Upgraded to 4.6.2 and had the problem of authenticating the keys… so happy I found this thread — performing the activity in incognito mode fixed it.
Hi KEL, do you have Go Daddy hosting? If so, switch immediately to someone else like WP Engine. They are horrible.
Either way, this sounds like an issue you should discuss with your hosting service. It’s a server capacity issue, not an Enfold issue (whew!)I used to have issues like that all the time when I had Go Daddy…. since I switched….zero issues. Worth it.
(I have no connection to Wp Engine, there are many great hosting services out there and almost all are better than GD)It happens all the time… likely your issue is (a) a conflicting plugin or (b) a corrupted Enfold install where some files were not written over. Also check your php version to make sure it’s above 7.0.
Did you update via FTP or via the “update” function on the backend? I would backup, then delete the Enfold theme folder (or rename them) and then upload fresh copy.I would do this AFTER disabling all plugins to see if there is a plugin conflict. Note that Michael and I are not mods, just longtime Enfold users that sometimes help out until the mods have a chance.
Now that this function has been added to the latest Enfold 4.5.7, is it possible to set a custom screen size to break? I would like to switch to Burger at 1300 px, not at 990 px, which is the option in the new dropdown menu.
Thanks,
Rob2019 May 10th – Version 4.5.7
– added: option to switch to burger menu on different screen sizes in Fullwidth Submenu elementWith WP Engine you can restore backups from the past 30 days from the WP Engine site (not backend). You go to https://my.wpengine.com/installs/ and then select backup points. You could then restore a backup from before the update and see if site comes back up. There are detailed instructions in the Enfold documentation on how to update via FTP if you need them.
Good luck!
Hi,
Thanks for the offer – currently that site is out of date as I am working on an issue with a plugin author and need to keep it frozen to several weeks ago.
If you were to do that, the changes would need to be reapplied before next update right?
Actually, I solved it by disabling the performance options on Enfold (which, respectfully, never really worked for my site anyway) and going back to a performance plugin that I love (Fast Velocity Minify).
Hoping you are working on some great new features for us in upcoming releases Günter! :)
Thanks,
RobHi this is beyond my capability… not sure why this one file is popping up with css optimization is turned on. I wonder if it’s happening with other Enfold sites?
I don’t think the css optimization works anyway from what I have seen when I click ctrl-u on my site. I don’t see it compressed.
At this point I’ll just turn off css optimization item on Enfold performance settings.
Thanks
You got it! When I enable CSS compression under Enfold performance tab, the 404 error above starts… if I disable, it goes away.
Is this a bug with css compression? Well done on figuring this out!
Thanks,
RobHi Mike,
WP Engine puts them both on the same server, but has caching on the production side that’s not on the staging side. I’m not sure what other differences there might be.I didn’t see this in functions or header.
I’ll leave admin login credentials for staging side in private content.
Thanks,
RobThanks for the response! Geoblocking is turned off. I input the code on staging site and it looks like there are two burger menus? See link in private content.
Hi Mike, thanks for your response!
Interesting!
No, the staging site is not doing this (in private content).Caching cannot be disabled as it is server side mandated by WP Engine, but I can exclude certain cookies and subdirectories.
What would you suggest I try?
Thanks much!
RobHi there,
Sorry for delay in responding – we had a death in the family.
You can check it out here:
and it looks like it starts wrapping under 1350 pixels when I look at it on developer tools on Chrome.
Thanks!
RobThe above code, pasted into the Optima Express configuration “css override” does indeed fix the issue with Enfold / Optima Express.
OK to close this ticket… maybe it will help another Enfolder in the future.Cheers
RobI had a similar issue though without the CPU problems… (I have WP Engine, and they are amazing, zero regrets switching to them).
I was able to reduce the storage used on my site by 50%.
Good luck!
RobHi Günter!
Thanks for checking. It’s not a big deal — I just go into classic editor and select the photo size that I use most often, then Avia remembers it until I choose a different size in Classic.
I’m 99% sure that Avia used to “remember” the last photo size selected. I think it changed during one of the major revisions where the mobile menu functionality changed… maybe around 3.0? It’s been like this for at least 1.5-2.5 years.
Thanks again! OK to close thread.
Cheers
RobPaging @Guenter… ;)
Hi Victoria and happy 2019!
Yes I was blocking locations to reduce bots… blocking is turned off except for China now. Let me know please if you need China opened as well.Best,
RobI do not have lazy loading enabled and am still seeing this behavior on Masonry after the last update, even with animation turned off.
It seems like you have to scroll past the masonry and to get it to “fire”…Sure thing, Rikard, hope it helps someone else. And maybe Gunter can work on this option for a future version of Enfold? :)
Hi Gitte, I saw that button and used it on Simple Image Sizes Plugin to re-generate thumbnails, but after it ran I checked via SFTP and all the old ones were still there. It was not until I used the “Regenerate Thumbnails” plugin that the old ones were deleted. Perhaps this is unique to my server environment on WP Engine but I’m just glad to have the disk space cleaned up.
Thanks for your help!
OK… I gave up on using the functions.php and installed the plugins…. and I’ve reduced the storage used on my site by 50% from 9 GB to 4.5 GB with zero impact on the site itself. I DO THINK that Enfold should add this to the theme options… it’s ridiculous to save 15 files for every photo if you only need a few of them… wastes lots of space.
For anyone else searching for this or needing to do this in the future, download:
– Regenerate Thumbnails plugin
– Simple Image Sizes PluginUse Simple Image Sizes (SIS) to select which photo sizes you want to use on your site (See Gitte’s screenshots above for how to do it), then use Regenerate Thumbnails and select ” Delete thumbnail files for old unregistered sizes in order to free up server space. This may result in broken images in your posts and pages”
BE SURE TO MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR ENTIRE SITE BEFORE YOU BEGIN THIS PROCESS
Thanks all for your help!! I am surprised this isn’t a more common request on this forum.
RobThanks Gitte, and then to re-generate the older media files already uploaded, do you use regenerate thumbnails plugin?
I’m a bit concerned that the plugin you are recommending has not been updated in a long time and has not be certified to be compatible with WP 5.0…?This code seems to keep all the thumbnails except the shop thumbnails when I upload… so after I installed the code in functions.php in my child theme, I uploaded a photo, and there are still 12 files (versus the original 15 at the top of this thread).
I would imagine others will have this request if and when they start running up against their own 10 GB server storage limits. Can we figure this out please?
Thanks,
Rob
