In reply to: [Parabola] Problems displaying more than one columnI will add that when I switched the content from column 1 to column 2, and column 2 to column 1, everything was fine. When I reverted back to the original set up (which is how I want the page to look), column 2 lost its column identity and spanned the width of the page, stretching the image, with no “Read More” link. The width of column 2’s image is within the parameters for a 2-column presentation. I can’t figure out what is going on. I don’t expect anyone to fix this, maybe just give me some ideas, steps to take to troubleshoot.
You won’t see what I’ve described on my website because it looked so awful I just reverted to one column.
Thanks.

In reply to: [Parabola] Can I overlay a subscription form on an image?Wow, CrouchingBruin, what can I say but thank you for your generosity in providing such a detailed roadmap for me. I will take the time to work through this thoroughly, and I’m sure that any small CSS obstacles I run across I can figure out on my own.
Thank you again.

In reply to: [Parabola] Can I overlay a subscription form on an image?Thanks CrouchingBruin, I appreciate the info
I am unfortunately very deficient when it comes to CSS knowledge, and therefore clueless about what a CSS rule “to set the background-image property of the page’s content DIV” would look like (although I do know where the Custom CSS field in Parabola’s Miscellaneous Settings page is because I have taken some CSS advice from other’s that was – fortunately – very detailed :).
As far as the sidebar goes, I can set each page’s parameters (layout), so I do have the page set so there are not sidebars.

In reply to: [Parabola] Modify header-extend to full width with CSS?PROBLEM SOLVED!
I’m embarrassed to admit how simple this was, but happy to share. To visually extend my header, which already had a black background, I navigated to: Appearance>Parabola Settings>Color Settings>General>Background.
“Background” has four options, which have pop ups to identify them when you click on each field:
Header background
Main Site Background
Footer Widgets Area Background
Footer BackgroundI clicked on “Header Background” and changed the color to #00000, which is black. Voila!
I realize that this is not the same as “stretching” the header so the whole image takes up the width of the screen, but it accomplished what I needed.

In reply to: [Parabola] Modify header-extend to full width with CSS?Hey SomewhatRounded,
Thanks for the effort:
For linbmcd, you can make the background black to match with the image using this:
#header-full {
background: #000;
}
That way the image won’t get stretched out, or have the nav links over your image text 🙂But unfortunately, that didn’t change a thing :(. But I appreciate the attempt.
Cheers back!

In reply to: [Parabola] Modify header-extend to full width with CSS?Thanks, skulldragon, but when I adjusted the sliders to max (which I assume meant sliding everything over to the right as far as they would go), it basically shifted the content and header over to the right, and I lost my sidebar. The header width didn’t change. Don’t know if you clicked on my link, but I use the presentation page and for the rest of the site, use two columns with sidebar on the right as the layout.
I appreciate your effort – any other ideas/thoughts?

In reply to: [Parabola] Can you put video in presentation column?Fujiya, have you seen this thread which included a solution from Cryout Creations? Maybe it will help.
“Can you put video in presentation column?”
If it’s a YouTube video, there’s a great support page from WordPress.com:
which I used and it worked perfectly on my column on the presentation page of my website: Awakened Lives.
Make sure that you put this shortcode in the column field marked “Text”.

In reply to: [Parabola] Reduce custom logo/nav menu spacingThanks mrtom414, but I’ve actually figured out where I was going wrong – i had not entered the proper settings in both Parabola settings and the overall Header settings. When I did that, it was resolved!

In reply to: [Parabola] How to Center Page and Post TitlesThanks, Andrew. I use Parabola theme, which includes a Custom CSS section that enables me to make changes without having them overwritten when I update the theme. Your code worked perfectly.
#content h1.entry-title {
text-align: center;
}One other question if you don’t mind. The CSS code you provided is global – do you know how I could set this so it only applied to certain pages or posts? Thanks.

In reply to: [Parabola] Mobile site doesn't display properlyOrderup, if you don’t get a response, you might want to consider starting your own thread and re-posting your issue. This thread was marked “Resolved” 4 months ago since my issue was …….resolved.
Woo hoo! I dipped my toes into CSS – just barely – and figured out how to apply the shadow to the column images, using the column image property and keeping the shadow value the same as the slider images.
