To cover other questions asked here:
– there is indeed a bug about the socials; we’ll get this fixed as soon as possible.
– exporting/importing will not fix the missing page content; the corrupt theme archive is missing (at least) content/content-page.php which handles displaying page content;

Hi.

This is not a bug in the theme. The issue is caused by a broken theme archive lurking on WordPress’ servers.
When you update your site WordPress serves you the zip file from one of their severs. Since some serve the corrupt archive while others serve the good one this issue occurs only for some sites.

We have no control here and we cannot fix this in any way.

The solution is to manually download the theme from WordPress on your computer and check that you get the correct one (212 files and 21 folders) – http://wordpress.org/themes/download/mantra.2.3.3.zip
Try the download repeatedly if you get the corrupt copy. Eventually you’ll receive the correct one.

Then go to your dashboard and create a theme settings export (just to have a backup).
Go to Appearance > Themes and delete (uninstall) Mantra.
And manually re-install the theme from the good archive you previously downloaded (see our tutorial on “semi-manual installation”) – http://www.cryoutcreations.eu/wordpress-themes/wordpress-tutorials/how-to-install-a-wordpress-theme

Of course there’s also the option of deleting the theme and reinstalling it via the search/install directly (without downloading it to your computer) but this may require several tries until you get the correct archive.

I assume you’re talking about Tempera here (and not Mantra). Those 6 areas are sample content and will disappear as soon as you add your own columns.
Go to Appearance > Widgets, drag the Cryout Column widget to the Cryout Columns widget area and start filling in your content.

You’ll have to be more specific on this.

I don’t remember WordPress changing anything related to menu items recently.

And since that’s WordPress and not the theme, perhaps asking this question on the WordPress forums would provide more useful answers.

Appearance > Widgets is where you’ll find all the widget areas, including the sidebars.

If you see the default placeholder text (Your sidebar is empty. You can add widgets into this area…) this cannot be removed. It will automatically disappear when you do add widgets to that sidebar or you can disable the sidebar entirely by switching to a different layout or page template.

Javascript is not accepted by WordPress’ filters inside the presentation page fields.
You’ll need to manually edit the presentation page file (includes/theme-frontpage.php) preferably after copying to a child theme and placing the code directly in that file.

Kevin, your question is not the same question as the original one.

You can use a simpler CSS:
.theme-default .nivo-caption { display: none; }

Ubermenu is not supported out-of-the-box by Mantra (yet).

Create a child theme, copy header.php from Mantra to the child theme, open it and edit the #access ID to anything else (like #access2).

This will remove all of Mantra’s styling from the menu and make Ubermenu function properly.

Yes, you need to arrange and format the HTML generated by that function depending on how you want it to look and be placed in the header.

That is how the theme was designed. To change, you’d need to customize the post(s) layout via a child theme.
Depending on the post type, there are several files involved: content.php and content-something.php (except content-frontpage.php)

Are you trying to customize the presentation page?

The child theme only requires the style.css file.
You have to include functions.php (and code in it) only if you want to change PHP code as well.

You should not be making changes to the theme’s files (as these will be lost on the next update).
Use the Custom Footer Texts field in the theme settings or a child theme for more extensive changes.

This is what categories are for. When you set up menu items, add a menu item for one category and another one for a different category.

That’s controlled by the third (last) General/Text field. Links use the Footer/Links colour fields (the last two overall)

Eleventh, your site will be a target for spammers no matter what the footer says. Spam bots don’t browse your site, they were programmed with the correct WordPress files URLs and post comments on your pages directly.
Install and activate Akismet as a first step in your spam fighting.

The blog page template follows the general layout selected, so if you use a 2 columns (content+sidebar) layout (Appearance > Parabola Settings > Layout), you’ll get a sidebar on this page/template as well.

To add content before the posts you can use the Above Content widget are to place your content and a conditional widget plugin to make that content appear only on this particular page.

Parabola doesn’t have borders/shadows around posts/content.

You can place any CSS you may want to use to change how your site looks in the Custom CSS field (under Miscellaneous in the theme’s settings page). This CSS is saved separately and is applied to the entire site without editing any files.

The magazine layout applies to all category sections (everywhere where posts are listed). We are working to turn this into a page template so it can be used on selected categories/sections.

Juanjo, that is sample content. Replace it with your own text/images and the “advertising” will disappear.
