“the complete path is wp-content/themes/enfold/lang”
Yes, that’s what I figured, but what I meant is: Won’t it be removed when you update the Enfold theme since it’s a subfolder of the theme?
There’s a Sidebar shortcode that you can drag and drop anywhere in your main content and then choose which sidebar (with the widgets in it) you want. Unless that’s how you did it.
Hi Janke,
While editing a page you will see a “Layout” box below the “Publish” box on the right. In there you can change the dropdown “Display the header” to “Don’t display the header”.
That should fix it for you while keeping it safe from future theme updates and no need to edit code.
I also need to translate the hardcoded parts, so the plugin is interesting. But I have a few questions about your reply:
You say “select the enfold/lang folder as translation path”, does this mean instead of “wp-content/languages”? And won’t this erase everything when you update the theme?
Any WPML setup tutorial for Enfold available, by the way?
Oops, it seems I was too fast. Forgot a step in the regenerate thumbnails plugin. It does work fine now!
Thanks again for the help, Dude!
Thanks, but it doesn’t seem to fix it. Obviously something else is preventing it from being larger than 1030. I tried to change the number in the line above to something like 500 (instead of 1210) and it does it well, but if I go larger than 1030 it just stays max at 1030. :(
Please someone?
It works fine in the official Enfold demo, so I don’t understand what’s causing this, especially since it’s like this without any of my custom CSS. The surrounding div seems to be set correctly at 1210px, but the img and hyperlink itself are 1030px, why doesn’t it grow with the grid?
Your suggestion didn’t seem to work for me, but I used a different workaround. I added the following code to the <head> of header.php:
<style type=”text/css”>
@import “http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:400italic,400,800,700,300”;
@import “http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans+Condensed:300”;
</style>
<!–[if lt IE 9]>
<style type=”text/css”>
@font-face {font-family: ‘Open Sans Extrabold’; src: url(‘http://www.transics.com/Fontface/OpenSans-ExtraBold.eot’); font-style: normal;}
@font-face {font-family: ‘Open Sans Light’; src: url(‘http://www.transics.com/Fontface/OpenSans-Light.eot’); font-style: normal;}
h1, h3 {font-family:”Open Sans Extrabold”;}
h2 {font-family:’Open Sans Light’;}
#menu-item-search {background: url(http://www.transics.com/images/template/Search_trigger02_A.gif) no-repeat center; text-indent: -9999px;}
</style>
<![endif]–>
This seems to solve the problem, but do let me know if there are probs with this.
Thanks anyway, Dude.
Ok, that did the trick. There is only one part missing in your code:
<!–[if lt IE 9]>
<style type=”text/css”>
#menu-item-search {background: url(http://www.transics.com/images/template/Search_trigger02_A.gif) no-repeat center; text-indent: -9999px;}
</style>
<![endif]–>
The <style> tag was not added. So just in case other people would find this useful, don’t forget to open and close the <style></style> tag around it.
Thanks, Dude!

I know, but isn’t it a lot of hassle trying to figure out where the wrong color has been applied? Links, highlights, buttons, backgrounds, icons, etc etc …
I use: #EF7C0B
It automatically replaces it by: #EF7D0B
So the C is changed to D, but it means an obvious difference when right next to a correct one.
I tried this, but for some reason it only works when I do remove the /9. Of course, as you said, this also makes newer browsers use the image.
Could it be that IE8 doesn’t understand the /9?
But indeed, I forgot the Styling section of the template where I can change both sections. I think that solves my issue. Thanks a lot and sorry for the misunderstanding!
Sorry for my unclear explanation, let me try to explain better:
In the Advanced Layout Builder you have Layout elements and then Content Section. When you edit the Content Section you have Main Content and Alternate Content, amongst others. The Main Content having a background color of #F8F8F8 and Alternate Content of #FFFFFF. I can just change the background-color css of both so that Main Content is #FFFFFF and Alternate Content is #F8F8F8, but the problem is that many elements within that Content Section have some different settings too.
For example some buttons and text are slightly darker in the Main Content section to keep up the contrast on that light gray background. If I just switch the background color, these other colors will not change with it, meaning that the darker colors of the Main Content will now seem even darker on the white background and the lighter text and button colors of the Alternate Content will now be much less visible on the light gray background.
So as to switch the styles as a whole I was wondering if there was a better way to switch the standard Content Section. I hope it’s clear now?
Please help!!
I may have explained it unclear. I basically need to duplicate “Portfolio items” in the wp menu a few times. Either I can create custom post types and add the necessary code(s) to make them work and look like the portfolio, or I duplicate the necessary portfolio files/codes and rename them into “Customers”, “Partners” and “Products”.
Important is that I also have to advanced layout builder.
This is extremely important in my case, so please give me your feedback.
