Hello again,
I just tried deactivating the plugin “AMP for WP – Accelerated Mobile Pages for WordPress” and it did the trick, Parabola Settings is working again as before. I believe there’s some kind of conflict between the two plugins, unfortunately!

[kvalentk]

Oh dear! I did as you directed but category descriptions still did not display. I’ve since backed that out and then spent about four hours inserting and replacing code as directed by the WordPress Codex and as suggested by everyone I could find by searching for how to display category descriptions, and nothing has worked. I’ve worked with both the archive.php and the category.php pages. What should I do now?

Parabola is a beautiful theme and I appreciate Appearance > Parabola Settings instead of the customizer, but I just gotta have category descriptions display.

That text is placed in one of the theme’s presentation page feature extra text fields. You’ll find its control under Appearance > Parabola Settings > Presentation Page > Extra

Parabola displays featured images in posts lists, not on single post/page views.

I never found out how to change margins in Parabola, but I did find out how to change margins on a Woocommerce Shop page to match the Parabola margins. Here’s the custom CSS to enter into Appearance > Parbola Settings > Miscellaneous Settings > Custom CSS:

.woocommerce #mainwoo {
padding-left: 41px;
padding-top: 15px;
}

Hi All,

My site is using a Parabola child theme with a few styles that differ from the main theme. After updating the Parabola theme, the featured photos stopped displaying on the posts and pages. Is the updated theme the cause or is something else the culprit? I’d be much obliged to be pointed in the right direction.

Thanks

Same problem here.

I wanted the possibility to link first to pages (as is possible in Nirvana and Parabola btw) and then from those pages, go over to categories. The only other way I could think to solve this would be if the link to the “post” could be changed to link to a page instead (as far as I can see, not possible) -or- if the icon boxes could have images instead of icons (also not possible as far as I can see, at least without being a developer, which I am not).

Sad because I really like this one. Any other ideas?

[kvalentk]

I’ve moved to a new hosting provider and the site is again up in development. So here’s the problem again: I’m using Parabola and Woocommerce, and the left margins in the content area are different. See these pages:

http://biz229.inmotionhosting.com/~kathar17/artcards.gallery/about-art-cards-gallery/ for Parabola
http://biz229.inmotionhosting.com/~kathar17/artcards.gallery/shop/ for Woocommerce

How can I change the left margin of the content area in Parabola css using custom CSS in Appearance > Parabola Settings > Miscellaneous Settings?

Thanks.

[wackychimp]

What was the solution to this? I am having the same problem.

WP 4.8
Parabola v1.3.4
FireFox 54.0.1

[Zed]

If you’re asking from the theme settings perspective, Parabola is using the previous settings page interface, while for Anima we had to adopt the now enforced customizer interface for theme options.

Due to this the options are mostly different between the two themes and direct settings migration is not possible.

I’m assuming this happens due to some custom styling or plugin-added styling, as this doesn’t occur in the theme (as you can see on the demo page).

I suggest trying to temporarily disable all plugins and also temporarily remove all custom styling used (if any).

PS: Also see this FAQ item.

Thanks for pointing out this issue. We’ll fix it in the next Parabola update.

Parabola has an option to control pagination in category sections (including the homepage if it displays posts list), but this option does not apply to the prev/next post links displayed below single posts. To hide that you can use CSS:

.single #nav-below {
    display: none;
}

I see you’ve already switched to Parabola, which is better suited for this kind of layout.

Hi Zed,

As stated, I don’t see that in the strings. I have a parabola_excerptcont string that I translated thinking it would be it and had zero incidence whatsoever.

Thank you.

[UllaP]

Hi again,

I have made my site work, but I’m wondering how to get my site to perform on Google? Do you have any special SEO plugin to help with that or anything already implemented in Parabola?

Thank you,
Ulla

You don’t need to enqueue the child theme’s style, as WordPress does that, and I don’t think the wp_enqueue_script hooks the right place to do this (that normally gets outputted in the footer).

Try this code instead:

// enqueue parent theme styling
function child_parent_styling(){
	wp_enqueue_style( 'parabola-parent', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' ); // main style.css
}
add_action('wp_head','child_parent_styling', 4);

Hi there, have you been able to identify what I may be doing wrong? I noticed that the parabola style.css has a line importing the fontfaces.css file. Since my child style is not registering the fonts, could it be that I need to enqueue this stylesheet as well?

[Kevin]

I guess I spoke too soon. The Cryout/Parabola theme setting plugin looks to be inserting its’s styles in the head of each page which still use px font units. I’m guessing I’ll still need to override these in the child css with !important statements until such a time as the plugin is updated.

[sarahluo]

Thanks for replying. I currently have this:

<?php
function my_theme_enqueue_styles() {

$parent_style = ‘parabola-style’; // This is ‘twentyfifteen-style’ for the Twenty Fifteen theme.

wp_enqueue_style( $parent_style, get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/style.css’ );
wp_enqueue_style( ‘child-style’,
get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . ‘/style.css’,
array( $parent_style ),
wp_get_theme()->get(‘Version’)
);
}
add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘my_theme_enqueue_styles’ );
?>

[Zed]

Custom styling can be placed in either Parabola’s own Custom CSS field (in the settings) or in WordPress’ new Additional CSS field (in the customizer).

.sidey p { margin-bottom: 1em; }
should add the extra space (adjust the value as necessary).

nope, clearing caches didn’t work.

I have to go into a different area, make a change, undo that change, then click update/publish and it updates the presentation page. Where’as before, just clicking save on the Parabola save button at the bottom used to work. But not any more. I still have to click save, but I have to then go in via the convoluted route for the update to publish.

Weird

[madman070578]

Thank you Zed.

Would the custom styling go in the Custom CSS under Miscellaneous under the Parabola Settings?

Is there any way that CSS can be added to leave a line between paragraphs under the Sidebar?

[Pitufo]

Thanks, ronschi, this works perfect for my installed WP too!

I expect your code will be included in future versions. wp-cli is widely deployed. I saved it as a patch.

Got the same error.

Try this one:

`global $parabolas;
if (is_array($parabolas)) {
foreach ($parabolas as $key => $value) { ${“$key”} = $value ;}
}`

Hi Zed, thanks for your message.
I´ve just managed to solve it.
It was some code left on the page that I did manage to delete.
Problem solved.
Not a Parabola issue.

[DannyL]

hey, didn’t get fixed in 2.1.2? The theme installation page shows version number 2.1.2, however, the version number in parabola settings page (under the reset to default button) is still 2.1.1.

[Zed]

We’ve only changed default sizes in Parabola in the 2.0 visual appearance update.

You can reduce the slider caption with custom styling:

body .nivo-caption { padding-top: 1em; padding-bottom: 1em; }
body .nivo-caption h3 { margin-bottom: 0; }

I have the same problem. And I can not change the font size. “…and you cant adjust it anymore from parabola settings/conf -page” — this doesn’t work. The font size and the line-height is not changed.

Thanks!

[DannyL]

Parabola 2.1.1.

In the same css -section as mentioned in the post above (“body, input, textare”), the font size definition is now 16px as default for all the text areas? and you cant adjust it anymore from parabola settings/conf -page…

forcing it back into 14px fixes sites layout. can you look into it? ty.
