Hi Ismael, it took me a bit to find a good example.
Here is a screenshot of what happens with the special heading:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/tmhvkur00zdrqgq/special%20heading%20cut%20off.png
I inserted an initial header using the regular H1 tab within the visual editor, then I inserted the same text used in the header to reproduce the same H1 header using the “special heading” button in the wand tool option.
As I select the blog right sidebar, you can see what the issue is: the special heading apparently does not “detect” the sidebar and disappear partly behind it rather than readjusting to the new space available:

How can it be fixed?
Thanks for the great help.
Hi Ismael,
don’t know what to do…it doesn’t work. Even the procedure to enable ALE on posts doesn’t work. I followed Dude’s instructions as you suggested, then replaced the php file with Nick’s code, as in his last message within the post, yet nothing.
When I go into options inside the blogpost the Avia Builder Layout is already enabled, but nothing shows on the blog page. If I untick, then re-tick the box to enable Avia Builder in the option, the Avia builder actually appears below the normal blogpost box, not instead of it, and it shows the throttle spinning…
So the result is that I keep having my blogpost in the normal mode with whatever I wrote in it and below it I see an unsuable Avia Builder…
I’d rather not use the Insert Shortcode Wand because after I’ve inserted one component and worked on it, if I want to make changes later on or correct mistakes I cannot see anything in the shortcode that the Wand inserted, so it becomes kind of useless, which is why I prefer using the Avia builder Layout.
Thanks for the support.
When Nick worked on my site a while ago he was able to make the Avia Builder Layout tab appear beside the normal mode, so I could choose which one to use and work on the blogpost as if I were creating a page. After I updated the theme the hack obviously disappeared.
Hi again,
I removed the offerchat javascript as per your suggestion, yet, the lightbox doesn’t work anyway. What should I do?
Hi Devin,
thanks for the heads up! I’ll look into it and try delete it and see if that restores the functionality.
Regards,
Antonio
Hi Ismael,
under the Screen Options I don’t have any Avia Layout Builder to enable, the Discussions is already enabled. There is only a general “Layout” option which is already enabled as well as all the other options.
What should I do?
Do you want me to send you my credentials privately?
Yes, Ismael, it fixed the issue. Now the headers in the iconbox are back. Thanks.
Also the unfillable forms have been fixed.
Before the latest upgrade, Nick enabled the Avia editor also for the blogpost in my backend, but now it’s gone. How do I get it back? Also, it was nice but had a problem with the fact that when you write a blogpost using the Aviaeditor for some reasons comments are not enabled. Nick said it was a known issue, is it solved?
Thanks and have a great sunday.

Hi Ismael,
it worked, thanks and I haven’t done anything to CSS files, since I am not a techy and don’t know what to do.
I haven’t touched the site in a few weeks, yet recently I realized that on the homepage the heading of the Icon boxes disappeared completely!
See for yourself:
in the part where it says:”In case you need help” you see 3 icon boxes, which titles were respectively “Any Questions?,”Need Support?”,”How About a Chat?”.
In the backend they are all still there, yet in the frontend they simply don’t show up? How come they disappear when I haven’t done anything to the site?
I just found out about the latest release of 2nd July and updated the theme a minute ago. No changes though.
Also, one more curious thing I noticed is that prior to that sudden disappearance, also the headers of all the sections within the homepage looked bigger, as i wanted them to be. Then suddenly they turned smaller and now I had to go in the backend and turn them from h2 to h1, with the subsequent result of having all the headers in Capital letters and in black colours, whereas before they were as I wanted them to be, ie only inital capitals and grey in color. How come? Again, I haven’t touched the site in a few weeks, so the changes occurred without any work on it on my side…
Appreciate your help.
Thanks.
Antonio
HI Nick,
I emailed you all the credentials. Hope that solves the problem with the link pointing to the wrong place and the wrong page showing all the articles regardless of the excerpts and read more link command only.
Honestly, I don’t understand the video you sent me, it’s too techy for me and seems too complicated stuff…I don’t know what custom post types are nor what would I need them for, and I don’t understand your explanation above, so I may have to give up if I can’t solve this issue and simply revert back to the “old” Blog link which goes back to my homepage but at least if you click back on the blog you have the right page showing up.
Antonio
Hi Nick,
thanks for the fix which now shows the image centered!
