Hello Rikard,

Alright, let me be clear –

(1) you note that the featured image won’t ‘show if set in the sidebar. Yes, that was one problem I reported. Adding the image using an element is a work-around for a failed functionality. Of course that’s what I have resorted to, but I was hoping that you guys could fix the original functionality.
(2) I have never talked about excerpts. I see and understand the screen options tab, but that’s not what I have written about here. I’m not sure why you keep bringing it up.
(3) Most critically, as I have reported from early in this thread, the Blog Content Length option in the Blog Posts element DOES NOT WORK. That functionality appears broken on Enfold using the layout builder, and I don’t know what the manual command might be to show “full text” if using written commands in the block mode, because I don’t know where such commands may be found. I have described this earlier in the thread beginning on Feb 20.

Please answer the questions I am asking, if you can, so I can make the blog function work as it is supposed to.

Thanks

specifically, when I look at the text generated by the “blog post” in the pagebuilder, I see:

[av_blog blog_type='posts' categories='1' link='category' blog_style='single-big' bloglist_width='' columns='3' contents='excerpt' content_length='content' preview_mode='auto' image_size='portfolio' items='1' offset='0' paginate='yes' conditional='' av_uid='av-jsbabex4']

So if I wanted to “manually” fix this to show full content, what would I enter? It now says contents=’excerpt’ and content length=’content’ So what would I enter there to make it show the full text of the post, since the automation isn’t functioning?

Hi, this is over a week later, and in the meanwhile I’ve had everything updated to the newest versions, per your suggestions. The Avia Layout function is no longer invisible… but it also doesn’t seem to reliably work, so I’m back here again.

Specifically, Hi, I’ve recently decided to do a simple blog, and Enfold doesn’t seem to be working the way it’s supposed to.

(1) in the main blog page, the “featured image” doesn’t show up
and
(2) the “blog posts” content element doesn’t implement the “full text” of a post even when that box is clicked as a choice. Rather, it always shows a small piece with a “read more”, which isn’t the way I’d like to do it. I’d like to get it to work as designed. These are parts of Enfold’s functionality which led to our using it.

So any help will be appreciated; I’ll add a little private content so you can view what i tried to do:

Yes, I still need the original help requested, that the Avia page builder doesn’t work.
I’m not sure what’s not working for you; is it the log-in information? I just now logged into the site using the second password generated above; the user name and password is repeated below in the private content box.

I note that when logged in as that user, it only lists the main site and the bottleneck site, apparently I’d need to go through and add it to all the daughter themes… but try it out, the same problem should be manifest in all of them. The one I was trying to get to work was bottleneck foundation. Perhaps I needed to do something to give you access to all of the nested sites… as a super-admin? Not sure where to click to do that

but yeah, I still can’t make a new page

DAMN! I had send a support ticket to Dreamhost when the site was down, and apparently their technician has installed a DIFFERENT theme which doesn’t allow our website to show! I hope it can be recovered. Here’s what they said (and I emailed and asked them to undo it).: pasted in secure box below

See the private info below…. but basically while I was creating the admin log in for you, the thing crashed when I tried to save it and now the entire domain is invisible. Wha….?

same page, same link as above, must sign on using the passwords given. FlipperFund page. Currently turned back off. But really, try it yourself. Can you insert space between the header and the full-width layerslider in an enfold site? If so, how? I think the question, at least, is simple. We have been unable to so far.

Tried -1, that still leaves seemingly more than an entire inch of white space inserted. I need to be able to add fractional inches.

Quick question while I’m waiting for our web designer to input that code…

In the avia layout builder, there’s a “separator/whitespace” option in the content elements which I didn’t see in earlier versions of the theme, maybe it was just me.

However, I can’t get the thickness of the white space to go below about an inch, even with high negative numbers. What number corresponds to the smallest white space which can be inserted that way?

thanks

No, that’s not a workable solution I’m afraid. It is important that those menu items be VISIBLE for the navigation to work. Having it disappear entirely except for an obscure little box doesn’t cut it.

Is there any way for me to work around this other than tediously adding a strip of blank white to every image in every layerslider used? A way to pad it so the buttons stay visible on all computer browser sizes? Inserting a bit of white padding between menu and layerslider would seem the best bet. But we haven’t found a way.

How are you not seeing it after I just described it? Look at the buttons. Look at the dolphin picture, the buttons are overlapping it. Please count them, there are 8 menu buttons and some of them are inside the dolphin image. We need to allow the user to see them

Is there no way I can get tech support on this? The site is built on enfold but can’t go live while it’s screwing up this badly.
