Hi there this is a big problem with both this theme and parabola they both will not turn off responsive design, i really want to use these themes and might even donate if this feature actually worked, the reason i want responsive to be turned off is because i custom create my websites to fit exactly how i want them to for each device and do the css myself for all the most common widths, this way i get the exact desired look on each device, i dont want to start digging around parabola or nirvanas theme files to disable this myself when it apparently comes as standard. please could you release and update as soon as possible? you said you would fix it asap for next release on the 24th and you then released an update on the 25th without fixing the issue! ty

Hi to both of you. I don’t have an answer to your problems but was wondering how you got bbpress to look like that on the Parabola theme. I’ve been searching and adjusting for a week now and nothing I do changes anything. I still have the adverts on the right of the forum which I want to replace with forum posts and information. Also the posts all look like my blog and not like a forum should. I tried the recommendations from bbpress and NOTHING has worked.

I’m not a coder or programmer so as simple as possible would be appreciated.

Thanks

I HAVE UPGRADED TO WORDPRESS 4.00
Yeah there are some issues with the Temera theme on WORDPRESS 4.
Firstly, I am great fan of CRYOUT teams theme, and presently using Tempera and Parabola, AND I LOVE IT. Thanks to to Team CRYOUT, great work, keep it up.
Now, only TEMPERA issue on wordpress 4 is that on presentation page, the site now SHOW FULL POST AND NOT THE SUMMARY.
The site was showing latest 10 posts with summary on the presentation page.
So, I decided to change the theme to PARABOLA, another beautiful theme, but the problem is same. The presentation page here as well shows full post instead of the summary. And I loved the summary in the theme. And on PARABOLA theme social media shows only four buttons, altough I have set it to five buttons.
Otherwise they work absolutely fine.
Now my site is on PARABOLA theme.
Please, fix it, as I love your themes.
Regards
Saran

I have reproduced this error:

Env:
WP 4.0 (clean install on linux)
Nirvana 0.9.5.1 (taken from SVN a few hours after checkin!)

Reproduce:
In any browser (IE11 or Chrome 39.0.2159.4 canary (64-bit) or normal Chrome release)
Open WP admin
Install Nirvana and activate style
Go to Appearance/Nirvana Settings
The settings page is shown but the accordion will not work (nothing expands)

Diagnosis:
[A similar issue has been raised on Parabola http://www.cryoutcreations.eu/forums/t/a-problem-with-your-wordpress-jquery-library that has very similar code to Nirvana]

In this case there is an error on the admin.js script (I think caused by something not loading correctly) where wp is defined but wp.media is not – so you are reading through a null reference.

_orig_send_attachment = wp.media.editor.send.attachment

Hack:
I have proven this to be the issue because I took this whole function out of the jQuery.ready function and now the settings accordion works and I can actually set things!

This is NOT the correct fix but I offer it as the only way I can get it working. Over to you guys to correct properly as only you can!

Many thanks for a great theme!

jQuery(document).ready(function() {

var uploadparent = 0;
function media_upload( button_class) {
// var _custom_media = true,
// _orig_send_attachment = wp.media.editor.send.attachment;
// jQuery(‘body’).on(‘click’,button_class, function(e) {
// uploadparent = jQuery(this).closest(‘div’);
// var button_id =’#’+jQuery(this).attr(‘id’);
// /* console.log(button_id); */
// var self = jQuery(button_id);
// var send_attachment_bkp = wp.media.editor.send.attachment;
// var button = jQuery(button_id);
// var id = button.attr(‘id’).replace(‘_button’, ”);
// _custom_media = true;
// wp.media.editor.send.attachment = function(props, attachment){
// if ( _custom_media ) {
// jQuery(‘.custom_media_id’).val(attachment.id);
// uploadparent.find(‘.slideimages’).val(attachment.url);
// uploadparent.find(‘.imagebox’).attr(‘src’,attachment.url);
// jQuery(‘.custom_media_image’).attr(‘src’,attachment.url).css(‘display’,’block’);
// } else {
// return _orig_send_attachment.apply( button_id, [props, attachment] );
// }
// }
// wp.media.editor.open(button);
// return false;
// });
}

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(); ?>

Parabola settings // layout settings // main layout
That is where you choose your default column layout. Keep in mind that if you change this, any other page that you haven’t set a template to will be changed.

Sticky posts under presentation page:
parabola settings //presentation page // show posts on presentation page
Enable and choose how many posts you want on there.

[Colin]

I have the same issue. Is it a bug, just doesn’t seem to be there. Parabola does work well. I thought it just wasn’t savin hence the post a few weeks back. no answer from Cryout, maybe it needs funding to get a response.

[martin]

After a WP 4.0 update, I tried the Parabola 1.4 upgrade again,

but the same problem,

and several people have reported this problem,

but no help other than clear your cache, or try again has been offered,

🙁

[Bernhard]

Problem solved. I use additional web fonts and when I upgraded to Parabola 1.4 they had to be added again, of course. Well, apparently when I did so I accidentally replace the new “fontfaces.css” file with the old one which didn’t include the CSS for the new “elusive” font for mobile view. Happy again! Thankyou for your attention and thank you for this great theme!

