Hi again!

I tried to switch themes and then the activation was ok! However, when I connected Jetpack to my wordpress.com-account, the same thing happened again, the Admin panel turned into a blank page 🙁 Darned, I really liked Jetpack’s features when it used to work on the site. Thanks for trying to help me out 🙂

Leave the URL field empty (delete the #) for the social icons you don’t want to use.

I’m having the same problem with Version: 2.3.0 – Can’t believe no replies to your post. What’s happening with this feature? Anyone have any ideas on getting this feature to work?

[Paul]

Not being a shop owner, I never even thought to use a carteogy page for a special/theme page. Nice!There is also a way to do this with just css. Using your same technique to output the categories where you have:$output .= ”;I altered it to$output .= ”;It takes some inspecting to see what the carteogy id is, but then in your stylesheet you could do something likeli.menu_cat_45 { display: none }Also handy for styling/highlighting certain categories differently!

Hi Craig, I thought I would just take this opttpouniry to say thanks for your free theme nice cleaner by default. You have modified it with the customer in mindso it clean and uncluttered, the product page and checkout page are a great improvement on the default skinOne thing i would ask, As I am selling only within Australia, I would like to remove the language and country drop downs from their position in the header and insert the search box. How can one accomplish that? ThanksJohn

When creating posts manually write the excerpt in the Excerpt field. It will be displayed exactly as written in (including manual HTML).

You can only place shortcodes in the column text. The column image field accepts an image URL only.

I named the wrong file in my previous post. frontpage.php is for Parabola; in Mantra, the file is includes/theme-frontpage.php.
Open it, look for the line
// First FrontPage Title
if($mantra_fronttext1) {?><div id="front-text1"> <h1><?php echo esc_attr($mantra_fronttext1) ?> </h1></div><?php }
and replace this with your image HTML; then add the proper CSS to position/arrange that image HTML in the theme’s custom CSS field.

PS: This should be done via a child theme; when done via a child theme, the file includes/theme-frontpage.php needs to be called (include_once()) by the child theme’s functions.php file, otherwise it is not read.

I believe we covered this in the comments and it was caused by improperly adding files to the theme’s folder, files which are lost when you update.

Following up……………
I have been unable to fix this problem in IE, Firefox, or Chrome, regardless of what I do with plugins. In all browsers, the menu bars will turn white when I mouseover them, but do nothing when I click them.

What else should I look for??

[Richard]

I’d like to do the same thing. We’re not talking inside the individual post. There we have the comment box already.
We’re talking in the frontpage, where I e.g. show 10 posts per page. At the bottom of each of those posts I’d like a “Leave Comment” link.

Otherwise, a user has to scroll back up again to leave a comment.

I use the Mantra theme (2.3.0 at the moment).

I tried to search for the code that creates the “Leave Comment” and “3 Comments”, but no success yet. Anyone know?

Hi again!

Jetpack used to work fine before, but suddenly it won’t any longer and I’ve tried to deactvate other plugins and so on, but haven’t been able to figure it out that way.

When I try to activate Jetpack, it seems like the whole admin panel crashes. The page (…/wp-admin/plugins.php?activate=true&plugin_status=all&paged=1&s=) turns totally blank and there is no way to re-access the admin panel other than to delete Jetpack from the folder directly on the server.

These are the other plugins activated on my page: Google Analytics, NextCellent Gallery, Section Page, Under Construction, Widgets Controller.

Kindest rgds, Karin

Hi Michael

I’m not that savvy either but I have a couple of suggestions that could be used within the standard settings…

1. You could increase the number of displayed posts (from 10) on the presentation page within presentation page settings.
2. You could create a custom footer menu that links to a blog page and change its navigation label to something like “View more posts…”
3. Perhaps use magazine layout which would show 2 columns of posts.

I hope these help

Jim…

[Diego]

Well, I changed some of the theme’s files an managed to get the desired result. The number of “columns” in the dashboard is still hardcoded, but I changed it to 20. And in the frontpage I added an external for loop that outputs four columns for each div. So, when you have let’s say, 10 columns, you’ll get three divs with 4/4/2 columns each.

