Dear Cryout Staff!

Two days ago I updated our school’s server to Debian 12. After that WordPress is displaying a Fatal Error message. I enabled debug, deleted cache(simple-cache plugin), disabled plugins. Installed PHP 8.1 because 8.2 is unsupported in wordpress and Nextcloud.
But now I’m clueless.
This is the error message:
“[15-Jul-2023 10:04:06 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught ValueError: Unknown format specifier ” ” in /var/www/html/wp-content/themes/tempera/includes/theme-setup.php:284

All help is greatly appreciated. I hope I wont’t have to go back to PHP 7.4 to fix this. Because then I will be stuck there. Nextcloud won’t update on PHP7. Maybe PHP 8.0?

Let me start with – I am very new to building websites and my nonprofit is also very new (so little funding yet and trying to be frugal)! I am hosting my site on InterServer.net and using WordPress via Softaculous. Not sure if any of the information is relevant, but want to be thorough.

I installed GiveWP and it is awesome and easy to use. However, when I pushed to live and tested donating, upon submission of the donation, the spinning wheel started and never ended. The submission worked successfully (emails, money movements etc).

I googled this issue and saw help info this on the GiveWP site https://givewp.com/documentation/resources/wp-engine-cache-exclusion-donation-confirmation-page/

I don’t use WPEngine, but assume it’s a relevant issue.

So I noticed there is a SpeedyCache plugin that was auto installed on my site. I went there and added the page exclusions referenced in the link. I retried to no avail, same issue.

I then contacted my hosting site and asked them if they could add the exclusion. They said that’s not on their end.

So not exactly sure what to do.

HELP!! I really want to use this plug in, but will obviously need to change if I can’t get this resolved!

hi there.
just a quick question with a quick answer.
I’ve been using septera for a bunch of years, and now I got tired of the white frame around each image on my blogsite (black background). I know that there is a box where i can decide to have that white frame or not, but I’ve been researching all the options and some google pages an I am not able to find it.
Could you please tell me where it is?
here you can see the frame around every single image : https://room-escapers.com/biohazard/
If i could remove it just in some of them, it would be amazing also … but tried “!important img {border:0;}” in the advanced image settings and it did not work

Many thanks, and good work guys!

I’m having a problem with the search icon on my website ( https://icehockeylovers.com/ ).It’s not showing up right away when I visit the site. I have to either hover over it with my mouse or touch the screen on my phone for it to appear. It seems like there’s a delay in how it’s loading or working. I’ve been trying to fix this issue by playing around with some settings in the Appearance section of my site’s customization options.

I even tried excluding some of the .js files from being delayed in execution, hoping it would make a difference. Unfortunately, it hasn’t worked so far. If anyone has any suggestions or solutions to this problem, I would really appreciate your help. Thanks a lot in advance!

@ Zed – Hello
I just re open this old discussion because it’s now time to move to Tempera. I modified the plugin provided to show the featured images just below the title. It works great but, the post information (creator – Date/time) appear below the image, is there a way for this to be just below the title ? I’d like to have The Title – Post Info – Featured image like here -> https://ibb.co/Yh9gtK2
One more point : If you show a Post category list, the featured image appears twice – seems WP core show it, and then your plugin shows it again, any way to fix this ? Exemple here -> https://ibb.co/yytQ74N
And last, does Tempera is ok for php 8.2 and do you know how much time it’ll be maintain ?
Thanks a lot for what you do / explain.
Lighty.

Hi,

That functionality is not available in either of the theme’s editions, but should be achievable with CSS.
Can you include a link to your site and the URL for the alternative logo?

Hi,

The theme’s layout is configurable in the settings page. This layout applies throughout the site (except the presentation page feature, when that is used).

Hi,

That effect is usually obtained with JavaScript libraries that have expanded on one another and share similar names: fancybox, lightbox, colorbox. There are multiple WordPress plugins that implement them for WordPress sites.

