You’ll need some CSS tweaks to achieve that and I don’t see either the HTML module or a newsletter module on your site.

First step is OK, I just add this line under the header
Second step is the problem – I cannot find registered lie in mantra theme
Third ste is OK, I just add this to style.css

There’s already a way to add your custom social icons. Just not the easiest.

1. For the logo image, if your logo is already in the media gallery, find its URL and try to copy/paste it into the logo URL field.

2. All widgets have particular classes/ids which can be used with CSS for cutomizations.

3.
#branding { position: relative; }
#access {position: relative; margin-top: -30px; }

1. is a tag required for compatibility with older Internet Explorer versions; will be removed once IE8 is completely phased out and no longer used.

2. I remember that was supposed to be fixed; we’ll have a look at it.

3. will eventually be fixed

4. this is not caused by the theme, as it looks to be from the menu or a (category?) widget

5. until WordPress allows better control on the order of en-queueing styles, we have no way to correct this;

anyone!? these issues are driving me crazy!! especially the logo question.. no matter what I have tried I CANNOT set a logo image!!

[intelligenceordeath]

I was having the same issue, and realized that if I deleted the hash mark from each “link” field for the social media icons, the icons disappeared! Hope this helps anyone else having this issue!

Okay, so that clarifies the oddness (since both themes use 95% the same code).

While that plugin is no longer maintained, I doubts its the culprit, as the slider works fine in my tests with the plugin installed.

Plus, I see your website is loading a jQuery copy from code.google.com, while my WordPress with Parabola and the Timeshow plugin load the local copy of jQuery.

Check your other plugins as well…

Did you add widgets to the right sidebar as well?

Unlike Mantra (if you’ve previously used it), in Parabola the right sidebar is always the right sidebar, and left sidebar is always left. When using only one sidebar layouts, the widgets don’t get moved over.

The header should become transparent by simply leaving the background colour field empty (this trick works even in Mantra on all background colours). There’s no need to edit files for this.

Hi Zed,

Thank you for the info. The permalinks appear to be OK. The problem was only manifesting itself on the last post I made, which I had done just after I installed the latest Mantra update. I therefore assumed incorrectly that this was the reason for the error. Having checked that the permalink setting was correct and with the knowledge that the theme was not to blame. I decided that there must be some data corruption so I deleted that post and re-did it. The problem seems to have resolved itself.

I think somehow, that the post id had become corrupted. The post was visible on the posts page (called article blog) and the title was visible in the Archive and Recent Post widgets but if you clicked on the widget links or the “more” link from within the post itself it came up with the 404 error page.

Anyway, it is all resolved now. Thank you for your help.

I really like the versatility of your theme and have used it on my friend’s website too. Her website is called http://www.humblebeevintage.co.uk. I have three more domains which I will be setting up shortly and intend to use your theme on all of those as well.

Many thanks for your help

I get the Not Found error on all browsers.

Make sure the page with that ID exists, that the page is published and is publicly visible.

That only happens if you leave links blank (or use #) since WordPress believes they link to the homepage and marks them as “current”. It is not a bug.

Never mind. This can be marked as resolved. I found a work around from earlier posts.

[Detlef]

You can either use a custom menu and arrange it accordingly

Or, if you prefer to stay with the automatically generated menu, just use the ORDER field when you edit a page and arrange it accordingly

[Zed]

Hi.

Sorry about that. We edited the CSS a bit to improve compatibility for plugins that add custom content inside posts, and we overdid it a bit, leaving the excerpts out of the configurable options.

We’ve already fixed this and submitted the update. You can grab the fixed mantra/admin/custom-styles.php file right now from the 2.0.5 archive and replace the existing one.

Also add these lines to the custom CSS field:
.entry-content, .entry-content p, .entry-summary, .entry-summary p {
font-size:15px; line-height:1.7em; }
.entry-content p, .entry-summary p { margin-bottom: 10px; }

Update. I think I may have found a plug-in that was causing the problem “User Login”. Deactivating that has partly fixed the problem, will give it a day and see if everything else comes right.

