Hi Peter,
It works fine for posts in ALB. I cannot tell if it works for a post that I published with Default Editor as clicking into it shows a blank white screen (https://gatehealing.com/existential-dilemma-the-universe-vs-mud-pies/ This is a post that I saved in Default Editor and placed at the very end of my Blog Posts Page).
I am hoping to be able to use Default Editor with Magic Wand since excerpts are automatically created in Default Editor, but not in ALB. I am exploring that issue in another thread.

Victoria,
What I have done is add a post at the very bottom of my Blog Posts Page (“Existential Delimma….” that is created and saved in Default Editor. Currently, if you try to click into that post, it’s just a blank screen. I did just add the following code to my child theme functions.php to get social share icons at the bottom of each post:add_filter( ‘the_content’, ‘avia_add_social_share_bar’ );
function avia_add_social_share_bar( $content )
{
// Check if we’re inside the main loop in a single post page.
if ( is_single() && in_the_loop() && is_main_query() )
{
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;
This was from a different thread. It works great on posts created/saved in ALB, but since those in Default editor show blank screen, I don’t know if it works in those or not. Feel free to delete that code from functions.php in child theme to see if that helps.
Thanks Jordan,
I’ll see if that works. This really seems like something that would be good to add to the theme functionality. Ie when somebody has a pre-existing blog with lots of posts, it would be helpful to be able to just use default editor without the full post being truncated to an excerpt with Read More at the bottom (where when you click Read More, it just reloads the same excerpt). Or a checkbox that automatically adds the social share icons for posts in ALB (which they currently are . . .and I have the boxes checked in the Theme Options Blog Layout page, but I think that is only for if you use default editor? They certainly don’t show for me when ALB is used (as it is right now bc I cannot get the full blog post to show if I save in Default Editor.
Seems like something may be wrong because so many other features on this theme are extremely intuitive and work great–I’d think that the Blog Social Share check boxes feature would play well with the Enfold ALB editor, but it doesn’t seem to.

For now, although I am hoping to use default builder so excerpts are automatically created vs me manually creating 175 of them in ALB. I have tried to use default by copy/pasting into default from alb then resaving, but when I do that and click into the post itself, only the excerpt is shown. I have asked about this in another thread where the subject refers to another thread being marked as Read when I still had a question (the one I just mentioned) (I know now that my follow up I query may not be seen once thread is marked as Read).
Ok, now when I use the default editor, and I paste in the full article and save, it does show the excerpt on the Blog Posts Page, however, when I click into the full article, it still only shows the excerpt, not the full article.
Is that something I should change in functions.php? If yes, how?
J
Is there any functions.php alteration I can make so that I can just use the Default editor? My posts will not be heavy on elements. Just regular headings and content, and the idea of manually creating over 150 excerpts is rather daunting as compared to adding/subracting some code from functions.php and then using default editor.

Hi Victoria,
Thanks, I’m getting them answered as we go along in other threads. Wish I knew a lot more about the technical parts of this stuff!. This one is ok for now, though I may come back or start a new question should the ideas suggested not work out.
Thanks!
JonApologies for the extra questions. . . those were supposed to go in another thread that was left open for other ALB questions that might come up as I got things dialed in.
I am experimenting with getting blog dialed in, then will work on the category list thing via plugin.
Best,
JonI really appreciate the really fast responses.
Am I replacing the previous functions.php code with this new piece, or just adding the new piece after that last one?
EDIT: I have tried adding it and replacing it . . .now I get the full article on both, but neither shows the title when you click into the post itself. For now, I have added the “Header title and breadcrumbs” in Theme Options > Header. While I like breadcrumbs, they overlap the title on mobile for longer titled pages/posts.
I’ll start adding the 150 excerpts manually. Hopefully I can find a plugin that might be able to do that as I have over 150 posts to manually do that with. If you have suggestions, I’m open for sure. ***EDIT****: I just realized that if I leave the posts in Default view, the posts automatically have the excerpt shown. I’d leave them in default view if that didn’t cause the full post to not be visible upon clicking Read More. This seems like a nice option to develop, I just don’t know how complex it would be to allow excerpts to be automatically created in ALB and still have the full post be visible upon clicking into it.
Thanks again,
JonOk, new update: When I click Read More, the blog post shown is only the excerpt with no other posts on the page. Clicking REad More again only shows the same excerpt. The full article is never shown. Except on the articles that still do not show the full title. . . those show the full article, but not the title.
So currently, either I only see an excerpt wiht the Blog Post title upon clicking Read More, or I see the full article, but with no title upon clicking Read More.
I’ll leave one post of each type published.
J
*****EDIT***** Changing the posts to Default causes all content to vanish in the editor. And currently, on the Blog Posts page, the Why Men… article doesn’t show an excerpt, but does show whole article (with no title). I am getting more and more confused hereThanks Ismael,
Do I need to only use the Default editor for posts? I had noticed the difference and tried saving both posts in default editor, then both in ALB with same result. I must have changed one of them back to default when I re-published these.
I’ll start re-publishing my posts for viewing, but let me know if I am better to stay in one editor or the other (or if I can use ALB, but just save from Default editor).
Jon
I have set things up like this:
Settings > Reading > Homepage: Static Page: Counseling Austin and West Lake. . .
Settings > Reading > Posts Page: —Select— (ie I chose nothing from dropdown)
For each article in a feed, show: Full Text
Saved.Enfold Child Theme > Theme Options: Front Page Settings: Counseling Austin and West Lake…. (same as Settings > Reading)
Enfold Child Theme > Theme Options: And where do you want to display the Blog?: Blog (that’s my blog posts page name).
Saved.I then marked 2 of my Blog Posts as Published (“How to Beat Fear of Relationships and Intimacy” and “The Champion, Survivor, and Miracle Mind “). I cleared my caches and browser history.
Login creds are in private box from earlier. Remember, I completely deleted and recreated the How to Beat Fear … post (and permanently deleted the original version).
The How to Beat Fear . ..article simply shows “Read More” on the Blog Posts Page, and clicking into it, it does not show the title at the top.
The Champion, Survivor. . article shows the full article on the Blog Posts Page (right below the How to Beat. . . article) and DOES show the title when you click in to it.
I am beating my head against a wall trying to find the difference between these. I will leave them both published for a few hours so y’all can see what I am talking about . . . I don’t want to leave them up long though because the How to Beat . . . article might be confusing for Google bots since it does not show the title, and since the presentation of the articles is not uniform on the Posts Page. There are a few other articles that do the same thing as the How to Beat Fear. . . post, but they look identical to these 2 posts, so I won’t put them all up.

