Hi
I have the opposite problem my site looks fine in IE but not in Firefox. I have a page with an interactive “Adobe shockwave” file which displays in correct dimension(800×600) in IE However in Firefox only 718×540 of it shows in other words its not reduced but rather a proportion is missing hidden from view. Also the slide show page on my website (http://www.vectian-multimedia.co.uk/reference/) looks fine in IE but not in firefox. I know you might say why don’t I put the question in firefox forum I will in addition to here but I was hoping you may have a workaround for firefox.
Thank you in anticipation

My apologies, it was not our intention to offend. We’ve replaced it, however, would you be ok with us use “Created by: CryoutCreations” instead of powered by parabola & wordpress?

Hi

I think its under Color Settings then Site Tile then the 2nd of the two text fields called Site Description.

Jim…

I see nothing out of the ordinary with your website on IE9.

Could you post some screenshots with what you see out of place?

You cannot use Parabola’s slider outside of its presentation page without a lot of work.

It’s a lot easier to simply install a slider plugin and add that on your own pages.

Well the message tries to be pretty clear:
“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.”

You need to figure out if one of your plugins is breaking WordPress’ jQuery (javascript library). Best way to do this is to disable them one by one.

Zed,

that didn’t work for me. I’ve tried it with parabola-child/functions.php and parabola-child/includes/theme-functions.php

It still shows “leave a reply”.

[Zed]

Michael, I believe we’ve established your issue is hosting/security related and is caused by something completely different.

There are no built-in options for these. You’ll need to use custom CSS rules to achieve this.

The 4th column is displayed just fine.

Fields that are empty don’t get displayed (like the text and link).

I have same problem, “Continue reading” button not showing on main page, so people may think the articles are not longer, they have to click on the title itself to get to the post page. The continue reading button works fine in Categories.

Any way to fix this?

Thanks!

[Tim R]

The slider was working not anymore – constantly trying to upload images on the Presentation page and it won’t complete the task. Why would this stop all of a sudden? Someone needs to FIX THIS – unbelievable amateur stuff here.

[Tim Stone]

Just finished putting together a site based on this when the upgrade came. After the upgrade the slider and presentation columns disappeared. Hours of work out of the window. I would be more than happy to pay for the support etc, but If this was a live site for a client I would be receiving pretty strong phone calls by now. Was considering the shopping cart for two clients, but I have lost confidence in CryoutCreations

[Tim]

Hey,
I am having the same issue, after the update presentation page slider and images no longer load. I have tried the fixes listed.
1. Tried to delete theme folder and reinstall
2. disabled presentation page, delete home page and make a new one.
Still the presentation page slider and images no longer load. It appears people have fixed this issue, but its not working on this end, it may be something simple but I have not figured it out yet. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Does this work for Mantra theme as well?

I am also a newbie- what is the child theme?

[David]

Please ignore my question, my newbie issue was solved by creating a page and setting the page template to “Blog Template”.

[Johnathan]

Comment code is below:

<?php

/**

 * The template for displaying Comments.

 *

 * The area of the page that contains both current comments

 * and the comment form.  The actual display of comments is

 * handled by a callback to mantra_comment which is

 * located in the includes/theme-comments.php file.

 *

 * @package Cryout Creations

 * @subpackage mantra

 * @since mantra 0.5

 */

?>

			<div id="comments">

<?php if ( post_password_required() ) : ?>

				<p class="nopassword"><?php _e( 'This post is password protected. Enter the password to view any comments.', 'mantra' ); ?></p>

			</div><!-- #comments -->

<?php

		/* Stop the rest of comments.php from being processed,

		 * but don't kill the script entirely -- we still have

		 * to fully load the template.

		 */

		return;

	endif;

?>

<?php

	// You can start editing here -- including this comment!

?>

<?php if ( have_comments() ) : 

			

	cryout_before_comments_hook(); ?>

	<ol class="commentlist">

			

		<?php cryout_comments_hook(); ?>

	

	</ol>

	<?php cryout_after_comments_hook(); 

?><?php else : // or, if we don't have comments:

		cryout_nocomments_hook();

 endif; // end have_comments() ?>

<?php comment_form(); ?>

</div><!-- #comments --

The problem I am having with the Presentation Slider is that when I upload my photo to the Media Library, and I view it through the library, it is crystal clear and looks like what I designed.

When it shows up on the site in the Presentation Slider, it looks like a pixelized piece of garbage… I cannot use it on the site – it makes it look very unprofessional.

How do we keep the quality of the photos?

[Michael McGhie]

I am having the same type of problem. I am able to use image select option and grab the slider image which is 1050×350. When I go to [Save Changes] it it goes to page “http://psalm84christians.org/wp-admin/options.php” where it says it is unable to find that page. I tried different areas of the presentation options like the 3 column images and the pages just doesn’t want to save and goes to an unknown page. Help!

[Raul]

Recently, I used the export and import settings to manually change the text through the scripts, but I’m not exactly satisfied with the way it looks and the time it took to do that. Is there an easier way to change the front texts?

[Zed]

That’s the empty site description/tagline (which you can hide from the Header Settings).

#content .page-header { display: none;  }

will hide it via CSS

It’s the second option in the second row next to Site Title.

Hover over the fields to see their names (or click on them to open the color selector which also displays the names of the fields)

A better way of doing this is to copy that modified index.php file to a child theme (so you don’t lose it on the next update).

We’ll try to add an option for this functionality in a future update.

It’s from us… WordPress only gives you updates that have passed through the theme review.
We just didn’t get around to posting the changelog yet.

PS: One can never be too paranoid 😉

Instead of using slides you can use other options. I havent tried it but i am sure there is a way
Choose
Slides content: choose sticky posts or specific posts should help

[Fulco]

Hi Zed,

Thanx for your reply. This clarifies a lot to me. As I wrote somewhere in my previous posts, I already discovered that WP generates cropped images automatically (in an FTP client you can see that). I also figured out (after that post) that it crops to the dimensions that are set in Mantra at that time for any image uploaded after the header dimensions settings become effective.
So I can follow your story on this.
However, for a non seasoned websuite owner, and as shown by your header image, automatic cropping does not always provide a nice view. Your header image is only a part of the big image. When the header height and width are not in the same proportions as the original image, you will end up with a part that you might not like.
Unless there is a possibility to enter height and width for the chosen header image and an option to maintain aspect ratio of the original image, which is already uploaded to the media section, there will be no other option than to upload only images cropped to the correct size.
Another option would be to crop outside of WP, upload through an ftp client and select a picture by using the right url (which is somewhere in your mediasection of WP or whatever location on your server you might choose).
This last method is in my opionion not a valid option since WP advocates that it is a platform for users without knowledge.
In order to make things really user friendly, it would be neat to have the possibility to have the option in the header settings to enter height and width of the header image, an aspect ratio select/check box for cropping purpose, after which the selected header image is cropped.
This way images can be displayed as original, in whole, resized in a user friendly way.
All this of course besides the possibilities already at hand, and as shown by your image.

Again, thanx a lot for the nice Mantra theme and keep up the good work.

Regards,

Fulco

I have not been able to solve the Presentation Page Slides portion by putting in my own pictures. I just copy the link however doesn’t preview no matter what size it is. What am I not doing?. Also when I try to put in a blog it won’t finish downloading.

[John]

Same problem…can someone help?

[Deby at So Sew Easy]

Any one have any ideas on this? Since switching to the extracts view, the featured image thimbnails are tiny and I’d like to change the size, but the featured image thumbnail size doesn’t appear to be working properly.
If its not working in the Mantra options, can I change it manually in the code somewhere?
Anyone know?

Thanks, Deby
