Hi, I have one question on Japibas: it is a very nice theme, and I’m trying to set it up for my blog. Actually I wrote a post to be shown in the slider, and it works well, with the clickable header.
But if I make the same associating it to a 900×220 image, the image itself is not clickable thus I can’t get to the article. How can I make it clickable? thanks a lot!
Hello,
Could you please send me an email with a link to your site?

Hello,
My question:
How to set categories defined in WordPress (last version) in the menu bar of Japibas theme?
Only pages appear in the menu bar…
On Setting, I did not exlude any pages from Categories but categories do not appear in the menu.
Thank you
Hello,
As said in the post, the theme hasn’t been updated since 2009. So it’s currently not using the WordPress 3.0 menu editor.
I’m working on an update for the theme right now but I don’t know when it’s done. Try to google some tutorials on the new menu and edit the header.php and functions.php yourself.
Awesome, man!
Thanks!
Thanks!

Nice theme. It would be great to have a portfolio page inside as well.
Regards hjemmesider
Thanks
It shouldn’t be very hard for some one to create a Portfolio post type in a child theme or using a plugin.
You could try the Portfolio Post Type plugin.
1. Will the theme support forums? (like bbpress)
2. look the image below. Its ur theme.. activated on my site. open even your demo link above. Now see the horizontal page scroll bar. notice that there’s a lot of page empty more than the resoultion of the page! what is this? Can u remove this?
Link: https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-z8hxMeLwgEs/T6DX5SPa_sI/AAAAAAAAApg/nDhyuRGnZfc/s640/site.jpg
1. I don’t know. I haven’t tested the theme with bbPress. You could try to follow this guide
2. Is your browser width lower than 1050px? The scrollbar shows then the width is lower than 1050px. It properly should be lower
You can create a child theme and add this in the child theme style.css:
@media all and (max-width: 1050px) { html, body { overflow-x: hidden; } }It will be changed in the dev version of Japibas soon.
I’m using mozilla firefox version 11. is its width less than 1050px? And i can’t create a child theme. Can i edit any code in the parent theme itself. if so which one please specify. Thank you.
Problem solved buddy. I’ve edited that code in the parent theme style.css itself.
BTW its a very good theme. Thanks for such a nice and fast response. Awaiting for more free good themes.
Great! And thanks
Hey in the navigation, the words OLDER POSTS and NEWER POSTS must be interchanged.. How do I do that? My latest post is not being showed in the home page?
Fuck. That’s a huge mistake from my side.
I just fixed it in the dev version: https://github.com/jayj/Japibas/commit/65067a9d1d648a96a19a63c45ce9cfc0da91d989
You can make the same changes as that commit in your theme files.
I don’t know why your latest post isn’t showing. Are you sure it’s published and not a draft, private or future post?
Oh regarding the post.. in the theme settings I’ve listed not to display that category posts in the top. Post Problem solved.
The pagination problem also has solved! Thanks for instant reply!
Great!
I just pushed another change so the Next and Prev arrows are correct https://github.com/jayj/Japibas/commit/fb5a2e72b4581ed743e814fd2b054b735086f6b0
Hi can this theme be used by a charity..?
Yes, you can use it for whatever you like!
Hello,
How to include an image in the slider?
Thanks !
You can do it in two ways:
okey, thanks !
But I don’t know how, but i just disable the slider ! How to enable it ?
Appearance > Theme Options has a Slider section.
I found ^^
thanks a lot !
I don’t really understand how to do something like the first slider image.
An image with the text next to it :/
If you use an image that has a width lower than 920 pixel you should have text next to it.
I have to put the link of the image in “miniature” ?
Yes, either upload an image through “Image à la une” or put a link in “miniature”
It work ! Thanks a lot !!
You’re welcome
Hi,
Thanks a lot. How can I change the layout setting for one particular page ? All my website is on the Default Layout, and I don’t see any Page Template selector.
Thanks !
That is currently not possible directly from the theme. You can do it with a plugin or a child theme.
I’ve created a Gist with a child theme that uses the Theme Layouts extension by Justin Tadlock. There’s a download link at the top.
I haven’t tested it so there might be some errors in it but it should create a solid starting point.
Hope it helps you
Hello
There is a problem with the slider when the title is too long:
http://www.imagup.com/data/1165064974.html
The title and the summary are not close to the picture, but under the slider
Is it possible to fix this ?
Great theme btw, thanks for sharing it for free
Hello Bob,
You’re right. The easiest way way to fix it would be to create a child theme (see https://github.com/jayj/Japibas/wiki/Child-themes) and put the following in the child theme style.css:
#featured-section .entry-title a { display: inline; }Hope that helps you. If not, feel free to write again
That works fine, thank you
Hi, Thank you for japibas…
but… where is home page title?! it is blank even in your demo!
?!
Hello Moji
You’re right. That’s very weird. It’s shows when you go into a post and a page. I’m using the native
wp_title()function.Your best option of one of these two:
1. Use a SEO plugin like WordPress SEO by Yoast (recommended as it’s pretty awesome)
2. Create a child theme and put this code in the functions.php:
function my_japibas_child_wp_title( $title, $sep ) { global $paged, $page; if ( is_feed() ) return $title; // Add the site name. $title .= get_bloginfo( 'name' ); // Add the site description for the home/front page. $site_description = get_bloginfo( 'description', 'display' ); if ( $site_description && ( is_home() || is_front_page() ) ) $title = "$title $sep $site_description"; // Add a page number if necessary. if ( $paged >= 2 || $page >= 2 ) $title = "$title $sep " . sprintf( __( 'Page %s', 'japibas' ), max( $paged, $page ) ); return $title; } add_filter( 'wp_title', 'my_japibas_child_wp_title', 10, 2 );Thanks for the comment. I’ll make sure to fix it in a future version.
I mean home page title between title tag,

Bonjour,
J’adore ce theme mais je n’ai pas la pagination “page suivante 1 2 3″
comme dans la demo.
Sorry but I don’t understand French. Could you please write in English?
I love this theme but I do not have paging “next page 1 2 3″
as in the demo.
Hello,
If you mean the pagination in posts you can type this:
<!--nextpage-->into the Text editor where you would like your page breaks to appear.
Bonjour Jasper tout d’abord merci pour le thème très bien et parfaitement ce que je recherche pour mon blog ! J’aurai quelques petite question s’il vous plait. Tout d’abord je cherche comment avoir le menu déroulant comme sur la démo, car lorsque je crée des pages elle s’affiche comme sa : http://hpics.li/ce52210 et moi je voudrais quelle s’affiche comme vous avec le menu ..
De plus j’aimerai savoir s’il est désactiver un champ obligatoire, je veux dire retiré l’obligation de mettre un email ? Voila merci
Hello Jasper first of all thank you for the theme very well and perfectly what I look for for my blog! I shall have some small question please. First of all I how try to have the drop-down menu as on the demo, because when I create pages she(it) displays as his(her,its): http://hpics.li/ce52210 and I would want what displays as you with the menu..

My comments is delete ?
Hello,
Your comment was awaiting approval but should be shown now.
Hello,
Can you make this amazing theme work with BBPress ?
I hope you will do it !
Hello,
I’ve not tested it with BBPress so could you please tell me what is not working? If it’s the styling that needs to be adjusted you could create a child theme: https://github.com/jayj/Japibas/wiki/Child-themes
I’m hoping the next version of the theme support BBPress however that might take long time as this theme is not my top priority right now.
But if you tell what’s wrong I’ll take a look at it.
