Thanks! I’ll try disabling them all and them activating them one at a time to try to see where any conflicts are.
April 8, 2014 at 4:48 pm in reply to: How to include an .mp4 video in the LayerSlider and a Color section #248838I suspected the same thing, but when I opened the server file it played just fine. If you refer back to my original post you’ll see the other issues with having a video layer background. Those are more important than this particular video not working.
April 8, 2014 at 4:38 pm in reply to: How to include an .mp4 video in the LayerSlider and a Color section #248834Just got a warning from WordFence that you had signed in. Gotta love it.
April 8, 2014 at 4:17 pm in reply to: How to include an .mp4 video in the LayerSlider and a Color section #248830This reply has been marked as private.First, the background is an image that is 1500 X 500 and has been used on other full size backgrounds with no problems; however, here, as you can see by the white-space, for some reason it has been scaled down to a height of 290px. ??? Resolved
Secondly, for the EasySlider on the left, first I specified the size as 495 X 400 from the drop down list; however, no selection seems to do anything. I would also like to be able to have different size columns. On this one here I would like to make the slider column smaller and the text column larger. You responded with the 1/3, 2/3 suggestion, but you didn’t answer why none of the size selections do anything.
Third, I added the text block column and no matter what I select for the style the section has a bordered color background that I don’t want, plus, even if I did want it the box is too small. I also added custom css for the right column to move closer to the left column by adding padding-left:-200px, but, again, that did nothing. I searched exhaustively through all the CSS files, looking for avia-textblock but found nothing. No answer
I might add that in searching for a theme and reviewing your demo the most important design element for me is the ability to have two and three column layouts with images or sliders in one of the columns. Once I know how to do this I can move forward with the site. Sort of answered, but I need to know if the column sizes can be set with custom-css.
Would also be helpful to both of us if we could use colors in our posts.
Follow-up. I added my image above the Header and everything was fine. The content below was full-width as I wanted. I then deleted the Header because I just wanted my image as the page header, but now the entire page has adopted the 1340px I don’t want and doesn’t work. I’ve searched and searched for where the CSS is for the main_content but could not find anything. Is there a simple way to insert a header image without the color content assuming a position in the header image?
I entered a reply to a topic and got the Google “Oops” message. I then tried to reload the page and got the same message.
My response was asking for a clarification on the issues with Jetpack. I have used this extensively on other sites because if provides a lot of excellent widgets not found in most themes. After I activated a few of the more popular widgets and went to the widget area, not one of them showed up as available. This is a hugely popular plug-in and I can’t imagine it is not compatible with Enfold.
Your site is down?

I’m a little confused by your answer, although I agree that a 1/3, 2/3 layout would be better. What about my other questions?
April 8, 2014 at 11:57 am in reply to: LayerSlider Shortcode not working – was working until I added another shortcode #248734What is ALB? My question is why doesn’t the preview adhere to the CSS? For example, if you look at my HomePage I have three column backgrounds that I sized very carefully using a screen capture to Corel PSP which then gave me the exact pixel sizes for the backgrounds. I spent a couple of very frustrating hours wondering why the backgrounds didn’t line up properly. Then I updated and viewed the page and the backgrounds were perfect.
I use Microsoft Expressions to create websites and the Super Preview shows me the site in all browsers and it is always exactly what I coded, so something isn’t right with the preview in Enfold.
April 7, 2014 at 12:58 pm in reply to: How to include an .mp4 video in the LayerSlider and a Color section #248146My issue IS with using a video as a layer. I edited the first layer, adding every video code imaginable for the video that is on the server in the library, but NOTHING worked.
I am happy to provide you with an admin user if that helps.
April 7, 2014 at 12:35 am in reply to: How to include an .mp4 video in the LayerSlider and a Color section #247965If I might be permitted a suggestion, I have wasted much of today simply trying to get an mp4 video as a background to one of my LayerSlider slides. I have searched the support posts and any help documentation I could find and I’ve used just about every code going to insert the video as the first layer. I can click directly on the file on the server and it plays just fine. Depending on the code that I use sometimes I can see the full slide video running, that is until I hit Enter Preview and then it’s gone.
This is a very important feature of the theme and it would really great if there was some help documentation stating exactly how to add a video background, including maybe why none of the recognized formats work. .
Appreciate your help, as always.
Cheers! .
April 6, 2014 at 4:38 pm in reply to: LayerSlider Shortcode not working – was working until I added another shortcode #247925Okay, I solved my EasySlider issue and an update to this process would be great. I didn’t realize I had to drag the icon so far down for it to appear in the column. I was putting it below the color section a couple of inches, but it appears you have to make the <> appear bolder before it will work. Not exactly intuitive.
A somewhat related issue is that in many cases the “Preview Changes” does not result in the actual changes. Only if you “Update” will you see the real changes.
April 6, 2014 at 1:08 pm in reply to: LayerSlider Shortcode not working – was working until I added another shortcode #247901I can not seem to get an EasySlider inside a column. First I added the two-column layout and then dragged the EasySlider element inside the first column, but nothing happens. I want the slider in the left column and text in the right column.
Also, I have a full-width LayoutSlider below the columns. Even though the edit showed no EasySlider, on which I had selected both the 495 X 400 and the No limit, but neither worked, my LayerSlider was suddenly smaller. ???
