  1. I love the Tempera template and it looked awesome with my new site but I really wanted to use Woocommerce with it. I installed the beta and lost my site completely with the following error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function cryout_meta_hook() in /home/content/71/10537071/html/POETSPAINT/wp-content/themes/tempera/header.php on line 14. The whole site disappeared.

    How do I get it back to at least the way it was before the Beta of WooCommerce until that part is working?

  2. Dear Tempera-Team,
    first let me say: it’s a geat Theme!!

    I’m using your beta child theme to improve the functionality with woocommerce. Its not active so long. There is one Problem with another Plugin: The Plugin “custom sidebars” doesnt work with this child theme.
    Are there any experiences or workarounds for this problem?

    Thx

  3. I just updated and my website disappeared…I’m using a new theme now, but I really liked Tempera. There was way too much set-up in the theme for me to reinstall and then chance this happening again.

    Unfortunate.

  5. I want to thank you for a great template as well. I do have a couple of questions. I am not great at code, but wondered things.
    1. Is it possible to make the images on the presentation page widget clickable/link able as well as the text?
    2 is there a way to make the sidebars (if using a single sidebar) a little smaller than 220px?

    Thank you in advance for your reply.

  6. Thanks for all your hard work!!!! My site is found at gotwick.com if you want to see your Tempera theme in action…for now, because I plan to use it for other sites now that I see what a great framework it is!

    Not sure if I am doing something wrong, but I changed the background color for the Site title to black, and it only shows on the sub-title (the “tagline” in wordpress->settings->general…

    I have a multi-colored graphic as background, so any color may not look right on top of it, since I want the background for the header area to be transparent, except where the title is…

    The only other problem I have is that it would be great if the background image would scroll with the page instead of staying static and the content flows over it, for the same reason as the header background color being transparent…. I want to show my AureliaBorealis image in the background….

    Thanks again!

  7. The Social Icons don’t appear in my page, I selected one by one all the options to test and even checked’em all to see if they do, but don’t. Can anyone give me a help?

  9. How about alter the crop on the featured image in posts displayed on the presentation page? Can this controlled and if so can it be controlled independently of the crop for the same image in other locations?

  11. I’m working on an iMac and the display is calibrated. The only other device I’ve seen it on is my ipad mini and all images appear washed out on that screen.

    I’ve created a 4 theme comparison image much like what you have done and 3 of the 4 themes look normal while the Tempera theme is obviously over-saturated. How can I upload this image for you to see?

  12. I’ve already set up all my images into galleries and now I am creating the individual pages. I don’t know if it is the Tempera theme or Gallery Bank plug-in that is creating this problem but my images are extremely over vibrant. I’ve even toned them down a great deal in Photoshop but they are still totally unnatural looking and unacceptable. What is creating this?

    Here is the comparison image from my old site, http://www.angelfiredesigns.com/After_the_Fire.html

    And here is what I’m getting with the WP site, http://www.angelfiredesigns.com/new/paintings/after-the-fire

    What do I do? I don’t want to continue building this site if my artwork isn’t correctly represented.

    I checked out how this same image looks using the TwentyFourteen theme and it looks just like it should. I noticed that when you click on the thumbnails of the paintings that I haven’t created pages for, and you get a little popup preview of the painting, the colors are psychedelic, really awful. http://www.angelfiredesigns.com/new/paintings#.U5twBo1dXok

    This has to be fixable and if not, I’m really dissatisfied with this theme and all the futzing around I’ve done to customize it.

    1. Hi.
      Comparing the two source images: http://www.angelfiredesigns.com/After_the_Fire_files/After%20the%20Fire.jpg (old) and http://i0.wp.com/www.angelfiredesigns.com/new/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/After-the-Fire.jpg?resize=900%2C593 (new) I can see the new one is somewhat lighter, but far from it being “extremely over vibrant”. However this is very subjective.
      I’ve made a side-by-side comparison of the two images the way I (my computer) see them:

      Did you check your site out on different devices/computers? Perhaps this is something done by the screen/software on a particular device.

  13. I am using Tempera to build a real website with a blog attached. I’ve got my custom menu set up and I like using the static presentation page. I also created a home page because I don’t see any other way for people to click back to a main page from all the other pages. I’d like to eliminate the “home” page but how can I put the presentation page, that is the one they land on when they first click on my site, into the menu so that they can return to that main page. I see that if you click on my header title, that takes you back but 99% of people aren’t going to click on the title. If I have to keep the extra “home” page in the menu, I will, but that still doesn’t get them back to that presentation page, which is my goal.

      1. Thanks. I got that fixed. How do I get it so that the text on the home page is truly centered? The text is set to centered but it goes further to the right side of the box and actually touches the very edge of the box. I’ve tried using “increase indent” and it doesn’t change. The left side is perfect but the right side isn’t the same indent.

  14. I’m creating portfolio pages with just a regular page, not the portfolio page, and I’m putting thumbnails of images on it that will link to main pages. I’m having trouble getting my images to line up nicely in the editor. Sometimes, they pop into place next to the last photo and other times, they go to the next row and leave a big blank space and since this isn’t drag/drop, how do I get them to line up? I’ve tried using the column creator and that is worse.

  15. I’ve created a page that acts like a portfolio page, with thumbnail images of my art, and I want to then link each thumb to the specific page for that art, where I will have all the details. I can’t figure out how to do that. I tried setting the URL for the art page in the image file but that didn’t work. I’m not comfortable with creating codes, though I know how to insert codes into an html widget and I’ve been using iWeb for years where you just create a hyperlink from the thumbnail to the page so I’m completely lost as this is the first time I’ve attempted a WP site.

  16. Merci pour ce thème magnifique ! Je souhaiterais savoir comment supprimer un code enregistré par erreur dans la rubrique divers “votre css” de tempera settings. Où puis-je le trouver afin de le supprimer , merci d’avance pour votre réponse.

  20. How can i chance the url link of a post, so when you click on the headline you’ll be redirected to another page?
    It seems the option to chance is disabled.

    1. I assume you want to make the slider caption backgrounds less transparent (to make the text more readable):
      .nivo-caption { background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.9); }

    1. I believe we have gotten to the bottom of this issue. For everyone else having the same issue, make sure the URL you are using to get to your WordPress and the URL configured in WordPress itself are on the same (sub)domain.

  25. Hi,am a novice in website designing but i found tempera theme to be a great tool.its simply awesome.A friend tells me its too bulky to be hosted on an independent website.Please is it true.He claims it takes to much space.Please reply as soon as possible since i want my employees to use tempera but not to run up their operating cost.

  26. HI!
    I really like the Tempera Theme very much, but I need to have dropdown menus in the topmenu section.
    Is there a possibility to have dropdown menus there as well?
    I use it as the only menu bar so it would be great…

    Thanks in advance.

  28. Hi,

    I am creating new pages to link to the buttons on my front presentation page. I would like to remove the top menu bar from my pages but cannot seem to find a way to do that. I already disabled it in the Graphics Settings.

  30. Hi! Great theme! I am wondering if is it possible to create a new page [not private but public] which will not be visible on the top bar menu? I want to create a page, not a post.
