It’s an interesting dilemma… there are recommendations but no firm standards, and lawsuits are being file against websites for not adhering to these grey areas. Some websites are paying $50 a month for these accessibility overlays but there are guarantees even at $1000 or more a year. I do like that this plugin adds some options like larger fonts and higher contrast that should help low vision visitors to the site. I am definitely open to suggestions and hope this is now on Enfold’s radar.
I just installed the plugin called “One Click Accessibility” and it’s extremely easy to use and looks great. It took me about 5 mins to install and customize it, and it works well on both mobile and desktop.
If you want to see it in action, go to:
I want to jump in on this topic — in the USA, many sites are being sued for ADA compliance now including friends who are going through this right now. This is like GDPR in the EU in terms of importance… absolutely essential that we address immediately. And on top of that… it’s the right thing to do for our differently-abled friends. I am hoping the mods / Gunter / etc can discuss this important topic, and I’m glad to see this here on the Enfold forum.
Thanks
RobOh wow, thanks Mike… any chance devs are working on an element for this so we don’t have to do custom code?
And how does this solution perform on mobile?Much appreciated!
Thanks,
RobWhile this does fix the contact form, it does appear there is a responsive bug within that element… when I place other things in there, they break on small screens.
I have been using Enfold since what 2013 and never saw that I can list elements alphabetically! Thanks!!
OK to close ticket.
Thanks again
RobThanks Yigit!
I notice a new update came out today… does that fix the issue with the accordion element or should I add this css?Also while we are talking elements, one little easy suggestion for Gunter… now that there are so many elements in ALB (yay!), would it be possible to alphabetize the lists of elements especially under “content elements” to help find them quicker? :)
Thanks!
RobHi Ismael thanks for the response!
The issue only happens on mobile and the “break point” where the issue occurs is at 400 px on Chrome Developer Tools… so if you go into CDT and narrow the view screen to 400 px, it will do it.
Or in Firefox, go into Responsive Design Mode and it looks like attached screen shot. The elements work fine (responsive) when not in accordion element.Thanks much,
Rob
Thanks all… this one’s not a burning issue for me and I’m swamped with work so will wait to enable until after it’s out of beta… just wanted to let you know there was an issue. Fine to close thread. Thanks!
Here, Max, let me fix your response for you:
“Yigit, thanks for the prompt reply just 30 mins after I posted my question. No, I haven’t tried Masonry Gallery, but sounds like that’s the best option so I will give that a try now. Can you confirm it will work with linked titles?”
It’s a tough year for everyone and let’s try to spread some kindness instead of more pain, especially to those who are trying to help us.
Rob
Thanks Yigit!
In the meantime I went ahead and changed default for the site to “no sidebars” and then added them to pages where I need them… that seems to be working… but I am going to save this thread in case I need to go back to a different approach.
Is it possible to leave this thread open for a little while in case?Thanks!
RobThanks for the response, Yigit! I tried that and it does make a change but we still end up with a blank sidebar.
Easier to show you than try to explain.
Here is a page using the default template:
And here is that same page after switching to the template with the “show sidebar” commented out:
As you can see from the second image where the show sidebar is commented out, the sidebar shifts to the left and leaves a big blank space on the right.
Any additional ideas? I have also tried using the “archives” template which appears in my dropdown menu and turning off sidebar for archives, but sidebar also appears there even when turned off.Thanks,
RobFixed it… it was my Cloudflare cache which never causes problems but for some reason Cloudflare was struggling with this one.
I cleared the cache and now the correct (new) icon is showing.OK to close this thread, thanks
I tried that, also tried deleting all old CSS files on that same performance page…. also tried adding Youtube as a new item at the bottom…. the new item was also blank.
Hoping a mod can jump in at some point here…
Actually on yours it is now displaying. Maybe a caching issue?
On my site, it was blank, and now it’s displaying an icon I don’t recognize (not Youtube)… I tried changing it to Venmo, saved, and then switched back to Youtube, but the strange icon is till there.
Bug?
Adding all my quick CSS from over the years in case any of this is impacting the youtube icon… (see private content)
Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but ou can add photos the to mega menu as on this Enfold site:
http://www.thomashenthorne.com
To do it you create a new menu item under the parent menu item and and check “use the description to create a text block” and then in the text block you paste the html for the photo such as:
<a href="https://www.thomashenthorne.com/101-chula-vista-drive-san-rafael/"><img src="https://www.thomashenthorne.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/101-Chula-Vista-46-of-46-180x180.jpg" alt="101 Chula Vista Drive San Rafael front door" width="180" height="180" /></a>Hope this helps!
That works great, thank you!
At some point Gunter might want to add this option in the buttons element.. it would be great to have some different button options.
Thanks again!!
RobHi Yigit! thank you! As always you are a genius. That fixed it.
Is this solved via a future theme update or is this something I need to inform plugin author or both?
Thanks again!!!
Rob
PS While I am here, I notice the support forum loading is taking longer and longer… I wonder if it’s running into a database size issue? I have noticed this for a few months now where it says “connecting” for a few seconds and then finally loads… in the past it would load almost instantly. Just FYI, no big deal for me but thought I would let you know in case something is getting ready to break.
Hi Yigit! Good to hear from you. That works perfectly! Thank you!
Here’s the page where I added a little animation just in case you’re curious:
Have a great day,
Rob
We really need to get this video element updated to have full screen / lightbox… paging Gunter….. :)
As a workaround, does the video element in the WordPress block editor offer this functionality?
Hi Günter!
Thanks for your response – good to hear from you.
I have read your response several times and I think I am understanding. Right now under advanced developer options lazy load is turned off for masonry gallery on that page (by default, and I have left it off) but by turning on lazy load in jetpack I am overriding that. For now I will leave it off in Jetpack and wait for future updates from Enfold as you work through the issue. It’s not critical at this time for me as it’s just lazy loading and the site works fine with it turned off. I am glad this issue is on your “radar.”
OK to close thread.
Thanks,
RobHi Nikko,
Is this a bug in Enfold that will be corrected in a future release? Current release notes mention compatibility for lazy load so I thought this was addressed.
I don’t do coding and haven’t modified the child theme in many years, and am concerned that mods become problems in the future. I would rather wait for an update to Enfold and would hope this could be flagged to Gunter.Thanks,
Rob
