Nirvana FAQs

1. Hello sir
   Can i create a blank page into the columns. If it yes ,can you show me how it done in a few steps

   1. Removing our link from the theme results in us not providing any kind of support.

2. Hi, it is possible to add a small line between the posting areas, i.e. main area and right sidebar ?
   Perhaps its enough to let 1 or 2 pixel space between the areas in background color ?

   1. #secondary { border-left: 1px dashed #eee; }
      but it will only expand as far down as the sidebar content does (not full site height).

3. The Feature Image option is not working on this theme. Any fix possible?

4. There seem to be issues with shareaholic social sharing. Whith Nirvana activated, I always have the floating buttons, and the in-page buttons cannot be edited anymore. As soon as I switch to one of the default WordPress themes, things start working again.

   Other than that: really great theme. Tnx.

5. How do I replace the ipad images in the “there will be text” & “there will be posts” in the presentation page?

   1. I see I have to add code in the text box.
      Really like the theme.

6. I’d really like to make my logo a gif with a transparent background and fix it to the top of the screen . I would like the header to be transparent so you can see the background behind it. Can you help?

7. This is a very nice theme I really enjoy it, but when I look at my website there is a little icon that says there is a picture but I never added one, can you help me get rid of it.

8. Hi..is there anyway to have the slider on all pages? thank you

9. Hi there! Where do I go about changing my typography settings for better SEO?

10. Hello!

    I have encountered what I believe is a bug where visual composer is unable to create rows that extend beyond the width of the content window. I will also try and post this in the forums. Thank you

11. I LOOOOOOOOOOVE this theme. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It’s just what I was looking for. You’re the greatest. I will consider naming my first child after you.

    p.s. ya know the images near the top of the presentation page (below the slider) added in widgets with cryout columns? If those images could be linked to the same link as the text below it, that would be even more awesome. Then I would DEFINITELY name my first child after you! And invite you to all his/her birthday parties – just think: ALL THE CAKE AND ICE CREAM YOU CAN EAT!!!! Yum.

    1. I made this work by altering some code around line 250 in frontpage.php. I tried to post it here but it doesn’t allow me to (“invalid security token”). You’re still invited to the kid’s birthday parties!

12. Is it possible to change settings about one image? When I add an image in the post, image static and without link, when the mouse is on this image, there is not the hand but is visible one selection. It is like there is a link. I do not want to see anything. I want this characteristic is only for the image with link. thanks

13. Hi,
    How can I change my settings so there’s a little author biography under each post?

14. beautiful :), although my social icons are all white, even after linking. using a child theme

15. Hi there,
    Love the theme, just started using it. Cannot figure out how to make the slider work.. Any suggestions?

    1. Justine, the slider is automatically part of the Presentation Page. Do you have the Presentation page enabled? Once enabled the canned Nirvana slides will start running.

16. Great Theme, easy customization however I want to remove the top bar from all pages not just the presentation page. Is this doable in the settings you have provided or do I need to start digging into code? Thanks!

17. Hi, Can you please help me, I cannot remove animated widgets, I need them to be static and neat but even if I choose static in nirvana settings nothing changes. I have a magazine website and I need precisely aligned widgets 🙁 why did you do that???? :(((

18. Question: is there any way to get a background image on the body of a page in Nirvana? I don’t want to tile the header background but do want to tile the body background.
    Thanks for any input, and really love this theme.

19. Love this theme, thanks so much! I just wondered if anyone knows of a way I can prevent specific posts from showing up on my homepage? The only way I can think is to change the date of those posts, but if there’s something else I can do that would be great!

    1. I use “exclude category” to prevent certain categories from appearing in my regular posts. Here’s a pretty good write up on it but I recommend using child theme instead of editing the themes function.php

20. Is there a way to change the order of the Presentation Page? I want my Columns to be displayed under my Recent Posts, etc

21. Thanks for the explanation Zed! I found a plugin as you suggested, keep up the exceptional work!

22. I’m adding a new category yet I can’t see it in the menu or anywhere. Could you help me with it. Also, the VISUAL post is not working and only TEXT is there. How to make it work? Thanks

23. Love your theme, just wondering if this theme will allow for custom widget areas in future? It would be great to allow for each page to have a customise widget area for side bars (left/right) and footer. This way you can then create specific links for each page that reference content that is relevant.

    1. If you need different widgets on different sidebars, you can use custom sidebar plugins. This is plugin functionality and themes that get approved in the WordPress repository cannot include such functionality.

24. Can cryout columns only be used in Presentation page?

    1. For now the columns’ functionality is limited to the theme’s presentation page. Using them anywhere else will cause them to malfunction.

25. Hey just wanted to let you know of a typo. In the Text Areas options of the Nirvana settings, the text in the ? by “Test for the Presentation Page” has “dispaly it” instead of “display it”.

    Cheers, it’s a lovely theme.

26. how can i add the right sidebar to the home page(presentation page) i want to show the post and calender on the right sidebar

    1. By design, the presentation page does not feature a sidebar.

       1. Is there a way to add such a sidebar, despite going against the original design? I’m working on a child of nirvana and would like a right-hand sidebar directly next to the presentation slider.

          1. It is possible (and some CSS is needed to correct things), but the responsiveness of the presentation page will be heavily affected by this.

27. One more thing for you to know: Chrome Version 39.0.2171.71 (64-bit)

    And on Safari version Version 5.1.10 (6534.59.10), the text is off the column photos when using animated option.

    Seems that it shows ok on Firefox.

    Hope this helps you for newer versions of you excellent theme.

    Thanks

28. I found that this problem is happening only on chrome… Sorry about being so pushy… Thanks

29. Bizarrely enough, when inspecting the elements with the chrome inspector it is ok!
    Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

30. Hello, I love the animated columns, with the text on the photo and the changing when I pass the mouse over them. But from one moment on, the photos are static and the description is below. I have tried to change it on the preferences, but it does not work. The prererences seems to be ok. I have activated and deactivated theme, reinstalled it, erased some plugins and still the same. Could you please help? Thanks

    1. Totally agree with Pablo above, LOVE the animated columns! But I would like to know how to change the settings.

       I want it to be a large image split in six (3×2 boxes), and when hovering one of those parts, the chosen pic and text is supposed to show. Today there is only the six images with text that shows, even though I chose the animated version.

       Please help!!
