Yes it was related to a compression setting in the Enfold theme settings. Disabling the compression fixed the Layerslider. Thanks

Temp admin access info in private window below. Thanks

I replaced the header and footer files in the child theme folder. The LayerSlider still loads twice. And now I am getting a lot of Warning notifications in the footer.

Goes on and on ... way too many lines to put in here.

Here is the code at line 2030 in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wordpress\wp-includes\wp-db.php

		if ( ! empty( $this->dbh ) && $this->use_mysqli ) {
			$this->result = mysqli_query( $this->dbh, $query );
		} elseif ( ! empty( $this->dbh ) ) {
			$this->result = mysql_query( $query, $this->dbh );
		}
		$this->num_queries++;

So I opened up the admin side and made a trivial change in the theme editor so that I could hit SAVE because sometimes that seems to jiggle the theme back into shape. And that did indeed get rid of all the Warning notifications in the footer.

But now the LayerSlider still loads twice. And when I try to use a slider with text layers and slice effects, they fail. Text displays in the upper left – piled on top of each other – and the background images do not display or slide correctly.

Can you take another look at it?

Thanks!

Hi Rikard,
This is happening again. Please take a look at this test page and see what you think.

The page is jumping and flashing. It looks like the layerslider loads twice. ??

Thanks

The console now shows additional error notifications:

shortcodes.js?ver=4.7.4:1193
Uncaught ReferenceError: avia_is_mobile is not defined at shortcodes.js?ver=4.7.4:1193

I put the URL in the private content box.

Why are these layersliders looking for shadow.png in the directory indicated below? It does not exist in that location.

/wp-content/themes/enfold/config-layerslider/LayerSlider/static/layerslider/skins/fullwidth/shadow.png 404 (Not Found)

I solved the problem. As far as I can tell the fix was to re install Enfold and then make a change in the theme options form – any minor change – just in order to enable the Save All Changes button. Once I SAVED (with the re-installed theme installed), the LayerSlider began to work.

I want to emphasize that the theme re-install did NOT fix the problem until I did a SAVE ALL CHANGES in the Theme Options form.

Along with this I am getting a console error that shows a 404 Not found error for this asset:
/wp-content/themes/enfold/config-layerslider/LayerSlider/static/layerslider/skins/fullwidth/shadow.png

The file shadow.png is not in that folder. Why is the feature looking for a file that doesn’t exist?

I see no errors in the console. Thanks
Link sent in the private field.

My original post has the details returned by the security scan that explain the issues.

I tried replacing the enfold theme files with the latest and got this:

Fatal error: Can’t use function return value in write context in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wordpress\wp-content\themes\enfold\includes\helper-post-format.php on line 213

Please take a look now. I will leave it like this until 2pm. EST.