If anyone have the same problem, reach me out at twitter (@diegocbarboza) and I send you the modified files.

[Tim]

Thank you. I found I had to make an ftp permissions change and Theme Options Import (and automatic plugin updates) now work.

However, I tried updating from Mantra 1.9.8 to 2.3.0 and the result is frightening! The current Homepage looks like an unedited base template full of empty boxes to put things in. I think the site is going to have to remain on 1.9.8 …

Dear moderator or any other reader,

If anybody could spend a few minutes on this one, I’d really be helped. I can’t solve it alone.

I looked inside content-image.php and content.php but I see no reference to ‘cat’ or ‘category’. And even if I would find it I wouldn’t know which exact part of the code to take out.

Thanks again, Thomas.

[Sarah]

Hi Zed

I tried that but there is still quite a large gap between the title and the 4 columns of text.

Thanks
Sarah

[Paolo]

Thanks for the respond Zed, I appreciate the help, I really do. See, I’m a computer tech and although I see the logic behind the coding, I’m not sure how to change things. Could you edit it for me, or anyone else please? Here is the frontpage php:

Again, Thanks

To add borderless images in posts/pages, leave them unaligned. Parabola only applies the image border settings to aligned images.

Or leaving all slide fields empty.

It’s easier to hide the slider by leaving the content (slide fields) empty.
Alternatively, use this CSS to hide the slider container so it doesn’t take up space anymore:
.slider-wrapper { display: none; }

You can only do that by editing the theme files, namely frontpage.php includes/theme-frontpage.php (frontpage.php is in for Parabola)

1. depends on the images mentioned
2. you can use a caching plugin; some also provide css and js minify-cation; just don’t over-minify as that will break the theme (and other things);
3. this is in the FAQs:

Make sure the “Site Title” and “Tagline” fields are filled in under Settings > General, otherwise you will see a stray dash in the browser title.

If you do wish to hide the previously filled in site title and tagline from the site header area, just set the option to anything but “Site title and description” — logo (if you have one), clickable header (if you’ve set a header image) or empty will all do.

You should place the analytics code in the the Custom JS field (under Miscellaneous).
You can then place banners using widgets.

Hi Alina

This is all within Social Media Settings within the Parabola settings. The ones that show only do so because they have a ‘#’ symbol in the field where the proper link should go, if you blank the fields the icons wont show or put in the proper link.
At the bottom of the this settings page you can decide where you want the icons to show.

I hope this helps

Hi Alison

I’ve just tried the above test, and the search box will only appear if you have no posts and have posts enabled on the presentation page. Once a post is created it goes.

Jim…

[Alison]

Hi Jim. Thanks for that. When I disabled the “Show Posts on Presentation Page, it went away, but the weird thing is I don’t have any posts. Also, does that mean when I do create a post, I won’t be able to have it on the presentation page without that weird search box being there also?

And as far as the tab, I mean the tab above the address bar, that names the page you have open. It only shows what looks like a piece of paper (page) and a line (-), but no words.

[Jim]

Hi

You can position the site title and site description together on the left of the header, by using something like 800px in the left field under Header Settings> Header Content Spacing. It will move both. Otherwise maybe best to create a custom header image and just use that or maybe some custom CSS?

Under Social Media Settings at the bottom you can decide where you want the icons to show.

I hope this helps

Jim…

[Jim]

Hi Alison

1.At a guess Id think you have something in one of the Extra Text fields that are at the bottom of the Presentation Page settings in Parabola. Perhaps ensure they are all blanked out?

2.Not sure I understood what “Why isn’t there any text on the tab for the presentation page?” meant.

3.There are two Extra Text boxes that can be used for additional text on the presentation page.

I hope this helps

Jim..

[Sarah]

I’m having this issue too! I have managed to get rid of the slider by setting the height, width and border of the slider to 0 in the presentation page settings. However now I have a gap under my title before my columns start. You can view my site here http://www.gainmarketing.co.uk
I think Diane above has given up as she seems to have changed themes so if anyone out there can help with this I would be grateful.
