What does using incognito mode show/prove?

If I launch Firefox today and load the live site, it is still showing me the page from January 23. Obviously if I did a hard cache refresh I’d get today’s actual page but I’m keeping the old cached version until we get to the bottom of this.

Doing the same with Chrome, I get the true live home page for today.

What I don’t understand is why something is not telling Firefox that the home page has changed since January 23 and to re-load ‘afresh’.

Hi,

I’ve just checked again and the closing span tags are definitely missing on two sites, one is the live site, the other its test/dev site. I updated this site from 4.5.1. (to 4.5.2) by the Update Theme function in WordPress.

I then checked another site that I updated to 4.5.2 (from 4.5) a couple of days ago. For some reason this site had a 404 error on the Enfold > Theme Update page so would not update ‘automatically’. I had to do a manual FTP update into the theme directory. The code on that site does have the correct closing span tags.

It seems to me therefore that the update process via WordPress has got some issues and that I need to do manual FTP updates to ensure code integrity.

I can assure you that I am not going mad (!) and that those lines of code are missing from the ‘WordPress-updated’ sites, and that I would not be wasting your or my time with a spurious support question/query. I have better things to do… :-)

I think you can close this but might also suggest some feedback to the dev team about what I have experienced.

Hi,

Still doesn’t work with single quotes. I also removed any quotes, i.e. [the_ad id=13590], and it all still gets stripped out.

(NB. The shortcode inserts an ‘ad’, in this case a company logo. Shortcodes work on posts. I’ve added the shortcode as the first line of text under the main photo on this post, http://dev.henleyherald.com/2017/07/06/lorries-causing-more-problems-on-henley-bridge/, and you can see the image/ad inserted. So I think this problem is to do with ALB.)

I tried a few things. There’s a PHP version to insert the ad. I don’t think Code Block supports PHP but I wanted to see the outcome.
Code block altered to
<?php the_ad(13590); ?>
renders as HTML:

<div class="avia_codeblock " itemprop="text"> 
<!--?php the_ad(13590); ?--> 
</div>

and no image/ad displayed.

If I revert to the shortcode and change the square brackets to round e.g. (the_ad id=”13590″), then that is displayed as text on screen.
HTML:

<div class="avia_codeblock " itemprop="text"> 
(the_ad id="13590") 
</div>

Given the shortcode is being stripped out whether with single, double or no quotes on square brackets, but is not stripped out with round brackets, whichever code module processes Code Block is finding the square bracket and stripping out everything between the open and closing square brackets.

Can you stop this happening?

OK, but what about the Request Feature button not working?

Hi,
Doesn’t work: tried it on the dev/test site: http://dev.henleyherald.com – various Blog Posts on the home page e.g. under Business, Schools, Sport headings.

I disabled file merging and compression, cleared cache.

That aside, I’m guessing your code is attempting to remove all Preview Images site-wide wherever Blog Posts is used. That’s not really what I want – I’d like to be able to target specific instances of Blog Posts on certain pages. For instance this page – http://dev.henleyherald.com/news/ – uses Blog Posts and I’d still want to have the Preview Images display on that. Is this possible?

PS. The best way would be for a new option on Preview Image Size of “Don’t load a preview image” – where can I log a new feature request? I thought there used to be a thread somewhere but can’t find it.

This is fixed in 4.3.2

Site is now running PHP 7.2.
Warning has not happened in the last 3 days since I first posted so not sure if you’ll be able to find anything.

Wow – 200 lines of CSS… I’ll move it into my child theme.

I didn’t see Kriesi’s explanation – where is that please? I can’t see anything in the changelog.

And are there any implications / potential problems with re-including the combo widget?

Sorry for the delay but I have been away for most of last week.

Has someone changed or fixed something on http://www.jacksgallery.co.uk? Because I’ve just altered Disable Template Builder Elements to “Load only used elements” – and now the home page displays correctly. I have not altered anything on that website since my post #953358, 6 days ago (as mentioned, I have been away and not worked on this issue until today).

What’s changed? Why is this now working?

@Ismael – please review the previous posts in this thread. The site with the problem now is different to my first post. Your suggestion about having 2 enfold directories solved the problem on https://www.americanroadtrips.net. The continuation of this issue is now with another domain, http://www.jacksgallery.co.uk. There are 2 sites, www and dev, of this as well. The www site is set to “Always load all elements”. If you login (details provided earlier) and alter it to “Load only used elements” and refresh the home page you will see that the Headline Rotator and Easy Slider are no longer displayed. This is the problem.

Please note the request above that this is a live e-commerce site and if you make the change to Disable Template Builder Elements to see the problem PLEASE alter the setting back as soon as possible so that the home page displays correctly.

(NB. Initially both the www and dev sites displayed this behaviour but for some reason the dev site ‘fixed’ itself. No idea why.)

I updated the theme via Updates, not via FTP. I have checked the directories you reference and there are no duplicated files.

This problem has not been fixed in 4.3.1 – I’ve just upgraded 3 sites and the issue is still there on all of them.

@Ismael – I cannot upgrade one other site to 4.3.1 because of the problems caused by 4.3 removing the Combo Widget, which have not been resolved so far by your suggestions in this thread: – https://kriesi.at/support/topic/v-4-3-removed-deprecated-avia-combo-widget/

@Ismael – I’ve just updated another 2 client sites (www and dev versions) to Enfold 4.3 and set both to “Load only used elements”.

Headline Rotator and Easy Slider are no longer displayed on both. Both sites only have an enfold and enfold-child directory in wp-content\themes (plus twentyfifteen).

Both sites are HTTP, not HTTPS. I’ve left the dev site home page showing the ‘missing’ elements. Site address in private. I’ve had to switch the www site back to load all elements.

Yes, it is now active – but it’s behaviour has changed. It’s no longer displayed as tabs in 4.3.

Look at the combo widget on this post. This is Enfold 4.2.6.

Now look at the widget on 4.3: this post.

Check the code in Chrome Dev Tools. After <section id=”avia_combo_widget-3″… there is a <div class=-“tabcontainer border_tabs top_tab tab_initial_open tab_initial_open__1″ on both, but then 4.3 is missing the next <div class=”tab_titles”> that is in 4.2.6. I guess this is what makes it display as tabs?

How can I get 4.3 to display as it did in 4.2.6?

And what have the devs said about why they removed it? Can’t we just have it back as it was?
