As a side note, themes downloaded or installed from WordPress.org are thoroughly checked and tested by a review team before being made available. So you’re on the safe side when using WordPress.org themes. Of course, one can never be too sure 😉

Then I’m guessing my problem lies elsewhere. I’ve set up the Nirvana presentation settings as best as I could, but without any result. There is no slideshow at all. :/

Hi Kay.

OK, you’re right… the problem was the missing ‘sync’ between the pot-file and the translated po-file. 😉

After I opened the translated po-file (inside the PlugIn Loco Translate) and used the “Sync”-Button ,the missing field – and some others – was available…
Thanks for your support.

Regards,
WiSch

I tried just putting in the header but didnt work and google is suggesting the creation of a PHP file but no idea how to do that or what directy it would then live in

[Brett]

Thanks Reena! I just was the same exact question and using the catagories instead of separate pages worked perfectly. So glad I found this now as I’m just building out my site. Would have been much harder to change later. 🙂

I have reproduced this error:

Env:
WP 4.0 (clean install on linux)
Nirvana 0.9.5.1 (taken from SVN a few hours after checkin!)

Reproduce:
In any browser (IE11 or Chrome 39.0.2159.4 canary (64-bit) or normal Chrome release)
Open WP admin
Install Nirvana and activate style
Go to Appearance/Nirvana Settings
The settings page is shown but the accordion will not work (nothing expands)

Diagnosis:
[A similar issue has been raised on Parabola http://www.cryoutcreations.eu/forums/t/a-problem-with-your-wordpress-jquery-library that has very similar code to Nirvana]

In this case there is an error on the admin.js script (I think caused by something not loading correctly) where wp is defined but wp.media is not – so you are reading through a null reference.

_orig_send_attachment = wp.media.editor.send.attachment

Hack:
I have proven this to be the issue because I took this whole function out of the jQuery.ready function and now the settings accordion works and I can actually set things!

This is NOT the correct fix but I offer it as the only way I can get it working. Over to you guys to correct properly as only you can!

Many thanks for a great theme!

jQuery(document).ready(function() {

var uploadparent = 0;
function media_upload( button_class) {
// var _custom_media = true,
// _orig_send_attachment = wp.media.editor.send.attachment;
// jQuery(‘body’).on(‘click’,button_class, function(e) {
// uploadparent = jQuery(this).closest(‘div’);
// var button_id =’#’+jQuery(this).attr(‘id’);
// /* console.log(button_id); */
// var self = jQuery(button_id);
// var send_attachment_bkp = wp.media.editor.send.attachment;
// var button = jQuery(button_id);
// var id = button.attr(‘id’).replace(‘_button’, ”);
// _custom_media = true;
// wp.media.editor.send.attachment = function(props, attachment){
// if ( _custom_media ) {
// jQuery(‘.custom_media_id’).val(attachment.id);
// uploadparent.find(‘.slideimages’).val(attachment.url);
// uploadparent.find(‘.imagebox’).attr(‘src’,attachment.url);
// jQuery(‘.custom_media_image’).attr(‘src’,attachment.url).css(‘display’,’block’);
// } else {
// return _orig_send_attachment.apply( button_id, [props, attachment] );
// }
// }
// wp.media.editor.open(button);
// return false;
// });
}

Actually, an even better question:

I want to create a template that simply pulls a specific category for the page. I remember doing it for Parabola, but can’t seem to find the template anymore.

This is the template coding:

<?php /*
Template Name: News Template ( Posts Page)
*/ ?>

<?php get_header(); ?>

		<section id="container" class="<?php echo nirvana_get_layout_class(); ?>">
			<div id="content" role="main">
			<?php cryout_before_content_hook(); ?>
	

	<?php 
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$the_query = new WP_Query( 'post_status=publish&orderby=date&order=desc&posts_per_page='.get_option('posts_per_page').'&paged=' . $paged);?>

		<?php if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : 

				 /* Start the Loop */ 
				 while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); 
					 global $more; $more=0; 
					 get_template_part( 'content/content', get_post_format() ); 

				 endwhile; 

				if($nirvana_pagination=="Enable") nirvana_pagination($the_query->max_num_pages); else nirvana_content_nav( 'nav-below' );

			 else : ?>

				<article id="post-0" class="post no-results not-found">
					<header class="entry-header">
						<h1 class="entry-title"><?php _e( 'Nothing Found', 'nirvana' ); ?></h1>
					</header><!-- .entry-header -->

					<div class="entry-content">
						<p><?php _e( 'Apologies, but no results were found for the requested archive. Perhaps searching will help find a related post.', 'nirvana' ); ?></p>
						<?php get_search_form(); ?>
					</div><!-- .entry-content -->
				</article><!-- #post-0 -->

			<?php endif; ?>

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

<?php get_footer(); ?>

Hi,

Sorry, this is a bug created in 0.9.5 due to some code changes. The new 0.9.5.1 update will have this fixed. It has been uploaded for review but that may take a while. Until then you can download it from here https://wordpress.org/themes/download/nirvana.0.9.5.1.zip?nostats=1 and manually install it.

Sorry for the inconvenience!

I don’t believe so.

But this wouldn’t be a theme issue, this would be a wordpress issue.

