My footer has disappeared completely on the front static page but shows up on all the other pages I have created… HELP!
Look for the “Footer” checkbox under Appearance > Parabola Settings > Presentation Page > Hide Areas. Uncheck it if it’s checked.
Oh my gosh thank you so much Zed! I was seriously panicking, I don’t even remember clicking that option haha! THANK YOU!
Unable to click Parabola Settings, what must be the problem?
is it possible to add sidebar content on the presentation page? I’ve read in a post somewhere it was not intended to be possible, but that it might be developed for a future release? Any news on that? Thanks a lot btw for the great theme!
Hi!
This is probably a no-brainer question, but….. On some of my pages I’d like to have an image/photo. When I import one from my library, it is the same small size. I’d like them to be larger, but nothing I’ve tried seems to work. How do I do this?
thanks,
Nancy
Hello,
i tried to use a child-theme (parabola-child). Everything works fine, but the output removed the header-Image! In the Child-Theme-CSS there is NO Style, but the header-Image is not there.
Parabola-Child Output: there is missing the (img id=bg_image…) tag!
Why is that? I cant use child-themes with this.
Thanks!
Did you re-assign the header image after activating the child theme?
Does the child theme use a header.php file? Is that file up to date with the latest Parabola code?
Hello, this problem comes and goes for me. When i click on the Parabola Settings tab nothing seems to happen when i click on Layout, Header, etc. I try using different browser and same issue. The tabs will highlight if i double click or nothing will happen with a single click. Any help?
Hi! I installed child theme woocomerce, then installed plugin woocomerce. When click “activate plugin”, opened white page and to “admin panel” do not enter.
If delete plugin’s directory, then admin panel open.
Deleted NextGEN Gallery & Tablepress then woocomerce started to work
Hi there.
First off, really appreciate the Theme, it’s brilliant and works great for what I need.
After lots of searching around the forum and elsewhere, I can’t seem to find an answer to what seems an obvious issue: optimising the presentation page SEO with Yoast.
I’ve seen another comment referring to this in the Tempera theme (http://www.cryoutcreations.eu/forums/t/yoast-meta-description-and-keyword-on-presentation-page) but this suggests there is the usual Yoast analysis that you get on other pages; this isn’t the case with the Parabola presentation page, at least as far as I can tell anyway!
Any help much appreciated.
Hey Zed, Hope you’re doing well.
I have 2 questions about *using a background image* with the Parabola theme
(1) How do I get the sidebar color to fill down the page instead of stopping?
(2) When viewing on mobiles and tablets, all you see is the header,slider, and background. No content is showing. I checked it at http://quirktools.com/screenfly/
Here’s the site: http://www.vapordynastyexpo.com/dev/
Thanks in advance for the help.
Hi – I would like to exclude a certain category from the page that displays blog posts. Any tips for that? (Been looking at how tos like this: http://www.cheesetoast.co.uk/exclude-include-category-wordpress-blog-page/ )
Sorry for rushing, found this in the forum: http://www.cryoutcreations.eu/forums/t/presentation-page-select-posts-to-be-displayed – hopefully that works!
Are you guys aware that your theme is having issues with WordPress 3.9.1? The widgets area is inaccessible in the admin, and neither is the Parabola theme options.
The widgets area is definitely not part of the theme, so you need to look for the cause of your issues someplace else (a poorly written plugin breaking WordPress’ dashboard JavaScript functionality?)
How change colour of facebook icon and youtube Icon do not want all icon same colour
Icon colours are not changeable (they are images). You can change the backgrounds, though.
Can I upload my own social images?
You can, using a child theme. See the FAQ answer on this.
When positioning the menu, it’s interesting to note that ‘left’ and ‘center’ do exactly as expected….but ‘right’, in addition to aligning the menu to the right, also REVERSES THE ORDER OF THE MENU ELEMENTS. The left-most link becomes the right-most and vice versa.
Is that intended behavior?
It’s a side-effect of the right-alignment. We’ll correct it in a future update.
With regard to C12, there is no “Clickable Header Image” in the Header Settings section of the Parabola settings. At least, not in the current version of the theme (1.3.4).
my slides are not showing on the presentation page
Go to customize and set your page to Recent Posts instead of Static Page
Hi,
I would like to have ONLY ONE PAGE where people can leave comments and add photos using the Parabola template
How can I do that ?
Thank for you kind assistance on this!
Take a look at our comments tutorial.
How we can add Navigation menu or page navigation on Presentation page… We have used this theme on our Blog http://www.upcomingbollywood.com Plz tell us as early as possible….
in the columns on the presentation page is there a way to link it to my flickr account so that when ppl click on “see more pictures” they are brought to a specific album
how to add slide to any page on my site or the slides can only add on presentation page?? i’m stuck with this and need advice! tks
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.
well, you can’t do? Tell me about it and then I start to look for other solutions
i want have a (beta) child theme which improves compatibility with WooCommerce i download files but i dont know where put them can any help me??
install child theme as normal theme
On the home page, i can choose 0-4 columns presentation. Is it possible to make 2 or more row of presentations?
Parabola currently supports between 0 and 4 columns. Adding more needs a lot of code changes.
I really need some help with the presentation page! When I type in the information I want to show up in the “column” section, the presentation page does not show my paragraphs, fonts, sizes, etc. I have a specific page (or can be a post) that I want to be seen on the “home” or persentation page, but cannot figure out how to make this happen.
I sure would appreciate some guidance here! Thanks. Kelli Roig
The presentation page replaces the default homepage (which lists posts); also, you cannot have a static (single) page and the presentation page at the same time. If you want to display some text on the presentation page, use the two extra title and text fields and the dedicated presentation page columns, slider and areas. Otherwise, disable the presentation page and assign a static page as homepage.
Directly underneath the header it shows links to my pages. How do I hide a page from that menu?
Use a custom menu.
Hi! Great theme!
Im sure I’ve messed up somewhere though…
When I look at the site on an Iphone or an Ipad, the sliders keep shrinking and expanding when they change… how can I fix this?
the site is at http://www.rtql8.se
Love your work! 🙂
Anders
You need to use images of the same size for the slider to behave correctly. Otherwise the slider will shrink/enlarge as it passes from a smaller to larger to smaller image.
Is there way to redefine front page to have one column for posts, and right-side column for widgets like static page, and to keep slider above them ???
tnx.
in child theme I have done so:
File: content/content-frontpage.php
line 14
<section id="container" class="one-column “>
become
<section id="container" class="two-columns-right “>
line 52
become
I’m not a experienced developer. Try it.
This will not actually add the sidebar on the presentation page.
Hi Parabola,
I’m running into something weird when I post http://www.thecosmicmass.com to a Facebook page – rather than the site description in the Presentation page text, FB displays the (garbled) content of the newest blog post. How can I change this? Thanks!
Just wanted to say big thanks. Still learning and changing, but it works just excellent! http://www.technocat.co.il/
Hi- and thanks again for a great theme. Our team is loving Parabola.
One question, though – how do I set the SEO meta-description for the presentation page? This is where it’s really crucial, and I’m not finding it anywhere. Help! All the default description says is “check it out” – ouch!! Thanks for any tips you can give….
I’ve just started configuring your theme for my site http://www.getsust.com.au and I’d like to have the text in the 3 presentation page columns to be my latest posts from 3 different categories. How do I do this?
Hi, Is it possible to increase the gap between each page in the menu section. I’ve looked everywhere and for the life of me can’t seem to find a solution.
I’m just looking to increase the width between say ‘home’ and ‘about’ on the menu. Is there a way to do this? I’ve looked everywhere through the forum and nothing seemed to work.
Thanks!
