Hi Mickie

If you dont want to update the presentation pages options with your own information then here are my answers to your questions.

Question 1.
If you don’t want the slider to show at all, then if you go to Presentation Page settings and set the slider dimensions both to “0” zero. To remove the text then that will be in the Extra Text area at the bottom of the Presentation page settings.
Question 2.
In the presentation page settings go to Columns Content and select disabled if you don’t wish anything to show.

I hope this helps and does what you need

Please, I need help. I’ve read the forum questions and found replies to questions similar to mine. But, if my life depended on it, I couldn’t get this Presentation page to show without the demo.

Situation:
When the Presentation Page is enabled, the Demo shows at the top. My recent posts show at the bottom of the page, just like I’d like to see them. That part looks fine.

My questions are:
1) Is there a simple way to turn off the demo without messing up the presentation at the bottom? If so, how?
2) Do I still have to go to Widgets, Presentation Page Columns and drag over the Cryout Columns widget, even though my posts are presented very nicely in two columns at the bottom of the Presentation Page? I’m just afraid any changes I make in this area will create a mess beyond the expertise of my noobie skills.

So, I’ve disabled the Presentation Page until I can get help.

Thanks to all in advance.

Hi,
I found this template easy to get my initial changes made after installation. I do have to research how to get the Presentation page setup. Also, there are some minor things I need to get corrected.

But all in all, I’m pleased with my efforts today. See them here: http://www.mickiesherwood.com/blog

The FAQ has a child theme available for download that works with WooCommerce; have you tried that? I too am interested in how well it works as I need to add WooCommerce to a site in the next couple of weeks.

[jrwills]

Well lookee here! Tried another template with the same results. Appears to be a Firefox issue. Will try to find an answer. If anyone else has resolved this, would appreciate a heads up.

[Wm Biedron]

I would also like to do this without editing the code. Does anyone know what text setting affects the column heading text size? I think I’ve tried them all.

[Robert]

I don’t have a slide option. This is way to completed. i have tried putting the cryout column on the right and it did not work.

[Emelie]

Jim,

Worked perfectly!
Thank you so very much!

Hi Sylvie

If you go to Presentation Page Setting you can disable posts from showing on the front page.

I hope this helps

You are using a caching/minifying plugin which is joining all styling into one single file. This is breaking the theme’s responsiveness.
Disable minification for CSS files or exclude the style-mobile.css file from this process (so it is applied last).

Wordpress has no way of knowing which links you clicked on to get to that post, so it displays the first category (alphabetically) in which the post is found.

Posts shouldn’t be placed in several categories if you care about what your breadcrumbs display. Try this plugin and see if it helps you in any way.

Dropdowns don’t matter in establishing a page hierarchy. The specific page needs to be a child of a parent page for the parent page to appear in the breadcrumbs.

This parent page can be set when creating/editing the theme in the rightmost options.

Hi Emelie

I think this could be what you need, if you are just looking to display text only. Try copying and pasting this into your custom CSS.

#access > .menu > ul > li > a > span {
border-left: 0px solid #E1E1E1;
border-right: 0 none;
box-shadow: -1px 0 0 #FFFFFF;
}

I hope it helps

[Merrillie]

I have tried that but it then ads another block above my posts with the featured image. I would rather not do that.

[Riana Zaayman]

Whoo-hoo!! Jim, you are my hero!! The solution – so simple, yet so effective :-). I’ve been grappling with this for many hours, and I just overlooked the simple things and tried the hard ones. In my non-programmer mind, enabling posts and having a search bar showing were not related. In hindsight it is so obvious! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Have a wonderfully awesome day!

[Jim]

Hi Carole

The text for the column images is within each of the cryout column widgets that you add onto the presentation page. Within each cryout column widget there are fields for the image, title, text and link.

I hope this is what you mean and helps

I don’t know Mantra, but I assume it is similar to Tempera, so…

As far as I know, when you have the presentation page enabled, it effectively becomes your new home-page. So when you click a link to your normal homepage, what you get is the presentation page instead. So the solution, until someone else replies ;), would be to put a link to your homepage in your top menu.

Hi. I can’t seem to remove the search bar and the “Nothing Found
Apologies, but no results were found for the requested archive. Perhaps searching will help find a related post.” text above it. I did go into the widget area and dragged it out of the footer area and I’ve selected “inactive widgets”. Now I have a widget that says “search” on the left hand side with the “add” button next to it, nothing that says “search” in any of the sidebars or footer areas on the right hand side of the page and at the bottom I have “Inactive Widgets” that says “search” below the text. By my website still displays it at the bottom of the page.

