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.

For security reasons, the plugin has to pass all submitted data through the appropriate sanitization filters. The URL fields are sanitized as links. Your URLs are seen as incorrect by WordPress and are automatically prefixed.

You should use domain-relative URLs like /home, /shop, however these will need to contain the full parent path to work, eg /full-path/to-my/shop.

Hi,

Are you referring to the general site layout (content / sidebar(s)) or the posts columns layout in posts lists?

The site layouts can be controlled through the general layout option for the whole site and then specific layout options for static pages (through the meta options).

Posts layout is configurable through the separate option – which applies sitewide for all posts list.

The Plus edition of the theme adds additional layout control options for both features.

That specific URL (/blog) does not appear to be available at this time.

Did you remove the section in the meantime or is it published privately only?

The ‘disable’ option should always be available for selection. We’ll look into this, thank you for pointing it out.

Ensure that the translation (and translation template) files you are using are synchronized with the code.
We recently published a tutorial on how this is done:

In the 1.2.1 update we changed the default value of the header content option from just title to both logo and title (to remove the need for the extra step of changing this option after assigning a logo image on the site).

if you had a logo image already assigned that wasn’t displayed before but you now want to disappear, remove the logo image or turn the option back to “Site title” to hide the logo.

Hi,

The slider has several preset appearance styles selectable in its configuration. Beyond those you’d need to apply various CSS tweaks to customize appearance.

The image displayed in the theme by default on the landing page (homepage), below the menu, is not the configured header image but a static slider placeholder which is configurable from the theme’s options under Landing Page > Slider.

Due to technical limitations the initial sample image is not visible in the customizer panel. To replace it simply assign a different image. To remove the sample image, assign any other image in its place and then remove it.

Hi,

I think we may have discussed this through the support service as well. In case we didn’t and I’m mixing up questions and for anyone else wandering the same thing I’ll try answering here too:

The theme’s slider section visible on the homepage is an integral part of the landing page feature.
The theme does not include this section on other site sections because it already has a header section which displays more information than just the header image (specifically when header titles are used). Replacing the header image/titles section with a slider poses some structural and functionality questions that may be easily answerable for a specific site but cannot be resolved globally for everyone using the theme.

Hi,

After having the plugin installed you’ll need to create a slider (or have the example one added to the site) to be able to select it in the theme’s options.

See our dedicated slider tutorial for the specific steps:

The theme does not crop or manipulate the images assigned to the presentation page columns. It will use and display exactly the images files according to the URLs entered in the settings.

I would need to see the specific setup on your site to suggest CSS to make those tweaks.

The default appearance of Mantra is acceptably tight already.

You can disable that effect with a bit of CSS:

body #access > div > ul > li > a > span:hover::before {
    display: none;
}

For obvious reasons (maintenance and saving on some headaches ;-)) our themes share a lot of the code between them (within the two sets – classic and customizer-based, more specifically). Choosing between themes from the same set is mostly a visual choice.

WordPress’ blog page carries the specific functionality of displaying all posts from all categories in a (descending) freshness order. While having one such section makes total sense, I’m not sure how two or more would work – do they simply display the same posts in the same manner or how would they be different?
If the intended outcome is to display different posts filtered by a criteria (category? tags? author?), that’s already possible with WordPress’ built-in various category / tags / archive sections.

We’re definitely not perfect (but one can hope…) so we can’t really decide for you what to theme to chose. The best we can do is answer specific questions about what a theme can or can’t do, and also how.

@btmz.nitin, I think you’d better ask the theme’s authors about this. It may due to the same WordPress change (I mentioned earlier here).

That depends on where you want to add them. The theme supports both a footer navigation and a custom footer text field that accepts HTML markup.

The indication to ‘twentytwelve’ below the sample code is just an example. The ‘template’ tag should always indicate the slug of the (parent) theme you’re making a child theme for.

Our child themes tutorial is somewhat outdated anyway and no longer works optimally (at least not for our own themes). We’ll need to update it with more recent and specific information.

The slider supports two responsiveness modes through its configuration: one favours the display of captions by maintaining height (at the expense of image sides), while the other keeps the entire image visible but reduces available space for captions.

Choose the one that works best with your usage case.

Based on the frontend output I guess your functions.php file lacks the needed <?php opening, making the server treat it as a text file.

You need to add the correct opening and I also suggest changing it to the code below (to ensure the parent and theme styles are applied in the optimal order):

<?php

// enqueue parent theme styling
function bravada_child_styling(){
	wp_enqueue_style( 'bravada-main', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css', array(), _CRYOUT_THEME_VERSION );  // restore parent stylesheet
	wp_enqueue_style( 'bravada-child', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css', array( 'bravada-main' ), date('YmdHis', filemtime( get_stylesheet_directory() . '/style.css' ) ) ); 		// enqueue child stylesheet
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'bravada_child_styling' );

// add extra code below

Hi,

Both your sites exhibit JavaScript errors, most likely related to the 5.6 update which introduced core changes to the built-in JS libraries.

@kstrayer: your site uses minification so I cannot tell where the fault lies.

@Jenscot: on your site the errors are around code loaded by the fancybox and countdown timer plugins.

It’s a ready-to-use (mini) plugin. Simply upload the zip file to the site using WordPress’ built-in plugins installer (or the .php file to the wp-content/plugins folder via FTP) and activate it from the plugins list to take effect on the site.

You don’t need to edit anything, unless you want to change how the plugin works.
