Hi.
There seems to be a glitch in the theme concerning the meta fields options on specific post types.

That post of yours is set as an Image post although it contains just text. Set it to standard post to avoid this issue until we get it fixed.

The presentation page is only one, and can only be set as the homepage.

Leave the sidebar background field empty in the theme settings and the sidebar will become transparent (to the next background colour)

Until we get around to adding options for all colours in the theme, this can still be done via custom CSS:

.entry-meta {
    background-color: #F5F5F5;
    border: 2px solid #FFFFFF;
    box-shadow: 1px 1px 3px #DDDDDD;
    color: #666666; }

Which pictures?

I see you managed to increase the spacing between menu items.

Also use
#access ul li:last-child { margin-right: 0; }
to disable the right margin on the last menu item so the menu appears properly centred.

And what should the search page display when it can’t find anything?

Do the posts (used by the slider) have featured images defined?

You can do this two ways:

– use the latest posts widget, display it in ‘below content area’ and limit its view to only that specific page (homepage) via a conditional widgets plugin or Jetpack’s widget display options
or
– use a latest posts plugin that provides a shortcode and include the shortcode in your static page; this may require additional CSS to properly format/position the posts.

Only via custom CSS:

#site-title span a { } – for the title
#site-description { } – for the tagline

There was no issue related to feeds in any of the 2.x releases.

Basic (child) theme files are automatically loaded by WordPress (like index, functions, comments, category, so on).

Others (which are custom theme files) required being included via the child’s functions.php file to override the parent. This refers mostly to content-specific files (content-post, content-page, content-category…) and everything in the theme’s includes/ folder.

Some of Mantra’s functions are child-proof and easily replaceable via the child themes, other (core) functions need to be unhooked and replacements hooked in their place.

theme-comments.php is a custom Mantra file, not part of the basic WordPress theme files, so it isn’t automatically read. You need to include it via the child’s functions.php file.
But make sure the functions defined in it are safe to replace or you unhook them first. Otherwise you’ll get errors.

If you’re using the latest theme version, make sure you’re also using the latest WordPress version.

If you use the latest versions and the settings page still doesn’t work, you should be getting a warning message about jQuery.

Parabola 1.2.2 changelog

• presentation page now displays latest posts by default (requested by WordPress); this can be disabled in the theme settings
• presentation page no longer overrides static page (requested by WordPress); make sure you don’t select a static page under Settings > Reading or you will no longer see the presentation page

#access ul li { margin-right: 20px; }

Play with the value to get the desired result.
