Ros, you will lose those files the next time you update the theme.

Grab the URLs for the images you want to use out of WordPress’ library (Media > Library) and paste the URLs in the fields in the theme settings. This cannot not work.

Make sure you get the correct links, not the ?attachment_id= ones.

The easiest way to add the phone number is to place it in the header image (even a transparent one if you’re not using a header image). Adding custom content to the header is very complicated.

Extra text 2 font size:
#frontpage #front-text4 blockquote { font-size: 10px; }

I don’t get the last part about the small text at the right top of the page and extra tabs…

Nice to see these posts saying things differently than the WordPress forums posts. There you just complained the theme wouldn’t display the slider images. Here you admit you have no idea how to define the images.

Guess you failed to read the available documentation.

I will also write my review of your documentation reading inability everywhere I can.
If you cannot read, perhaps you should stop writing accordingly 😉

The text fields support (basic) HTML, so you might pull it of by writing something like
<div class="myppbox">column text goes here</div>
then styling that div using custom CSS:
.myppbox { border: 1px solid #666; border-radius: 10px; }

I did not test this and I’m not sure exactly what HTML tags and attributes WordPress filters out of the code. You can try various things… even using tricks to achieve this (like placing the text inside a <span> and then using this custom CSS tag #front-columns .column-text > span { }

Hi Jim,

Well, blimey. That was too easy. All other sites I have worked with need code changes to do that! And, I just hovered over the ? and it does say to leave blank as you said… can’t believe I did not see that!

Many many thanks!

Jane

I would very much like to have sidebar widgets on the presentation page. It’s awkward to expect people to follow or email subscribe if they must scroll to the footer area. It would be much more convenient to have various search parameters on the presentation page to help people find specific topics and posts. Please consider this is future updates.

[Jim]

Hi Jane

I think you can do this by going to Parabola settings for the Presentation Page then you need to go to the area call Presentation Page Columns, here there is a text box called “Read more text:” and if you blank that field the link doesn’t show. Also I think it wouldn’t show if you remove the links within each of the columns.
I can’t help with the How to.. section I’m afraid, as I’m just a humble user! 🙂

I hope this helps..

Jim..

Hi Jim

Thanks – that really did the trick and a bit humbled that I spent time trying to work out why putting the shortcode in the image field wouldn’t work – all because I had in mind that I was going to put text in the text field. A bit rigid, I know.

But to press on now….. and work out how I can get a box around the text that is now sitting under the video, and a box that has shadow at that, not to mention rounded corners.

The sad thing is that although I’ve come to agree with Zed that video on the frontpage actually detracts …. I still have to see whether it can be done.

Thanks again

Robert

Hi Liz

If you are going to look for another theme, and rather than just doing a reset it might be worth first trying an un-install then a re-install of Parabola as I’ve not seen anyone have similar issues via this forum. If you do this then as I suggested above Export and Import your settings first.
Also have you tried using a different browser?

Good luck

Jim…

[Vinnie]

I am having the same exact problem on mobile items. My new client is complaining about this. Please fix this issue. Thank you.

[Jim]

Hi Robert

I managed to do this, I used a plug in called “Youtube shortcode” I created the shortcode using a draft WP page. Then I pasted the short code into the Column Text area, leaving the other fields blank and saved.

I hope this helps

Jim…

[Robert]

Hi

Was there any resolve on this. I have activated Jetpack tried to enter a shortcode into the image field for column 3 on the presentation field without any success.

Am I missing something here or is the column image field 3 not able to take a shortcode.

Thanks

Robert

[Liz]

Hi Jim

No problem, it’s often a simple and obvious mistake 🙂
But yes, I saved the settings. They show in the back-end but are not visible on the site.

I think it’s something to do with the background because I can change the font of text fine but any colour changes don’t stick.How can I get past this? Should I reset to default? Would that remove all of my content, ie slider images?

Many thanks for all of your help,
Liz

[Robert]

Hi Jim

The effect looks really nice. Could you let me know the code to paste into the custom CSS area?

I am very new to this and tried pasting in the code with and without {} , so I am defiantly missing something here.

