du kannst ein child-theme language file hochladen (musst allerdings beide files hochladen po und mo file).
Je nachdem welches lang file du nutzt – ich gehe mal von Du (nicht förmlich) aus. Dann musst du das file de_DE.po bearbeiten.
Das geht ganz gut mit poedit: https://poedit.net/download
Damit öffnest Du das file und kannst nach dem String “Suchergebnis nicht zufriedenstellend” suchen. Es gibt wohl nur eine Fundstelle. Das ersetzt du und speicherst dann ab. poedit generiert automatisch die dazugehörige mo datei.
Beide files lädst du in dein child-theme/lang folder hoch ( der existiert nicht – erstelle ihn) –
danach setzt du in die child-theme functions.php folgendes ein:

function overwrite_language_file_child_theme() {
    $lang = get_stylesheet_directory().'/lang';
    return $lang;
}
add_filter('ava_theme_textdomain_path', 'overwrite_language_file_child_theme');

von da an wird nun das file für die Übersetzungen genommen.

________________________

PS: wenn es nur um diese eine Übersetzung geht (oder ein paar mehr) dann kannst du die Phrase auch so überschreiben – ohne ein child-theme lang file zu haben:

function my_text_strings( $translated_text, $text, $domain ){
  switch ( $translated_text ){
    case 'Suchergebnis nicht zufriedenstellend? Versuche es mal mit einem Wort oder einer anderen Schreibweise'  :  $translated_text = __( 'neue Phrase', $domain ); 
    break;
    case 'eine andere Ersetzung'  :  $translated_text = __( 'neue Phrase Nr. 2', $domain ); 
    break;
  }
  return $translated_text;
}
add_filter('gettext', 'my_text_strings', 20, 3);

bei solch langen Phrasen – geht das, da man nicht Gefahr läuft das die zufällig woanders noch auftauchen – schwierig wird es bei kurzen Begriffen.

12 years ago ? this seems to be deprecated.
anyway: on the images of your slider – you have set on: advanced tab – link options – lightbox ?

here is a way to have the option by classes to style those sticky posts by an own selector:

/**
 * Add a custom CSS class to sticky posts for styling purposes
 */
function add_sticky_classes( $classes, $class, $post_id ) {
    if ( is_sticky($post_id) ) {
        $classes[] = 'is-sticky-post';
        $classes[] = 'stickypost-' . $post_id;
    }
    return $classes;
}
add_filter( 'post_class', 'add_sticky_classes', 10, 3 );

/* Style sticky items in Masonry */
.is-sticky-post .av-inner-masonry::after {
    content: 'Featured';
    position: absolute;
    top: 10px;
    right: 10px;
    background: #000;
    color: #fff;
    padding: 2px 8px;
    font-size: 10px;
    text-transform: uppercase;
    z-index: 5
}

can you test this instead ( and remove your solution temporarly ) :

/**
 * Enfold Masonry Filter: Show sticky posts first, followed by other entries (including CPTs)
 * This filter captures selected post types dynamically from the element settings.
 */
function avia_masonry_entries_query_mod($query, $params) {
    // Prevent the filter from running in the WordPress admin backend
    if (is_admin()) {
        return $query;
    }

    // 1. Get the IDs of all sticky posts
    $sticky = get_option('sticky_posts');
    
    // If no sticky posts exist, return the original query without modifications
    if (empty($sticky)) {
        return $query;
    }

    // 2. Fetch IDs for the remaining posts (including Custom Post Types)
    // We use $params['post_type'] to dynamically support whatever is selected in the Masonry element
    $args = array(
        'post_type'      => $params['post_type'], 
        'post__not_in'   => $sticky,         // Exclude stickies so they aren't duplicated
        'posts_per_page' => -1,              // Fetch all IDs to ensure we have enough for the merge
        'fields'         => 'ids',           // Performance optimization: only fetch IDs
    );

    // If a specific taxonomy/category is selected in the element, apply it to our helper query
    if (!empty($params['taxonomy'])) {
        $args['tax_query'] = array(
            array(
                'taxonomy' => $params['taxonomy'],
                'field'    => 'id',
                'terms'    => explode(',', $params['categories']),
            ),
        );
    }

    $other_posts = get_posts($args);

    // 3. Merge the arrays: Stickies first, then the remaining posts
    $combined_ids = array_merge($sticky, $other_posts);

    // 4. Sanitize the IDs (ensure they are integers)
    $query['post__in'] = wp_parse_id_list($combined_ids);
    
    // 5. Force the Masonry to respect the exact order of our merged array
    $query['orderby'] = 'post__in'; 
    $query['order']   = 'ASC'; 
    
    // Set the final limit of items to display
    $query['posts_per_page'] = 6; 

    // Disable default sticky handling to prevent WP from interfering with our custom order
    $query['ignore_sticky_posts'] = true;

    return $query;
}
add_filter('avia_masonry_entries_query', 'avia_masonry_entries_query_mod', 10, 2);

you can use f.e. keka (download) to compress or : you can still download a little app i wrote. it is a shell-script. Just unzip that file and place the app to your desktop.
Now you can drag&drop files or folders to that icon. If you do not enter a new name – the generated zip will be named as the source file or folder:

https://webers-testseite.de/zip-it.zip
because it is then an app from the internet you had to allow it on OSX the first time to execute.

