I also can’t find the burger menu settings… is it supposed to show up under the “header layout” tab?
It sounds to me like Enfold is set up correctly and that the problem might be back in the Google API interface where you got the key.
Did you specify your website when you got the key or just leave it blank? If you specified a website, try deleting that and waiting 20 mins to see if the key works. If that doesn’t work, try getting a new key without specifying a website for the key, input that new key and wait 10 mins to see if it works. If none of that works, suggest you post a screenshot of the google api interface / key here so they can take a look at it. (all of this is based on my own experience / troubles getting this to work originally).Good luck!
I worked on #1 above some more and found the below code on the forum, which has helped but has not solved the issue with the secondary menu at the very top (where the social icons are):
/*transparent header*/
.header_color .header_bg{background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.9);}
#top .av_header_glassy.av_header_transparency #header_main {
background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.7);
}Link to staging site included in private content area pasted below so you can see the results of what I’ve done so far.
As for #2, I don’t know where to begin so will definitely need help on that.
Have a good weekend and thanks again!
Sorry… for some reason the links didn’t come through??
Here’s my homepage:

Here’s the website I’m trying to copy:
Hoping the links work this time…
Just jumping in as I had this same experience a bit ago….
Your mobile menu is messed up on my iPhone using Safari…. I would put the Facebook issue aside momentarily and fix that first and see if that resolves your issues with Facebook. My mobile menu looked like this a few versions of Enfold ago, then I updated Enfold and it fixed it. Are you running 3.7.1?
Hey… I got sidetracked and have not added a Mailchimp plugin yet… I keep hoping Kriesi will fix this issue…..
I think Mailchimp has an official plugin, don’t they? Huge bummer that this has gone on for months without resolution…. :(
Laughing at myself… why didn’t I think of that?!? Ha ha thank you, that’s great!!!
Have a good night.I read your note and went running over to theme options… I don’t see an “enable lazy load” box – where can I find it?
The “show a preloader when opening a page on your site” is different than lazy loading, which loads a page immediately that a user can see without loading the elements “below the fold”… then it loads them as the user scrolls down. This reduces initial page load time.
You probably already know this…but just in case others are reading and wondering what in the world lazy loading is.
If there’s an ability to enable it for the theme that would be great, thanks!
Ha! Perhaps my web hosting service was just having a bad day. There is still a delay when maps loads but it’s not as bad as the first day I entered the API key.
I do think “lazy load” is something the developers should consider to reduce impact to page speed times. Page speed is becoming more and more important both from a user experience and a SEO ranking perspective so I hope that’s something the devs are thinking about as they further enhance this wonderful theme.
Thank you again
Hi Yigit,
When I posted that, I was running 3.7 but then updated 3.7.1 when it came out. I didn’t see a change version / log in the “what’s new” post so I’m not sure what 3.7.1 fixed…. it does indeed seem better than in 3.7….was that why 3.7.1 was released?Thanks!!
Rob
PS I just renewed another 6 months of support with you guys…. thanks for everything.
Preview mode shows the entire article…but once you post it, your blog page will show just the excerpt prior to the “read more” tag.. at least that’s my experience.
Well gee thanks guys, I had never noticed that “annoying gap” before but now I can’t stop looking at it!
:)
Vinay, nevermind above, I added the code to functions.php and see that it will indeed allow me to select this only on certain pages / elements.
I don’t know css at all so it’s just like looking at letters to me, so forgive my continued questions… I’m a newbie on this.
In the Enfold link / tutorial from Yigit it says to give the custom class a special name prefixed with initials, so are we creating two custom classes, one called “.only_mobile” and one called “.only_desktop”?
And then once I add the code to the custom css file, how do I make the element display only on mobile? Do I just type in “.only_mobile” in the custom css class field of the element?
Thanks!!!!!
Thank you, Vinay! And this will allow me to only do this on one page of my site with one element, not the entire site, correct?
Dear Yigit, that also works… to leave it blank, although it gives this scary error on the API console about any domain being able to use the key, probably a bigger issue for keys that are paid. (I wonder if down the road Google plans to charge for use of their mapping service…. hmm… interesting change they have made that would enable that.)
Main production site is now working with domain field as blank…. I think this one is solved. Thank you for your help and hope this thread helps someone else who makes the same mistake I did.
Yigit see response above… I had not entered my website with the wildcard… working fine now that I have updated API key with wildcard (*)… thanks!!!
Sorry to trouble…
I figured this out!
On the google site, the website needs to be entered with the wildcard so that every page on the website works…
so for example, http://www.thomashenthorne.com will cause crash… but http://www.thomashenthorne.com/* will make all pages on website use API key.
Does that make sense? You might want to modify instructions in case others make the same mistake.. you have to enter your website with a slash and the “*” wildcard to enable API key on all pages of site.
I’m going to give you admin credentials for my staging site so you can perhaps see what’s going on there… thanks!
My dear Yigit… you may have missed this in my original post… but that’s exactly the post I followed / steps I followed…
I input the API key into the staging site, cleared browser / flushed cache, and problem exists….. API Key is already input but that did not solve problem on staging site.
So………. what next? ;)
I am seeing all these threads about Google maps not working… it’s still working on my site, but based on these threads, should I expect it to break soon? I’m worried….
Agreed. I hate to add another plugin to my site and further slow it down, but looks like I will have to do so.
Thank you Yigit!!!
So if I want to turn off all the titles on all the sliders I just use your original code in my original post, right? I don’t ever want to have text slide titles / alt tags popup over the photos…. not sure why anyone would? But just want to make sure I am clear before I start making mods to my site.
Now about that Mailchimp…. ;)
Thanks!!!
Rob
Weeks later and no action… I’ve deleted admin account and guess I’ll just use the mailchimp plugin since the Enfold integration is not working for me and other users. Too bad. If you decide you want to work on this and would like to use my staging site to investigate why it’s not working for me and other users please let me know.
Rob
I offered to provide resources to help you guys fix this on June 16th…. I’m not crazy about having my admin credentials / mailchimp login etc out there indefinitely. Is this in the queue? I assume this is something you want to address since its affecting multiple users.
Thanks!
