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.

Jim:

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:
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
Ciao

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

[Jim]

Hi Jeff

Yes looks correct, have you to a site link I can take a quick look at for you.

After you pasted the code into that box did you save the settings and do a refresh of the site? I tried it on mine and it seemed to work OK

Cheers

Sorry – your suggestions do not work.

My social media setting fields are all totally blank (they only had a # in there anyway).

The Social Media Settings in Tempura settings does not effect what is on the page. Only around the edge of the page (ie footer, right, etc). I actually want the social media icons to appear in those areas. But what is happening is that the icons are appearing after the text on every page. ie immediately after any text you happen to enter.

It looks to me like there are Posts (blog entries) being added to every page after my text. These blog entries are actually empty, so you do not see any text. But the social media icons that you add after every blog post are showing up. So I guess the problem is – how do I stop blog entries from appearing anywhere? I am using WordPress as a website tool – to to display blogs.

Just updated the theme to the latest 0.9.9

[Em]

I am having trouble with the icons as well in Tempera. I enter the link and all it does is open my websites home page with the link as part of the slug (example: http://www.mywebsite.com/http://facebook.com/myfacebookpage.com). It doesn’t show an error, it just acts like you reopened the home page in a new tab or page. I even tried taking out the http the www. and even the social website leaving only (again example) “myfacebookpage.com”. Nothing seems to be working. I just need the social media button to share the current page to the social media page of whoever is visiting the site. Please help!!!!

[Joy DeKok]

Do you know when this bug will be fixed? I updated a client’s site today and can’t get the social media icons out of the header. Also, the home page tab is blank. Here’s the site link – when you look at the tab, you’ll see what I mean. http://www.anewyouhairremoval.com

Thank you.

OK. I tried and it actually made the trick. disabling responsiveness made the trick and now the page shows on ipad on the same way both in portrait and landscape.
i don’t know what other things responsiveness affects. I’m leaving it like this for now. and see in the future. thank you .

[pete]

I’m an idiot. It’s in widgets. Apologies for cluttering up a forum.

[ThornyJohn]

Okay, I finally figured out how to get rid of those silly borders on a table. There is actually a setting under Appearance/Tempera Settings/Graphics Settings called “Hide Tables” that achieves what I wanted to do.

Unfortunately, “Hide Tables” sounds a bit like it would hide all the tables, even though it only hides a table’s borders and default cell backgrounds (this is noted in the help popup). Perhaps the option should be called “Hide Table Borders” instead?

[Jim]

Hi Andy

I believe Pages and Posts use the same CSS class, you can change the colour in Colour Settings and its the second box within Content. So will change the colour for both page and post titles.

I hope this helps

Hi Jim! i tried to paste this on my parabola settings miscelaneous settings and it did not work, the theme it’s amazing i just need to center the main menu as trey wants too.

[Jim]

Hi Stefanie

There are quite a few forum links to others raising the same question about a sidebar on the presentation page as it has been raised for Mantra, Parabola and Tempera. What is suggested in the link below is that perhaps use a slider plugin instead, which should then allow side bars and not use the set themes presentation page. As best a hack as I can find, the theme uses the Nivo slider.

http://www.cryoutcreations.eu/forums/t/how-to-add-a-sidebar-on-mantra-presentation-page

Hope this helps

Jim…

[Jim]

Hi Stefanie

As far as I am aware you can only add extra text after the slider before and /or after the columns.

A sidebar cannot be added to the presentation page, as I have seen people asking for the same thing and they have been told its not possible at the moment.

Sorry I can’t be more constructive but I hope this helps

Jim…

Not sure what the forum rules are for bumping a topic for non premium members so apologies for the bumped topic. I’m happy to wait a bit longer if there is a set period for answers for non-premiums, but i thought i would ask as left a month now 🙂