Thanks very much

Robert

[Liz]

Hi Jim

Your help worked beautifully, but now none of colour settings I’ve made will stick. I’ll make a colour choice and it won’t show on the website. Hard refreshing doesn’t help, I’ve even imported colour schemes which show once then disappear. I’ve tried removing the code you gave me but nothing helps.

Please can you give me some advice, I’d appreciate it.
Thanks
Liz

Still no reply after FOUR DAYS? This is really sad. I really wanted to use this theme and I really wanted to pay you all some money for support on it. I read some reviews and even found a review from someone who said they paid for support from you and that they never heard back from you regarding their issue. I think this says a lot. I will be posting my review of the support from this Theme Company everywhere I can. If you can’t make a theme and support it accordingly, DON’T MAKE IT.

I tried removing featured images and re-adding them after the upgrade in case this helped, but no, no changes.

[Zed]

You should place all CSS in the custom CSS field (or a child theme).

You’ll lose changes you do to theme files on the next update.

Alex, as I’ve already replied on the WordPress forums, that’s the wrong way of doing things.

All you have to do to make sure the slider works is to check there are no JavaScript issues on your site and that the image URLs are correct and publicly visible (or that the posts have featured images). That’s all.

Hi Liz

Sorry I think I fed you some wrong information. The easiest thing to do with the slider border is to set its colour to transparent. You can do this within Parabola Settings > Color Settings > Presentation Page the just leave the field for Slider Border Color empty. I’ll do some more research and get back to you about the column borders.

I hope this helps

Yes when you upload a picture wordpress makes different sizes, 4 I think.
you can see them /wp-content/uploads/2013/10 (my uploads Are filed with year/month folders) wacky sizes indeed.I think it reads the image dimensions from the file info and then multiplies by some factor like .8 or something. WordPress does this automatically when you upload an image, so if you change image size when you select an image to use the file already exists.

When you select an image to use from media images and edit it there is a check box for size and then a button that says use this image.
In Dashboard–>Settings –> Media you set the image sizes.
example Thumbnail 150×150
Medium 300×300
Large 600×600
When you upload image it needs to be the size you set, if not when it is cropped or resized it may not be perfect.
I play it safe.. for each media image I create 3 images with exact dimensions.
imagethumbnail150x150.jpg
imagemedium300x300.jpg
imagelarge600x600.jpg

For some images you can hover over the question mark ?, and it may have the recommended image size ( like slider and column images)
Default content width is 1050, so slider image default size is 1050 x 350
Column images arre 308×308
You can always change the image sizes but you must make sure all settings regarding image sizes are equal to the actual image dimensions.

[Alex]

Check your image sizes.
Simple test..Change content width to 1400 if you can see images in full you will need to tweak image sizes and/or content width
For three columns the default width is 308×308 with a layout setting content width of 1050 ..the math doesnt work because the padding on sides of and between images.
You either need to increase content width or image width. I think for 4 columns I tried image width 230 pixels with a content width of 1050.

Hi William and Tracy,

I was also facing the same problem but after going through the below url
:
http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/breadcrumbs-how-to-show-home-instead-of-blog-title-in-the-breadcrumbs/

I fixed it by doing the below mentioned changes:
1. Open the file named “theme-functions.php”
2. Search for the line:
echo ‘‘.get_bloginfo(‘name’).’ » ‘;
And replace it with
echo ‘Home » ‘;

And after saving the changes.You will be able to have Home instead of Site title on your website.

[Alex]

I re read the initial post, misunderstood it
I have had to click the reload page button several times.
I think I cleared the browser cache for Safari check boxes selected
website content and preview image settings

[Jim]

Hi

You can only add footer widgets, not sidebars, to the presentation page (make sure they aren’t checked in the Hide Areas section).

Perhaps put your table short code in the visual editor within a WP page or post then use the indent tool to centre it (which adds left padding). Then use the text tab and copy the code into the Extra Text field, and adjust the padding value if needed.

Hope this helps

Jim…

[Brian Siano]

I’m having a similar problem on my Presentation Page. The main slider’s only displaying one or two posts, and I’d prefer to have it display roughly 5-7 posts.

I’ve tried the fix Kay described above, but it doesn’t seem to help.

[JP]

Also, how do I add share buttons to the pages? I tried, but they don’t show up correctly on my posts. Any help in this department would be appreciated as well.
