secondary menu not visible after update to 4.1.2

Probably I found the reason why the secondary menu is dissapearing:
As long as you display “Menu Items for Desktop” as text => no problems with secondary menu. But “Display as icon” => secondary vanishes and only reappears at width: 767px.

I think this is really a flaw: The secondary menu is very important for business websites -> on top of every page visitors have immediate access to phone number, email-address and the language switcher.

Thanks.

Hi John Torvik

It’s not a solution, it’s a makeshift which I had to apply to all my customers enfold sites – quite a loss of time. Besides that and as I wrote before: The secondary menu is an important Thing for business sites, especially hotel websites.

I think it’s a bug which is in dire need to be fixed – same like the non-clilckable links which aren’t working any more…

Thank’s for considering and notifying.

Hi, Basilis

Thanks for your reply.
“Bug or not bug?”, that”s a question I really don’t wish to discuss :-). The problem is that after the update to 4.1/4.1.2 all my Enfold-sites weren’t working properly any more, that I had to fix one by one manually and that – according to your reply – from now on I will have to fix them for all future enfold updates until the end of eternity. That’s quite a perspective…

A little bit more straightforward:
I own a small web agency. I do sites from scratch, work with lots of different CMS and frameworks. General impression: to complicated and/or to support-intensive and/or not very usable for the clients. All in all: too boring and too expensive. And then some years ago I discovered Enfold and I felt that sudden “touch of fresh air which marks the beginning of a new area”. Yes, I really did – and I still do.

But:
If you change a system the modifications added should change its future but not its past: “Backward” engineering is very bad thing. It’s known from the abyss of apps and […] consumer products and also as the core message of pseudo-economical theories: “Why care about backward compatibility? As long as you gain more new clients than you loose old clients your going to write black figures in your earnings”.

Please don’t do that.

Because there is something really special with enfold – that 59$ “graphical interface” which is so easy to understand and which allows to create websites in such a fast and such an intuitive way – with WordPress, the world’s most used CMS, compatible with WPML, with WooCommerce. It’s such a BRILLIANT idee.

No more bricking around. So much potential for developers and their clients. So elegant. Such a fine thing out of its own.
If its development is based on reliability – part of it is backward compatibility.
Like it was until now.

And so at last you have been right: It’s not a bug.

I don’t mind if you leave my reply hang out to dry; at least there is no question in it. Just notifiy.

Best regards
Fabian
