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

Hi Chris

Have you tried maybe uninstalling and reinstalling Tempera?

Good luck!

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.

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.

[Juan Manuel Saenz]

Bingo!

Jim, Kay: many thanks for your nice help! Now it works awesomely: I’ve merged the two solutions, incorporating Kay’s code into the CSS previously written by Jim, and arranging a bit the layout to improve the final look.

Thank you, my friends!

[Kay]

Hi guys!

The easiest thing right now would be to add the following to the CSS declaration Jim gave:

-moz-box-sizing:border-box;
-webkit-box-sizing:border-box;
box-sizing:border-box;

Remember to keep it all within the same declaration, so paste this before the final closing bracket.

Hi,

I have tempera v0.99.
According to the instructions I set “Poiret+One&subset=latin-ext” in the “Tempera Settings/TEXT SETTINGS/POST TITLE FONT” field.
It does not work.

I have found a working solution, but it is very ugly.
I set only “Poiret+One” in the “Tempera Settings/TEXT SETTINGS/POST TITLE FONT” field.
I edit wp-content/themes/tempera/includes/theme-styles.php and put .”&subset=latin-ext” in the corresponding wp_register_style(). So the line is the following:
if($tempera_googlefonttitle) wp_register_style( ‘tempera_googlefonttitle’, esc_attr(“//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=”.preg_replace( ‘/\s+/’, ‘+’,$tempera_googlefonttitle ).”&subset=latin-ext”));
It works perfectly and shows the latin extended characters (e.g. Hungarian)

Could you fix Tempera theme so we can use it without this ugly work around.

Thanks!

[Kay]

Hi guys!

Although we may not always reply, we are carefully listening 😉 So the columns aspect ratio changing on responsive view has been hopefully fixed as of version 0.9.9. Please update and let us know if everything’s okay now.

That’s EXACTLY what I needed 🙂 !!!

Heartfelt thanks, my friend!

Hi Jim,

If you scroll to the bottom of this page and hover over a pagination number, you will see a big green box that hides the number http://www.therealmusic.net/reviews-trm/

I’ve changed the accent colours as well as the link colours but the box itself doesn’t change colour.

I’ve managed to change the colour of the number but that changes every link on the site which is not what I want.

Thanks

Francois

[Francois]

Hi Jim,

Tried changing all the accent colours, the hover colours and everything, nothing changes the colour of the box over the pagination.

[Dexter!]

And nevermind…it looks like it fixed itself. I will admit to being young and impatient, but it was having this issue for the 3 hours I was editing and when I logged out and checked, it was fine…I guess I will try that a few more times next time. So nevermind people! Thanks anyway!

[Alanna]

I’m having the same problem. It’s making the theme uneditable. It took so long to find a theme I really enjoyed, too. I tried opening the dashboard on multiple web browsers, as well. Any wise words of advise would be WONDERFUL.

[David]

I tried editing mantra-child/includes/theme-frontpage.php but it didn’t change anything on the presentation page – I would ASSUME that it should.

[David]

I’m pretty much a WordPress newbie, so anything I offer may be wrong. Nonetheless, I wanted to make a change to the presentation page layout and found, within my mantra-child directory, an ‘includes’ directory containing theme-frontpage.php. ‘includes’ did not contain any other files, but if edits to includes/theme-frontpage.php would work, I’d THINK you could duplicate theme-function.php there.

However, when I edited theme-frontpage.php, it didn’t result in any changes to the site, so…?

[Jim]

Hi

Within the presentation page settings you can set slides to display latest posts, random posts or sticky posts. I don’t use posts on slider but I have just tried it out and it worked for me. I created an image the same proportions as the slider and set it as the featured image in a test post.

I hope this helps

Jim…

[Zazzy]

I thought the slider was supposed to be able to show recent posts. The latest post option does not give the custom slide settings. I did try deactivating all plugins – but really I don’t have much going yet since I’m still working on the layout.

On Mantra, the slider at least tries to show the posts. On Tempera, nothing shows at all. I like both of these themes and perhaps I will end up just using the slider for images I particularly like – or maybe I will find another theme that does a slider or gallery of recent posts.

Thank you for trying to help.

[Jim]

Hi

They are just in the demo, to set your own up you need to first set how many columns wide you want to have on the home page by going to presentation page setting and setting the columns number.

You then need to go to widgets and drag the Cryout column widgets into the presentation page area. Here is where you load images, titles, descriptions and links. SO say you want a similar 6 images then you set columns to 3 and as soon as the first row is full /(ie 3 across) it will go to next line.

I hope this makes sense and helps

Jim…

@Jim:
You wrote:
“you could create an image to say something like “Read latest posts” and then set that image to link to you blog”.

I’m using Parabola Presentation Page as landing page and under “Read Setup” on WordPress the Home page shown as Last Posts. (I tried to change to static page but Presentation page disappear). Is it possible to set Presentation Page as static? I don’t think so.

So now I don’t understand which is the link to my blog because I can’t set a page to it (You can’t select any pages if “start page shown” is set to “Latest Posts”.
I would to link an image on the column to blog (because in there I’ll put news) but I miss the link (it seems that my blog IS the presentation page, or not?).
Thanks in advance, sorry but english is not my language

I did find a link somewhere that it is a feature of wordpress that requires HTML is stripped out from text boxes on the presentation page.

Cori I followed the instructions below, got confused and nearly delted the site – for once I backed up!

http://www.cryoutcreations.eu/parabola/parabola-faqs

C20. I want to add my own HTML to the presentation page / Why is my custom HTML stripped?
The theme uses WordPress’ built-in sanitation function to strip potentially harmful HTML data. Each field in the settings uses the wp_kses_data() function to sanitize user inputed content. (WordPress Codex has a good explanation concerning sanitation usage)

This is required for the theme to achieve approval by the WordPress theme reviewing team.

For a list of (default) accepted HTML tags and attributes, see the header of WordPress’ kses.php file.

This default behaviour can be overridden using plugins, theme or WordPress modding.

As far as modding the theme is concerned, you can edit the theme/admin/sanitize.php file and inside the [..]_options_validate() function you can remove the wp_kses_data() processing on every field you wish to remove the sanitation from (the field names are pretty much self explanatory).

[Jeff]

Also, I just put in “Connect” to the menu bar and it’s at that elevated level. I tried taking out the code (going back to the arrow) and it’s still at that elevated level. I tried it with the first round of code and it’s still high too. Ahhh.

[Stev]

Found the problem. I needed to set any page as the homepage even though it wasn’t going to appear. Wierd
