You can choose how many posts you want to show on the Presentation Page from the Theme settings >> Presentation Page Settings.

You can also choose how many posts you want to show on your main page from the WordPress dashboard >> Settings >> Reading.

Hi Foz,

I see you switched back to Twenty-Ten. If you do come back to Tempera let us know and we’ll have a look at it.

Hi guys and sorry for the lagged response.

The ‘cryout_header_hook’, just like the name implies is a hook. It’s not an editable function, it’s just a function that you can ‘hook’ into with your own custom functions.

Here’s more info on WordPress hooks and actions http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_action You can also google for more in-depth tutorials.

Good luck!

Hi Julie,

Yes, you can only choose one category for the columns. If you want more control over them there’s a “Specific Posts” option where you can add the IDs of the posts you want.

Also, you seem to be using the Presentation Page just like it was intended to. We just added a Showcase forum for Tempera but you can check the Parabola and Mantra Showcase forums for more inspiration/understanding.

Good luck!

You can add as many widgets as you like. The only problem is that there’s probably not enough room for all of them to show. Increase the header height and they will all be visible.

Hi Vanessa,

I see the top bar is hidden on your site. Are you still having the issue?

The plugin isn’t showing because Tempera uses placeholders and hides the default labels which the plugin in question is using. To show the rating stars add this code to the Custom CSS area:

.comment-form-rating * {display:inline-block !important;}
.btn-group {padding-top:130x;}

Good luck!

Hi Guys,

We’re working on implementing this for the Presentation Page but in the meanwhile the ‘WordPress SEO by Yoast’ plugin seems to be working nicely.

@Zil4rt Add this to the Custom CSS area in your Theme settings page:

#main {background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.7);}

That 0.7 value is the opacity value. Play with it to get your desired results.

HI Jeroen,

It is possible but it would require quite a bit of CSS editing and even more testing (responsiveness and more). We are currently working on implementing that directly into the theme but we don’t have an estimated date of when that will happen.

Until then if you know your way around CSS you could create a child theme and give it a try yourself.

Good luck!

Hi Aaron,

That’s a good temp solution but you’ll lose all those changes when you update WordPress next time. We will add an option to the menu alignment in the next Parabola update to take care of that.

Until then, if you don’t want to edit any code you could just create a new menu with the menu items order reversed.

Good luck!

Hi Steven,

I’d suggest you disable all plugins you have installed on the non-working site (or maybe check what plugins differ from one installation to another and just disable those).

One other possible issue could be related to incomplete theme files. Delete the Nirvana folder from the non working installation and re-upload a fresh, newly downloaded copy of the theme.

Good luck!

Our themes are not built with Page Builder in mind. Most free themes you’ll find are not Page Builder compatible. Although our themes do provide their own set of over 200 options that try to give you all the tools you need.

Could you show us a link to your site with the text widget in the footer area? Also the Presentation Page columns only support Cryout Column widgets.

Hi marcella,

Your CSS is added just fine within the theme. The only problem is the actual CSS you are using. I suggest you read a bit about it if you’re going to use it extensively. http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_intro.asp

For example this:

element.style {
display: none;
float: right;
text-align: right;
padding: 5px 20px 5px;
text-transform: uppercase;
font-size: 14px;}

does nothing. It’s probably copied from Firebug or something similar but it doesn’t do anything.

You also have spelling errors like ‘ffont-family’ here

h1 {text-transform:uppercase; ffont-family: ‘Cutive Mono’, serif; color: #699; font-size: 20px; }

Also, remove all media='all' text from the CSS. That pretty much ruins all the CSS. You’re just not using it right. Here’s a quick read on how to use them http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_mediatypes.asp

Good luck!

Hi Will,

No, you are not missing anything. A searchbar option for the other menus will be implemented in future updates. We’re working on it as we speak 😉

Hi!

Just remember that you have to choose Custom Logo as Site Header from the Theme Options. We’ve tested it and it works as expected. Could you show us a link to your site with Custom Logo enabled?

Also, download the latest version of the theme from here https://wordpress.org/themes/download/nirvana.0.9.1.zip?nostats=1

Hi again Will,

The meta bar setting only affects post pages (blog, categories, archives etc.). On single pages the meta is fixed and split between above post content and below post content.

Hi!

This seems to be a browser issue. If I tried to access the URL of one of those images I got this:

http://cdn3.gettingthingstech.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/titanium1.png

Please have a read here http://www.webmasterworld.com/graphics_multimedia/3287801.htm and basically make sure your images are RGB and not CMYK.

Good luck!

Hi Tushar,

First of all thanks for the feedback. Now let’s get to the answers:

1. Yes, this is a issue from 0.9.9, it will be fixed in 1.0.0 (available very soon)

2. Could you show me a page where the breadcrumbs don’t work? I don’t see any sub-submenus on your page.

3. The menu is intended to have a defined background color (not white). Aside from the border there’s also a shadow that gives the menu items a button-like contour that’s not visible when the menu is white.

Anyway, setting white as the background color is not wrong. To remove the leftmost border from your menu add this code to the custom CSS area:

#access > .menu > ul {border-left:0 !important;}

Good luck!

As a side-note, @Zazzy: Yes, in Mantra the slider loads the posts even if they don’t have a featured image assigned which isn’t such a great idea as you’ll just get some text on a blank slide. So in Tempera only the posts that have featured images assigned are considered. We’ll actually implement this in Mantra as well.

This ‘feature’ is noted in the help (hover over the question mark) in the Tempera settings. It says:

Only the slides with a defined image will become active and visible in the live slider.

When using slides from posts, make sure the selected posts have featured images.

Hi guys!

@joe To add italics to the Site Title add this to the Custom CSS area:

#site-title span a {font-style:italic;}

@Phil You can add CSS code by going to the Tempera Settings page >> Miscellaneous Settings >> Custom CSS area and pasting your custom CSS there.

@George If you don’t want you background image tiled, change that code to this:

#main { background-image: url(...) no-repeat center center; }

Good luck guys!

Hi Mike!

I’ve checked out your site and apparently you have some caching plugins installed. Your site right now is a mix of versions 0.9.8 and 0.9.9. Please delete your current cache and everything should be okay.

Hi Lorenzo!

A quick solution would be to add this to the custom CSS area:

.presentation-page #forbottom {max-height:330px;}

Give it a try.
