Hi,

Any static page that is assigned to the special “blog” section will have all of its content (except the title) and meta attributes (such as featured image, custom metas provided by the theme) ignored by WordPress and will use the general site properties instead.
The same happens to a static page that is assigned as the “homepage” of the site (when the theme’s landing page feature is not used).

Hi,

The various color options work in sets and apply to multiple elements throughout the site (this is mostly true for more general text/background colors, links and and the two accent colors). It is not possible to have color options for each individual element (we nearly did that with Nirvana and it turned into a horrible disaster trying to set up a color scheme for the site).

The animated boxes work well with darker images since the texts are white. The overlay that appears on hover uses the first accent color so that one should be an acceptably dark shade as well (both accents are used in multiple combinations throughout the site with white texts and white backgrounds).
Beyond the available options, the appearance of elements can be further tweaked with CSS.

The secondary content background color applies to the secondary (right) sidebar only – which you’re probably not using.

Hi,

The theme’s meta option to hide the header image does also reclaim the used space. Note that this option does not play well with having the menu set to over header image since a header image is no longer present.

The theme’s demo site is running the Plus edition of the theme:

Hi,

Which landing page section are you displaying that particular page in?
For icon blocks and featured boxes, setting a manual excerpt for that page should prevent its full content to be used (unless the block options are set so).
However text areas always display full content from the source page.

Hi,

We usually release updates to correct bugs or compatibility issues. We are not aware of any incompatibilities with PHP 8.
Have you encountered any issues with using the current theme version with PHP 8?

Hi,

The CTA buttons use target links – these links can be pages (site sections) or anchors inside the content.
If the calendar is displayed somewhere on a page and/or at a specific place in the page then you can link to the page and/or specific location in that page.

Hi,

Space between elements can be customized (if desired) with CSS.
The theme can display up to 4 icon block elements in one section – this number is raised in the Plus edition of the theme to 9 icon block elements in 2 separate sections.
These limits cannot be easily increased since each element displayed on the frontend requires a dashboard configuration option.

Hi,

Various elements are controlled by their respective theme settings. Beyond those, further customizations can be done with custom CSS (or code changes for more complex things).

If you’re referring to the footer credit link (“Powered by” in English), for Nirvana we provide a quick method of removing it together with our priority support service.

We do not optimize nor interconnect our themes with any builder plugin. Any such plugin that follows the WordPress.org coding standards should work correctly in building the content for any pages or posts.

The theme does not control the order menu items are displayed in.
The menu content (be it the automatically generated pages list or a custom menu) is directly generated by WordPress.
For complete control over the menu’s content and structure, I recommend using a custom menu.

Hi,
To customize the order either edit the publish date to make those reflect the desired order or make use of the theme’s roseta_boxes_query_args filter to customize the query that retrieves the boxes content.

$args = apply_filters( 'roseta_boxes_query_args', array(
		'showposts' => $options['theme_lpboxcount' . $sid],
		'cat' => cryout_localize_cat( $cat ),
		'ignore_sticky_posts' => 1,
		'lang' => cryout_localize_code()
	), $options['theme_lpboxcat' . $sid], $sid );

$custom_query->query( $args );

You can, of course, display posts lists inside (static) pages, but the theme’s job is generally taking care of how the content looks, not where it comes from or which one it is. It is more of a task up for plugins to provide additional widgets and/or shortcodes to let you choose what content is displayed where beyond the default functionality of WordPress.
You can go along two paths for this:
– search for a plugin that lets you customize categories appearance (header/background) separately from the rest of the site and make use of WordPress’ built-in post filtering capabilities.
– search for a plugin that lets you display posts list inside pages – but since this is beyond default functionality the plugin will also be in control of the posts’ appearance there.

Hi,

The recommended featured image sizes are those set through the theme options:
– height is directly configurable;
– width is computed based on site width and posts layout;
Images are normally resized and cropped to size, so if the originals have a very different aspect ratio from the set values, then more cropping will occur.
Cropping position can be adjusted or disabled entirely (with the possible side effect of blurry or distorted images, depending on how numbers match up).

