@schoolofmakeup: thanks for that. I will have a look.

@Ismael: I put the font files in the child theme/fonts and I also put them in the mail theme root and yes, I used the full directory. I know it was looking in the right place (after I had changed my child theme H1,H2 etc, as the fonts did change (back to a default one).

I assume because the Use Any Font plugin would not display it – the font is incompatible to be converted. I just gave up lol.

Hey @Vinay,

Thanks for this. It is very helpful. In this demo it modifies the child theme H1 (as an example) to use the new installed font.
Of course, I have a blank child CSS file. If I install the font will it become available through the Enfold Theme Interface? (so I don’t have to add all the font settings in the child theme) ?

That is what I really want to do. Find a new font, install it, and for it to be available in the drop down list in the Enfold (Child) Theme | General Styling | Fonts | Header drop down list.

Hi @Jordan,

Yes I have, but they don’t work. I am using 4 column footer.
If, for example my image is 300 x 100 and in the footer I use the image tag and set it to 150 x 50 it does not show as this. It distorts the image. When you resize the window, the image gets squashed and not in proportion. (the image in the image gallery is actually very large (3000 x 2000) or something similar.

Try it yourself, just insert an image into a footer column :)

Thanks guys,
I managed to create a child theme and put this in functions.php and it works fine.

Much appreciated.

@Vinnie

Fantastic support thank you Vinay! I had the right API key but forgot it was registered with the customer name and not mine doh! – User Error, sorry. But much appreciate the fast response. (you can close the ticket)

Thanks @Ismael,

I got there in the end. Well almost I guess. The sub headings are all in purple if you select the heading.

Do requests like this ever filter back into development? i.e. Does anyone look at issues like these and think, we should really make the side menu work like the main menu?

Recently I had to search how to open the hyperlink on a testimonial in a new window because there is no way of doing so. Do these sort of things go into development or do you rely on customers shouting and submitting feature requests?

Thank you for your continued support.

Hi,

The current menu item did show the current page highlighted before the above custom CSS changes.
I just want a menu down the right side of my page showing the menu structure, and using the same colour scheme as that set in the General Stylings.
Not sure why it does not default this way. However, I do appreciate the help guys.

I have created an admin account if you please take a look for me? You’ll be able to see the dots too then (which only show as part of the custom CSS)

Many thanks,
H

Hey @Guenni007, thank you so much for the quick response. This worked perfectly!

Thanks Rikard, details below.

Did you also change the font to quicksands? (and make it size 16)

I have no idea why the images are not showing. I give up! I can see the URLs when I edit the reply but I don’t see them when I submit the post.

Sorry Andy,

I can’t have a live site running with a bug. Surely you have test sites set up? All you need to do is create a page with a transparent header with image as a background. Change the Advanced Styling for the menu to Quicksands and make it blue. Make sure the transparent colour is set to white. When you view the page, you will see that the colour has not changed.

Hi @Andy,

It is quite simple really. Perhaps I am trying to explain it in too much detail related to my specific site.

Having problems posting an image link here:

Change the Advance Styling for Main Menu Links to a Font Family that is NOT on the font list for main body fonts. In this example Quicksands.
Set the colour to a dark Blue.

By doing this, this also changes the website main menu font colour. (So now your menu’s are Blue).

If you then use a page with a dark transparent header image you can not see the menu because it it dark blue.

Of course, the next option would be to change the Transparency menu color option under Header settings. Changing this colour has no effect on the menu at all – this is the bug. If you have social icons in the header (they do change to the Transparency menu color), but the menu does not.

I hope that gives you sufficient information to reproduce the bug.

As I say, I have been able to work around it by adding the quicksands font to the list of fonts and making it my default font. I then select default (instead of Quicksands) in order to change the menu size to 16.

Yikes, can we go back to the beginning?

My problem is with Enfold not working as expected. Your solution above just makes the sub menus white, which means you can’t see them as they turn out to be white on white.

Can I explain the issue: The issue arises because I am using Advanced Styling because this was the easiest way to use the Font Quicksand (size 16px).
I set the font colour to #176e96. This displays fine on the home page. It is what I expect. A blue menu with white background.

Despite changing the Transparency Menu Colour (under Header | Transparency Options Tab) to something else (currently #F7941E) the menu does NOT change when using a transparency header (as with most of the other pages on the site). The only thing that changes is the Social Icons. They change to #F7941E NOT the menu. The menu remains #176e96.

I see this as a bug.

Perhaps the solution is to go back and revisit Rikards comment above about registering additional Google fonts for Theme Options ?

If you can give me the code for Quicksand I can put this into the functions.php in my child theme (sorry I am such a novice lol)

I much appreciate your help and patience :)
