[Zoltan Barabas]

Hi Iwona,

thanks for your advice, I tried Calibri, set it everywhere on text settings, still on some places Open Sans is stucked in somehow 🙁 I don’t know how to get rid of it.
I’d like to find a solution, because this is a really nice theme. Some other themes I use also have this problem, but I use many that haven’t. I’d like to understand the logic behind this kind of problem that occurs time to time. I’m haunting usable themes to review them to the Hungarian WP users and I’d like this one to be among them.

Best wishes!
Zoltan

How do entrepreneurs make money from free wstiebes they create? Websites cost money to maintain, so how do they get the money to pay for the costs? Please be as detailed as possible. Thanks in advance.

Good comments about the logos! I have to say the clroos have grown on me! They are bright and catch the eye! I like the logo with the boxes at the end. It seems much more compact and not as distracting as the one with the big “X”. I get quite annoyed when people take Christ out of Christmas and replace it with a big “X”. I think people will know Christ is the center of our church once they come and experience it for themselves. We just need to get them to come out to check it out first. I think the top logo looks more modern and inviting for people who don’t usually go to church. Yet the blocks could show some connection like the church connecting with believers to win the lost, or something like that. The orange block could symbolize the new believer and the church plus other believers could be the other two blocks. When they come together you get an orange block or a new believer. Just a thought! Good luck in your decision!

Hi Jane!

I also replied to you on the wordpress.org forums. You can safely make the update – the message you are seeing is the default WordPress message and it appears for ALL themes when you make an update. It’s WordPress’ way of staying on the safe side in case something does go wrong.

There’s also an Export/Import feature on Tempera’s setting page so you can save the theme settings on your PC.

Plus, remember that this is a free theme for which we offer free support in our free time. Asking for support on a Saturday and expecting an urgent reply during the weekend is a little too much to ask don’t you think?

I found a way! I simply re-set the “Columns Content” field (in the “Presentation Page Columns” section) to “latest posts” The default there is “Widget coloumns” but you can choose others by using the little drop-down menu. Because I have no posts yet, nothing shows up so the whole column zone has vanished and will stay vanished until I have some posts I guess.

[Tui Allen]

I am no expert but interested in your problem. I’ll tell you where I’ve got to with this. But my needs are different from yours. I’m quite happy to have those items there but just want to work out how to change their content to my own needs.

You go to the tempera settings and click on the “presentation page” tile. A whole lot of options appear. Scroll down to where it says “Presentation Page Columns” This is where you edit what you refer to as “tiles.” (It is those six pretty looking pieces of content they have there.)

They are arranged in three columns with two items in each coloumn and they do look like tiles. I changed the number of coloumns to two and so now I have three rows of two items instead of the default two rows of three. I can’t see a way of making them disappear but there is an instuction there saying,

“Load your custom Widgets as columns. Go to Appearance >> Widgets and create your custom columns using the Columns widget. You can use as many as you want.”

On that widgets page it tells you, you can activate and de-activate widgets by dragging them on and off the page. I just haven’t worked out how to do this yet.
I thought maybe you had to do it in the edit page facility we have in WordPress so I went into there and looked at my home page there, but it does not even vaguely match anything I have on the presentation page. But when I click view page its the presentation page that shows up! So that’s where I’m at – mystified.

[Namae]

Let me elaborate. Easy one first: there is no option to set language for the “extras” text.
Secondly, both the slider and the columns only show the current language posts if they are set to display “latest posts”. That’s the correct behaviour I’m looking for, unfortunately it doesn’t work with other display options. I am particularly interested in:

– Custom slides and slides made from specific posts (or of a given category or tag, as a workaround, such as “slides”)
– Widget columns and columns made from specific posts (or of a given category or tag, such as “columns”)

Unfortunately it isn’t possible without some changes. Would you hint me on the way to implementing them as well as a multilanguage ready “Extra” text ? I could give back the code to you afterwards, if building this myself is not too time consuming.

