    Hi, great theme with some really well thought out features.
    I have a couple of licences now and building a couple of sites with e-commerce features for clients.

    I am using the woocommerce “brand” extension plugin to enable customers to shop by brand as well as categories.

    Is there a way to enable the very useful options which you offer for product categories already i.e. showing the category (in this case brand) thumbnail on the archive page of each brand and controlling whether or not to use a customised banner with description at the top of each brand archive page ?

    This is the site I am working on right now so you can see what I’m trying to do, there’s a brand archive page where I haven’t found the mean to add either the category description at the top of the page, the brand thumbnail or specific page banner.

    Your help would be much appreciated
    Thanks in advance

    Hey Hugues!

    Yes, when you edit the product category in Dashboard > Products > Categories you can set a custom banner image and description and it should display in the archives for each category.

    Best regards,

    Hi Elliott,
    Thanks for the reply but actually what I meant was whether it is possible to activate the way you describe to edit categories for the archive pages generated by the woocommerce “brands” extension as the option isn’t enables for those “brand categories”.

    Also, i must be dum but i can’t for the life of me find where to post a new thread on the forum – in spite of somehow having managed to post this one – can you point me in the right direction please ?
    Thanks

    Hey!

    I’m sorry but I’m not sure I understand. If your using a Woocommerce extension then I would try contacting the plugin author first.

    You can create a new topic by navigating to the forum of the theme your using. At the top there will be a big blue button for posting a new thread.

    Cheers!

    Thanks Elliott,
    I think I was having a moment – I was looking at the support forum overall page and forgot I needed to click on “Enfold” on the list of topics, my bad. My only defence is that I’m used to single them forums for support (I’ve worked a lot with X by themeco) so didn’t think of the interim step as for me Kriesi = enfold = Kriesi. You’re not kidding about the big blue button, you must have thought I was an idiot :-)

    It’s no huge deal about the Woocommerce extension, I can live without the change and use it as it comes by default. As I’m trying to activate an Enfold feature on their “brand” pages they’ll probably tell me to talk to you anyway. Is there a means I can send you a screenshot of the WP backend or an image of what I’m trying to activate just so you can see what mean ?

    I’ve just landed another couple of clients and I’ll be buying 2 more Enfold licences, I must say some things which can be tricky on other advanced themes I’ve used are really well thought out here – the ajax portfolio feature and controlling columns of equal height to name but two. Having code snippets for frequently requested fixes is a great idea too and a good complement to the forum. I’ve built 3 sites now with Enfold and other than this thread I’ve pretty much been able to answer my own questions – famous last words, I’m sure we’ll chat again.

    The only thing I’d look to enhance perhaps is the ability to target every individual elements with CSS classes, ID’s or inline styles as X does it with Cornerstone for example rather than being limited to ID’s for columns but I guess I want to have it all. Your Enfold theme’s out of the box features do take some beating :-)

    Last thing, I think I noticed there is an upgrade available for Layerslider WP as a stand alone product, do you know if you guys are planning to roll it out in a theme update soon ?

    Have a good evening
    Cheers

    You’re in for a surprise. Activate the custom css class field: http://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/turn-on-custom-css-field-for-all-alb-elements/

    We don’t update the plugin automatically but we always include the latest patch once it is stable.

    Best regards,
