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.

Hello again,

The menu has no background color options when it’s in over header image mode. Tweaks to its appearance can then only be done with CSS.

Also, any options indicating they apply to the main navigation will in fact apply to the menu displayed when using the toggler/hamburger icon as that is Bravada’s main menu.
The menu always visible in the header is the supplementary header navigation (which has fewer control options). The header navigation inherits the general typography options. Tweaking it will also require custom styling.

Hi,

Try making your CSS more specific, for example by adding body in front of the rules that don’t apply.

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.

Hi Linda,

I’m only seeing a specific screen size range on which the caption overflows the screen. Try applying the following CSS and check if that improves things:

body .lp-staticslider img {
  min-height: 540px;
}

Yes, our priority support service includes timely responses. The support provided in the forum, while I try my best to keep periodic, does sometimes happen to lag behind.

Hi,

The customize screen (and the media selection/cropping functionality) are core WordPress functionality and they should simply just work.
When they don’t, it’s usually due to something interfering (like plugins or even browser issues).

Hi,

In Bravada, the header/menu social icons are displayed in the toggle-able menu overlay as that is the main navigation – see the theme demo example.

Hi,

The settings plugin works fine even with the current WordPress 6.2.
We avoid triggering unnecessary updates on all the sites using it just to bump the version information so that usually falls behind between actual plugin updates.

Hi,

Even as theme authors we don’t have the permissions to approve translations simply because we most likely lack the language knowledge to ascertain the quality of a translation.

The approval process is handled by (global) language editors that can check the quality of a translation before approving the editor or the submitted translation.

Hi,

We do not have a Plus edition of Nirvana and we don’t have plans for one, either.
Nirvana is one of our four legacy themes which we no longer actively develop but still maintain for compatibility and fixes for the websites that still use them.

Hi,

The example you pointed out is in fact the site’s tagline being used as a link title attribute for the site title/logo, which all our themes use.

Within the menu, the value of the title attributes can be set through the built-in WordPress options:

Hi,

That sounds like the styling is applied incorrectly, which from experience tells me something (namely a plugin) is manipulating the styling or mixing it around.

I you have any caching/minifying/optimizations plugins active on the site, please disable them temporarily and check if the issue still manifests.

Otherwise, broken appearance can also be caused by an issue in the markup itself, like unclosed/unbalanced tags or incorrect tag combinations (causing the browser to try to save face by attempting to guess what starts, goes and ends where).

Without browsing the site in question I wouldn’t be able to provide any more specific insight.

The page/category titles option is indeed not working as expected in the current Bravada release, thank you for pointing this out. We’ll have it sorted out in the next update.

And I can now see what you mean by absolutely massive, but that is so due to locally configured text size settings in the content itself:

So from the theme’s perspective, the content is appearing in the way you set it to appear (as local styling takes precedence over more general styling applied by the theme).

The not found / search form is displayed on the homepage of any WordPress site when it has no content (posts) to display. This can be avoided by publishing posts or setting the homepage to display a (static) page instead.

Thank you for the detailed info, however I am not able recreate this issue on my test site.

Could you open a support ticket and include a Tempera settings export from your site?
Perhaps there’s a specific configuration combination that triggers the fault.

Hi,

Thank you for your interest in Fluida.

Our themes do not feature pricing tables functionality and we have no plans to include this as a feature at this time.
There are plugins available in the repository (and commercially) which already provide this specific functionality.

Hi

theme_lpboxesbg is configurable in the theme’s color options:

That value is used with slight random variations as the background color for individual boxes so they don’t appear too uniform if they lack images:

You can override this randomized derivative background for all boxes in one section with the following CSS:

#lp-boxes-1 .lp-box-image {
  background: #fff;
}

Edit the number to target a specific boxes section (1, 2 or 3) and adjust the color code as needed.

The separator lines may be a side effect of this preset background in combination with custom DPI/zoom levels. Test if removing/adjusting the background also resolve the lines. If that is not the case, being able to browse your site will help in further investigating.

Hi,

I cannot recreate this issue in Esotera on our test site (I didn’t check Kahuna). Comparing the markup and styling used by the galleries, I notice your sites are both missing some built-in WordPress styling that should be applied to the gallery elements (see screenshots below – first one is my test site, second and third are your sites, last image is the inline WordPress-generated styling from my test site that’s missing on yours).

I suggest temporarily switching to one of the default Twenty themes to check if the gallery works fine there. If it still doesn’t, look into any optimization plugins that may merge/minify the styling.

Hi,

The files you get access to with the purchase can be used on a site without any time limit or license dependency – using our Plus themes once purchased is not conditioned to having an active license with us.

However, access to new updates and the companion priority support service is conditioned to having an active license, that can be renewed yearly or less often, only as is needed.

I don’t believe in “lifetime” licenses. Those are, to say the least, a lie by omission – there is no such thing as “lifetime” in software, it should be called “software lifetime” for correctness.

Things always change, evolve, transform, stop being used or simply go away. No developer selling “lifetime” licenses will support or develop that particular piece of software for a person’s lifetime – maybe at most for the developer’s decided software’s lifetime, which means they can just stop supporting and maintaining the software at any point in time anyway.

Updates and maintenance also take time and effort, so charging for that in (optional) renewal instalments rather than all up front with the initial purchase can be lighter on the budget.

Hi,

The submenus in the mobile menu are designed to open by tapping on the down arrow indicator next to the menu item only, not also the menu item itself. This was done to keep the menus JavaScript to a minimum.

We’ll look into extending the tapping functionality to at least link-less menu items without adding too much scripting in the process.

Hi,

The previous/next posts navigation has always linked to the chronologically (based on publish date) ordered posts relative to the currently viewed one. This never took other attributes (category/tags) into consideration.

In Bravada 1.0.7.1 we’ve adjusted this functionality slightly to limit the previous/next post links from the same (main) category (if it exists) as the post being viewed.