An example of what I have already added as PHP, currently still as regular post types:
// Add new post type for Customers
add_action ('init', 'customers_init');
function customers_init()
{
$customer_labels = array(
'name' => _x('Customers', 'post type general name'),
'singular_name' => _x('Customer', 'post type singular name'),
'all_items' => __('All customers'),
'add_new' => _x('Add customer', 'customers'),
'add_new_item' => __('Add Customer'),
'edit_item' => __('Edit Customer'),
'new_item' => __('New Customer'),
'view_item' => __('View Customer'),
'search_items' => __('Search Customer'),
'not_found' => __('No customers found'),
'not_found_in_trash' => __('No customers found in Trash'),
'parent_item_colon' => ''
);
$args = array(
'labels' => $customer_labels,
'public' => true,
'publicly_queryable' => true,
'show_ui' => true,
'query_var' => true,
'rewrite' => true,
'capability_type' => 'post',
'hierarchical' => false,
'menu_position' => 5,
'supports' => array('title','thumbnail','editor'),
'has_archive' => 'customers'
);
register_post_type('customers',$args);
}
// Add custom taxonomies
add_action( 'init', 'create_taxonomies', 0);
function create_taxonomies()
{
// Customer type
$country_labels = array(
'name' => _x('Countries', 'taxonomy general name'),
'singular_name' => _x('Country', 'taxonomy singular name'),
'search_items' => __('Search countries'),
'all_items' => _x('All countries'),
'most_used_items' => null,
'parent_item' => null,
'parent_item_colon' => null,
'edit_item' => __('Edit Country'),
'update_items' => __('Update Country'),
'add_new_item' => __('Add country'),
'new_item_name' => __('New Country'),
'menu_name' => __('Countries')
);
register_taxonomy('customer-country', 'customers', array(
'hierarchical' => true,
'labels' => $country_labels,
'show_ui' => true,
'query_var' => true,
'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'customer-country' )
));
}I tested your site on Mac in Safari and Chrome but didn’t really see any choppy scrolling. What I did notice when viewing the original enfold demo on smartphone was that it was indeed choppy. I’m guessing the homepage slider may be the cause of this.
I’d suggest disabling the slider from the homepage and test it again. If the choppy scrolling is gone you could try adding a fresh slider (maybe it’s because of the multiple animations and images in the slider).
Just my thought ofc.
Then it pretty much misses the whole point of being a template. Creating a template, in my opinion, is not just about being able to quickly add the same information, but more about being able to change it once and have it updated wherever the info is shown.
There is also no way to find it behind the scenes? Directly in some code somewhere? I suppose it has to be written somewhere, so if I could find that and add any new category that way, it solves the problem.
Just tested it on my colleagues’ laptop and it seems a little better in normal IE8 view, but pretty much the same in Comp View. The search icon is OK on that laptop, while the slider icons are just plain squares, like mine.
Hello again,
I’ve taken some random screenshots from across your demo site, this is in IE8 Compatibility View. The difference between the view on or off is mostly the columns being forced to a new row, with the view off the other issues are still there such as missing icons etc. See the link below:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/aofspmzyyz8o6e5/T7Sf_S_oFf
So columns are forced to a new row, icons are missing, galleries are thousands of pixels high, some images are completely out of proportion, and so on.
Let me know if you would like any screenshots of specific areas/pages.
I wonder what could be the cause of this, and hope this is mainly my local browser and not how other people with IE8 see it.
Don’t get me wrong, I really love this theme. It would be a really big disappointment if I couldn’t use this theme because of that. Sadly enough, many of our visitors are still using IE8 (especially Comp View), so I have no other choice than to keep that optimized.
I’ll try to take some screenshots of your own demo to show you what I mean. This way we can already eliminate the option of something gone wrong when I set up the template.
Working well with the templates, yet I can’t seem to find how to modify existing templates. I was able to create a template, it even remembers the selected categories etc., I can add it anywhere I want, but no “edit” option to be found. Logically, if I edit the added items in a specific page, then it’s changed only for that page, not for all pages using that template.
So where can I find the option to edit the existing templates, please? Otherwise it’s of not much use (in case I want an extra category added)
I’m looking for the same solution! Separate portfolios with previous and next working only in the specific portfolio.
Will follow this topic to see if any solution becomes available.
Hello again,
I’ve tried it the way you suggested and it works like a charm. In the CMS, however, it’s a bit of a hassle as all items are unordered in the same list (hundreds of cutsomers, tens of partners, tens of products and tens of photographs). Not very structured.
But what I am most afraid of is that when I use the portfolio shortcode at the bottom of a different page, I will run into trouble when I add a new category. An example in a few steps:
1) I have literally hundreds of customers to add in the CMS. The list of customers has several different countries as categories. and,
2) At the bottom of every customer page I add the portfolio grid shortcode showing 4 other customers to trigger the visitor to check out those as well. I don’t want that to show product categories, so for each page I select which categories to show (only countries).
3) One day I get a customer in a country that hasn’t been added as category yet. This becomes the problem. I add the new country category and customer assigned to that category, but the new category will not show up on the hundreds of portfolio shortcodes in the customer detail pages, unless I change the hundreds of shortcodes to also show that new category.
So my question now would be: Can I make some kind of templates of the portfolio grid shortcodes so that I can add one template to the bottom of those pages and only have to change that template once to update it everywhere?
Another related question: Can I make the portfolio shortcode show a random 4 of the selected categories? At the moment it seems to show only the 4 most recently added. As there are hundreds, it would be sad to always show the same 4 customers untill there is a new one added.
Thanks in advance!
1) I’d love to see masonry added to the portfolio. This way I don’t have to make sure all my pictures have the same size, which in some cases doesn’t work well. It would also enhance the layout as it breaks the grid in a nice way. Hopefully others agree.
2) As I saw someone else request in a different topic for this theme, I would also like to request the ability to edit CSS from within WordPress (not just PHP) so there’s no need for Dreamweaver (or such tools). It’s easy for many reasons:
– No DW license needed, especially for clients expecting to edit the site themselves.
– Able to edit much of the site solely within WordPress, allowing to modify nearly the entire site even on mobile devices (again without extra tools).
– Quick access without having to change applications.
and so on …
