Install 2.4 last night and it’s really not made my header images look good! I can’t get it to display at the correct height at all, despite what is set in the Parabola settings. A bit annoying, but will roll back to 2.3.2.2 for now.

Indeed I’ve just compared 2.3.2.2 and 2.4 and the newer version seems to break a few things including the header, but also fonts etc. Will stick with the former for now!

Hello, I am having issues with 2.4.
How can I roll back to 2.3.2.2?

Thank you

If you have any CSS in the Parabola MISCELLANEOUS SETTINGS, try taking it out and putting it in the WordPress Customiser Additional CSS. Cleared a few glitches for me..

[eludlow]

Sadly that didn’t work for me, but nice idea!

I had the same problem – If you have a child theme, update to the latest version, as that worked for me.

[eludlow]

I tried that, however my child theme is a self created one. I may just have to sit this update out!

[Chris]

Thats a shame that didn’t work. Hopefully you’ll figure a way around it.

Could you add their child theme and migrate your settings across?

I think that’ll be next. Cryout have kindly offered to have a look at my child theme to see if there’s anything obvious. Great service!

[Chris]

They are brilliant!

[eludlow]

Well all sorted, huge thanks to Zed from support who tided up my custom functions.php and added the 2.4 functionality.

[Ian-ITS]

Some guidance would be useful.. if I update the theme to 2.4, do I need to re-make my child theme or adjust it in any way?

Hi,

Any styling/layout issues you may be seeing after updating an older install to 2.4.0 are probably due to using a child theme that will require updating for some code changes.
There should be no issues observed if you’re not using a child theme.

Previously, Parabola was using an action hooked into the wp_head hook to enqueue all its styles.
Version 2.4.0 changes these enqueues to the proper wp_enqueue_scripts hook.

If your child theme still uses the previous hook, then the necessary styles (main, options-generated, mobile and child theme’s) will be loaded in the incorrect order, causing default styles to override configured and custom ones. You will need to update the code in the child theme to be similar to the example below:

// enqueue parent theme styling
function child_parent_styling(){
	wp_enqueue_style( 'parabola-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css', array(), _CRYOUT_THEME_VERSION );  // restore correct parent stylesheet
	wp_enqueue_style( 'parabola-child', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css', array( 'parabola-style' ), '20210312' ); // enqueue child 
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts','child_parent_styling');

The style identifier parabola-style should be present exactly with this name as there are secondary styles enqueued conditionally after it.

If you are using our NoLink child theme, an updated version is available for download in the customer account.

Just to echo what I said above, and have said to Zed privately, but huge thanks to him for the timely and efficient way he dealt with my problems after updating to 2.4. A perfect example of how customer service should be run!

Kudos!

[Ian-ITS]

Sorry, I’m not clear on this, does the code block above replace all of the wp_enqueue_style code in the child theme’s functions.php ?

As I don’t understand the PHP enqueuing stuff, would the same effect be achieved by moving all CSS from the Nirvana child them misc. settings into the WordPress Custom CSS?
Thanks.

[Zed]

@Ian-ITS: the code block above is an example of how the (child) theme’s enqueueing should look.
If you’re only applying custom styling, WordPress’ Additional CSS field (or a CSS plugin) usually suffices. If you’re customizing (replacing) theme code, then a child theme is needed (some tweaks can also be implemented using a plugin instead).
