I had a malware infection on my site (including the index.php file). The problem has been fixed. Now, all the pages are visible online. However, on the back end, I can’t edit anything anymore and, if I add a new page and click on “Advanced Layout”, nothing happens. I have no idea what the problem is or how to make Enfold respond the way it used to.
Hey nanook,
Have you tried uploading a new copy of WordPress & Enfold to overwrite your old files?
Also please ensure your webhost has PHP version 7 installed, some people with version < 5.5 are experiencing similar issues.
If both are true there is a good chance your database has been damaged, even though the infected files have been removed.
Perhaps try creating a localhost clean install of WordPress & Enfold and export your database via phpmyadmin in your webhost cPanel to your localhost to see if the issue persists.
Best regards,
Mike
Thank you very much, Mike. I checked and I see that my host’s PHP version is 5.6.32. Is that a problem?
Also, I’m not clear as to how to upload a new copy of Enfold.
Hi,
v5.6.32 is the minimum, but WordPress recommends v7
Try to update manually via FTP: https://vimeo.com/67209750

Hi Mike,
I re-installed the latest WordPress and, today, just installed the latest Enfold update – and it all works fine now. Yay! Thanks.
Follow-up question / problem. I have access to everything on my home computer but can’t see my Enfold advanced layouts or a few other things on my work computer. So I can’t edit. Is there something my computers needs updated to view or edit Enfold properly?
Hi,
There should not be, wordpress and enfold should work in any browser.
Does your work browser allow java? or are you behind a firewall? If the diffence is visable, can you include a screenshot from your work browser?
Best regards,
Mike
Sorry. Stupid and simple problem. I had to delete the cache on my work computer. All good now!
