Jim: thanks, but I found those, tried changing the values, and nothing happened.

I tried playing with this setting to indent the menu but couldn’t make it work, any idea how? I want the menu tabs to be indented about 200px so they don’t interfere with my logo on the left hand side. Ideally I would also like my header logo to be infront of my menu background. I know I could make my header image higher, but don’t want to waste more space up there. Thanks for input.

Hi,

I have played around with this custom css #access to move the menu tabs right 150px, so it moves away from my logo, any ideas how to achieve that?

Secondly, I would like my logo above the menu, rather than underneath the menu background colour, possible to achieve? I know I could make the header higher, but I don’t want to waste more header space on the screen.

Hi there! 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. I LOVE this theme and if this can be resolved, I can get paid and send a $25 donation. 🙂

Thanks for your help!

sounds like it may be an issue with permalinks. If you have set permalinks to friendly URL but the htaccess file doesn’t update, the friendly links won’t open. On a post page you can find the ‘short link’, see if that loads ok and if so, check your settings > permalinks.

Hi, I’m trying to create a grid too rather than using a table as I want the responsiveness ie col 2 falls under col 1 on resizing.

It seems however not to do a clear on the [cryout-multi] block and I need this to happen (like a row in a table). I have images in col 1 and text in col 2. If the text in col 2 is shorter than the height of the image, the next [cryout-multi] doesn’t start below the image, but instead falls under the text in col 2. In other words there’s no clear=both it seems on the [cryout-multi] block.

How can I ensure that each [cryout-multi] block starts on a new line?

I have the oposite issued.

I resized my slider image to 800×250 and uploaded as featured image. It loads fine.

I then uploaded an new post image with dimenstions 800×400.

Then I changed mantra settings so the slider box is 800×400. However, the image has been resized to 800×250 somewhere along the way so existing images (size) 800×400 now appear in my 800×400 slider window as 800×250.

I deleted chrome cache and tried viewing the page on a different pc, still the same issue.

I uploaded the image again and applied it to a different post. Still the same issue.

Any other ideas?

Thanks for your time.

Dear sir, please tell me how to fix this error “At least one field must be set for HatomFeed” ?
Thank you in advance for your help.

[Andy]

Hi,

I am having the same issue. I have the latest ordPress 3.7.1. and have just installed Mantra v 2.2.1 by Cryout Creations.

On wp-admin/themes.php?page=mantra-page I have the error:

“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.”

I have the following installed plugins *But NONE activated:
AJAX Thumbnail Rebuild Version 1.09 | By junkcoder
Akismet Version 2.5.9 | By Automattic
Post Tabs Version 2.9.2 | By Leo Germani
WP Spry Menu Version 1.5.2 | By takien
WPtouch Mobile Plugin Version 1.9.8.8 | By BraveNewCode Inc.

Is it perhaps a problem with CHMOD on file directories as I have had that high security server issue before …

What else can I check to fix this error?

Thanks for your support,
Andy

Hi, I am a newbie here and this is my first attempt at building a website. The Mantra theme has made it very easy. I’ve exported my THEMES OPTIONS however I’ve been trying to figure out how to back up my database files and have only found “what to do” answers… but not “HOW to do”. For instance the above comment says to achieve it via “the hosting control panel”. Hope you can help because I have no idea what you’re talking about or “how” to do that…. told you, I’m a newbie!!! LOL

[Jim]

Hi Maria

There is no option to have two column pages within the theme, only single page column and variations of right and left sidebars. A plug-in like TablePress may help you achieve what you need.

I hope this helps…

Jim

[Jim]

Hi Adrian

I think this is within Parabola Settings <color settings and is the 5th field of Accents.

I hope this helps

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

[Lisa]

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..

[Robert]

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.
