Hi.

This is not a bug in the theme. The issue is caused by a broken theme archive lurking on WordPress’ servers.
When you update your site WordPress serves you the zip file from one of their severs. Since some serve the corrupt archive while others serve the good one this issue occurs only for some sites.

We have no control here and we cannot fix this in any way.

The solution is to manually download the theme from WordPress on your computer and check that you get the correct one (212 files and 21 folders) – http://wordpress.org/themes/download/mantra.2.3.3.zip
Try the download repeatedly if you get the corrupt copy. Eventually you’ll receive the correct one.

Then go to your dashboard and create a theme settings export (just to have a backup).
Go to Appearance > Themes and delete (uninstall) Mantra.
And manually re-install the theme from the good archive you previously downloaded (see our tutorial on “semi-manual installation”) – http://www.cryoutcreations.eu/wordpress-themes/wordpress-tutorials/how-to-install-a-wordpress-theme

Of course there’s also the option of deleting the theme and reinstalling it via the search/install directly (without downloading it to your computer) but this may require several tries until you get the correct archive.

I’ve not had this problem but the suggestion was to add this code to the Custom CSS box on Mantras Settings, Misc.

z-index{9998}
I corrected the example syntax
This sets the stack order of the element to a large number so its not hidden. If you think of 3D geometry, z is in and out, the layers of the elements that overlap.

Can’t believe all the spam that gets by the Captcha

Slider issue: Slider is working but animation is not so images just pop from one to the next.
I’ve tried changing animations and timings, still no animation, Thank you much

Sounds like you have a couple of issues going on, Rachel.
The theme is designed to reflow content into the space provided. If your theme columns are set wider than you can see them on your small screen, they’ll adjust to how you see them. You won’t see your site how many of your viewers will. But when you insert (embed) video, it will default to the width of the columns you’ve set in your theme. Thus, too wide for you. Embedded video has a setting for display size.

You can set your columns more narrowly so the video defaults the way you like. Or you can use a video embedding tool that gives you window size control. The TinyMCE Advanced plugin for example, gives you a bunch of new buttons for your post editing screen. One is a proper video embed tool. You can drag the corner of the video size window to your preferred size.

I’ve also come to add a direct link to the video under the embed so people with small screens like cell phones can view it more suitably.

I am experiencing all these problems! The previous version was flawless!
Even when posting an image I can resize it. I can in the edit zone, but when I post it it doesn’t change the size!

Please fix it! 🙁
Or any solution?

[Latesha]

After I originally left a comment I appear to have clicked on
the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and from now on every
time a comment is added I receive 4 emails with the same
comment. Perhaps there is a way you can remove me from that service?

Thanks!

I am having the same problem. I did figure out that it has to do with the page attributes template on the individual pages. Example: About Us page, if I have the page attributes template set to “one column no sidebars”, my content shows up just fine. But if I change the page attributes template to any other setting, the content disappears. I have tried adjusting the widths of the content area and the sidebar area in the layout settings under Mantra settings and it still doesn’t fix it. I too am building a website for a client and need a fix soon! Please help! This is a very major problem!

“export the theme settings to a txt file. Just tried exporting, re-setting to default, and importing. Worked fine,”

May have worked for you, but did nothing for my setup.

Hopefully a fix will be deployed sooner rather than later.

[jon]

You can export the theme settings to a txt file. Just tried exporting, re-setting to default, and importing. Worked fine, so I assume the settings could also be imported to a new version (or previous version, if that’s possible).

Hi Dr. Dave:

I’m working on a client site and just went through something similar.

1. In Appearance>>Parabola Settings>>Header Settings.
There, adjust header height from 120 to something smaller or larger. Adjust Header Content Spacing, which is basically the margins for the logo image. SAVE

2. In your graphics program resize the header image to your new larger size and upload it. SAVE

Make any further adjustments as needed. Remember to save!

Good luck!

I’m having the same issue and it’s a website for a company. Please let me know when there are results. I do use a child theme and I’ve tried putting the content.php into the child theme as well.

[Desmond]

Well most plugens donot work with it Google maps will not show. FAQ will not work.
meda gallerys will not work. PLEASE FIX ASAP LOVE THE THEM (When it works) I know the last time it did this you had it fixed with in a day.