I insert images into the post using the “add media” button so I can add as many as I want using a standard format blogpost. Then I chose the one I want as featured image and insert that as well.
I see that all my images inserted within the justified paragraphs are justified too. How do I avoid inserting images justified? Is the fact that they are justified a big problem?
Thanks for solving the image positon issue.
How about the link to the main blog homepage (in the site now the link is ‘Blog2’) still bringing back to a page showing the entire articles in a row rather than just the excerpts with the read more link although that is selected correctly in the backend of the Blog2 page?
Thanks,
Antonio
Hi Nick,
here is the link to the dummy blog i just created (same exact options as for the regular blog):
http://vacationrentalsecrets.com/blog2/
I did follow all of your tips in each screenshot and apart from the Theme Options within Enfold for the blog which were not set to “Blog” initially and this only caused the “Blog – Latest News” link to go to my hompeage instread of the Blog homepgae, all the others where exactly already set as you later suggested and the page looked exactly as I wanted it to be.
When I inserted the css inside the quick css field and saved it, the image gets to the left instead of being centered as it was correctly before. If I don’t insert anything in the quick css field, the image is correctly placed in the center.
If I do not select “Blog” inside the Theme Options and leave it as is, the page looks perfect (without your css) but the link is still to the website homepage. If I do select “Blog”, then the image is no longer centered and the problem with the blog not showing the excerpts anymore but the entire articles in one single page is recurring.
I filmed everything on my end here. You can watch it at the following link:
Hope that helps…
Thanks.
Antonio
Hi Nick,
the css doesn’t work. The image is still on the left as it was. Besides, the page keeps showing the entire articles instead of the excerpts as it was before. How do I fix that?
As I said, I am going to revert to the ‘old’ view (the one with the incorrect link), because at least it shows the page exactly as it should be.
If there is a further fix you can provide me with I’ll wait for that, then try it out.
Thanks!
Antonio
Hi Nick,
yes, it does. It is set as you said, however when you looked a few minutes ago, you may have probably seen the “old” version, which I reset as I wrote, because I didn’t want the wrong pageview to appear.
So now I will set it again as it should be, following your specifications and will leave it like this for the next 8 hours, hoping you’ll get access to it again before and can find out how to fix the issue.
I am in Europe at the moment, so will look at the site again in the morning and I guess you are probably somewhere else, so you may hopefully get back to me with a solution by tomorrow (8 hrs from now) when I’ll have to revert to the “official” view, which is the one with the blog link not working.
Thanks!
Hi Nick,
it was the first one you mentioned which was not set correctly! In the Enfold > Theme Options I had not selected any page in the Blog section. Now that I set “Blog” each first image in each post appearing on the main blog page is no longer centered, as it was nicely before with the nice author circular thumbnail appearing below. Now the image is on the left. How do I make them centered again all of them?
Besides, there is again something that I don’t seem to understand: if I select the Blog page in the Enfold > Theme Options as per your screenshots, now the page shows again not just the list of blogposts with the excerpt as it was before (which is exactly what I wanted). It shows each article complete, one after the other, and without any possibility to add comments. I just simply want it to revert to the way it was before, so I guess I will “unselect” the Blog page in the Enfold > Theme Options, because I am currently getting a few visitors to the site and I don’t want to mess up too much!
I’ll wait for your advice on how to fix the image and excerpts displaying as you will see them now that I will again “deselect” the Blog page option, rather than on the left (the image) and the full articles on such page.
Thanks for your awesome help!
Antonio
Hey Nick,
your tip on the size of my images in the blog is absolutely outstanding! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
It looks way better now! If I were to make the images slightly bigger would it be possible? Should I just change the max width say to 450px?
For the “Blog-Latest News” how do I make it to redirect to the blog main page instead of my site’s homepage? It’s something I should definitely change. If someone wants to get back to the general blog while reading a single post and they click on the “Blog-Latest News” they’ll get to the homepage instead of the main Blog page.
Any clue?
Awesome help, thank you so much!
Antonio
Hey Dude,
when you say:
and replace “Blog – Latest News” with your custom text.
where do I find “Blog – Latest News”? I can’t find it in the index.php file.
Also, I’ve replaced the lines you said but I still see the “Blog – Latest News” in each blogpost, so I don’t know how to change that.
