1. Hello,

   Can I have custom site logo + site name & description?
   Thanks,

   1. Displaying both at the same time is not currently possible.

2. Can I have multiple posts pages? Like publishing posts in different pages so that user can go to that category through menu…

   1. This is exactly what i’d like to know. I’d like the pages to post on the front page and into the page which their category fits into. But how?!? Can anybody help?

      1. Why can’t we choose which pages the post is posted on rather than posting it on all pages?

3. Can I use the pictures on the presentation page on the demo for my site?

4. Okay, I have a question, and it’s probably dumb but I’m new to this and I’ve never built a website from scratch before.

   1. So,how do I get rid of this “tempura is living in the edge” grafs long, dummy text.

   2. And I really only need three columns on the presentation page, so how do I mover them around so they’re in the order I need….

   1. 1. all presentation page contents are configurable in the Presentation Page section of the theme settings.
      2. if you’re using widget columns, re-order them (with drag&drop) in the widgets administration.

5. Hi, thanks for this great template. Is there a way I can show only media on this slides & columns. For ex: I upload an image and I want to show that image only. Please help.

   1. Leave the title/text fields empty and they will no longer be displayed.

6. I really like the theme – one problem: the presentation page seems to always show the same set of posts (those below the columns) even after I click the button to move to the next page. I.E. http://www.oneworldleeds.org/page/3/ shows the same as http://www.oneworldleeds.org. This makes it hard to access older posts.

   1. I have the same problem! http://donallum.org

   2. The pagination was broken in all versions prior to 0.9.8. This changed in the update.

      1. I am using the 0.9.8 version and its still broken, or there’s something I need to turn on?

7. How can I put a link to the presentation page cryout column widgets photos directly? Right now, one can only link through the title above the photo, and most people miss that and click on the photo instead. I cannot figure out the way to insert a link to the picture – please help.

8. Is there anyway of making my customised logo sit alongside my menu instead of above it, I only have a short menu just a few items and it would look much better if they would go inline together?

   1. You can use custom CSS to do this, but I cannot give you the correct CSS without seeing your site (as it’s dependent on your settings).

   2. Try adding the following CSS:
      #branding{ width:29%; display: inline;}
      #access {float:right; display:inline; width:70%;margin:38px auto 0}

9. I am having issues with making the presentation page the home page. This is with the most latest version of WP (3.8.1) and the website is http://firstmissionarybaptistchurchseffner.com/.
   I have Tempera Settings > Presentation Page = Enable….
   so I don’t understand the problem.

   I am trying to make it look like this: http://firstmissionarybaptistchurchseffner.com.temp.realssl.com/, which has the previous version of WP. I am wondering if the different versions of WP has something to do with it.

   When comparing the two side by side, the tempera settings are EXACTLY the same

   1. What is “Your homepage displays” set to under Appearance > Reading?

10. I’m still having trouble removing the text under the comments form. What exactly is the option in the graphic settings as I can’t seem to get it to work? Thanks!

    1. In Tempera the comment options are under Post Information Settings.

11. I want to keep the ‘powered by Presta’ but delete the ‘and WordPress’. Where do I go to do that?

    1. Powered by Presta? Are you sure you’re in the right place? As for the ‘and WordPress’ I suggest you use the WordPress.org forums.

12. Hello,
    Thanks or your Theme !

    I am trying to activate “Images à la Une comme En-Tête” from the Tempera options, but I don’t see any change on my home posts, no image.

    Also, in “Presentation Page”, I tryed to deactivate “Enable posts on page presentation” because I just would like only sticky posts on my Home, and it says “enables the display of the latest posts on the presentation page. Highlighted posts are always displayed and not counted”.
    But I haven’t any post on my Homepage with this way.

    Any idea ?
    Thank you !

13. How do i remove thsi text from the presentation page please?

    “Tempera is living on the edge, waiting for you to come and give it a push!
    Above and below the columns you have editable titles and text fields. The text fields suppport HTML tags and [shortcodes] so you can turn the Presentation Page into your personal playground. You can add, remove and edit all this and much more from the Tempera Settings page.
    While you can show your latest posts on the Presentation Page, you can also use the Blog page template to designate another page as your primary blog posts page.

    As you can see, with Tempera the sky’s the limit. Just remember to have fun!”

    1. You’ll find that in the Presentation Page > Extras subsection of Tempera’s settings page Appearance > Tempera Settings.

14. Sorry, I forget write my page: http://www.porlasrutasdelmundo.com.ar

    1. I see no WordPress website at that URL, but something that looks like a default website placed there by your host until you actually set up your site.

15. Hello! I love the theme “Parabola” and this theme. But I have a problem with both. When I create the menu, people tell me they try to access the different sections and can not see them. Freezes on startup, No proceeds of the home page. Can you help? Thank you very much.

