Parabola 0.9.8 is boiling hot!

Just like we promised, we bring you a fresh new version of Parabola right at your doorstep. Careful how you handle it cause this one’s hot!
Apart from extra sugar and extra cream we also included a couple of responsiveness fixes, updated to the newest version of Nivo Slider, moved a few options around and added a dropdown menu shadow setting.

Delicious, I know! But check out the complete list of ingredients.

Parabola 0.9.7.3 and the quick fix

Are you in need of a fix? Well you’ve come to the right place. We just happen to have a quick one. The Parabola version we previously released came really close to perfection. But since something perfect never has something like version 0.9.7.2 next to it, you were probably expecting this.

So here’s the changelog for this version.

Parabola download/install issue fixed; grab it now from WordPress

Just a quick update for those that had issues with the Parabola installation. We’ve presented the problem to the guys at WordPress and the issue was that one of the servers had a bad ZIP of the theme and that’s why there was a chance that upon download you’d get the bad file. But it’s all fixed now, all thanks to the great guys at WordPress.

So go get yourself a new fresh copy of Parabola if you’ve had problems with the download till now. Theme on!

Parabola 0.9.7(.2) gets approved by WordPress

Yay! Parabola has been (finally) approved by Wordpress, so it should become live in the next couple of hours/days (who knows… weeks?). and is now live and available for install with just two clicks!

There’s a bit of version mess because of the needed last minute changes required for approval. All three versions (0.9.7, 0.9.7.1 and 0.9.7.2) are mostly the same, the latter two coming with small changes that don’t affect the functionality in any way.

Mantra 2.0.7.1 fixes the menu

Always when changing things around (theoretically improving) there’s bound for something to go wrong.

In this case, the main menu dropdown functionality failed on Wordpress installations that used the automatically-generated menu (not custom menus). But this is now fixed.

Mantra 2.0.7 is going forward

Preparing for the next big step in Mantra’s life (namely v2.1) which should bring along a surprise (or more), we’re releasing a maintenance update in the form of 2.0.7.

When updating to Wordpress 3.6, also update Mantra to at least 2.0.7 otherwise the theme configuration page will misbehave (due to a limitation in our jQuery version checking function)

Parabola 0.9.6 and a small step back

Parabola’s first encounter with its initial Wordpress review didn’t go quite as we planned (actually it didn’t go at all as we planned; but evil master plans for taking over the world rarely work). Nonetheless, Parabola is making steps forward and the new update has already been submitted for review.

So, without further ado, here’s the changelog for version 0.9.6…

How to use the Category Page with Intro template in our themes

Our themes (including Mantra and Parabola) feature a special page template titled “Category Page with Intro” which allows us to display a category of posts coupled with a custom intro to that category.

This is a page template, so it will show up in the page templates list when creating/editing a page while using one of our themes. What is typed into the page content is what Wordpress will display as the intro on the category.

Parabola 0.9.5 is getting closer

Now this is something you don’t see everyday (or at least you didn’t until now). Two theme updates in two days.
Parabola is getting closer and closer to inclusion in the themes repository. To give it a nudge in the right direction, we are releasing another update – v0.9.5 – addressing a couple of little issues we’ve found or been told about in the meantime.
