Parabola is a mobile-responsive site,

Please tell me where you get your information from. The FAQ says it’s responsive, not mobile responsive.

[SK]

Go to Parabola Settings–>Graphics Settings–>Traingle Accents – select ‘disable’.

this should remove it.

[Ian Eric]

Just like to add that I am indeed using the Parabola theme on my site…in case that matters!

[Kay]

Hi Julie,

Yes, you can only choose one category for the columns. If you want more control over them there’s a “Specific Posts” option where you can add the IDs of the posts you want.

Also, you seem to be using the Presentation Page just like it was intended to. We just added a Showcase forum for Tempera but you can check the Parabola and Mantra Showcase forums for more inspiration/understanding.

Good luck!

Hi Aaron,

That’s a good temp solution but you’ll lose all those changes when you update WordPress next time. We will add an option to the menu alignment in the next Parabola update to take care of that.

Until then, if you don’t want to edit any code you could just create a new menu with the menu items order reversed.

Good luck!

With help from Brian (Supertech from Bluehost.com) we were able to solve the settings and category problems at the same time. We created a test folder in a different c-panel location from the wp-contents folder where my site is located. We installed a new copy of WordPress (in case the old was corrupted) then uploaded in new copy of Parabola. We created a dummy post, page and category. Then we checked to see if they displayed properly–which they did. Finally, we copied the contents of the Parabola folder from the tested site into the original site Parabola folder, replacing the corrupted contents. Apparently, Parabola’s settings are stored in the database, because all my original setting were preserved when the corrupted files were replaced. I hope this is a helpful repair option even though we still don’t know what files were corrupted. We do know, however, that the problem occurred after we installed the wooCommerce plugin.

[Rick]

The settings for Parabola are somehow have become locked and my categories will no longer display post excerpts form the menu. It’s a very stubborn problem, even restoring from backup doesn’t help. Any ideas

[Andreu]

You can traslate the complete Theme, or just the words you need editing the languages files you’ll find on /public_html/wp-content/themes/parabola/languages

The easyest way is using PoEdit.
Which language do you need to translate to?

[Zachariah]

Hi ZED, no. What it was was an incompability with woo-commerce and parabola.

I went to the FAQ that cryoutcreations has, and was able to find a child theme, badabing my problem was solved.

[Zed]

Tempera no longer has a pagination on the presentation page (as that was broken); we’ve replaced it with a “read more” button which loads another set (page) of posts below.

Parabola does not have a pagination on the presentation page (yet).

Read C17 in the FAQ: http://www.cryoutcreations.eu/parabola/parabola-faqs/

*sorry i meant Parabola theme =D

[Walt]

Parabola Settings >> Graphics Settings >> Pagination >> Enable

[Walt]

Not sure what you mean by “one thread”, but you can adjust the amount of posts in Appearance >> Parabola Settings >> Presentation Page >> Show Post on Presentation Page.

Or, if you are looking for XXX amount of characters to be shown in the post, Post Excerpt Settings >> Number of words for post excerpts

[Walt]

The theme’s slider is only part of the presentation page and cannot be used anywhere else. There are plugins out there which allow you to create sliders on your pages.

Columns can not be used on the same page as the slider. You can however pick your default column in Appearance >> Parabola Settings >> Layout Settings >> Main Layout
Alternatively, you can choose which columns you want on any specific page in Page Attributes / Template

[Kim]

Bear with me, I did just now locate your explanation that Feature Images displays on excerpts only and not on full posts. Too bad. Can you please let me know if you add full posts as a feature so I can switch back to Parabola? It’s the only thing holding me back from using the terrific theme.

Thanks!
Kim

Hi there guys,

Have You already got the pagination on presentation page in magazine view? I can’t find a way to turn it on. I was looking on this forum, and found topic where You write thay it will appear in next version of Parabola however I see here thay people have it already… Can You please help? Thanks!

[rig]

Hi I came across your page by accident after searching and searching…. I believe you’re the best! I actually like Parabola as well.

I am a volunteer at this church and really don’t make anything… but the satisfaction that I am helping others.

As you can see I have a rough draft going on already:
http://www.laprimerasf.org

the old website I had was
http://www.laprimerasf.com

as you can see there’s a huge difference:

before I put long hours to this site, I decided to beg you to help me, LOL…
I know im a bit ambitious but this is my model of website I some day envision to have:

http://www.gty.org/

right know im having difficulty trying to make it look like the demo you have, let alone
the one I like….

Thank you for your help…. Any help will be appreciated….

[Walt]

Appearance >> Parabola settings >> layout settings >> content/sidebar width, that will allow you to adjust the static width on for the website and automagically make the slider bigger, but if you don’t have the pictures in the slider big enough to fit, they will become distorted.

[Zed]

Thanks for the correction. This will be included in Parabola 1.4 (better late then never 🙂 ).

Yes, I’m using the latest worpress version 3.9.1. I tried all browsers and still can’t get the “Parabola Settings” to work and some other settings.

[Best theme]

No I am no designer (and I am not doing anything for money) just would have been interested to know what happens after donating the 25$. Is there a plugin to download or anything like that?
But it’s ok if there is no info on this then just have to look for an other theme. There are plenty of them but not many are as good as Tempera and Parabola.

[Walt]

To change the bg color settings, strangely enough it’s actually in the color settings.
Appearance >> Parabola settings >> Color settings >> Site title > Background

Just take out the white color and that will solve your second question as well.

[Walt]

lol

Appearance >> Parabola Settings

Go peruse around there for a while. Most of what you asked about is in there.

[Walt]

Protip: Parabola questions should go into the Parabola forum, not the Mantra forum.

[Neal]

Okay, so I was just a little slow to notice the toggles in the Parabola settings for turning off display of those slider controls.

Carry on. Nothing more to see here 🙂

[Walt]

Your website is clearly not using the Parabola theme.

[Walt]

Appearance >> Parabola Settings >> Header Settings >> Header Height

[Gerry O’Hara]

Hi,

I’m having the same problem as Ian — I added the Google Analytics code to each page of the site (Parabola) but the site is not recognized by GA (a GA account was properly set up first). So then I also added the code to the header.php right before the last </head> but still not recognized by GA.

Any help you can provide is appreciated!

Gerry

I tried Parabola settings >> Layout settings but there is no way to change menu to RTL direction