[Dean]

I think my problem may be related. I run three sites, http://www.militarymodels.co.nz, http://www.wwimodeller.co.nz and http://www.wwiimodeller.co.nz. Exact same settings on all three sites. WWIModeller and WWIIModeller no problems (so far). Militarymodels only works completely in Chrome. In Explorer, Firefox and Safari several widgets dissapear from the left sidebar (including categories and links) on the home page but appear on other pages. When the categories widget does appear the category links then only show posts up until the end of May.
Don’t get why it only effects one site.

[Zed]

Add a class on the image, for example class=”borderless”

Then go to the custom CSS field and add in
img.borderless { border: 0 !important; padding: 0 !important; }

I tried another theme and the problem went away. How can I fix this uploading problem in Mantra? I really want to keep using this theme.

[Zed]

You could try using the multiple columns shortcode to achieve that:

[mantra-multi]
[mantra-column width="1/3"]row 1, col 1[/mantra-column]
[mantra-column width="1/3"]row 1, col 2[/mantra-column]
[mantra-column width="1/3"]row 1, col 3[/mantra-column]
[/mantra-multi]
[mantra-multi]
[mantra-column width="1/3"]row 2, col 1[/mantra-column]
[mantra-column width="1/3"]row 2, col 2[/mantra-column]
[mantra-column width="1/3"]row 2, col 3[/mantra-column]
[/mantra-multi]

and so on…

More experimentation shows that the mobile menu problem in Firefox & IE (or very tiny sized regular browser window on desktop/laptop) only applies to the “Primary Navigation” menu. ‘Top Navigation’, ‘Footer Navigation’ or a ‘menu’ widget that allows the menu to be seen in a sidebar DO NOT SHOW THE SAME PROBLEM.

The ‘Primary Navigation’ menu has CSS stylings to appear ‘button-like’ All of the other menus/locations are straight html links.

Hope you get this fixed soon. I love Mantra, but I’m getting pressure to find a new theme.

[Rho Chalmers]

Looks like your problem is a jquery problem in Firefox and IE https://github.com/jquery/jquery-mobile/issues/5829 I’m not a jquery coder, so can’t help you more than that.

[Rho Chalmers]

As mentioned by another user, viewing site on laptop but making the browser very small activates the Mantra “mobile” view and “mobile menu”. The currently viewed category/page IS, INDEED, listed in the menu. The problem actually seems to be browser specific.

The menu refuses to navigate to the default listed item, even if you click to another page, in the following browsers: Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer.

The default menu item works if you navigate away and then back in the following browsers: Safari and Android Browser. Hope this helps!

[Zed]

The issue only appears when the currently viewed category/page is not listed in the menu. We are still working on improving the mobile menu.

Hey guys,
I am currently using your Mantra theme on the website above, and the client would like to be able to set different font sizes in the Extra Text sections of the Presentation Page. What they had in mind was something like a ‘Header 1’ for the text above the slider, and ‘Header 2’ for the text under the slider — the bottom text is fine as-is.

There doesn’t seem to be any way to do this ATM, so would it be feasible to include this option in a future revision of Mantra? TIA.
Terry Chadban

[Rho Chalmers]

I’m having the same problem with the Mobile Menu defaulting to the last item in my menu list. In addition to the behavior described above, it appears that it is impossible to navigate to the defaulted menu item – even once I’ve navigated away and then selected the item again.
Thanks

[PIxelcraft]

This error occasionally shows up in my admin area, but only shows for a brief instant then goes away. There are no further issues after the error disappears, so I am just ignoring it. I first noticed it after manually installing a carousel slider (non-plug in) onto the presentation page.

[Zed]

Mantra does not load JS libraries from external sources. It uses the built-in WordPress jQuery.

The “There’s a problem with your WordPress jQuery library.” message pretty much says it all… there’s an issue with your WordPress/jQuery, most likely caused by a plugin (since not all obey the rules and use the built-in version).

See question D6 in the FAQs.

Jaimie, I just realized, you must be on blogger? I assume that since, a few years back, google stopped their widget “google friend connect” from being used in anything but blogger. Well that was the last I knew of it, maybe now they do?

I don’t think this theme is for anything but for WordPress, you may find help for what you are trying to do on your blog through google blogger, if I am correct. 🙂 I maybe part of your theme that you are using on your blog as well, that maybe something you can look into.

Good Luck!