When you say to reset Settings > Reading to default, do you mean leave my front page as a Static Page (which is what it is) with that page selected in the dropdown, then have the posts page with nothing selected (which means the drop down shows —-Select—-). If so, that is how I have it set currently. . . or do you mean that I should also have my Front page set as undefined (drop down would show —-Select—-) and leave Front page set to Static page (since it is a static page).??
I believe you mean to leave Settings > Reading as Static Front Page (set to current homepage) and Posts Page set as null (—-Select—-),
AND set Enfold > Theme Options > Frontpage setting to current homepage and > Where to display Blog set as “Blog”I want to be sure I get this right.
Thanks
JonHey thanks Peter! i’ll play with those.
Guessing drop those in the Quick CSS box in General Styling?

JonI found how to shrink the burger menu lines, and that helped, but it still looks a bit cramped so I’d like to see how to works in header if code already exists. If it’s not already posted someplace, that’s ok, the smaller burger menu will suffice.

Hi Guenni007
Thanks! Private messages would have certainly helped. I figured it was the message not being seen bc y’all have responded so quickly before.
Glad we got it. So does a thread being marked as “Read” prevent y’all from seeing replies? I can see my replies, but that’s just on my computer and could be cookies showing stuff.
Just save the new code and it works perfectly! Thanks for all of your help!
Best,
JonI’m going to go ahead and start a new thread on this just in case my replies are not being seen. Please feel free to delete it should responses to my question about the customization code be placed here.
Oh, and can you confirm that you are seeing my replies? I’m not sure what the impact of this thread having been marked as “Read” has, but it may be that y’all are not seeing my replies.

Yes, I’ve been posting follow up questions for a few days now about the IconBox.php code provided by Guenni007 . . . the custom code on the webiste he referenced contains code for Horizontal white space, not head tags (the IconList code is perfect and works as it should. . .I think the wrong code got put in the file the IconBox.php button links to).https://webers-testseite.de/edited-enfold-alb-elements/ then scroll down to Iconbox and Icon-List with h-tag choice and click the IconBox button (link is: https://pastebin.com/dl/BRQizfDT ) . . . you’ll see that the code is for a different element.
I’m just hoping to get the correct code since the other code provided for the iconList element is great.
Thanks!
JonHi Ismael,
I have moved my blog back to another domain until I get a few things dialed in, but the post I am referring to is not deleted on this site, it (and all others–and I did find some others like this . . . . and the title doesn’t show up on some posts either) are in the drafts box.
Info follows in private box.
JonPS, I have marked my blog as “select blog page” in both WordPress settings and in the Enfold Child blog settings. I am guessing it’ll need to be changed to “Blog” to change the post I originally referred to Published and to be able to see it on my site.

Guenni007 and Rikard
Is this thread still open? I am hoping to get my header tags in good shape before google decides that I’m not very trustworthy because it doesn’t understand my hierarchy. If there’s actually not header tag code for iconbox, that’s ok, just let me know so I can alter accordingly.
Thanks y’all. . . I ask if it’s still open because I got an email that it had been marked as “read” by somebody and I don’t know if that means it’s basically closed. I’ll start a new thread later if I don’t hear back.
Thanks again for all the help and the new code. The iconlist code works great for those head tags!
Jon
I have changed the status of this post to Draft until I get it resolved.
MODS: Please let me know if you’d like to take a peek inside it and I’ll put login creds in private box.

JonThank you Peter! So simple, yet elusive to a newb!
Do I mark this thread as “solved” someplace?
Best
JonThanks Dude! I’m being told by some Google Webmaster Tools Search Console help forum that I need to get rid of all the markup other than the LocalBusiness markup that I put in myself. I seem to remember a setting someplace that turns off markup?
EDIT: Figured it out . . . looks like I didn’t need the code if I’m to turn off the generic code provided by the theme. I’ll leave the snippet in there though in case I need any of that code later.
Jon
