    Hello,
    I’ve been using the Spacer plugin by Justin Saad on our website. For us, it performs two functions:
    (1) Add vertical space (by pixel height) between elements.
    (2) With an add-on called “Panels”, to add a custom panel or text box highlighting information, like those in pages linked below).

    Note importantly that this is in the basic classic editor, not using the Avia Layout Builder.

    Sadly, the developer of this plugin has ceased to be active, and the plugin is now listed on wordpress.org as “closed” since December of 2024. It still works, but I’m worried because I’ve used it extensively and my Wordfence security plugin is sending me dire warnings about the continued use of this plugin being a “critical” issue.

    I’m wondering:
    (1) Is there an alternate plugin or plugins that I could use to do the jobs above, or
    (2) Failing that, is there some other approach: some code to insert or . . . .?

    Thanks for your help, as always. Lance

    Hey Lance,

    You could try using the Separator/White Space element which is an element in the Enfold Layout Builder.

    Best regards,

    Hello Rikard,

    Are you talking about the “Separator/Whitespace” code that is accessible via the Magic Wand Tool (Content Elements > Separator / Whitespace? I looks like that might help with the spacing issue I was asking about (though not the text boxes).

    If so, I’ve been searching for some documentation of how to use the Magic Wand, and how to use the Separator / Whitespace code in particular. Is there any?

    Thanks! Lance

    Hi,

    You can read more about that element here: https://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/separator-whitespace/

    Thanks, Rikard. That documentation is helpful.
    Now, this has answered, quite positively, the first part of my original question, about the adding whitespace in the classic editor. Now, may I press the inquiry to the second question. Does Enfold have any option for adding text boxes to highlight/set off text? As for example in the page linked below.

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    Does Enfold have any option for adding text boxes to highlight/set off text?

    You can manually add the html in a text or code block.

    
<div class="av_spacer_panel av_spacer_panel_3" style="border-width: 18px; border-color: red;">
<div class="av_spacer_panel_content">This year’s concert season is dedicated to the memory of Professor Danlee Mitchell (October 5, 1936 – July 31, 2024), a distinguished musician, educator, and archivist who made significant contributions to the world of music and, as a long-time board member, played a major role in shaping the Center for World Music.</div></div>

    This will create a text box with 18px border.

    To further adjust the style of the text box, you can add this css in the Quick CSS field:

    .av_spacer_panel {
/* more adjustments here */
}

.av_spacer_panel .av_spacer_panel_content {
/* more adjustments here */
}

    Best regards,
    Ismael

    Thanks, Ismael. This is super! I’ve got it working with the basic code and the code for the Quick CSS.

    I do have a further question, how do I set this up to enter it easily into the editor? The thing is I will want to be using it repeatedly, on different pages, but with a different content each time.

    Suggestions appreciated. Lance

    Hi,

    Thank you for the update.

    You can save the Text Block as a Custom Element Template (CET) to reuse it on different pages. Please check this documentation for more info: https://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/custom-element-templates/

    Best regards,
    Ismael

    Hello Ismael,

    Thanks for this. I am studying the documentation you refer me to. Meanwhile, may I ask:

    (1) Are CETs available for use in the Classic (Default) Editor, or only the Advanced Layout Builder? If the latter, ALB only, then my purpose is not served.
    (2) If I save a Text Box/Panel as a CET, will I be able to change the content of the Text Box?

    Thanks! Lance

    Hi,

    Thank you for the update.

    1.) The CET is only available for the Advanced Layout Builder.

    2.) Yes, you can edit the content and all options as long as they are not locked. Only locked options or content fields are not editable.

    Best regards,
    Ismael
