Hi

I updated several sites I maintain to Parabola version 2.0.0 from 1.8.0 only to find that the whole header went totally out of proportion. The Menu button became extra large, and tel numbers I am displaying using the Header Widget went very large. I’m guessing its some issue with the stylesheet. I have now backed up the site to the earlier version.

Example

Any thoughts?

Thanks

I’m having the same problem and utilized the same solution. I’m so glad I saved a copy of the theme on my desktop. But I want to update the theme, because I like some of the changes made, without the giant font problem.

Same problem here as posts above with same solution. back to version 1.8.0.
also woocommerce child theme -product names seem to be out of proportion too.

Having the same problems AND column issues, which previous patches did not fix. How do you revert back to the previous version?

[apothecary21c]

I deleted the one that was installed from my server than upload an old version.

Previous Parabola versions used a lot of fixed font sizes for various areas – we’ve tried to improve their customization by making them relative to the configured general font size. If fonts are too large after the update, try lowering the general font size.

Menu items size can be reduced with custom styling:
#access a span { padding: 3px 8px; }

Previous theme version can be found either in WordPress’ repository (you’ll need to guess the links or browse the old tickets) or in our archive.

Thanks Zed

I tried the upgrade and put the general font down to 12px and that helped, I also added the custom CSS which also helped. I use a specific font with the text above and below the slider, as well as the font within the slider itself (nivo caption), and when I upgraded that reverted back to a normal font and justify, does that mean I will need to redo all the custom css for the front page if I upgrade?

Thanks

If you edit theme files you will lose the changes in a future theme update. However, if you only used theme settings and the Custom CSS field, they will be kept intact in the next update.

Hi Kay

But when I updated from 1.8 to 2.0 the custom CSS I had put on the presentation page was removed. When it hadn’t been in previous theme updates. The custom CSS still existed after, maybe some changes have been made that would have affected the example CSS below?:

#front-text1 h1, #front-text2 h1 {
color: #fef8af;
font-family: edwardian script itc;
font-size: 3pc;
font-weight: normal;
text-shadow: 0 3px 6px black;
}

Example where above custom CSS was in place before and after the upgrade.

Thanks

This same problem. I have developed my own plugin for shoving of animated chess diagrams and after upgrade to version 2.0.1 (and 2.0.2) were all diagrams corrupted.

I went back to the version 1.8.0.
I have neither time nor taste repair that what worked.

@JimUK69 I see the slider looks as intended, and you’re on version 2.0.2, plus all the custom CSS is loaded on the page. So, everything back to normal?

@Kirilo The changes from version 1.8 to 2.0 are mostly visual, so nothing that would change compatibility with plugins. Could you show us a link to your page so we can investigate further?

Hi Kay,

thak you for reply.
My site: http://soks.sk/.
I mean, a problem is in font formatting. After changing background-size for chess diagram in css file in some browsers it was displayed correct, but in some browsers not. E.g. in Firefox and IE on my computer it was fine, but in mobile browser not. Only in Opera and in mobile “UC Browser” it worked right.

Hi Kay

Yes I rebuilt all the custom CSS that changed as something did change between versions with the front page.

Thanks

Hi Kay

I think perhaps .nivo-caption h2 became .nivo-caption h3 and something changed with #front-text1 and #front-text2.

The nivo caption also had some text animation added that I have had to disable.

.nivo-caption h3 {
animation: 0.75s ease-out 0s normal forwards 1 running myfirst;
margin-bottom: 0.5em;
position: relative;
}

Thanks

Jim…