Suggestion when you do the fix add in a way to role back to the prevues version (SO bugs do not kill the site that is using it)
I will let my site remain broken for 10 hours to give you time to look and see what It did

[Neal]

I have the same problem – social media settings have gone gaga as have the menu links. They pull up pages but there’s nothing in them. Please fix this ASAP.

[Gary Oo]

Further info….

I’ve tried THREE times to edit the Social Media Settings.

I’ve “un-ticked” top right hand corner and in the footer and then save changes, but it is not saving the changes. When I view my site, the icons are in the top right hand corner and in the footer!!

I’ve also checked page source and this is what I see for content:

<div id=”content” role=”main”>
<article id=”post-3″ class=”post-3 page type-page status-publish hentry”>
<header class=”entry-header”>
<hgroup>
<h2 class=”entry-title”>About</h2>
</hgroup>
</header><!– .entry-header –>
<div class=”entry-content”>
</div><!– .entry-content –>
<footer class=”entry-meta2″>
<span class=”edit-link”>Edit</span> </footer><!– #entry-meta –>
</article><!– #post-3 –>
</div>

When I go to edit the page, all the original content is there.

So I’m clueless as to why the page contents aren’t being displayed.

Also you probably want to replace the 1150px with 1050px in the set of rules, because you modified the width and your site uses 1050 😉

Hey,

thanks for the reply.

1. I didn’t have the idea with 2 columns, I might try that. Anyway, I guess others might eperience the same issue, so maybe it would be possible to address it in one of the next releases!? It’s nothing critical but still a bit nicer if it’s aligned the same.

2. Your solution then assumes I always use the same format. I currently have landscape as well as portrait pictures as featured images, so one of them would still be stretched. I am not too familiar with the way wordpress handles thumbnails, but maybe it would be possible to use the native thumbnails or just a part of the picture? Personally I would prefer a cropped picture about a stretched one.

Apologies, indentation has been stripped by the forum – should hopefully still make sense though!

[Serge]

[Tom]

Hey Namae,

wow that’s awesome. Works perfectly! Thanks so much for that great piece of CSS!

[Kay]

The dropdowns showing behind the slidershow will be fixed in the next version.

IE8 isn’t really on the supported browser list any more considering the current IE version is v11. But we’ll check out the issues and try to fix them for the next version.

The site given is just a sub-domain where I try out themes for my clients. I too am having issues with getting the posts to appear on the Presentation Page. I have it enabled for 3 posts. http://askeydie.com/themetryout/

Thanks, Eydie 🙂

[Kat]

This is what I did:

In the Presentation page, Columns section,

1) I left the IMAGE field empty
2) I put my title in the TITLE field
3) In the TEXT field, I put the url of the image and a sentence of text. To do this so the theme would not “scrub” (and more than likely remove what I did) my html, I created a draft post that contained the image and the sentence. While creating the draft post, I then clicked the ‘text’ tab, copied the code, went back to column setting and pasted the code into the TEXT field.

Of course, you can omit the sentence of text.

There may be an easier way, but this worked great for me.

[Yaron]

I forgot, I also exported the settings to make it easier for you to understand what’s going on:

Hi i have tried what you have advised here but nothings changing still only getting 1180px width to play with i want header to run the entire top of my site?
i copied and pasted css into custom css in theme options?
and nothing? help

[John]

Believe I figured it out. Post shown under settings and Tempera Settings most be the same number. So if under Dashboard/Settings/Reading you have it to show 8 posts per page, then under Tempera Settings/Presentation Page must have it saying to show 8 posts.

[John]

I am having the same problem. I can get to Page 1 and 2, but any other page 3, 4, etc says

“Not Found
Apologies, but the page you requested could not be found. Perhaps searching will help.”

If not fixed very soon I am going to have to switch to a different theme.

Everything is possible with using the WordPress menus. Have a read here http://www.cryoutcreations.eu/wordpress-themes/wordpress-tutorials/how-to-use-a-custom-menu-in-your-wordpress-website

The pagination on the presentation page will be fixed in a future update.

Is there an error on your page as well? Please disable all plugins for a second and see if the page works then. Incompatibilities with faulty plugins have been known to cause that.