Being able to have various column layouts and insert EasySliders is critical to my design.Appreciate your help.
Oops. Sorry.
<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-3085" style="position: absolute; top: 350px; left: 180px;" alt="readMoreButton" src="http://www.prismcareernetworks.com/prism_wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/readMoreButton.png" width="104" height="34" />
That didn’t work because the text size is different in each box; however, this did work:
This placed the read more button at the bottom regardless of the amount of text above.
If you look at this section you will also see something I managed to create and I would suggest be a feature request. I wanted the semi-transparent background behind each box with a background image for the section. With some playing around I managed to add the transparent backgrounds to my background image to get the effect; however, it would be great to be able to specify a background for each text box.
Loving the theme the more I use it!
I have been searching for an hour on how to change the alternate content icon color to white. I managed to change everything else in the styling area, but not the icon color. This should be added to the styling area so that when you have a colored background you can change the icon color.
I was able to change it by using the above code, but changing ,main_color to .alternate_color, just as a guess, but it worked.
As someone new to this theme I find it very frustrating when I find a post for my question, but then the reply is marked “private”. What is the point in marking help as private? This is equally true when users post that they found the solution without sharing it with the rest of us..So there is no way to add links to Interesting Links? Also, I am using the demo data to build my site. I don’t want to delete all the sample pages because I will no doubt use some of them for my actual information; however, I don’t want to show the very long list of pages in the footer. I like the idea that it links to my pages, but is there any way to replace this footer widget temporarily and then reinstate it when my site is finished?
Thank you.
Is there no way to edit the footer content? I still want most of it but I just want add some links. Are the “Pages” and “Categories” linked to the actual content, as in the “Pages” will change as I edit them?
Thanks! .
Adding the code you showed below crashed my site. I followed the link you suggested and added this code –
define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’64M’);
and it seemed to work.
Thanks!
Thank you, kind sir! I got exactly the effect I wanted, even adding an increase in font size to make it stand out even more.
I’ve been researching sites that use your theme as well as other “flat design” sites. One feature I really like is the panels that change to show information on mouseover. This site – http://www.plusplusminus.co.za/ has many examples of what I want to do.
Being new to Enfold, is there any tutorials on how to get this effect? I just need a starting point to be able to figure out how to do this as I think I will be making extensive use of this feature.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks, Devin, but I wasn’t talking about changing the Main Menu. I wanted to change the drop downs from this menu. I looked at the CSS again and tried replacing what you sent me with avia-menu-fx and avia-menu-div but none of that worked, but, of course, I’m just guessing, which never works.
Thank you very much. I actually found another one I liked even better.
If I can ask you a related question. I downloaded this video and called it background_video.mp4. I went into the HomePage9 and first attempted to upload the video, but got an error. The video is 3.3MB so I don’t know what the problem was but I kept getting the error, so I used FTP to upload the file.
Then I went in and edited the “full screen” slider, adding the URL for the video. When I went to preview the changes I got the “are you sure you want to do this?” message, which normally means “no” because something is wrong. I then tried to “update” the page and got the same message. I then deleted the full-screen slider and instead added the video URL to the color section and it worked! http://www.prismcareernetworks.com/prism_wordpress/homepage/home-v9-videos-and-parallax/
Does any of that make sense?
Cheers!
Same for MOV files? I found a video background I liked, joined the site and paid for the video, but I’m getting the spinning graphic again.
Thanks, Devin. There’s nothing on your site I didn’t look at, but I can’t believe there was not a word on the support forum or your documentation stating that WMV files weren’t supported. That alone would have saved me hours.
Do you have a good source for blurred video backgrounds? I’ve looked everywhere and can’t find anything to use. Blue is my primary color on the site so I’m looking for something complimentary. Where did you get the underwater one?
Cheers!
Is there an email addy for you? I keep replying to your email notifications and they come right back.
Pretty well blown a whole day now just trying to figure out how to use a video background. I’ve read every support article. I’ve read about WMV files. The video is in my Media Library and I’ve looked at the URL a million times. I even changed the video link on the video on HomePage 9, but no luck. All I get is an ever spinning graphic as though it’s looking for the video, but it’s in my friggin library, so I have no clue what’s wrong.
If the rest of my design changes take this long and I can’t find simple support documentation like “How to use a video background” I guess I’ll eat the $55 and go back to my previous theme.
This is VERY frustrating!
Can you view this? http://www.prismcareernetworks.com/prism_wordpress/?_wfsf=diff&nonce=ce9842c434&file=wp-admin%2Fsetup-config.php&cType=core&cKey=&cName=&cVersion=
Also, I have now spent about three hours trying to use a video I downloaded as a background. I gone through pages and pages of your support notes on the subject but I can’t find what I assume is a simple answer. I’m creating a new page, but in the selection boxes for a background I only see color or image. Nothing about using a video. Appreciate your help on this.
email to support address was returned as “undeliverable”. This was the issue:
I always install WordFence because it has prevented hacking attempts on some of my sites. Today I got this warning that a core file had been changed by installing your theme –
if ( ! win_is_writable(ABSPATH) ) :
Just wondered if this was normal?Thanks!
