Have you tried the same functionality with any other theme?

Hi swantonschool!

You can use a color section with the background set to fixed or parallax to get that kind of fixed image background effect. See: https://vimeo.com/channels/aviathemes/64927358

Hey!

Right now that is the intended behavior. The images scale automatically to their full height/width based on this rule in the base.css”

/* #Images
================================================== */

	img, a img {
		border:none;
		padding: 0;
		margin:0;
		display:inline-block;
		max-width: 100%;
		height:auto;
		width:auto;
		image-rendering: optimizeQuality;
	}

line 145-157. You can remove the height and width declarations to change it if you want.

The reasoning behind the rule is that images will automatically adapt for the responsive nature of the them. With WordPress 3.9 and the new visual editor image options it may not be needed anymore but its only come up a handful of times because of the themes Avia Layout Builder which lets you create your page layouts instead of the normal visual editor.

Hey liane!

The update check runs every 12 hours so maybe you are just updating within that window before the theme is aware of an update. Otherwise you can try checking your API key is correct.

Hey!

Can you elaborate on what you mean a bit more? I’m not sure what you mean just from that last sentence.

Hey churchstreetschool!

Make sure you are on version 2.7.1 of the Enfold theme. If you have any plugins active try deactivating them and then clear your browser cache since it could have the old TinyMCE files locally and they need to get redownloaded from your installation.

I’m not really sure why but I can’t get any implementation of the LayerSlider shortcode or functions to output. Its worth noting that their php example is invalid since its missing the closing ; .

Up until version 2.7 the shortcodes were disabled with the plugin but they are now enabled for regular usage. There really shouldn’t be any reason why they aren’t getting output by themselves.

I don’t have a stand alone version to test with unfortunately so I can’t say if its a LayerSlider issue or what.

Hi!

Where is a working example of what you have now where we can inspect what you have so far? I’m not completely clear on what you are trying to do but maybe seeing it in progress will help clear things up.

Hey!

You will need to talk to your hosting provider about correcting the permissions on your installation. Specifically your uploads folder isn’t able to be accessed publicly and in order for WordPress to work that needs to be changed.

Hi bendosda!

1) As far as I know its a must-have so that the isotope script can do its thing.
2) Try adding the following CSS to your Quick CSS (located under the Styling Tab in the theme options) or the custom.css file in the css folder of your theme files:

.avia_desktop .av-masonry-entry:hover .av-masonry-image-container {
-webkit-transform: scale(1.0,1.0);
-moz-transform: scale(1.0,1.0);
transform: scale(1.0,1.0);
}

3)

.html_header_top.html_bottom_nav_header .main_menu ul:first-child>li a {
    border: 0;
    border-left: 1px solid #fff;
}

This assumes the background of the nav bar is #fff . Change as needed.

4) You can remove the search option in the themes Header Layout editor and adjust via the available options. Anything outside of that would need to be customized by a freelance developer.

5+6) It can be done with a bit of custom css depending on the exact effect but as with #4 it would need to be done via a freelance developer as we aren’t able to cover customization here.

7) You can add a video element in a number of ways depending on the exact way you want it to be displayed. Just keep in mind most mobile browser will completely ignore auto play video settings now. The fullwidth slider element supports video as does just adding a youtube embed to a text block or code block.

If you are using a *child theme* then just adding in the same thing that is in the parent function doesn’t work. You need to use a function to tell the theme there is a replacement of that array: http://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/change-icon-used-for-standard-theme-elements/

Hi Katherine!

If you’ve added in your ThemeForest name and API to the theme options then it check for updates every 12 hours. ThemeForest however will send out an update email whenever the files have been updated on their server.

If you want to update right now manually you can watch this video on updating Enfold theme via FTP: https://vimeo.com/channels/aviathemes/67209750

Hey Katrin!

You can choose the image size that the grid will use from the options when you create the portfolio grid:

Just make sure to choose a size that gets cropped if you want the images cropped which you can check and change if you’d like with this plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-image-sizes/

Cheers!
Devin

Hi Robert!

You can change the image sizes for WooCommerce from their settings. Go to WooCommerce>Settings>Product tab and then “Product Image Sizes”.

You’ll need to regenerate the images with this plugin after any change: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/

Hey!

Then you will need to hire a freelance developer to make the customization to the way the breadcrumbs are generated.