[Ceci]

I’m using the parabola theme, how to add a youtube video to the columns on the presentation page

[Asaf]

I have the same problem I updated parabola and toggle menu disapeared

[Bernhard]

Could somebody please give a helping hand to sort this out? Before the update to Parabola 1.4 the responsive menu worked flawlessly. Thankyou, Bernhard

[Walt]

[quote]It should show up under pages (it is a page right?)[/quote]

No, it shouldn’t. Appearance // Parabola Settings // Presentation Page is pretty straightforward.

[Walt]

Appearance >> Parabola Settings >> on the right column click on Color Schemes >> click on a scheme and hit load at the bottom of the page.

Also, this forum is for the Parabola theme, not the Mantra theme.

[Walt]

Also looks like you’re using Mantra and not Parabola.

[Sarah]

My link wasn’t showing up, so I’ll try again: http://www.sjswebdesign.co.uk/quick-fix-parabola-theme-and-woocommerce-broken-background-and-layout/

[Sarah]

I’ve just been working on a workaround to solve all my Parabola-WooCommerce problems. My layout was broken, breadcrumbs and shop titles weren’t showing up, and the shop-page background was missing so all my products floated above my page background and clashed terribly.

I wrote up my fix in case it helps anybody: .

That’s just until Cryout make Parabola WooCommerce compatible…

[martin]

By the way,

you probably meant to link to this *parabola* page instead:

https://wordpress.org/themes/parabola/developers/

[silvia]

Hi Patrick! I´m having the same problem than yours. I can´t center my menu. I´ve tried with the option Parabola Settings > Graphics Settings > Menu Alignment > Centre, but it doen´t work. I´ve checked your web site and I see the your menu is centered right now. How did you get it?

[Paula Spencer-Snell]

Hi, I have just installed Parabola v 1.4.0 and the slideshow doesn’t work at all. I have used 3 different themes today and they all work except this theme. Any suggestions would be great please?

[Kay]

@martin Thanks a lot for the feedback and the help you provide but please don’t share unverified links of theme files.

For other users looking for older theme versions, you can always find them on WordPress.org. All of Parabola’s previous theme updates can be found and downloaded from here https://wordpress.org/themes/tempera/developers/

@ Catalin

Here is a zipped copy of the previous Parabola theme folder:

-LINK REMOVED-

This is what I did – do at your own risk!

Export Parabola settings. Log out. Log into file manager and delete the Parabola folder, replace with old. Log in, import settings. Works. For me.

It would be good if the previous version was always available on this site.

Hi Kay.

I have tried your recommendation by refreshing the website with ctrl+F5 or ctrl+R , even more I have simply refreshed with F5 on windows pc, and also by using the browser refresh button and all this for more then 10 times each, and still the images on the slideshow and all posts images are still broken and don’t show.

However, I have done also a big research into trying to downgrade to an earlier version of PARABOLA and seems that at least from the parabola team developers I have not yet received any help apart of suggesting to refresh my page which obviously turned to be of no help.

Anyway, refreshing my page was a primary instinct of mine when I saw this broken images straight after upgrading the parabola theme. But thank you anyway for your help and again I have to repeat that the problem with the new update of parabola v.1.4.0 is still not resolved!

[Kay]

You should never make direct change to theme files. Can you access your WordPress folder via FTP? If you can then delete the Parabola folder from the theme files. Then install a fresh copy.

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….!!!

[Catalin Baicu]

Hi Martin.

Can you tell me please where do you get the the previous version of parabola from? I can’t find it in order to downgrade it. I ‘ve been searching on the cryoutcreations.eu and there are no previous versions to download!

Please let me know…

[Doug Cook]

Thanks. When this happened to me a year ago, the blog directed me to a spot in one of the Parabola settings page and I had to select/deselect one of the boxes. Unfortunately, I didn’t write it down.
Additionally, none of my slideshows on the other pages are working, not just the presentation page. My provided has been too busy to talk to me, so I will keep trying.

[Catalin Baicu]

Since in the same day parabola and wordpress had updates, then I can only assume that in parabola theme it must be an incompatibility with the new version of wordpress which is 3.9.2.

Again both the parabola theme and wordpress had updates today.
A work around would be to install the previous wordpress versions to see if it works but again thats not the ultimate solution since updating the wordpress app is about security and other bug fixes as well.

[Catalin Baicu]

Usually when all images “disappear” in a theme or WordPress its a something also that deals with the web hosting company or a security plugin that has image hot-liking enabled! but in my case this is not what is happening since the anti-hot-linking is disabled on my host and security plugin.

@ Douglas Cook….Try to contact you hosting provider and ask them to disable the anti-hot liking of images and after a few minutes refresh the page then see if that solves the problem, but I personally don’t think so because if that would have been the problem then all images were gone, but in this case is only the slideshow and posts images who disappeared.

And one more thing! the parabola theme I use is on a child theme so the parent theme is parabola and the child theme is the one I have created so it should’t be any problem on the update unless the theme has bugs, which in this and previous cases it seems to have.

[Wally MacKay]

Exact same issue – just updated Parabola to v 1.4.0 and it broke my presentation page slider.
