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…

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.

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…

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.

[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…

[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

Jim..

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 ?

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