Most importantly, when I click on to “Blog – Latest News” i keep getting redirected to the site’s homepage, whereas I want it to redirect to the main Blog page. How do I do that?
Thanks Dude,
I was able to fix the Dropcap last night by manually choosing the excerpt in the post back end, so that’s why it looked fine to you ;-)
I copy/pasted the html part of the excerpt I wanted to show, so it did ok.
I’ll follow your other tips!
Again, thank you.
Antonio
Hi Devin,
I don’t understand what you wrote in my previous post…up 2 people…
There is a truncated grey sentence: Edit by Devin….
What does it mean? Is there already a possibility to duplicate pages/posts? I don’t see anything in the upper right hand side of the editor…
[Nick: Yes. You can save a page/post/cpt and then open
a new page or post or custom post type and load up the
save and you got a duplicate of the original.
See: http://www.clipular.com/c?7812119=5Qttc8cQnhD8sGgIEuWOb6-Xd5I&f=.png
]Thanks.
Antonio
Also, when I click on the ‘General’ link of the “Categories” in the sidebar, it opens up all the blogposts in that category in a single page, with the entire articles and without the possibility to leave any comment! I want the total opposite, that is the page to show only the excerpts of each article with the “read more” link. How do I do that?
You can view the behavior here:
Hey there,
I don’t know if it’s been suggested already, but I think it would be pretty useful to add the possibility to duplicate pages as they are in the backend.
It’s a great option when you have to create a new page from scratch using the same exact features of a page/post you previously created, such as a precompiled form for example.
I use it to send customized surveys to clients during my individual consulting and since I have a survey of around 60 questions, it would be great to be able to duplicate the entire page as is, rename it, and customize questions or background images accordingly.
I saw the “duplicate” feature virtually everywhere in each WP theme but in Enfold.
;-)
Keep up the great work, I love this theme!
Edit by Devin: You can save the Advanced Layout Editor Templates in the upper
right hand corner of the editor by clicking on "Templates"Thank you formateins!
I found a revision that still had everything, but curiously enough if I restore that version it still shows up an empty accordion…
So now I am trying to recreate the entire accordion with a copy/paste of all the Q&As from the WP revision that still has that and hope that I can restore the page this way.
A bit time consuming but at least hopefully I haven’t lost a whole day’s work.
Where do you insert the code you gave me?
Thanks.
Antonio
Hi Ismael,
thanks for your reply. I’ve done what you said.
Which video should I watch. There was no link in your message?
Thanks! I’ll follow your instructions!
Take care,
Antonio
Also, the original blog page I am using from the dummy data doesn’t respond to the “show extracts with read more” only feature I assigned and it shows up the entire blogposts one after the other without the possibility to add any comment.
How do I solve that? Should I delete the blog page, make a brand new one and assign the modules within the Avia builder then put it on the menu?
Thanks
Nothing…
it doesn’t work even after resetting all the widgets…let me try Peter’ s fix and I’ll report on that ;-)
Hi Ismael,
yes, your code worked great on the homepage, which is why I tried to find the appropriate code for this other page. My mistake was that, as you wrote “home” in the code for the homepage, i changed “home” into “one-to-one-consulting” for this page, instead of the home id (1548).
Now it works also for this one and I understood what I have to change for future pages that may give the same behavior.
Awesome, 1000 thank you!!
What is not working yet is your workaround on my other topic, regarding the contact page not picking up the correct sidebar, which a few other guys are experiencing. I did as you suggested there but it doesn’t seem to change anything. It still gets stuck.
Regards,
Antonio
Thanks guys! I just did it through Filezilla, by donwloading the new theme, unzip the Enfold theme folder and copy “only” that folder into the wp/content/theme folder.
It shows now version 1.5 and seems to be alright, although I haven’t really tested it yet, but I am on the site now, so I’ll find out ;-)
Ok, Thanks.
So I’ll be clearer for all the others like me because I had to think twice before understanding what you meant:
1- Inspect the body class for the current page with the promobox as per Ismael instructions (see Chrome).
2- locate the page id corresponding to the page you want to change the color of the promobox only (and not that of all the promoboxes in the entire site, or you will insert Dude’s general css code to do that – see above).
3 – then go to the Styling Options in Enfold Panel and insert the following code in the quick CSS field:
.page-id-XXX .main_color .av_promobox{
background: #fcfcfc;
}
where the XXX stands for the page id number.
