mobile device until last night. out of nowhere my header widget (text) now lays on top of my logo. On the the website version I have the Logo aligned on the far left and the header widget on the far right. Im not sure why they are on top of each other when viewing mobile

[Pawel]

I found the function which includes CSS *file* specified in that setting. Description tricked me – it sais ‘Insert your custom CSS here’ so I placed some CSS rules there.

[Steph]

I am having the exact same problem! My preset home page disappeared once I went into the menu section to place my pages in the order that I wanted them. Wait, I tried going into the parabola settings and the enable is on. I am lost and do not know how to get my slider page back? Please, someone help. I loved that page.

[Scott Whittier]

Are there any graphics being displayed below the top most menu where the Facebook icon appears and above the title where “First Congregational Church, Milford NH” appears? That is where the little box appears. Also, the box looks like a broken image icon in Chrome and a simple black box with an X in it in IE. Only Firefox displays cleanly.

TIA

[Scott Whittier]

I have tested it from multiple systems. I see it when using Chrome on 3 different systems and on IE using those systems. I don’t see it when using Firefox. It also appears when browsing the site using Chrome on a Samsung Galaxy 5s.

[Zed]

I don’t see any such placeholder / missing image.

Try viewing your site from a different computer. Perhaps that’s created by some browser extension you have installed.

Delete the sample text in the Custom Footer Text field and see if that solves your saving issue.

I’m experiencing the same stuff as Vitale-

When I change an image and try to “save changes” the botton goes to a 404 error page.
This happen in my page and in a friend page that I recommend this theme
This is not resolved at all.

I have the same problem as described and as we get no response here, I tried to ask for the help on bbpress support forums. I have received an answer that should help developers of the theme into the track on what to change in the theme, to make bbpress work in parabola.

The thread is awailable here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/parabola-theme-profile-bug/

I hope someone from the developers team will read this and make the required changes. Parabola is a great theme and it will be even greater if you can make it work with bbpress installed. 🙂
