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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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…

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.

Hi there Jim, Many thanks I have tried to substitute H2 for the H1 but it just becomes very small and justified to the left. But I will keep trying. I am wondering where I find the definitions of H1 H2 etc. Perhaps I need to change one of these?
Its a good theme and I am going to persevere.

I tried these steps and the slider still has the spinning circle. I also don’t know why my posts keep disappearing. This is my fourth time posting here about this. I’m glad I didn’t send my $25.00 because this thing just isn’t working.

Where should the custom CSS be added? I placed it in the Custom CSS field in your porabola template, saved, but the category labels still appear:

Miscellaneous Settings >
/* Parabola Custom CSS */
#content .category-archive-meta { display: none; }

Example: http://avanteideas.com/just4fun/category/minecraft/
You’ll see the “Category Archives: Minecraft” label just above the post.

[Jim]

Hi Mark

You could try this (see link below), I presume you are using custom slides? I tried it for the slider text and it did justify the text to the right, and using the indent tool as well pushed it further.
It will work for the text area but not the title.

Hi

Sorry..please ignore what I said above

“As long as you put a copy of the folder, with the path. within your child theme you should be OK, they should not get overwritten by a theme update i.e. Parabola-child/images/socials”

I tried it out and it didn’t work as I thought, I suspect you’ll possibly need some change to the theme-functions.php file, but I’m not sure exactly what.

Hi Guys,
I’m using WordPress for the first time and I use the Parabola theme (i really like the slider on the presentation page/homepage).
I have a blog, and I want my readers to be able to click on ‘previous page’ and ‘next page’, so they can have a look around. But this doesn’t show up on my blog (my blog is not online yet, just local). I added a plugin called “WP-PageNavi” but the previous and next button doesn’t show up. Can anyone help me out?

Then I have another problem: on my homepage (where al my blogposts will be shown), i want a left sidebar with, for example, a ‘categories’ widget. I have installed this, but it’ll be only show up at the other menu pages, but not on the presentation page/homepage. Does anyone know how i can fix it?

I’m sorry, my English is not very good 🙂

[Jim]

Hi Valerie

There is nothing is the Parabola Settings so has to be done via custom CSS at:

#front-text1 h1, #front-text2 h1.

Just a note, I changed mine but then had an issue with responsiveness see here:

I hope this helps

Hi

That’s good to hear, there were a couple of slider widths of 600px and 640px showing earlier which led me to the plug in. They aren’t showing now so hopefully all should be well.

Cheers

Jim…