In case you wish to know more let’s describe one of the issues, the one where Tempera’s columns and sliders are set to display “specific posts”: Tempera then just displays whatever posts we ask it to regardless of language and alternate hreflang.

Ideally, let’s say post 7 is in English and post 8 is the French version of that same article. If for some reason I wanted both post 7 and post 8 to display, I would add both of their IDs to the “specific posts” field, which is the current behaviour. But if I want only post 7 or 8 to display based on language, I would add only ONE ID, for example 7. Then, possibly thanks to Polylang and using maybe icl_get_languages(), Tempera would figure out that post 8 is the post to display when the user is French, instead of post 7. (because post 7 and 8 are alternate versions of each other and WordPress knows this)

Finally the following is a probably unrelated issue, but selecting “sticky posts” has no effect on neither the columns nor the slider. It seems to work just like “latest posts” and disregard the sticky status.

Sorry this may be adding a lot on your plate, but as I said if you hint me to what I need to change and stuff, I can get back to you with code =)

1 Aurel Cretu25-June-2013Multumesc frumos ptrneu raspunsuri si sfaturi, o sa tin cont de ele. Clientii vor fi din RO, dar cum pot calcula (estima) ce trafic voi avea? sunt anumite metode?Ca furnizor s-ar putea sa fie mxhost, hostway mi se par cam scumpi Daca mai aveti alte detalii, sugestii, eventual probleme de care v-ati lovit, nu ezitati sa mi le comunicati.

[George]

Thanks for your answer Zed.

It’s realy disapointing to hear that i should take a additonal plugin. That’s absolutly senseless when the possibilities are integrated in the theme. Then i can take the twentytwelve standard WordPress theme and a plugin…and thats exactly what i have done 😉

But thanks for your effort.

[Mike]

I tried this, but alas, the responsiveness area does not center with the logo. The logo moves, but the responsive area is still on the left….

[Elide]

I cannot view the full website on an Android nor an Iphone. How can I fix that?

[Pixvault]

This sounds to me like your host has done a fresh install of WordPress & the theme in the root folder, and not just copied over the complete file system/database

Moving a site is pretty simple as long as you follow the WordPress instructions & edit the relevant tables in the database to show the correct Home & Site URL. Even when you update WordPress/ Mantra the Custom CSS doesn’t get touched

Did you have a backup of the file system/database before the move?

[fofenka]

My problem is the same, I have 6 posts created, I would like to present 4 of them on the home page and then the others on the next page. I fine on the bottom of the page numbers – 1/2.
On the first page I see 4 posts but I can’t go to the 2nd one because I get reeor massage:

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

[WV]

I have tried as mentioned. no luck. link to the site : http://shrirammontessori.com/

Hi Tim

I think when you add/edit the categories widget there is a box you can tick that says Show post count.

I hope this helps

Jim..

[Mike Heple]

to clarify, the widget.php and frontpage.php i was modifying were in my child theme folders. I can get this to work by modifying the parent theme’s widget.php file but I want a solution that will survive the client updating the theme without telling me.

[Kay]

Screaming for help like that won’t get you anywhere. If you want to receive any kind of assistance you need to go beyond “slider is not working…..please help!!!” You need to give as much detail as possible about your problem, tell us when it was working, what you were doing when it stopped working, what plugins you have installed, if you tried fixing it in any way, did you update WordPress or the theme… that sort of thing.

I see you have it fixed now so that’s a good thing.

There’s a very easy solution to that for all themes. Go to the theme settings page >> Graphics and there’s an option called .. wait for it… wait for it… “Comments are closed text”. (the option is under Post Information Settings in Tempera.)

Hi,

Just a little update from me. I have finally used Calibri font instead of Open Sans for the main text and Impact font in headers. The effect is not exactly what I wanted to achieve, but at least it looks fine and, what is even more important, the Polish diacritic marks display OK in Chrome. All in all, it is acceptable for me for the time being as I have to move on with my website and publish it soon.