I am not a programmer, nor do I understand it. But in my searches I came upon info, so I tried it out by applying my own logic to it :-). In the editor I went to style.css and replaced the word “block” with “none” in 4 places. That removed the search bar, but the text still remained. I found the text in archive.php, but I did not know how to delete it without messing up the template.

Please, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Dear Kay,

This is amazing speedy reply.
I respect the support.
Will be spreading the word and would surely buy the premium once my site is done.
regarding the bread crumb
http://studiononsequitur.com/sampling-research-and-development/

this page is a drop down from “our services”
in the breadcrumb it shows as the link from home page.
should it not show home>our services>sampling research and development.

and thanks again for all the help and support.

Hi!

This seems to be a browser issue. If I tried to access the URL of one of those images I got this:

http://cdn3.gettingthingstech.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/titanium1.png

Please have a read here http://www.webmasterworld.com/graphics_multimedia/3287801.htm and basically make sure your images are RGB and not CMYK.

Good luck!

There is a much easier way to solve this issue. Just make sure the field to the right of the Social Media selection is completely blank. If even a # is in that field the icons will display, if it’s empty they don’t display

[Wayfarer]

Hi Chris

Have you tried maybe uninstalling and reinstalling Tempera?

Good luck!

[Stephen P Brown]

I have the same problem.

This is embarrassing! It’s worked GREAT for years, but all of a sudden I’m getting emails telling how crap and ancient my site it because it doesn’t work.

I LOVE Mantra! It isn’t crap and it isn’t old – it’s great! Lots of compliments regarding the desktop version, but if the responsive menus don’t work…. not good.

🙁

Please respond.

[Kathleen Gilligan]

Hi, Folks. I have a similar problem with the Parabola theme. It suddenly just went unresponsive. I posted my topic in the Parabola forum over a week ago, but with no response, so I will try here.
The responsiveness feature has always worked fine as tested in my Kindle’s Silk browser and a colleague’s Android phone. Responsiveness survived my recent update to WordPress 3.8.1, as well.
I had not made any significant changes to the site since it was responsive, except for disabling some little used plugins, and reassembling a few more posts.
I tested it here: (Peter, if you don’t have a mobile device for testing, try this) http://www.mobilephoneemulator.com/ in some emulated browsers. It was not responsive in any of these simulations.
WHAT I HAVE DONE TO TROUBLESHOOT:
I ran through Zed’s troubleshooter as a guide http://www.cryoutcreations.eu/forums/t/minimal-step-by-step-tutorial-for-debugging-bugsissuesincompatibilities
And took the following steps:
Made sure responsiveness is enabled (it is)
Updated to the latest version of Parabola v1.3.3
Updated all plugins
Disabled all plugins (no change)
Reenabled plugins
Switched to 2014 theme (still unresponsive)&
Tested again at : http://www.mobilephoneemulator.com/
Switched back to Parabola
I don’t think I have any caching plugins to deal with.
I tried a debugging plugin which errors indicated that I need to update php from 5.2-5.3, and that one of my plugins has an undefined variable for the install date. But these errors were likely present when responsiveness was working.

None of this made any difference, except that disabling the plugins and switching themes broke the website. The majority of my theme customizations are focused on replacing the topmenus with side menus, and adding some sliders for photos in order to replicate the look of the original Joomla website http://www.seahec.org (I converted from Joomla to WP)

So, having exhausted those steps, what might be the next steps? I would appreciate any guidance people could offer.
Olivia, your comment sounds intriguing:
“my host automatically redirects visitors using mobile devices to a nonexistent mobile site. I made it so the redirect wouldn’t happen again, and now it looks great!”

How did you find that out and accomplish fixing the redirect? If I knew what to do, I would look into your suggestion.

Thank you.

[George]

Thank you for response Kay. I tried the code you suggested and the image is not visible. I inserted the the code for the tiled background image and that works fine. Any other suggestions?

[Natalee Cooper]

View is fine on my computer using Firefox browser but on my laptop it cuts out right side of my header and widget. It is full screen width can I bring in the template width?

[ccggrower1]

I have widget areas in my sidebar with rounded corners on the inside only. Aren’t they supposed to be rounded on both sides? How do I fix this? Just installed Mantra and am liking it so far – easy to understand for a non-techie and saved me from IE errors I was getting using a previous theme. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

[Mike Russell]

FYI, I rolled back to 0.9.8. I tried deactivating my caching plugin, then reinstalling 0.9.9, but it still had the header issue. So I’ve just rolled back to 0.9.8 and will stay there until the next version.

But I do hope you manage to fix it, as it does not appear to just be me (or my caching plugin).

[Mike Russell]

Yeah, right after I posted this I thought of that, too. So, I cleared all caches but it’s still an issue.

And just now I even tried deactivating my cache plugin and that made no difference either. Header is still not working.