Hi,
1. The dismissal is saved theme-dependent and user-dependent. It will return if you switch themes or use a different user.
2. The footer is technically correct since the theme is actually using Kahuna as the theme. Verdant is an extension of Kahuna and customizes functionality and appearance, and we didn’t make it change the footer information.
3. I cannot find any instance of ‘arcanum’ in Verdant’s files. Note that depending on the translation method used (plugin and location of translation files), if you have more than one of our (parent) themes installed some translation files may be shared between themes.

In Nirvana, the H1 tag is normally used on the site title on the homepage (since that’s the most important text there). You can observe this on the theme’s demo.

Since you didn’t include a link to your site, I cannot check your particular setup.

Hi,

Are you looking to link to a specific site section (different from the landing page) or a specific location on the same page (or the third case, a combination of both).

To link to a different page, simply enter that page’s URL in the CTA link field. If you want to link to a specific location on a page (either the same or a different one) you need to use or also include the anchor link.

You can find more info about the different kinds of links and how they work in this WordPress support page:

https://wordpress.com/support/links/

For the current menu item use:

body #access ul li.current-menu-item > a,
body #access ul li.current_page_ancestor > a,
body #access ul li.current-menu-ancestor > a {

The top corners being rounded and the bottom two not is something that’s not configurable as it’s included by default (being part of the theme’s visual personality).
It is automatically applied to the landing page static banner image (when one is used). It will also apply to the slider when using our Serious Slider plugin and the slider is set to use the Cryout Theme appearance style.

The limit between how much room there is for caption or how much of the image’s sides gets lost outside the screen is very broad and depends on many other factors: how large the caption is, how tall the slide image is, how wide the site is, what screen width is the site viewed on (the resize/crop is dynamic and adjusts according to screen size).

You can of course force specific sizes or behaviours with CSS, but both the behaviours and the CSS will vary depending on the current configuration and desired outcome.

The currently published version of Kahuna is missing the compatibility XML file which tells Loco how to manage the translations.
This happened because WordPress.org introduced an additional filtering/blocking layer to theme uploads around the time we published the last update. This filtering blocked themes from containing non-approved .xml files. The list has been expanded in the meantime to include Loco’s compatibility file and the next theme update will re-include it.

For now you can manually import this configuration to Loco using the steps and configuration below, then you can proceed to edit the theme as usual.

Loco configuration for Kahuna (normally contained by the loco.xml file):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<bundle>
  <domain name="kahuna">
    <project>
      <source>
        <exclude>
            <directory>cryout</directory>
        </exclude>
      </source>
      <target>
        <directory>languages</directory>
      </target>
      <template>
        <file>languages/kahuna.pot</file>
      </template>
    </project>
  </domain>
  <domain name="cryout">
    <project name="Framework" slug="cryout">
      <source>
        <directory>cryout</directory>
      </source>
      <target>
        <directory>cryout/languages</directory>
      </target>
      <template>
        <file>cryout/languages/cryout.pot</file>
      </template>
    </project>
  </domain>
</bundle>

Hi,

The hover background color is automatically derived from the menu’s background, but you can tweak it with CSS:

body #access a:hover {
    background-color: #ededed; 
}

Hi,

I cannot claim there are no invalid links in the documentation (there are simply so many that some are bound to be invalid or break in time with subsequent changes).
The broken link should point to this documentation section: https://www.cryoutcreations.eu/docs/themes/plus/companion-plugins/#cryout-featured-content

Hi,

That’s how the color control options are designed to work in Kahuna – the sidebars’ background color applies to the individual widgets to create a block-like visual appearance.

Hi,

If you’re referring to vertical spacing, that can be adjusted by controlling the menu items’ line height:

#access ul.sub-menu li {
    line-height: 1.1;
}

Default value is 1.8.

Horizontal spacing is more difficult to tweak.