(sorry these are screenshots from my german OSX Mac.)
do not move to bin – klick the gray button and then open : system preferences – Data protection and security and on Security allow the app to open anyway.

see here how i made that automator app: https://kriesi.at/support/topic/how-to-submit-and-use-custom-fonts/#post-1470903

the downloaded app will have now an included icon and it will look like this :

see here for keka usage: https://kriesi.at/support/topic/trouble-importing-tff-or-woff-fonts/#post-1492002

_____________ :lol
PS: That’s only because I’m lazy. For example, I also created an Automator app that converts an mkv with dts sound into an mkv with ac3 sound via ffmpeg. Without remuxing the video ;)

Can you post a link to the page in question?
It will then be easier to advise you on which method to use to place the widget (which hook to use) and which CSS is required.
(follow Rikards link above)

/* ==== Header widget area
Logo left, Menu right
Logo right, Menu Left
Logo center, Menu above
==== */
add_action( 'ava_after_main_menu', 'enfold_customization_header_widget_area' );
	function enfold_customization_header_widget_area() {
	dynamic_sidebar( 'header' );
}

/* ==== Header widget area ============
Logo left, menu below
==================================== */
add_action( 'ava_main_header', 'enfold_customization_header_widget_area' );
	function enfold_customization_header_widget_area() {
	dynamic_sidebar( 'header' );
}

after that create your new widget-area on :

_______________________

if you like to have the widget-area always nearby the logo – it might be better to use a filter to place the widget area:
See here a different solution with a widget area inside logo container ;)
https://basis.webers-testseite.de/
tell me – if this is what you like to have – and if your header setting is in this way.

See snippets and basic css for that on: https://webers-testseite.de/fiorettipau/

i inserted to that widget-area a html widget – (copy&pasted html code from an enfold button-row)
Of course, you have to adapt the CSS to your header configuration. And you may also need to set a responsive behaviour.

f.e. if you got a shrinking header – you had to decide f.e. if you set the widgettitle to display none on header-scrolled.

Thank you – but I recommend using the unscaled images

f.e.:
http://www.interior-collection.de/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/IMG_7870-1.jpg : 135kb
http://www.interior-collection.de/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/IMG_7870-1-529×705.jpg : 285kb (imgSize: masonry – 705×705)

so better resolution but less file size.

background on that : search for : avf_jpeg_quality
e.g: https://kriesi.at/support/topic/enfold-creating-images-larger-than-the-orginal/#post-1488786

the css above is the rule from enfold – if you do not want that the width will be set by that – you had to overwrite this rule in quick css.
and it was only a suggestion what could happen on masonries on wide screens. So now i can see your masonry .

After the grid container – you got that section with the masonry.
On Gallery Style – what are your settings there:

sorry – no private content for me – i’m participant as you are.

i thought it was your belgium site on spitsdesign
PS: it is hard to inspect it with DEV Tools – because you merged the css.
PPS: if you just use the minified Versions – this seems to be a better performance on modern browsers. – and it is easier to inspect.

if you only want to get rid of that white overlay – but show on hover the little round icon – try:

.avia_transform .avia-fullwidth-portfolio a .image-overlay {
  background-color: transparent !important;
  opacity: 1 !important;
}
.avia_transform .avia-fullwidth-portfolio a .image-overlay-inside {
  opacity: 0 !important;
}
.avia_transform .avia-fullwidth-portfolio a:hover .image-overlay-inside {
  opacity: 0.8 !important;
}

this is i think the best option to handle the lang files:
it is a only manual patch vor those lang files of LayerSlider.
Or automatic after Plugin Update
Just uploading the lang-files to /wp-content/plugins/LayerSlider/assets/locales folder

You will have than a button on the LayerSlider Admin bar:

/* ========================================================================
 * LayerSlider: Patch for Select Option of lang files
 * Auto-copies language files from uploads to plugin directory
 * Auto-removes language files that were deleted from uploads

/**
 * END of LayerSlider: Auto-Patch for Select Option of lang files
 */

Summary of the final solution:
✅ Upload language files to /LayerSlider/assets/locales/
✅ Automatic patch after 24 hours
✅ Automatic patch after plugin updates
✅ when needed: delete_option(‘layerslider_patch_last_check’); – for immediate patch

these snippets will inspect each day – if there are additional lang files for LayerSlider

PS: You can force the patcher by temporarily inserting the following to your child-theme functions.php: delete_option('layerslider_patch_last_check');
after that goto Layerslider Dashboard and : Plugin Updates – Re-Check

i have this stand alone Version too – because i do have some Licenses for Layerslider.
so this seems to be very similar to Herb. I decided to completely remove theme plugin files ( and keep slides ) option.

but – i do not have a proper child-theme solution for that now – maybe i find a way to do that.…

may i ask you what is behind your “avia_gallery_image_order” – because this seems to be your custom function name – and not the filter that is used by enfold. So could you give more info about that function?

is it caused by board soft that there is a usage of an entity in your link notation?
(because you are not using the code tag to post that, i can not say if it is the reason for it.)

the quotes you set are all straight double quotes :

<link rel="icon" type="image/x-icon" href="https://mysite.com/favicon.ico">
<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="https://mysite.com/favicon.ico">
