Actually, an even better question:

I want to create a template that simply pulls a specific category for the page. I remember doing it for Parabola, but can’t seem to find the template anymore.

This is the template coding:

<?php /*
Template Name: News Template ( Posts Page)
*/ ?>

<?php get_header(); ?>

		<section id="container" class="<?php echo nirvana_get_layout_class(); ?>">
			<div id="content" role="main">
			<?php cryout_before_content_hook(); ?>
	

	<?php 
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$the_query = new WP_Query( 'post_status=publish&orderby=date&order=desc&posts_per_page='.get_option('posts_per_page').'&paged=' . $paged);?>

		<?php if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : 

				 /* Start the Loop */ 
				 while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); 
					 global $more; $more=0; 
					 get_template_part( 'content/content', get_post_format() ); 

				 endwhile; 

				if($nirvana_pagination=="Enable") nirvana_pagination($the_query->max_num_pages); else nirvana_content_nav( 'nav-below' );

			 else : ?>

				<article id="post-0" class="post no-results not-found">
					<header class="entry-header">
						<h1 class="entry-title"><?php _e( 'Nothing Found', 'nirvana' ); ?></h1>
					</header><!-- .entry-header -->

					<div class="entry-content">
						<p><?php _e( 'Apologies, but no results were found for the requested archive. Perhaps searching will help find a related post.', 'nirvana' ); ?></p>
						<?php get_search_form(); ?>
					</div><!-- .entry-content -->
				</article><!-- #post-0 -->

			<?php endif; ?>

			<?php cryout_after_content_hook(); ?>
			</div><!-- #content -->
	<?php nirvana_get_sidebar(); ?>
		</section><!-- #container -->

<?php get_footer(); ?>

Hi,
I have the same issue when I check my website on my mobile and tap menu It redirects to a search page saying not found, tap again and see the menu briefly before it disappears. Any ideas on how I rectify?
Many Thanks

I found the same incompatibility with Spider Event Calendar, it mess up all colors and it is impossible to changes.
Only deleting all plugins the situation went back.
Lot of work for nothing.
Suggestions for some calendare/events plugin?

[Adam Segev]

Found the plugin that was causing the problem. BWS plugin (adsense). Disabling the plugin did not help at all, deleting it (through ftp!) did though. Hope this helps.
I had a great time conversing with myself.:)

I scrolled through the forum and found this same issue with a browser force refresh as a fix. On a mac I hit Command + R and that did the trick. Note: it’s not enough to clear the cache on Firefox. I had tried that but the force refresh worked.
You may delete my posts if redundant!

Hi.
I agree… nothing found to translate that button.
It’s also not included in the PO-File?
Anyone can tell us the trick?

[Adam Segev]

Yep, I have the same issue. Did you try logging in as admin, previewing the page? For me that works, but obviously it’s not helpful as users are not admins.. 🙂

I haven’t found a solution to this yet. Have you?

[CVM]

Just as I gave up I found it. not super intuitive I must say!

It should show up under pages (it is a page right?) and be as easy to edit no? but perhaps I am missing something…

[SG]

OK, so I found the solution; you really have to edit it in the backend but not where Andreas thought but under “Beitragszusammenfassungen” (should be something like “Post summaries” in English). It is not included in the .po/.mo language files.

Hi again guys,

@Catalin Baicu Actually I am one of the theme developers 😉 And the reason we suggested a force refresh (normal refreshes don’t do the trick so you must go the Ctrl+F5 or Ctrl+R way) is because in this 1.4.0 update we’ve moved some JS files around inside the theme and browser cache may remember them somewhere else. And as you’ve seen, most other users found that the force refresh works. Also this is a local issue and other visitors on your sites would not encounter the issues you’re getting.

Anyway, first of all we’d have to ask you to disable the maintenance mode you have enabled right now so we can check the issue ourselves. Another thing would be to change themes and see if this still occurs. The issue with post images not showing really doesn’t have anything to do with this update. And a third thing to try would be to disable all plugins and check then.

@Daniel You have custom CSS code added to the theme. Your menu is absolute positioned and that doesn’t really work with responsiveness. Remove custom CSS related to the main menu’s positioning and everything should be back to normal.

