    I love Enfold and the ease with which I created my site! Thanks guys. A couple questions:

    1. How to remove the Home page link from the header? The “Page Order” number tells what position the page will be listed in the menu in the header. I want to hide the Home link (because clicking on the main header logo returns to Home page).

    2. How to make an entire Icon Box clickable (hyperlink to another page). I have 4 Icon Boxes on the Home page, under the LayerSlider, and want each to link to one of the 4 pages on the site. How can I do this?

    3. How to change the 404 page to match the style of the other pages? Currently, typing in [url.com/doesntexit] will redirect to a 404 page that shows a right sidebar and other elements I have disabled on the other pages. Is it possible to create a custom 404 page that matches, or even better, make it so that any link other than one of the 4 existing pages is automatically redirected to the Home page?

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    1.) You can edit the menus on Appearance > Menus panel.

    2.) You can enclose the iconbox shortcode inside an anchort tag then place it inside a textblock shortcode, something like this

    [av_textblock]
    
<a href="http://kriesi.at">[av_icon_box icon='1' position='left' title='IconBox Title' link='' linktarget='no']This is an iconbox[/av_icon_box]</a>
    
[/av_textblock]

    3.) You can manually edit 404.php to change the layout of the 404 page template.

    Regards,

    Thanks, Ismael!

    One issue: Menus don’t save their state. I’ve tried using Appearance > Menu (change and save pages, set menu at left and Save, I even tried deleting and recreating a brand new menu) and Customize Enfold itself to set the homepage menu. That works for the Preview, but then it reverts as soon as I close the Preview.

    How to set the menu permanently?

    Also, for making iconboxes into links, that method is great! But how can I change the text so it’s not green and underlined? I want it to look normal but clickable. Thanks again

    Hi,

    To create a menu, what process do you follow. What you need to do is go to Appearance > Menus. Then click the little tab gear icon to create and name a new menu. Then you hit save on the menu. Then you attach the menu on the top left portion of the screen as the first menu and you click save below it. Only at that point do you begin to attach the individual pages to the menu and when you are finished you click the save box on the right top side of the page.

    So. If you create 3 new menus calling each One, Two and Three. And click save for each menu in the top right side and then click refresh button, all the menus will disappear? How much memory are you using please make sure you are at least at 128M. Please make sure that you do not have Jetpack Plugin activated. Let us know the results.

    I have a page containing a series of links to our sermons. Over time, this list will grow to hundreds of links. How do I add pagination to this page to make navigation manageable? I would like to limit each page to about 15 links per page. Please refer to: http://www.gatewaychurchtest.net/sandbox0/aaa-2/

    Thank you very much

    Hey!

    You can use the “nextpage” quicktag

    <!--nextpage-->

    to split your page/post content. However note that it DOES NOT work with the “advanced layout builder” and you MUST use the “Default editor”.

    Hi Nick,

    Thanks for the advice! I deactivated Jetpack, thinking that was the problem, then completely deleted it.

    There are four “config.php” files when I go Appearance > Editor, but no “wp-config.php”. Do I have to FTP into the site and download that file specifically?

    What happens: I go to Appearance > Menus

    Create new menu (save menu), add pages

    Select menu under “Enfold Main Menu” dropdown at left > click Save

    Leaving the Menus page, or even refreshing, just removes my selection (meaning, “Enfold Main Menu” dropdown returns to blank state).

    Any ideas? I’d like to use the Enfold menu with the highlighted underscore, and also remove the Home page from menu.

    Thanks again,

    Sam

    Hi,

    1.) You can use FTP or go to your cpanel to edit wp-config.php.

    2.) Please overwrite your wordpress installation with a new wordpress download, see if it fixes the menu. Override the whole site except the wp-content folder.

    Hi Ismael, I need to change the side bar that is currently displaying on my 404 page. Can you tell me how to write this?

    //get the sidebar

    $avia_config = ‘page’;

    get_sidebar();

    ?>

    Thanks,

    -David

    Hi,

    @BizBuzzMedia:

    Edit 404.php, find this code:

    //get the sidebar
    
$avia_config['currently_viewing'] = 'page';
    
get_sidebar();

    Replace it with:

    //get the sidebar
    
$avia_config['currently_viewing'] = 'page';
    
echo '<div class="sidebar sidebar_right three alpha units"><div class="inner_sidebar extralight-border">';
    
dynamic_sidebar( '404' );
    
echo '</div></div>';

    Go to Appearance > Widgets, create a custom widget and name it “404”. Supply it with widgets.

    Next time, please create a new topic for your inquiry.

    Thanks,

    Ismael

    I will create a new topic from now on, I just couldn’t locate where to add one. I still don’t see a place to add a new topic.

    Also, I tried the code above and created a new widget named 404 and it’s still displaying the other sidebar instead of the new custom sidebar.

    Thanks,

    -David

    This is the code from the 404 template as it is now.

    <!–end content–>

    </div>

    <?php

    //get the sidebar

    $avia_config = ‘page’;

    echo ‘<div class=”sidebar sidebar_right three alpha units”><div class=”inner_sidebar extralight-border”>’;

    dynamic_sidebar( ‘404’ );

    echo ‘</div></div>’;

    </div><!–end container–>

    The site is at http://www.zatches.org – If you do a search for the keyword “anything” you can see the 404.

    Thanks,

    -David

    Hi,

    It is not the 404 page, it is the search page. You need to edit search.php.