Animation happen when triggered (on click/hover, other user interaction) so the animations/popup themselves add no extra drag on the performance of the site. However, the scripts/resources needed to add the effects need to be loaded on the site, and depending on the solution chosen they may be lighter or heavier on the site.

@deKay, your issue is different and looks to be caused by the theme failing to retrieve in-content images to use a featured images from your posts.
This happens because the function checking for such images is told by WordPress that the posts have images attached (inserted in) to them when in fact they don’t appear to (maybe they had them in the past?).

We’ll add some extra logic checks in the next update to not trust WordPress’ returned data blindly and to avoid this condition.

Testing out the site with just WordPress and the theme, without any active plugins, with all caching cleared (and browser force refreshed) is the standard course of action after any major change such as updating PHP (or moving the site, or even updating WordPress) if malfunctions occur.

If the bare site doesn’t work, reverting to one of the default Twenty themes would be a good additional step.
If that still fails, next would be digging through the server error logs to identify where the fault lies.

When a functional state is eventually reached, then extra extensions and functionality can be gradually re-enabled until something fails again or everything is restored.

Hi,

In WordPress, the “blog” special section is designed to display latest posts regardless of other attributes (categories, metas, authors). There are no built-in filtering options for this section, but there are plugin that can add such filters.

Concerning journal posts, it depends on how those are created. If those are just regular posts, then simply creating a category page would limit the list to posts belonging to the specific journal category. If those are a separate custom post type, than those would need their separate frontend code (dedicated templates) to handle their display.

Since a number of threads haven’t been responded-to for weeks, I did some digging on my own — this is what I found that might be the solution: Add this to the Custom CSS in the Customizer:

/* Hide element on Desktop */
@media only screen and (min-width: 981px) {
.hamburger {
display: none !important;
}
}

I’m checking with the client to see if their Windows viewers can now see the menu on a single line.

[3cstudio]

Please direct me to the tools or method for removing that top-right mobile menu icon — it is causing viewers using PCs (not Macs) to have the last menu item (Donate) bump-down under the first menu item (About Us), rendering it un-clickable. Windows machines recently updated their browser’s viewing area to include some sort of right-side tool bar, making the width of the browser viewing area even smaller than before (as most Macs have a higher resolution screen than PCs anyway).

So, to recap, please provide me with a way to have the mobile menu NOT show on desktop views of the website. Thanks in advance!

I am using a plugin called WP eMember by Tips and Tricks. I am having an issue on the Create Account page where the error messages are being cut off. After contacting the plug in creator they have said “The issue is the theme’s sidebar has Z-index much higher than it should be.” To see the problem
* go to this URL https://cvilleswingdance.com/create-account/
* Leave the first field blank and skip to the next field
* You will see the error messages on the right in red that are being cut off

Hi,

I’m looking to change the side menu opacity on the Bravada theme. Currently I’m only able to change the side menu background colour, but I’d also like to modify the opacity to show the main header’s background come through. Is this achievable?

Alternatively, is it possible to add a blur too?

Kind regards,

Matt

Hello,

I am trying to remove the Nothing found and search bar under the image on

https://mcardlelifecoaching.com/

I don’t want to show that search box, I don’t want to show recent posts, and I don’t want to show pages.

I don’t want to have anything between the image and the footer.

I have looked at everything I can think to look at in the customize section.

I have tried putting widgets on the sidebars and in the footer.

Any ideas or resources to read/watch how to do what I am wanting would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance for any help.

I’m currently working on a web project and one of the design elements I’m trying to achieve is a zooming effect when a user hovers over an image. Essentially, I’d like the image to enlarge slightly and become more detailed when the user hovers over it with their mouse. I’ve seen this effect on many other websites and I find it really engaging and effective, but I’m not quite sure how to achieve it myself.

I’ve done some research online and I’ve found some tutorials on using CSS and JavaScript to create the effect, but I’m not quite sure where to start. Are there any specific tools or libraries that are recommended for creating this kind of effect, or any best practices that I should keep in mind?

