Thank you, Basilis!
Questions:
1. Will this process get rid of the photos used for Woo Commerce? I won’t use Woo Commerce.
2. For this line do I change the 11 to the number of photo sizes I end up with? add_action( ‘after_setup_theme’, ‘ava_image_sizes’, 11 );
3. After this, do I use Regenerate Thumbnails plugin to re-process all the photos in my media library and delete the ones not used, or do I use a different plugin?Thanks!!!!
RobHi Ismael,
Thank you for the response!Is there a way to do this without a plugin? Modify functions.php in my child theme? And are there additional sizes generated by Enfold for Woo Commerce?
Thanks!!
RobI had this same issue for quite a while. Have you updated Yoast to latest version? There’s a “redirect attachments” option that allows you to redirect them to your post page. I think the newest version of Yoast does that automatically.
Also, in your media library you have to make sure that your photos etc are actually attached to specific pages.
This should solve your problem:

RobSounds like WP Engine will upgrade us to 4.9.9 instead of 5.0.1 to address the security issues.
“WordPress Security Upgrade 5.0.1
Posted December 13th, 2018 11:59amMaintenance is active
WordPress today has issued a security release to WordPress core, which fixes a few bugs. You can read more about this in WordPress’ official release post. We will be updating all customers on the 5.0 through 3.7 branch to the latest version of their branch. Your installs will be updated to their latest secure version of their specific branch. 4.9.8 for instance, will be bumped to 4.9.9. Please take a look at our WordPress Upgrade article here for more information on our upgrade process.Because you are a WP Engine customer, you do not have to take action at this time. Our team is working to issue patches across the WP Engine platform to upgrade affected installs to their next stable version. We’ve got your back. As always, thank you for trusting WP Engine to host your WordPress sites. Automated maintenance updates like these are part of our promise to deliver a secure WordPress experience while ensuring the security of our customers.”
Are you using legacy staging on WP Engine? That one is throwing a lot of errors on the front end which support can fix in a matter of minutes. They told me it’s a known issue with legacy staging.
According to their page, they handle security updates differently. I had selected the “defer updates” button when WP 5 came out and we saw the issues.
“SECURITY/MAINTENANCE UPDATES
This type of update contains security or minor fixes that are pushed out to repair a vulnerability or bug in the WordPress core. We immediately investigate that the change doesn’t adversely affect our platform then push it out to our customer’s installs. We have found that the vast majority of installs that are adversely affected by security updates are ones that are using the vulnerability that is being closed. Because of this, we cannot defer security updates as this would keep your site and our platform vulnerable. Given the timeframe, site administrators will only be emailed on the same day as the upgrade occurs.”Full page here:
Having said this, the classic editor plugin seems to solve the issues I was having on ALB pages not loading, but the fact that there is an incompatibility makes me concerned to update to 5.0.1 until Enfold weighs in. I don’t think I will have a choice much longer according to WP Engine’s process.
Yes, that plugin fixes the problems! Mike, you might want to add that suggestion to the sticky. Much better than the “save and re-save” the page which didn’t work for me.
Cheers
RobThanks, Mike, it’s great to have a mod and development team on this. And thanks for the sticky!!!!
I hope it’s still Saturday and not Sunday or else I’m in big trouble! :)

RobThanks Mike. The solution from 007 is not working for me on pages that I had already opened to test… perhaps it only works the first time a page is opened? In any event I will wait for 4.5.2 before installing WP 5.0 on my production site. :)
“Edit: if you first – when you open an existing Enfold ALB Page goto “Save” : “Update” Button on the right top side – then the page will be as it should be – and the image of text-block element would not be this way above:”
I don’t see anyone here creating sides or blaming Kriesi. We all know WP 5.0 was rushed out, and I’m guessing that the Beta WP 5.0 that the Enfold coders tested on is different than the WP 5.0 that was released yesterday…. maybe just one little line of code threw the whole ALB off.
What does concern me is that the forums seem to be without mods today — on the first day of a major release. Just some “we are working on this, hang tight” would be welcomed at this point.
007 I see that workaround, and haven’t tried it… my site has many pages, and I also fear that if there’s a problem “under the hood of the car” that may appear to fix it while corrupting something else. I’m waiting for the mods / developers to weigh in on a fix, which should be 4.5.2….
It’s not urgent – just my staging site – but the number of threads is incredible.
Happy Holidays to you!

RobNope… it’s been 14 hours since I first posted about this and was the first to post about WP 5.0 and Enfold problems, and no response from mods.
A “We are aware of the issues with WordPress 5.0 and Enfold, and are working on a solution. In the meantime do not update your sites to WordPress 5.0” would be an easy sticky to add.
Everyone does…. I posted this last night…. Amazed that Enfold support is silent on this as thread after thread is posted… this should be a sticky, and they should stop everyone from updating to WordPress 5.0 until this is sorted out.
I would have them revert you to WordPress 4.9.3 if you have a site due today to the client… and dump Go Daddy, terrible service. They caused me nothing but problems. Constantly. WP Engine would never migrate you to a non-security release of WP the day after it’s released. Only the brave move to 5.0 without a lot of testing on a staging site.
I just updated from the dashboard (automatically) on my staging site from 4.5 to 4.5.1 and it worked fine. Hosting is WP Engine.
Since I’m on Enfold 4.5 and WP Engine too, I thought I would add that you can go into the admin panel on WP Engine and quickly change php version to see if the site crashes. If it crashes, you can quickly toggle back to the older PHP versin. I did this while support was on the line (on chat) in case something went wrong, and it worked great. Hope that helps.
My site works fine with the WP Engine preview of 7.2 and is on latest Enfold version… I am afraid to update though until mods / developers confirm that Enfold is compatible with 7.2.
(I assume you have tried disabling all plugins and then running the WP Engine emulator?)
haha yes I totally get it… but when i installed minification plugins they work for all plugins, not just certain ones….
Maybe something to flag with coders for future development?
Enjoy your coffee! :)
Hi Ismael,
I’m not a coder, though I am flattered you think I can do the above… the only filter I use is a coffee filter! haha
It seems like if Enfold is going to claim minification, the theme should minify all plugins, not just a list. And we should not need to customize code for the minification option to work since minification plugins don’t require a list of plugins.
Where do we go from here? :)
Hi Ismael,
Is this something that you and the Enfold team might continue to work on, since if it’s affecting me it’s probably affecting others?
Many thanks,
RobIt appears an Enfold mod logged in using the credentials a day or two ago but I don’t see an update on this thread…?
Ismael, haha!!! Unfortunately the compression settings don’t seem to be working….opened new thread in case you want to tackle it! :)
As a long-time Enfolder I just have to say this…
Why don’t mods create sticky about the update to 4.5 since there are so many threads on this? Title could be “Instructions on How to Update to Version 4.5”
Cheers
RobI installed plugin Smart Silder 3 pro and video works like a charm with Enfold on mobile:
