OK, I figured out how to remove the delay from the megamenu!

it was LINE 26. I set it from 300 to 0.
delay:0

I also edited the functions.php file to simply:

wp_dequeue_script('avia-megamenu');
wp_enqueue_script('avia-megamenu', get_stylesheet_directory_uri().'/js/avia-snippet-megamenu.js', array('avia-default'), '', true);

Without it being within a function and that worked.
Now my only issue is the mouseout delay on normal dropdown menus. Can’t find that anywhere.

Nevermind, I figured it out on my own. Probably could use some validation and cleaning up of the URL (in case there is extra formatting in the post content area), but here’s a solution for anyone else interested.

Open up functions-enfold.php in parent theme and copy the entire function that starts with:

if( ! function_exists( ‘avia_ajax_search’ ) )

Paste this function into your child theme’s functions.php file and then make this tiny modification:

replace this:

$link = apply_filters( 'av_custom_url', get_permalink( $post->ID ), $post );

with this:

$link = apply_filters( 'av_custom_url', get_permalink( $post->ID ), $post );
/*  modify link to use the the actual URL specified within the content area for "LINK" post format  */
if ( get_post_format( $post->ID ) == "link" ) {
    $link = strip_shortcodes($post->post_content);
}

if anyone else has a more elegant solution, I’d love to hear it. I would prefer to not have to copy the entire avia_ajax_search function, but this works for now.

You can close it. Thanks.

Adding &iframe=true to the end of the youtube URL did not work. Still launching in new tab.

Complete URL example:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXXXXXXXXXX&iframe=true

I checked the source code and see this:

Nevermind I figured it out. I was using “The Events Calendar” plugin and “Events List” widget within the widget area “Below Menu”. Within the widget, I had “Show widget only if there are upcoming events” checked. I didn’t realize this would remove the entire widget area from the site. I unchecked it and now my widget area is back on the site!

Hope this proves to be useful for anyone using the events list widget!