16. Awesome, truly beautiful theme!! And pretty user-friendly for this newbie 😉 Here’s what I can’t figure out how to do:
    1. put a second menu across the very top, above the header image, that uses blog categories
    2. shopping cart – any recommended plugins? or do you have a tutorial on how to make a products page and shopping cart that works with your opencart?

    1. 1. Create a new custom menu and assign it to the top menu area.
       2. Since you’re writing this on Tempera FAQs should I assume “opencart” is a typo?
       I’ve seen successful usage of several commerce plugins. One that comes to mind is Woocommerce.

17. Hi Folks!
    Special characters appear in bold on titles in my Tempera.
    What can I do for the words to appear exactly alike?

    Thank You, everybody!

    1. You must be using non latin-based characters. Try using a different font in the theme settings as not all included fonts support all the characters.

18. How can i change the number of the columns at the presentation page? I want to have 9 pictures in there, but it shows me only 6?

    1. Drag 9 ‘Cryout Column’ widgets to the ‘Presentation Page Columns’ widget area and specify their contents.

19. Absolutely love this theme! How do I remove the padding just above the slider and just below the horizontal menu? Also is there a way to adjust the opacity of the hover effect on the presentation page columns when using pics?

    1. I see you managed to remove the padding above the slider.
       The opacity of the gray hover on the columns can be changed with this CSS:
       .column-image-inside { background: rgba(0,0,0,0.3); }
       You can change both the color and opacity (red,green,blue,opacity).

20. C8 – The actual answer is… Under graphics->Post Information Settings

    1. We like to move things around 🙂
       thanks for pointing that out

21. Please, how do i put de google analytics code in temera theme!!

    Thanks!!

22. Tempera Theme support polylang plugin?

    1. We have not tested this plugin.

23. Hi, is it possible to add a search bar in the menu, or header using Tempera theme? Thanks!

    1. Yes, use the widget module.

    2. Tempera has a widget area in the header, but you’re responsible for styling and formatting any content you’re adding there.

24. How do I edit or delete the six boxes below the slider on the presentation page????

25. Hi… first, nice theme. My problem is that i cant not see any of my post. This is one example: http://www.eldespertarhumano.com/?p=562

    1. That link redirects me to eldespertarhumano.com/activar-suscripcion so you must be using some plugin that locks posts under a subscription/access system.

26. Thank you for the great theme. Love how’s it’s responsive. On the homepage where you have the six box samples (Fully customizable, Responsive, Endless fonts…), can those be actual blog posts? In other words, I rather have my blog posts to look like those. Is that customizable for blog posts?

    1. You can configure the columns to get their content from posts. See the presentation page columns group of settings in the theme’s settings page.

27. I love this theme!
    How do I change the font/background colors for the bbpress forums when using this theme?

    1. You’ll have to do that with custom CSS. Use the browser’s dev tools or Firebug to figure out the correct tags.

28. How can I change the font type on the presentation page (extra text and colum)? Some caractere of my language appear incorrectly. I changed all the font types on the text settings but nothing cahnged on the presentation page.

    1. I have the exact same problem (Danish alphabet has three special caracters). Special caracters are shown in some other font than the rest of the extra text and widget columns headings/links.

       1. Some fonts are set in “Tempera Settings > Text settings” so you can define your proper fonts using Google fonts. But I also noticed that the “Open Sans Light” font is hardcoded in theme css files so you must override the corresponding css class: go to Tempera Settings > Miscellaneous Settings” and add you css in the Custom CSS field. Of course you need to know a little about how css works…

          1. We’ll add the necessary controls to fully customize the presentation page elements in future updates.

    2. Some of the presentation page fields have hard-coded fonts that can only be changed with custom CSS at the moment. The rest are covered by the “General Font” option.

       1. I changed all the family fonts in the css file but the presentation page still has the same font type, nothing changed. Can you please help me what should I modify?
          Thanks!

          1. Fonts and colours are not defined in the CSS file, but are generated on page view based on the theme settings. You can override these rules using the Custom CSS field. You should also not make direct changes to the themes files as you’ll lose the changes the next time you update.

             1. so what css snippet is used for the size of the presentation page text and the subsecuent text below. thanks in advanced

             2. Really depends on *which* particular text you want to change. Top title? Second Title? Top Text? Second text? Column Titles? Column descriptions? Column buttons? Slider titles? Slider descriptions?

29. Can I make the background image set to fit instead of tiled or no repeat?

    1. I would like it to fit the page, instead of staying small and centered or repeated in tiles…Do I need a specific sized image?

    2. WordPress doesn’t provide such an option, but you’re free to do any positioning/sizing/arrangement you want via custom CSS.
       Although, background sizing is a relatively new addition to CSS and is supported differently by various browsers (or note at all) – http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1341358/set-size-on-background-image-with-css

30. Please how do i use the settings
