can you remind me how to get a screenshot up here? I have the screenshot.

That top code did it. And it works with pagination.

Thanks!
Jon

Thanks Mike,
Reading through that documentation to get this fully set up since the code itself didn’t do it.

I’ll check back once I’ve got it dialed in.

What is the consequence of changing it to 655? Will I need to change it back to 777 if I update child css, or when I update the theme, etc?

Thanks,
Jon

Ah. It wasn’t marked as 4.5, so I didn’t know what I would have downloaded since all I could see was Enfold thumbnail and ‘Installable files only’ in the downloads list (no reference to 4.5). Now I know where to look to confirm the version I’m downloading for future updates.

I’m off to try the plugin now. Hope Themeforest fixes whatever happened.

Thanks!
Jon

Thanks Mike,
I’ll give the plugin a try, backing up first.

If it doesn’t work, I’ll stop back by.

Thanks
Jon

Hi Mike,

Regarding the API, following the directions for how to update LayerSlider, it refers to updating the theme. . . so I went to Theme Updates where I am directed to get an API key. At the bottom of that page, it states that updates will be automatically checked for every 12 hours, so I am hoping that there is an update for the theme that will include the LayerSlider update . . . and that this will happen automatically per the Theme Updates page in Enfold that I referred to as per How to Update LayerSlider that references updating the theme to update layerslider.

I have my username and API for my enfold updates saved, so I think whenever y’all do another update, I should have the newest version.

Thanks!
Jon

I’m asking if the API key I got from the “How to update LayerSlider” link should be pasted into the “child” theme box for Enfold updates, which should update LayerSlider when Enfold is updated.

Thanks
J

Well, I tried deleteing the following from functions.php (and individual blocks):

function change_blog_archive_style() {
global $avia_config;
if( !empty($avia_config[‘conditionals’][‘is_builder’]) ) $avia_config[‘blog_content’] = “excerpt_read_more”;
}
add_action(‘get_header’, ‘change_blog_archive_style’);
function ava_blog_read_more() {
global $avia_config;
if(!is_single()) $avia_config[‘blog_content’] = “excerpt_read_more”;
}
add_action(‘get_header’, ‘ava_blog_read_more’);

add_filter( ‘the_content’, ‘avia_add_social_share_bar’ );
function avia_add_social_share_bar( $content )
{
global $avia_config;

// Check if we’re inside the main loop in a single post page.
if ( is_single() && in_the_loop() && is_main_query() && !empty($avia_config[‘conditionals’][‘is_builder’]) )
{
return $content . do_shortcode(“[av_social_share title='Share this entry' style='' buttons='' share_facebook='' share_twitter='' share_pinterest='' share_gplus='' share_reddit='' share_linkedin='' share_tumblr='' share_vk='' share_mail='' av-desktop-hide='' av-medium-hide='' av-small-hide='' av-mini-hide='']“);
}

return $content;
}

Yeah, I posted a question on their support forum the same day as I did y’all and still have yet to hear from them. I may just have to use the related posts element if I am going to do this. Apparently important for SEO to having links back and forth (like a wheel and spokes was the metaphor) between the blog post and other posts in the same category. Prob not a huge thing though.

Thanks for looking it over for me.

Thx for the note too. Not sure how to fix that, but I’ll ask around about how to find it.

Jon

Sure. It’s there now

The orig thread was marked as read, so I had to start a new one (titled Other Thread Marked as Read….)

Apologies if I didn’t make this clear previously. On the BlogPost Page that shows excerpts of all posts…the index, if you will…all of those are created/saved in ALB editor and work fine, EXCEPT the very last post, titled “Existential Dilemma:…” which was created/saved with Default editor…this one does not show the full
Post when you click Read More. It goes to its own page (with no other posts) but only shows the excerpt with Read More at the bottom.

I created/saved Existential Dilemma in default editor as a test because I want to use the Default Editor since it automatically creates the excerpt and ALB does not.

To show this more clearly, I have done this:
1) In the 1st post (“How to Beat Fear of Intimacy”) that is in ALB, I deleted the manually created excerpt. You can see on the blog posts page (the index of posts) there is now no excerpt. When you click Read More, you’ll see the full article. EDIT: Now, after redacting it without the manual excerpt, this post shows a blank white page (I just saved 2 spaces in the manual excerpt box so visitors people can still see it).

2) on the very last post (“Existenial Dilemma”) that is in Default editor, there is no manually created excerpt either, but you’ll see the auto created excerpt is present on the blog post page (index of posts); however when you click Read More (again, the very last blog post on the index page) you’ll notice that it goes to a new page, but only the excerpt is there with Read More at the end (just no index of other posts isnon that page). https://gatehealing.com/existential-dilemma-the-universe-vs-mud-pies/

If I could attach a screen shot, I would. This happens after clearing all caches and history, and in Firefox and Chrome.

If y’all are seeing the entire Existebtial Dilemma post upon clicking Read more, then my iPhone and MacBook Pro and iMac have gremlins and are not showing the full post.

Please let me know if you are seeing the entire Existential Delimma post, which should be 6 paragraphs.

while that does put the social icons at the bottom of the screen that comes up upon clicking into that Existential Dilemma post (last post on list. . . created/saved in Default Editor), the problem persists that when you click Read More, it just takes you to a screen with the excerpt and Read More again . . . but there are just no other posts on the screen….just the excerpt from the Existential Dilemma post.

Is this something I can fix?

Jon