I’m also curious about how this effect might impact the performance of my website. Will adding this kind of animation slow down my site, and are there any ways to optimize it for faster loading times?

As someone who is relatively new to web development, I would greatly appreciate any advice or guidance on how to achieve this zooming effect when hovering over images. Thank you in advance!

Hey there Zed. Hope you are doing well!

I didn’t know exactly where to put this, so I thought I would put it here and see if more people would find this a useful feature.

I am currently using a number of of your themes for a variety of your sites including: Bravada, Kahuna, and Fluida. Before subscribing to your Plus themes, I had used your Tempera theme for years.

On thing that I always need to add is a dark mode plugin of some stripe or another for those people who prefer, or have to use a dark mode for whatever reason.

Currently I am using the Night Eye plugin from the WP repository, but thought it would be advantageous to have a dark mode available directly through the themes themselves. Ideally, it would be good to have this feature on both the front and backend of our sites.

I don’t know if this is something the Cryout Creations team has already considered, but I thought I would suggest it for your consideration, and general discussion among your endusers.

Thoughts?

Hi Team CryoutCreations,

I have been trying to find the css in the style sheet that will remove the box around the top menu links on Hover. I’ve tried everything in the additional CSS; access, ul li a:hover I could find in the style sheet with no success. Help!

Thank you in advance!

Hi,
I used the plugin with Tempera and an old version od WP, now with WP 5.9. I can’t let the plugin be active, bc I can’t then access the dashboard of WP. How can I customize Tempera now? Maybe it’s possible for dummies without that plugin?

[CarolJenkins]

Hello everyone,

I’m currently working on a WordPress website and I’m trying to change the color of the checkout page. I’ve been struggling with this for a while and I’m hoping someone in the community can help me out.

Specifically, I want to change the color of the checkout button and the background color of the checkout page. Right now, the button and the background are both a standard blue color, but I want to change them to match the branding of my website.

I’ve tried searching online for solutions, but I’m having trouble finding a clear and easy-to-follow tutorial. I’m also not very experienced with coding, so I’m hoping someone can explain the process in simple terms.

Can someone please guide me on how to change the checkout color in WordPress? What code do I need to add to the theme’s CSS file, and where do I find that file in WordPress? Are there any plugins that can help me with this task?

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time and assistance!

Hello!

The site header is overlapping our menu icon in mobile view. Since the site header is too large and overlaps the icon button clicking the icon area refreshes the home screen instead of expanding the menu.

Does the code need to be adjusted or is there another way to fix?

div.site-header-top > div.site-header-inside > div#branding > a#nav-toggle

My slider has a bug where it repeats the featured image from my most recent post, five times; when you click through, it’s just that image, where usually it’s the featured images from the five most recent posts. Deleting the featured image from my most recent post removes the entire slider carousel from my homepage. Adding a new and different image to my most recent posts re-creates the slider, but the new image also is the only one displayed. I’ve tried a few troubleshooting steps and nothing seems to work.

Edit: changing the slider to pull from “random posts” makes five distinct images appear, but they’re, obviously, completely random.

2nd edit: I created a new post with a featured image as an experiment, and now both most recent posts show up. It lets me cycle through the two of them continuously. Posts prior to these two posts are not picked up by the slider, as if they don’t exist. I tried deleting and re-installing my theme.

According to the plug-in documentation, the functionality includes “Schedule slides to automatically become visible at any time in the future.”. Can you please indicate where that schedule field is located? I am unable to find how to enable that functionality. Additionally, is there also a way to make a particular slide to stop displaying based on a schedule as well. Thanks!

The image at the top of the page loads distorted at first, then clears up after 20-30 seconds. I’ve tried resampling, changing from jpg to png, making the image smaller, but the distortion remains. Any ideas? Thx!

Hello.

Main menu does not work on 1st level.

Main menu has links to other pages.
On of the entry has submenu entries to other pages and those submenu entries are working, but not main menu directly.

Not working from PHP 7.2 to 8.x so I assume the problem is WordPress version ?