I would rather recommend to install an earlier version of parabola instead downgrading wordpress. To downgrade wordpress is not a good idea at all as well as parabola theme is not good to downgrade it for security reasons but since there is a problem (a bug) with the theme, I only see this one option to downgrade parabola instead wordpress. However, since there is no support here on the website in regards to this issue from the author of the theme, I don’t see any solution but to downgrade to an earlier version. Now another problem is that an earlier version is not to be found on the website and so far on the internet as well. So….!!!

[Kay]

Although it may not seem like it this is more of a WordPress thing rather than a theme issue and it can get pretty complicated for a novice user.

Here are details about the WP comment_form() function http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/comment_form

Anyway, in Tempera all comment related functions are found in the /includes/theme-comments.php file. If you’re gonna try and edit anything remember to backup your files and use a child theme.

We are considering making these editable fields in a future update.

I have found a way to remove the ugly symbol. It’s not completely satisfactory because I would have liked to get the down chevron symbol back, but at least it works.
It’s simple: instead of a symbol, you put nothing.
So in the Tempera misc settings -> custom css, you paste this code:

#access > .menu > ul > li > a:not(:only-child) span:after {
    font-family:"Elusive";
    content: '';
    position: absolute; 
    right: 5px;
    top: 10px;
    z-index: 251;
	-moz-transition:all .2s ease-in-out;
	-o-transition:all .2s ease-in-out;
	-webkit-transition:all .2s ease-in-out;
	transition:all .2s ease-in-out;
} 

Since the content tag is empty, nothing is displayed. Probably it’s not necessary to paste all this code (it comes from the original tempera CSS), but I don’t want to mess up too much.

Hi Walt,
Thanks for replying!

I don’t have a plugin that lets me use html on the presentation page.

I looked at documentation regarding warnings and notice and found several answers to that problem, one of them was that the wp-debug must be turned off.
As it happens, the wp-debug (which I found in my FTP c.panel) was set to true instead of false.
How that happened…I don’t know…But I turned the wp-debug off and now my site is back to ‘normal’ (at least it looks that way).
I still don’t know what the warnings and notice were all about, but al least now I can get on with setting up my website.

Tnx once again for your help!!

[Petec]

Argh! I found it.

I have custom css code to not display the slider, but I still had the help text in the slider content windows. Removed that now and it all seems fine.

My bad

[Hannah]

I tried this and it just gives me 404 page not found. Any tips on why this is happening?
Thanks!

[Kathleen Clohessy]

It appears that this UI does not want to take the link. The name of the plugin is Custom Sidebars by WPMUDEV. It’s the easiest one I’ve found. Good luck to you.

[Silfer]

Hi Aaron,

Thanks for the help rendered; I have followed your instructions but the post titles are still above the images.

What I did was:

1. Did as per your instructions. Refreshed, and it did not work.
2. Found a second <?php tempera_set_featured_thumb(); ?> and did the same thing. It did not work as well.

What should I do? Please advise; thanks a lot!

[Cassie]

Thanks Klasu!

It worked. I’m teaching myself wordpress as I go so I didn’t even notice the link option when working with menus. I thought one could only add pages to the menu. But you got me investigating and I found it and it worked. Thanks a bunch!

By the way, in case any Mantra-making people read this, I’ve gone through SO MANY themes until I found this one. I LOVE it. Thank you for your hard work. This theme is exactly what I was looking for.

[Riana Zaayman]

Hi. I can’t seem to remove the search bar and the “Nothing Found
Apologies, but no results were found for the requested archive. Perhaps searching will help find a related post.” text above it. I did go into the widget area and dragged it out of the footer area and I’ve selected “inactive widgets”. Now I have a widget that says “search” on the left hand side with the “add” button next to it, nothing that says “search” in any of the sidebars or footer areas on the right hand side of the page and at the bottom I have “Inactive Widgets” that says “search” below the text. By my website still displays it at the bottom of the page.

I am not a programmer, nor do I understand it. But in my searches I came upon info, so I tried it out by applying my own logic to it :-). In the editor I went to style.css and replaced the word “block” with “none” in 4 places. That removed the search bar, but the text still remained. I found the text in archive.php, but I did not know how to delete it without messing up the template.

Please, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi,

I have tempera v0.99.
According to the instructions I set “Poiret+One&subset=latin-ext” in the “Tempera Settings/TEXT SETTINGS/POST TITLE FONT” field.
It does not work.

