Thank you for responding!

I realize these are served to clients via webserver. But these issues are theme related. Other themes – not made by Cryout Creations – do not have these issues. I would think, or hope, you test your themes and have an idea of how they react to Apache or NGINX servers in relation to SEO issues, especially speed.

I also know this probably can fixed with a simple addition to the htaccess file. I’m no expert, and I did try multiple solutions but none worked so then I was thinking you may know the fix since they are in your themes, Plus themes included.

I’m sure other people are running into this as well.

I’m using the Parabola theme for our Tested Technology Web publication and ran into a problem with BlockQuotes when doing occasional editing with the Android version of WordPress.

Parabola BlockQuotes don’t allow blank lines between paragraphs. A single blank line created in the Visual Editor (we have turned off Gutenberg) created with a single carriage return appears as such in the Visual Editor, but previews and publishes just as a linefeed.

I discovered that it’s possible to kluge a blank line paragraph separator by using single carriage returns and then going back into the BlockQuote and inserting a second carriage return IN FRONT OF each previous carriage return.

I needed to do this because a regular double carriage return exits the BlockQuote.

This technique creates the desired multi-paragraph BlockQuote and the paragraph delimiter thus produced:
</p>&nbsp;<p>
…shows up in the Visual editor as a double blank line but appears in preview and on publication as a single blank line.

This construct survives further WordPress edits, either Visual or Text. However, when the same post or page is edited in the Android version of WordPress it gets “cleaned” to a single blank line, appearing subsequently as a mere linefeed inside the BlockQuote.

After a prolonged discussion with the excellent Android WordPress help desk, we came to the conclusion that this cleaning process was generally desirable and the bug lay with the need for this BlockQuote kluge.

Alicia at the help desk came up with a counter-kluge, which is to add the following CSS to Parabola in order to restore the margin-bottom that BlockQuote removes:

#content blockquote p {
    margin-bottom: 22px;
}

This fix does the job, except that it now introduces an undesirable additional blank line at the end of the last paragraph in the BlockQuote. I’m guessing that this is why Parabola’s BlockQuote coder removed the margin-bottom in the first place, assuming that it would only ever contain one paragraph.

I’m hoping to be able to persuade Parabola’s devs that having multiple paragraphs inside a single BlockQuote is a desirable design goal and that this is a bug worth fixing.

Alternatively/meanwhile, I’d welcome suggestions from the forum for an improvement on the Alicia counter-kluge that eliminates that extra terminal blank line.

Is your server NGINX? If so you can use this code snippet:

# browser caching of static assets
location ~*  \.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif|ico|css|js|pdf)$ {
    expires 7d;
}

which was taken from this guide: Serve Static Assets With An Efficient Cache Policy guide

Ahhhh perfect thank you just fixed it – host lied to us, needed to disable the CDN!

Thank you! Love the theme 🙂

[Zed]

Regardless of where files come from (theme, plugin or WordPress itself), they all get served to clients by the webserver software – hence any caching rules need to be set up and configured at the webserver level.

OK, so you said the portfolio pages are done with jetpack, but I can’t make mine look like yours. Can you please post the portfolio related code or shortcodes you used on this particular page (the portfolio page under templates > portfolio where you have it set up in a 3 column layout of the main categories)? I would very much appreciate it! Page address:

Please try this modified version of the plugin and let us know if it works as expected.

The ‘continue reading’ button text is configurable in the theme options.

Depending on the multi-language plugin you are using you need to either use specific markup in that field to define the label for both languages, or enter the necessary label in the plugin’s settings page which handles theme strings.

I see your site is using caching, which may or may not break the styling if done incorrectly.

If you’re still experiencing issues, try to temporarily disable caching to check if it’s related.

The text displayed on top of the static slider image is configurable through the theme’s (static) slider caption options. Upon theme installation this text copies the value set on your site title and tagline, but is then administered separately.

Which color options are you adjusting?

The menu has different positioning options. On your site it is currently set to be displayed over the header image – perhaps you want to set it to ‘normal’ (to have it above the header image).

Hi Zed,

You say that I am not using the “Site Title”… Can I use the Site Title by changing the Parabola Settings –> Header Settings –> Site Header… enabling the “Site Title & Description”? If so, I did that.

Am I correct to assume that Search Engines will now pick-up my Site Title from my text in my Parabola Settings –> Presentation Page Settings –> Extra Text –> Top Title?

