    Hi Enfold Support,

    I tried to set a different site adress for my wordpress instance which is not the place where my wordpress is installed.

    I did that in “Settings” – “General”- “Site address (URL”.

    Seems to work just fine – except that a few icon a broken now. That is the social links at the top, the magnifying glass for the search function as well as the down-pointing arrow at the bottom of a fullscreen slider.

    When i change the site address back to what it was (the path to the wordpress instance) the icons come back just fine.

    What can I do? I am not an expert in technical site administration – so sorry if this is not the right place to ask!

    BTW, great, great, great theme…

    Hey djxmdjxm,

    I’m not 100% sure but I think that is a security measure from your browser, if the icons are not loaded from the same address which the site loads from then they will be blocked since the browser flags for cross site scripting. Is there any particular reason as to why you have to change the installation path?

    Best regards,

    Hey Rikard,

    thanks for your help. First of all I tried it on Google Chrome (on Win10 an Android) and Microsoft Edge (just Win10) – so it seems to be common browser behaviour.

    The reason why I choose to change the installation path is that I got a vanilla wordpress instance on a server first and afterwards got the domain. I very much prefer to have my domain name shown in the address bar than some random technical URL As I said I am a webserver novice so I might have done something technically stupid. If it doesn’t work then I wonder why WP offers this in the first place.

    Anything Enfold related I could still do?

    Thanks and best regards

    Chris

    Hi Chris,

    To be honest I’m not sure why that functionality exists in WordPress, but for your problem I don’t think there is much else you can do except serve the content which is being blocked from the ‘correct’ domain unfortunately.

    Best regards,
    Rikard
