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

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..

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.

[Peter Kalogeratos]

That’s fine, except that any image I choose will not look as good as the originals. I have tried installing alternative images but they don’t match properly in terms of resolution and size, and looking around to find the right matches will drive me crazy. I chose Parabola because as it is, it’s perfect for me. Any chance that the original images without the advertising can be sent to peterkal_AT_hotmail.com?

I am happy to ‘buy you a coffee.’ as is said at cryout creations.

That fixed it, perfect! Thanks Jim. -Jeannie

[thevocalgenie]

Thanks Jim! The first option didn’t work (I’d tried that too) but yeah duh, went into Parabola settings and changed the frames. Yeay!

[Jim]

Hi Adrian

Sorry I couldn’t help, however I use Contact Form 7 also, and it works for me. Changing the colour of the 5th accent colour field seems to change the background of all input fields.

You could try adding the following Custom CSS which should allow you to set the colour of the all input field text.

#content input {
color: purple;
}

Hope this helps…

Cheers

[Jim]

Hi

I think you can do this by editing the page the image is on, selecting the image and then clicking on the edit image icon in the corner, then in the pop up box select advanced settings at the top, then put 0 in the border field, after this click in the styles field above which should show “border: 0px none;”. Then if you save the page hopefully the border is removed for that particular image. Alternatively if you don’t want borders on any images, this can be done via Parabola Settings then Graphics Settings.

I hope this helps

Tried inserting the CSS code above but had no effect. The titles and the text in the Footer Widget are a bit difficult to read. Can’t seem to change font size either.Any suggestions ?

[Nauno]

Hi,

Wordpress version :3.6
Mantra version : 2.2.2
No pluggins

same JQuery problem :
“If this message remains visible after the page has loaded then there is a problem with your WordPress jQuery library. This can have several causes, including incompatible plugins.
The Mantra Settings page cannot function without jQuery. You need to fix this issue before you can configure Mantra.”

And In the News about Mantra:
“Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /mnt/154/sda/3/a/a.sandbox/wp-includes/SimplePie/Misc.php on line 2173”
corresponding to :
foreach (glob($root . ‘/SimplePie/*.php’) as $file)

Any idea for help please ?

[Marc]

HI Zed, I should aslo add that the link behimnd “Email Us” on top right of page (header) does not seem to work in any browser except IE… I cannot figure this one either… is there something in the template that could be affecting this simple, basic HTML statement?

Thanks! Marc

[Marc]

Hi Zed,
GREAT THEME! Thank you.

I just updated to the latest Parabola (just now) and lost my home page (Slider + 4 columns). Widgtes still there though. I tried disable / enable but it did nothing.

Can you point me in the right direction pls. Thanks!

Hi,

I have followed the instructions above, but would like some instruction on “transfer the changed theme-frontpage.php file to a child theme (calling it in it).”

I have changed line 211 in the theme-frontpage.php to follows and it’s ok:
” alt=”” title=”#caption<?php echo $i;?>” />

So, as directed, I tried to make a make a child include file themes\mantra-mb2014-child\includes\theme-frontpage.php, with following code.

It’s not working, I guess I am calling it wrong? I looked online for resource how to make a child theme, but I can’t find any info other than the css and function pages..

<?php
/*
* @package mantra
*/

@import url(“../mantra/includes/theme-frontpage.php”); /*include parent file*/

// Change line 211 of parent file to remove the hyperlink on presenation carousel slider

// Loop for creating the slides
if ( $custom_query->have_posts() ) while ( $custom_query->have_posts()) : $custom_query->the_post();

$image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ),’slider’);
$i++; ?>
” alt=”” title=”#caption<?php echo $i;?>” />

<?php endwhile; // end of the loop.
?>

[Zed]

That’s because those plugins most likely break WordPress’ jQuery library, which Matra relies on to function.

You have 3 choices: don’t use the plugin, don’t use the theme, or ask the plugin author to adhere to WordPress rules and use the bundled jQuery instead of loading its own older/incompatible version.

Hi – just checking to see if there is a resolution for the issue below:

I am have been trying to update the sliders, but after selecting a photo to upload, the field is empty and nothing shows up. It looks like the photo uploads to Media successfully, but is unable to be selected as a slide after repeated attempts. I have also restarted my browser but get the same results. I noticed an update to Parabola regarding the Presentation page and wondered if that has anything to do with it.

[kelly Richardson]

I am having the same problem and are waiting for an answer too…. I am impatient and may search for another theme if this can’t get resolved soon- but really prefer this one, thanks 🙂 patiently waiting….

[Andy]

I have inspected the core files and found the code under mantra/admin:
main.php line 220

add_settings_field(‘mantra_socials5’, __(‘Link nr. 5′,’mantra’) , ‘cryout_setting_socials5_fn’, __FILE__, ‘socials_section’);
add_settings_field(‘mantra_socials6’, __(‘Link nr. 6′,’mantra’) , ‘cryout_setting_socials6_fn’, __FILE__, ‘socials_section’);
add_settings_field(‘mantra_socials7’, __(‘Link nr. 7′,’mantra’) , ‘cryout_setting_socials7_fn’, __FILE__, ‘socials_section’);
add_settings_field(‘mantra_socialshow’, __(‘Socials display’,’mantra’) , ‘cryout_setting_socialsdisplay_fn’, __FILE__, ‘socials_section’);

settings.php line 1990

// TEXTBOX – Name: ma_options[social5]
function cryout_setting_socials5_fn() {
cryout_setting_social_master(9);
}
// TEXTBOX – Name: ma_options[social6]
function cryout_setting_socials6_fn() {
cryout_setting_social_master(11);
}
// TEXTBOX – Name: ma_options[social7]
function cryout_setting_socials7_fn() {
cryout_setting_social_master(13);

That all works in the settings, but where do I change the actual page (presentation page, sidebar, page, etc so the extra icons show up live?

Thanks,
Andy

[Jim]

Hi Kelly

From purely a lay mans point of view, I would suspect this to be an issue with the SEO plug in rather than the Parabola theme, it might be worth deactivating the SEO plug-in and sending the message to the creators of the plug-in.

I hope this helps

Hi Brian

I just did some further testing, I created a page with an h1,h2, h3 tags etc and published it. I then used Firebug to inspect each element. For the h1 tag I got the following:

#content .entry-content h1 {
font-size: 48px;
}

so I copied this code and pasted it into the custom CSS area within Parabola and saved, and changed the font size to 12px.

Went back and refreshed the published page and the font size had changed to 12px

As a double check I did try the h6 tag and changed that from 18px to 48px and that worked too, so it does appear to be the right area.

I hope that helps.

Jim…

[Kelly]

HI Micah, I am having the same problem with updating my sliders, the field being empty, but the photo is in media. I hope someone can help resolve this. I really like this theme too.:)