[Patrick]

Apparently there is a conflict with the plugin “W3 Total Cache”. I deactivated it, and the presentation page worked on ie. I then reactivated it, and the presentation page went blank again. The presentation page was working with W3 Total Cache before updating.

[Mark Wickham]

Hi,
I have the same issue when I check my website on my mobile and tap menu It redirects to a search page saying not found, tap again and see the menu briefly before it disappears. Any ideas on how I rectify?
Many Thanks

Mark

[Cliff]

My slider is down as well, And I tried both refreshing methods 🙁

[Kay]

You are awesome! Plugins are evil. Themes are transcendental entities. Talking with yourself is the best way to get to know yourself.

Good luck!

Hi guys,

In order for us to be able to debug these type of issues we need a bit more feedback.

First, always mention what Mantra and WordPress versions you’re using (and generally make sure you’re using the latest of both). Then, disable all your plugins and check the theme settings page then. In 99.99% of the cases it’s a faulty plugin’s fault that causes this, loading JavaScript on our theme’s settings page when it shouldn’t.

After having checked this, post a message here, detailing the Mantra and WP versions, the fact that you have disabled all plugins for a moment and checked the theme settings then, when the issues first occurred and what else you’ve tried doing to fix this.

Hi Tom,

We’ve tested this and we didn’t get the same results you did. Everything worked smooth. Could you try switching to another theme (Twenty-something) and see if you’re experiencing the same results?

There is a Link field in the Cryout Columns widget. Just paste the page’s link there. Also, next time, start a new thread if your post is not on topic.

Could you provide a working link to your site so we could give you the exact CSS code?

Generally, you shouldn’t edit theme files directly. You can either use child themes, or the Custom CSS field under Miscellaneous Settings. Try adding this to your Custom CSS field:

.nivo-caption {
top:40px !important; //positioning
left:40px !important; //positioning
width:25% !important; //width
}

Hi Terri,

Where exactly on the front page did you try putting the text? Slider, columns, extra text fields?

Even if the site is live you can change the theme for a couple of seconds, especially during low traffic hours. It’s the simplest and easiest way to tell if it’s the theme that’s causing the load or not. Switch to Twenty-Fourteen, check your loading time, switch back to Tempera. Nobody will notice 😉

I checked my Header settings and my header logo that I have uploaded displays across all pages but the background that I have added only displays on the front page. I would like for this line of custom CSS
background: url(wp-content/uploads/2014/08/diamond_upholstery1.png) repeat;
to display acorss all pages. I am talking about the diamond shapes that display behind my logo. I tried using .page-id 234 in front of that code and no luck. The bottom border displays but not that background image. Can you tell me where I am going wrong? Thanks so much!

[martin]

After a WP 4.0 update, I tried the Parabola 1.4 upgrade again,

but the same problem,

and several people have reported this problem,

but no help other than clear your cache, or try again has been offered,

🙁

[Selvam]

I have issues with li and ol tags and posted a thread here. http://wordpress.org/support/topic/issues-with-wordpress-4?replies=1

[Bernhard]

Problem solved. I use additional web fonts and when I upgraded to Parabola 1.4 they had to be added again, of course. Well, apparently when I did so I accidentally replace the new “fontfaces.css” file with the old one which didn’t include the CSS for the new “elusive” font for mobile view. Happy again! Thankyou for your attention and thank you for this great theme!

[Bernhard]

Problem still persists, but I think it has to do with the non-scalable menu-items. Everything else shrinks in mobile view but not the menu items. Still need help, though. Regards, Bernhard

[Martin Craig]

Update: I deleted the “Primary Navigation” and rebuilt it. It failed again, but I did manage to get a few more pages added before it did. I also tried two other “cryoutcreations” themes to see if I get the same result, I did unfortunately.

Could it be the navigation editor causing the problem, is there is a way to circumvent it?

[Laura]

I am having the same issue trying to use Category Grid View plugin. I want bullets in my posts, but not in my pages showing my category grid. I know that the bullets are an image. But I have no idea how to remove them only from the plugin pages and not from all my posts. I hope someone can post an answer to this.

[Mary Ann Aschenbrenner]

I have not tried switching to another theme as this site is live. I am not using a css plugin and only modified the css in the Tempera Theme Settings and Edit CSS provided by WordPress.
Does modifying css in both places create a conflict that requires additional load time?

[mrpatel]

Hello kay,
Thanks for your support.elecon.staging.wpengine.com/resistors/calculate-resistance-using-colour-codes. There is an image in the top-left corner of the page. It contains caption and a link to the photographers profile. That image is having kinda greyish layer starting from bottom. Due to that, the caption and the link looks really appealing. I want to achieve the same thing with the images in sidebar. I want to use such images to create links to similar pages on my website.I really hope to receive help from you Kay. 🙂
Regards
Mrpatel

@Steven Your site is working great now.

@Fanny you added extra text to the theme in the wrong place and that causes javascript to fail.

This is the text:
<a href="http://www.vivement-les-vacances.com" title="Sélection des meilleures offres de colonies de vacances et de séjours pour enfants et adolescents" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.vivement-les-vacances.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Logo-100x75.jpg" alt="Sélection des meilleures offres de colonies de vacances et de séjours pour enfants et adolescents">

Please reinstall a fresh copy of the theme or remove any custom edits like this one.
