Hello,
Client has updated WP to v4.2.2 and experienced an empty logo image list for the Partner/Logo Element list. Unfortunately we cannot just update the theme as a previous developer has modified the theme directly :(
So, what would cause the Logo Element slider to now show the content for the logo images? Here’s a screenshot showing the result:
I know updating the theme would solve it. Im hoping i could just update this part to get this working if you could please point me in the right direction.
thanks in advance,
JamesHey laundrygroup!
According to this website – http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ your website is currently down. Please check the link once again and make sure that you are using the latest version of the theme which is currently 3.2 – http://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/updating-your-theme-files/
Best regards,
YigitHi Yigit,
I’ve updated the initial post with correct deets.
That’s the problem, the theme has been modified directly by a previous developer instead of creating a child theme so i’ll lose the customisation if I update the theme.
Maybe i can just update the logo element list part instead which should preserve the other changes – and fix the missing slider content. Which files should i start looking at (the postslider.php has been modified, and it seems this would be the first place to look, but not sure).
Thanks for your feedback.
JamesHey!
Unfortunately, that is not going to work, you need to update the whole theme to make it compatible with WordPress 4.2.2. I’m sorry but we can’t help you trace back the modifications made by the previous developer. Please contact him / her again.
Cheers!
IsmaelHi Ismael,
Yea i was afraid of that, and figured that was the only route.
The dev has vanished so no luck contacting them. What do you think about this solution, at least to try to get things working:
- Diff the current theme folder with a vanilla copy of the same version to get a list of files that have changed (at least get an idea where that changes have happened)
- Remove the theme folder and replace it with the vanilla theme keeping theme name etc
- Create a child theme based on the diff’d files only (will also need to copy in supporting files and strip out whats not needed)
- Get site working with the child theme, then update the master theme folder with latest version
- Fix any incompatibilities to get the site working with the latest theme version
Sounds like a bit of work but might be an option if i can get the child theme to override the master theme properly.
Do you think it might be the way to go?
Hi!
What is the current version of the theme? I checked it but he modified the style.css file so I’m not sure what’s the exact version of the theme when the developer modified it.
I checked the home page and I think most of the modifications are done in the header.php file or includes > helper-main-menu.php file. You need to look for donate-widget-in-page container, probably added in functions-enfold.php file. Other modifications are accomplished using css so you have to check the Quick CSS field or the css > custom.css file. Also, check the functions.php file for custom functions. You can transfer those functions in the child theme’s functions.php later.
Regards,
IsmaelI have the same problem…. Yet we have NOT changed any of the core files or CSS.

I have updated all the files including the latest files of Enfold from ThemeForest.
Please Advise
Hey!
@rustysbiz You are currently using an older version of the theme. Please update Enfold to the latest version 3.2.3 – http://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/updating-your-theme-files/
Cheers!
YigitHi Ismael,
Thanks for your help. I’ve finally tracked down the template version (based on fewest different files between clean theme and website theme files) and appears to be v2.9.2. Here’s a list of the changed files:
\config-templatebuilder\avia-shortcodes\logoslider.php
\config-templatebuilder\avia-shortcodes\postslider.php
\config-templatebuilder\avia-template-builder\config\meta.php
\css\base.css
\css\custom.css
\css\grid.css
\css\layout.css
\css\shortcodes.css
\framework\php\class-breadcrumb.php
\framework\php\class-framework-widgets.php
\framework\php\function-set-avia-frontend.php
\includes\comments.php
\includes\helper-main-menu.php
\includes\helper-responsive-megamenu.php
\includes\loop-author.php
\includes\loop-comments.php
\includes\loop-index.php
\includes\loop-search.php
\js\avia.js
\archive.php
\footer.php
\functions-enfold.php
\functions.php
\header.php
\page.php
\search.php
\searchform.php
\single.php
\style.css
\template-builder.phpAs you can see there are quite a few! i’m going to try to pull these out into a child theme along with the base pages etc that call some of the includes to ensure they are including the child theme files and not the parent theme. If i can get that working i’ll then try to get it working with the updated theme.
Any tips would be appreciated. Let the fun begin ;)
