Hi nicholaso
Yes, fortunately it still seems to be working fine for me.
I hope you can track down and overcome your problem soon – I know how frustrating it is.Best of luck!
Hi Rikard
The problem now appears to be fixed.
Deleting the LayerSlider, saving then reinstating it made no difference. (I tried this on a duplicate page first, but I had to update a plugin to do this.)
Next, I had a look at the caching options and while doing so I noticed that for some reason the Enfold “Theme Options” dropdowns are now working again. I have no idea what caused that as I’ve made no other changes other than updating the one plugin.
After that, I then disabled the Autoptimize plugin (this was a legacy installation and not one of mine). With every change, I refresh to see if there’s any difference – and after deactivating Autoptimize both LayerSliders started working again, so I was very happy about that. Out of curiosity, I updated the plugin and activated it again, but the LayerSliders still seem to be working.I’ll cautiously go through the rest of the plugins, updating and testing. Meanwhile, I had also created WP admin user access for you, but I reckon that’ll hopefully no longer be required, but I’ll keep it just in case :-)
It seems GoDaddy’s forced WP and system updates are destined to highlight incompatibilities whenever they arise, so I’ll just need my client to be aware of it.
Thanks very much for your time and suggestions Rikard!
Hi Rikard
Unfortunately, updating the theme to v4.8.2 doesn’t seem to have made any difference, the Layersliders are still not visible (but the underlying code still is). Note, in the Enfold “Theme Options” section, the dropdown options don’t work after that update for some reason.
Thanks
Hi Victoria
Thanks for getting back to me.
I did some more troubleshooting last night and I’ve established a workaround. Which is presumably why you might not be seeing the problem – which is good! I’ve also had word back from my client that the problem appears to be fixed for her too. So I’m pleased about that too.The fix for me, was to add the following to the General Styling > Quick CSS panel:
.avia_mega_menu_columns_first { padding-left: 15px !important; }
.avia_mega_menu_columns_last { padding-right: 15px !important; }Additional Note:
In earlier development, in order to get consistent column widths in the mega menu, I had previously added:
li.avia_mega_menu_columns_5 { width: 20% !important; }Now, both of these changes, appear to have given me what I want.
Hopefully, they will help other people too, if they’re experiencing similar issues.Victoria, if you still want to see screenshots let me know, but perhaps there’s no longer any need.
Thanks very much for offering to help.
Thanks Victoria
I know that’s what ought to be possible, but I couldn’t get to that stage because of the spinning icon. It’s actually the second point I raised that has turned-out to be the key factor in the problem I was experiencing, but perhaps both yourself and Basilis overlooked the importance of it, as I didn’t get any suggestions on how to overcome the perpetually spinning icon in the area that I would normally expect to add Advanced Layout Editor components to.
In case anyone else encounters a similar problem, here’s the solution that worked for me…
Problem: The page I’d created to display blog posts was not allowing Advanced Layout Editor to load properly.
Solution: As soon as I deselected it as the Blog page (and it became a ‘standard’ page), the Advanced Layout Editor was able to work normally (with no spinning icon). I was then able to configure it by adding the blog post element. Once I’d saved the changes, I then selected once again for this page to display the blog and everything worked properly. Thereafter, I was able to go back in to edit the blog page and the Advanced Layout Editor was still working.
Conclusion: In my setup anyway, it would seem there was a conflict somewhere that required my proposed blog page to be configured with Advanced Layout Editor before actually selecting it as the blog page within the Enfold/WordPress settings.Hopefully, I’ve described that clearly enough, but if anyone who encounters a similar problem needs more information, just ask.
Hi Basilis
Sorry for my late reply, I’ve only just discovered your email notification in my junk mail!
Can you point me in the direction of where you’re seeing the “selected category” in the Blog view?
(I don’t “blog” personally, so please excuse my unfamiliarity with what’s what.)
I don’t see anything in the theme settings for category.
Nor do I see anything in the blog layout settings for category.
And as for the chosen blog page itself, I seem not to have much control of it at all (see the second problem mentioned above re. the perpetually spinning icon when trying to use the Advanced Layout Editor.)
My basic test post was ‘uncategorised’ and I haven’t created any categories either, so I’m puzzled as to why, or even where, a category could be selected. If I’m missing something obvious (which is entirely possible :-) do let me know.So, at the moment, I’m still stuck with my two original problems.
Thanks
Hi Rikard
Thanks for responding.
Yes, I had previously been using the Custom 404 Page – and it is one of the things I’d turned-off in my troubleshooting. However, because I’ve also been making so many other changes in my troubleshooting it’s hard at the moment for me to isolate the cause to just one thing. Also, I think it may have taken time for Google to have responded to any of those changes, which didn’t help.
The good thing is that something somewhere has indeed made a difference, and in Google Search Console this morning I could see that the Home page had now been crawled, but not indexed – and there was a link to do that. I clicked it and upon doing a site: search in Google I could see it had now been included. Better still, on then doing a search for the page’s main keyphrase, it appeared in No: 3 in the search results, so I’m very happy about that.
From your experience, if you think the Custom 404 Page can cause 5xx errors I’ll keep it in mind for the future.
It would be a pity though, because it’s otherwise a useful feature.Thanks again!
Hi Yigit
I have a similar requirement to have popups working from links and buttons.
I got the links to work okay, but you didn’t actually show what you added to the existing code in functions.php to make buttons work.The code I have at the moment is:
function popup_inline() { ?> <script type="text/javascript"> jQuery(window).load(function(){ jQuery('.open-popup-link').magnificPopup({ type:'inline', midClick: true // Allow opening popup on middle mouse click. Always set it to true if you don't provide alternative source in href. }); }); </script> <?php } add_action('wp_head', 'popup_inline');Could you please show how the button code should be added?
Many thanks
Thanks Josue
There is certainly a huge choice of transitions, but I typically prefer a simple distraction-free crossfade (No. 5). So given the complexity of what else is on offer it makes it all the more surprising that the developers haven’t made transition timing more readily adjustable.
At first, the Transition Builder appears to be limited too – but you’re right, this is where the solution lies.
For anyone else who likes nice, slow image fades, don’t be put-off by the Transition Builder only appearing to offer sliding, turning or directional tiled transitions. Persevere and create and save your own Custom Transitions.
Here are a few tips:
Set Rows and Columns to 1 (to give you one big tile).
Adjust the Duration to suit. (For example, I’ve saved options for 3, 5 and 10 second fades.)
Experiment with the other settings to get what you want.
Remember to name and save your custom settings
Once you’ve created your new transition, go to your slide and apply it.
Note: Although there is an option to apply this transition to all your slides, it didn’t work successfully for me – as it didn’t remove the slide’s previous setting. If that happens to you too, go into each slide individually and manually uncheck the old transition selection and ensure the new one remains checked.
Save your changes and you should find they work okay.
I’ve too have been looking for a way to control the duration of transitions between slides (not layers). I don’t see a way of doing this in the interface. Is there a configuration file I need to adjust. Like koala, I prefer slow, smooth transitions between images.
I don’t see Josue’s suggestion, where he says: ‘Try playing with this option:’
(For me, when I logged-in, there’s nothing showing.)I’d welcome any suggestions.
Thanks