I have found a working solution, but it is very ugly.
I set only “Poiret+One” in the “Tempera Settings/TEXT SETTINGS/POST TITLE FONT” field.
I edit wp-content/themes/tempera/includes/theme-styles.php and put .”&subset=latin-ext” in the corresponding wp_register_style(). So the line is the following:
if($tempera_googlefonttitle) wp_register_style( ‘tempera_googlefonttitle’, esc_attr(“//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=”.preg_replace( ‘/\s+/’, ‘+’,$tempera_googlefonttitle ).”&subset=latin-ext”));
It works perfectly and shows the latin extended characters (e.g. Hungarian)

Could you fix Tempera theme so we can use it without this ugly work around.

Thanks!

[David]

I’m pretty much a WordPress newbie, so anything I offer may be wrong. Nonetheless, I wanted to make a change to the presentation page layout and found, within my mantra-child directory, an ‘includes’ directory containing theme-frontpage.php. ‘includes’ did not contain any other files, but if edits to includes/theme-frontpage.php would work, I’d THINK you could duplicate theme-function.php there.

However, when I edited theme-frontpage.php, it didn’t result in any changes to the site, so…?

[Jim]

Hi Jeff

Yes I was thinking yesterday that your menu did look a bit strange, and out of alignment, I am just a humble user like yourself. I did try doing a comparison between the demo Tempera page and your site to see if I could spot any obvious differences but found nothing. So what I would try, if it were me, is to de-install the theme and re-install it again. Perhaps export your settings first then re-import afterwards. If the menu then looks OK try checking that custom CSS code again. Your existing pages should not be affected but you may need to reload images into the slider.

Sorry I can’t be of more help

Jim…

[Jim]

Hi Jeff

The option you found within settings was to switch off the navigation arrows either side of the main slider image.
The only way I know of to remove those down arrows is to set up some custom CSS coding. If you go into miscellaneous settings and then paste the code below into the custom CSS area, it should do the trick.

#access > .menu > ul > li > a:not(:only-child) span:after {
content: “”;
}

I hope this helps

Jim..

Dawna is not making it up. It JUST happened to me and It freaked me out. I was tweaking the settings of a plugin and I saved it, refreshed the page and BOOM – every color is changed drastically.

I went into the color setting and all my colors are there the way I left them and I changed a couple and put them back to normal and nothing. No change. That’s what she means by no longer having control of the color settings.

I found Tempera about 3 days ago after setting up my blog with Parabola only to completely lose all my work after trying to switch url’s. I’m glad that headache happened because I absolutely love Tempera. But if this happened so often with Dawna it scares me that I’ll be having to change the colors every so often.

[Eric]

Hi folks,

I love this theme. I’m working on a new site using it, which uses widgets instead of posts on the presentation page. Under the Cryout widgets, there’s a search bar that gives the ‘Nothing Found’ message. I can’t seem to find where to remove the search box. Can you point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

[Ingo]

Found it! Jim answered it in another topic. you can find it here:

[maren]

I found a way around it. It seems to be a Tempera problem.
At Appearance: Header ( Not the header in Tempera Settings)
Upload a transparent image as a header. This wil keep the space.
At Tempera Settings> Header Settings, play around with the Header Image Checkboxes, the height etc. until your logo is where you want it on mobile.
If Anyone has a better solution than this, please let me know?
Thanks

[Tim]

Hi. I’m having the same issue. If I reduce the number of displayed posts to less than the number of posts on my site, when I go to page 2 I get

“Not Found

Apologies, but the page you requested could not be found. Perhaps searching will help.”

I am still using Tempera 0.9.7 because my site needs pages, not a continuously expanding front page. Is there a fix for my site?

Hi there,

i am just starting with wordpress and i am looking for a responsive theme. i found yours and i like it a lot. there is just one issue with the responsivness of it.

it works fine on my phone, but i dont have a tablet to try it. anyway i did manually resize it on my pc.

if i open the browser as a full window it looks great, if i start to shrink the window it just doesnt shrink the images in the header slider of your theme until to a certain point, after that it works fine again and just minimizes everything, but from full screen (1920px) to about have of the screen size it just shrinks the website but the image of the header slider stays at the original size and it will display me a scrollbar.

this also happens, when i view a post itself. here it shows a horizontal scrollbar until i shrink it down as much that the widget bar (no matter if right or left) gets moved to the bottom, because of not enough space…

could you have a look into this. Yours is so far the best responsive layout i found. its only this little glithc