If not, I need some help pointing me to the correct method…

* Also * I just noticed another problem… The text from my Parabola Settings –> Presentation Page Settings –> Extra Text –> Top Title… is not showing on my website. An older version of my Top Title is still showing instead. and no, this is not a “clear browser/cookies” issue.

Do I need to open a new ticket for this problem?

Please advise / Thanks,

Mark

Hallo. Hope you’re fine. I tried it but didn’t worked. 🙁

And I rated the theme 5 stars.

Regards,

The author box is displayed when the author has anything entered in the biography field. Leaving that empty hides the box. Additionally, the box can be hidden with CSS:

.single #author-info {
    display: none;
}

I’m trying right now in IE 11, in two different PCs. It only shows the loading page (three dots), and never finishes to load the website.

If WooCommerce extends the base template hierarchy, you should be able to create a dedicated template file for a single product with which to control the layout.

Double check that your posts are actually assigned to categories (categories may exist and be empty in WordPress).

Sorry for the long delay in my reply. I did tried to disable anything and still no success. I do see the list of the translation strings that refer to the theme. I really cannot understand what is wrong with that.

However, I installed the latest version and I can see that there is the option to add a custom slider. Do you think I can get around this problem by using a custom slider and its translation perhaps ?

[achancesw]

I have categories, wordpress ignores them and displays “uncategorised”

its only been doing this since I installed this theme

[Zed]

The background color and the padding create a semi-transparent dark rectangle behind the text (to make it easier to read over the image).
If you don’t like that, remove those two CSS lines.

There is currently limited support for multi-language categories in the featured boxes with Polylang. We are looking to find the best way to extend this support.

Same problem as @Christoph.
Not the posts from selected category but all posts are displaying in second languages. It happens in Featured Boxes 1 & 2 on my landing page. Although I have translated all post content and categories using Polylang to link them together.

Plus, encrypt in Featured Icon boxes only work on primary language but display full content when in second language.

I have used the workaround but seems cannot fix the problem:

if ( function_exists( ‘pll_get_post’ ) ) {
$page = get_post( pll_get_post($pageid, get_locale()));
$pageid = pll_get_post($pageid, get_locale());
} else {
$page = get_post( $pageid );
}

Hello,

I meanwhile installed another Cookie banner plugin, which works. So I think this thread is obsolete.

Thanks anyway!

[Zed]

WooCommerce does not provide a function to retrieve the titles for its sections and the ones returned by WordPress core functions are sometimes incorrect because they occur outside the main loop (header titles are processed before the main loop starts).
Due to this we cannot enable the header titles feature on WooCommerce sections.

I see a cookie banner message on your homepage as well. Was it a refresh delay due to caching or did you find the solution in the meantime?

Thanks to the theme’s advanced layout options, the sidebars functionality is buried pretty deep in the code.
You can find the tempera_get_sidebar() function in includes/theme-functions.php.

So you see the slider-related field in Polylang’s strings list? Then the translations should work.

Double-check that nothing is interfering with Polylang by temporarily disabling all other active plugins.

The presentation page is set for 3 columns per row. Currently, they are being displayed as 1 column and type is very small. Also, the search feature is showing in the menu bar.

As for the child theme, I believe there are very minimal style changes. This is a site we inherited so I am not sure what else is there. Looks like BG image and some hidden items. Here is the theme code:

—–BEGIN—–

#forbottom, #main{
background-image:url(“../../uploads/2016/01/01/Beige-background.png”);
}

div.nivo-controlNav{visibility: hidden;}

#topbar{visibility: hidden;}

div#footer2 span{visibility: hidden;}
—–END—–

[Zed]

@Backflipte, what version of Tempera did you create the child theme with and what code does it use to enqueue the style files?

@mike-premier, your site’s styles appear to be loaded in the correct order. What functionality (if any) is the child theme customizing? You can use the support form for faster replies.

The ampersand is not a problem. The problem is in the use of HTML entities in the text fields (HTML entities all begin with an ampersand in encoded form). This issue is dependent on server configuration so it may appear or disappear without your intervention (if the server administrators change configuration in the meantime).

If I could see a settings export I could pinpoint where the problem is (if there is one).
As I’ve said in my first reply, this is the most usual cause of the problem you’re describing, but we’ve also encountered plugin-caused issues that generated the same behaviour.
