Hi.

I would have replied to your previous forum topic, I just didn’t get around to it.

The checkbox you mention does a totally different thing than the issue you reported. It’s meant for the mobile/responsiveness view of the site, it has nothing to do with featured images used as header images.

The fix we included in Mantra 2.1 / Parabola 1.0.1 makes the theme use the image with the exact size as the header to display there. This works when the uploaded image is bigger or at least exactly the size of the header (as configured).

The trick is that WordPress generates cropped images on upload, and it generates them on the sizes configured at that exact moment. If in the meantime you changed your header size, the images are no longer valid and it reverts to using the full size version.

I tested this behaviour (after implementing the fix) and as you can see in the image below, the 1920×1080 image (which is also displayed in the post, but also set as a featured image) is cropped and resized to fit in the header at the correct size (as configured in the settings).

If you still encounter issues getting the wrong image size after the updates, try to delete that image from the library and re-upload it (to force WordPress to re-create the smaller versions).

The presentation page fields (most of them) support shortcodes.
So you’ll need to use a plugin that lets you embed videos via shortcodes (like Jetpack does)

I did see that issue on IE8 (and we plan to fix it in a future update), but in IE9 it worked fine for me.

What exact IE versions did you test on?

Hi
I had the same problem and i had to redo all of my pics and galleries in Cincopa and run them from there. Now it is working =)
Although i have a problem with my blog page that is not showing excerpts and i can´t figure out why. I have all the boxes checked that i am supposed to have (i think), but it is still showing as a full post. Why? Can anyone help me, please?

Gernot, that was the perfect solution to what I was experiencing as well, thank you.

Now my blog posts are showing up, and also my sidebar! You are brilliant!

Thank you so much,
Julia

Thanks for your advice XB0n3, unfortunately I tried that but it didn’t work either!
I think it may have something to do with the url of my website?
I have 2 websites-
http://www.thecallrecorderstore.com
and
http://www.thecallrecorderstore.com/Blog/
and only the /Blog one is wordpress- that’s the one I’m trying to edit- I’m not really sure how it works to be honest but I think the problem could be to do with this?

[Alice]

Hi there. This is exactly what I am looking to do and the above seems very helpful. Unfortunately as a newbie to this I am not sure where the index.php is (or where my parabola folder is for that matter)
I can see Parabola “settings” but I cannot see it in there.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. 🙂

[robbierut]

mobile view isn’t found under that name, but under responsive 😉 can be found at the layout settings 🙂

[Zed]

Those are category pages. Create category links for various categories in your menu – http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#adding-category-pages

Hi Mauro,

I also started using the Parabola Theme and I wanted to display the blog beneath the presentation page. I couldn’t find any option in the Settings Page to do so, but a very small modification of the template code seems to do the trick:

Get the index.php in your Parabola folder
in line number 16 in that file, instead of “else :” write “endif;”
in line number 59 delete the “endif;”
Upload the modified index.php to your Parabola folder

I’ve done it this way and for me it works, so far nothing seems broken.

Hi,
For some reason the slider just won’t work on my website, I am very new to the theme so it may be that I just haven’t figured it out yet.
The presentation page is enabled, and I have uploaded several slides, but for some reason they just do not show up on the actual website.
Not really sure what to do- having read the above posts, I tried disabling the other plugins but this didn’t make a difference.
I have updated WordPress, so it is the most recent version.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers,
Sarah

Hello Sarah I had the same problem.
I disabled the presentation page. deleted my static home page. and made a new static home page Enabled the presentation page and it worked again.
hope it helps you out.

#footer2 { color: #fff; }
#footer2 a { color: #fff; }

Rounded corners are a bit more complicated; first leave the Footer Widget Background Color field empty
#footer { background: none !important; }
#colophon { background: #f5f5f5; }
#footer2 { border-radius: 0 0 10px 10px; }

Mantra doesn’t yet include native support for WordPress 3.6’s galleries.
We are looking into this…

Ok then – that would answer why they don’t work.

What plug-in would work for the demo pages and templates? None of the template pages seem to be working either. Tried using two columns, sidebar on right and it’s just one column with right sidebar.

Thanks!

I’ve got the same problem. I tried with a differt template, no problem. Only with Mantra template.

[Jenny]

I want to disable the slider on the presentation page, as I’m not needing it at all, but there’s badly no option for it 🙁 I’m using a child theme and all I found was (when I tried to find the right file for customizing, a function called

if ($mantra_frontpage=="Enable" && is_front_page() ) {
mantra_frontpage_generator();
} 

but haven’t found the code of the function right now ;(

How can I do that?

Thank you VERY much! Somehow I didn’t immediately notice that after installing the latest Mantra update, but now I can see the difference as I “test navigate” my way through the drop-down menus. Perfect!

[Brandy]

Help Please!!! 🙂

[Gabi]

Hi Gang –
So I tried this myself manytimes but to no avail. I know (at least I suspect) I need to work with the header.php file right before the <!– #branding –> div.

Anyone has an idea how should this be done? Any hints greatly appreciated.

thanks
gabi

I tried C23 Faq’s but can’t find #access, #access .menu { text-align:center; } in CSS

The drowdowns now have both a show delay and a hide delay, to make the navigation less prone to errors when moving the mouse incorrectly.

There are no configurable options for these delays.

Parabola supports full-width header image, but in a not-documented (yet) way:

Remove your current header image and leave the header background colour field empty. Do set the header the desired height, though.

Then use this custom CSS to define the full-width header image:

#header-full { background: url(path/to/full/header/image.png) top|center|bottom center|left|right no-repeat|repeat-x; }

Keep in mind this image is not responsive and also that you’ll need a proper sized image that either repeats itself cleanly or looks properly on all screen sizes.

The mobile menu should behave itself in the latest 2.0.7.x updates.

The “mobile” option is now called “responsiveness” and it’s under Layout Settings.

Remove any custom sizing you applied, revert your website width to a fixed value and remove your header image.

Also remove the header background colour by leaving the header background colour field empty.

Then add this custom CSS:

#header-full { background: url(path/to/your/full/width/header-image.png) top center no-repeat; }

Or you can leave background colour fields empty in the settings.
