Great job everyone…
I love this theme – and the support forum is impressively helpful.
Here is a site I just launched for one of our fishing rod brands…
http://fishmhx.com/hey thanks –
close – it made it 800px width – but it is adjusted left not centered –
any idea how to center it (like the blog look when no sidebar is present)
I have that page set to not have sidebars – in case that mattersNot sure if this is the same – but I wanted to have a category in the main menu, and when I go to a post within the category, still have that category highlighted in the main menu.
I didn’t see a way to do that – but I know it is possible technically as other websites do it.
Anyways, I blindly just started trying different things, and the following css actually does it….so if the post is in two categories, both categories show up highlighted in the main menu
Not sure if there are any problems doing this – but wanted to share for those searching – it might work for you too…there’s probably a better way….
//////////////////////////////////////////// start ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
#top .main_menu .menu li.active-parent-item .avia-menu-fx{
opacity: 1;
visibility: visible
}
.current-menu-parent .avia-menu-fx, .current-menu-parent .avia-arrow-wrap{
opacity: 1;
display: block;
visibility: visible;
}
.current-menu-parent a{
color: #333333;
}///////////////////////////////////////////////// end //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
I found a solution that worked for me. The css stuff doesn’t work – at least not for me.
After digging around and trying different settings, this is how I resolved the IE9 transparency issue in the header and menus. (BTW it was transparency issue not black issue – it looked black because of the background image I used).Resolution:
W3 Total Cache
1. Go to General Settings Tab >> Minify Section >> Set Minify Mode to Manual and Save Settings
2. Minify Tab >> Scroll down to – Never minify the following CSS files: >> add “custom.css” (without quotes)
FYI – because the Minify was set to manual, you need to manually go in and make sure all the applicable areas you want minified are checked.
This resolved the IE9 transparency issue for me.
Page speed:
Basically most of the theme css files are not being minified (Google Page Insights verified this), however, the rating only went down 1 or 2 points and some pages were not effected at all for some reason.
Anyway, for me, my speed is still in the 90s for PC, even after the deduction for not minifying the css – so it is worth it in my opinion since there are still a great many IE9 users out there.
Outstanding Issue:
When W3 Total Cache Minify is enable – there is not any wording in the page source to confirm W3 is working. However, my page speed tests indicate that W3 is working – so this appears to be an annoyance issue more than a functional problem.not sure if you were talking to me or not since I didn’t include a link – but my website is http://www.greggonline.com/
I don’t have minify enabled so you won’t see the issue if you look on IE9
to summarize the issues:
issue 1: IE9 black header and transparent menu when W3 cache has CSS minify enabled (to be clear – you can enable Minify on general settings, but you need to disable CSS Minify in Minify tab to resolve this problem). But….
issue 2: With Minify enabled on general settings with W3 cache, you no longer get the W3 input on the page source. this is the text W3 displays at the end of the page source to show it is working and usually starts with “<!– Performance optimized by W3 Total Cache.”
As an FYI – I did not experience this with another theme I tried. For me it is not a huge issue, but not great either since I want to score as high a possible on page load times.
So I have the Minify feature totally disabled right now.
Again, I am just reporting an issue – I love the Enfold theme and recommend it when asked for a theme recommendation.
Hi – I tried that – but still had black header and transparent menu background – even tried adding !important.
FYI – I made sure W3 cache was cleared – and also cleared browser cache on IE9 machine.
As I mentioned – unchecking CSS Minfy in W3 resolves this issue – but we should be able to minify the theme css files….
****There is another issue when CSS Minify is enabled with Enfold – W3 has trouble caching the pages (the W3 verify code in page source disappears)
So I don’t know if it is a W3 issue or Theme issue – but I don’t have the issue with another theme (just an FYI and not a slam – I love the Enfold theme!)FYI – I had W3 Total Cache enabled and experienced the same IE 9 issue. To resolve, I just unchecked the CSS minify area – then clear W3 cache and browser cache. Then it worked fine. Also of interest – after disabling the css minify in W3 – I did not notice a speed hit using Google Page Speed tool.
not sure if my reply showed up – I use the the “small non-fixed header” – can you provide details on what to swap out –
thanks in advance for your help…