Zoltan, perhaps it is worth trying to set a different font, just like Zed suggested. I know that the visual effect may not be perfect but I think you can still try to solve this issue on a later stage and set a different font for now. Such a small imperfection should not impede the workflow I think. It is always better to get things done than to be stuck with small-but-annoying issues that appear on the way. They will always do 😉

Good luck and all the best in your business!

Hi, The reason for installing a child theme is to allow changes to header and footer:
1. Header to include logo in header but still show business name and contact information (as trackable click events).
2. Footer to control text position and style.
3. Provide header and footer that are legible on mobile devices.

I have attempted both Mantra and Parabola child themes, with the same result.
After disabling cache, create folder with -child name, place minimal style.css file, activate child theme, adjust header image, navigation menu, preview and view site.

The navigation areas appear as bulleted lists or drop-down selection boxes, presentation page appearance changes, with slider image appearing at top=left of screen, over navigation list.

The child themes are at http://nucafe47.com/wp-content/themes/mantra-child and http://nucafe47.com/wp-content/themes/parabola-child the Parabola child setup style.css file is patterned on a working child theme installation at http://scriptswholesale.com/wp-content/themes/parabola-child

@ Scott!

Actually sloppy and amateurish is getting the theme name you’re asking support for wrong. It’s ‘Tempera’ everywhere and you still manage to get it wrong. ‘Tempura’ sounds like the dark god of sloppy amateurs doesn’t it? Please pay a bit more attention to detail.

As for the slider, we’re using Nivo slider with our presentation page and we don’t claim that to be the best. Of course we’re going to encourage people to try out other stuff as well so that they may get the best possible experience. And the web designer that you are (using somebody else’s theme on your site just grants you that title) should know that things get a bit more complicated than that. For the slider on the presentation page we use a specific set of options for loading content into the slides. Now if the user decided to add 10 different sliders on 10 different pages, with different content on each slider, it would become very complicated without the use of custom posts (which are forbidden for themes on wordpress.org). Creating a Nivo slider plugin would be redundant as well as there already is a Nivo slider plugin on wordpress.org.

“Lacking attention to detail” for a theme that has over 200 options and is based on a framework that’s been constantly updated to the user’s needs for over 3 years now, really makes me recommend you another theme.

Good luck Scott!

Javascript is not accepted by WordPress’ filters inside the presentation page fields.
You’ll need to manually edit the presentation page file (includes/theme-frontpage.php) preferably after copying to a child theme and placing the code directly in that file.

You should not be making changes to the theme’s files (as these will be lost on the next update).
Use the Custom Footer Texts field in the theme settings or a child theme for more extensive changes.

This is what categories are for. When you set up menu items, add a menu item for one category and another one for a different category.

That’s controlled by the third (last) General/Text field. Links use the Footer/Links colour fields (the last two overall)

You can place any CSS you may want to use to change how your site looks in the Custom CSS field (under Miscellaneous in the theme’s settings page). This CSS is saved separately and is applied to the entire site without editing any files.

The magazine layout applies to all category sections (everywhere where posts are listed). We are working to turn this into a page template so it can be used on selected categories/sections.

Juanjo, that is sample content. Replace it with your own text/images and the “advertising” will disappear.

Does your child theme’s style.css file have the required content?

/*

Template: tempera
Version: 0.1

I think the issue here, and this is what I am experiencing, is that the 6 Cryout Column Widgets that are initially on the presentation page (Fully customizable, Responsive, Endless Fonts, Layouts and Page Templates, Presentation Page, HTML5, CSS3 and more) are not showing up on the Appearance > Widget > Presentation Page Columns > Cryout Columns space so there is no way to drag then out (ie: remove them) or edit them.

I can drag a new Cryout Column Widget in and once created it seems to delete the original 6 and add the new one I have made. If I drag the new one that I made out and the space is empty then the original 6 are back in.

I believe this is what is confusing people. If I understand things correctly the original 6 are NOT editable and will be removed as soon as the user adds a Cryout Column widget that they have made on their own. Is this correct?
