You might have thought we were goners after such a long pause in new posts… but we did not go quietly into the night… we did not vanish without a fight (*)… we’ve fought the cold and now we’re back!
Between fighting viruses and running noses, we actually found some time to update both Mantra and Parabola (who’s update failed to pass due to a misunderstanding with the WordPress theme review team) and also prepare a surprise to all creation lovers out there.
Mantra 2.1.1 changelog:
- added multi-column shortcode responsiveness
- added empty sidebar(s) notice(s)
- added [cryout-…] shortcodes (and we are deprecating the [mantra-…] ones, which we’ll eventually remove) to prepare the switch to the upcoming shortcodes plugin
- fixed category page with intro template ignores the <more> tag
- fixed object/iframe enlarging issues
- fixed presentation page posts to use the correct excerpt length (reported by Edward & MrAwesome)
- fixed incorrect featured images size on presentation page posts (reported by Deby & Scott)
- theme auto featured images now adhere to the set featured image size
Hi Zed, Your design is really wonderful and great, I found a problem in the presentation page on mobile, it will divided in two columns in mobile but the previous version will be shown one by one down the screen.
Mr. Kay is responsible for the design, I only deal with coding and support 🙂
On mobile devices, the presentation page columns are re-arranged depending on the screen size, first to 2 columns per row then to a single column per row, so that the content is still readable and the images are not distorted.
I found a simple workaround to the “1” problem… edit the page and choose “left and right sidebars” as the page type. Unfortunately it does need to be done on each page.
That’s because of a stray piece of debugging code. As soon as the latest update gets published by WordPress you can update and get rid of it.
Hi Zed, I installed today your wonderful mantra theme: I love it!
Only one little problem: I’m using the two sidebar look, one left and one right.
I’ve filled both third and fourth widget areas.
On top of third one (secondary sidebar on the right) is shown a “1” that seems to result from code …but I’m not a developer unfortunately
Please take a look at http://lastoriaviva.it/category/storia-e-persone/la-cucina/ as a sample of it.
thank you very much for your work and your answer 😉

welcome back
I am using the new version. I have a two column layout. All but one of my pages on my site render correctly. The sidebar loads under my content vs the sidebar. I have tried everything, including css and still can’t move to the right of the content. I have to delay my launch date until a fix is found. Please help.
A link to your site?
I have only one problem with new version – there is a number “1” which is shown on my homepage under right sidebar… I didnt change anything, just updated theme and it just appear there… please tell me how to edit it and hide this number 🙂

I am not alone with this problem – check mantra theme support section (wordpress.org)
We found that (and also saw the WordPress topic about it). It’s already fixed and a new update will be published soon.
Thank you very much! 😉
is there an update link around?
All updates will show up in your WordPress dashboard, under Home > Updates.
If you need to manually download, you can always find it on its WordPress page.
Thank you – any update to social media icons? And add support for left/right social media bar?
Last thing – please change comment layout – I like the one in Parabola…
Mantra needs some love. 🙂
Each theme has its individual look and Mantra’s comment layout is part of it’s identity. There’s no point in making different themes if they all look alike.
We might add the left/right socials but a tad further into the future…
OK, I understand but the layout and style of comments in mantra looks pretty old… but ok, it is up to you 😉
I would like to use Parabola theme but it doesnt support special characters (specially centra and east europe fonts) and I dont wanna search for another font which fits for parabola
