Thanks for looking into that Victoria,

I installed and ran the “Regenerate Thumbnail” plugin that was mentioned in Yigit’s post, but this didn’t do anything. Based on the Regeneration log, the thumbnails in question were regenerated, but they didn’t change on any of the pages. Even cleaning the cache in Chrome didn’t make a difference.

As you can see, the thumbs or featured images I uploaded to the portfolio items measure 1030 x 585px, but they are still seemingly resized and displayed in this square like 505 x 400px.

What’s more, on the designated blog page, thumbs are displayed in the same 505 x 400px dimmension, while others – using the same blog post content element – are seemingly displayed in a more rectangular format. It’s weird.

Would you mind taking a look. Access credentials are included in my previous request.

Many thanks for your time and help with this.

I’m terribly sorry Basilis, but supporting problems with custom post types and custom taxonomies seems common practice here. I also don’t think that addressing an issue, where merely a custom taxonomy is missing in the drop-down window of corresponding content elements would require “quite some time and customization of the theme”.

Enfold has changed a lot lately; hence, many existing tips to troubleshoot and fix issues like this simply no longer apply. Naturally, this will cause users to struggle with problems like this.

That said, it seems that your response above is just a canned standard response you use whenever you’re not motivated to address an issue. So, why bother responding in the first place? Maybe there’s another moderator or participant out there who is willing to lend a helping hand and who wants to help that customers get the most out of working with Enfold.

Just a quick note to let you know that working with a percentage-based negative top margin did do the trick for me, Rikard.

Many thanks for that.

Thanks Rikard,

I see what you are saying.

So, knowing now that all Layer Sliders seemingly all have the same global id (#layer_slider_1), I followed your lead and went with:

#layer_slider_1 {
z-index:0;
}

Following this rational, this should apply a z-index:0 to all Layer Sliders?

So, as far as this concerns my welcome page, working with

#slideroverlap {
padding-top: 0;
margin-top: -100px;
z-index: 10000 !important;
}

is working just fine.

Now here is what I’m struggling with: On secondary pages, such as services, legal, etc. I’m using another smaller Layer Slider with a canvas height of only 400px. Now applying the following code

#slideroverlap_2 {
padding-top: 0;
margin-top: -200px;
z-index: 10000 !important;
}

won’t do anything. If I increase the negative top margin to -300px, it would create the desired effect; however, since, it’s a response site layout, it will cause the Color Section below to move up almost to same level as the main menu.

Why is that? Since the the Color Section below has no padding applied, shouldn’t any negative margin cause the Color Section to overlap Layer Slider. Why is that working perfectly on the index page and here it doesn’t?

Many thanks for helping me get through this. It’s vital to my overall design and layout; so, I appreciate your help and patience with me.

Best,

I understand what you’re saying Rikard, but your code will put me in the exact same position as if I were using a grid row element. Making the entire section full width would naturally cause the header in the left column to no longer be aligned with the headers above and below the color section. Do you see the dilemma?

Isn’t there a way to use the same padding that you guys use in the color section – but just on the left cell of a grid row? Just thinking out loud …

Many thanks for your help

Sure. No problem Rikkard. The site is not public as of yet; so, you will need to login with the admin login credentials provided below.

The section in question is the “In Motion” section with the orange background and the Easy Slider to the right. As I’m sure you will agree, this would look much more contemporary and sleek if the Easy Slider would line up flush against the right edge of the page.

Again, I know that this can easily be done using a grid row instead of the color section page element; however, it’s next to impossible to align the content of the grid row in the left cell with the ones of the color section above and below the grid row. I also find the grid rows not react as smoothly with the responsive site layout. See the dilemma?

Many thanks for looking into that.

Best,

Karl

I’m sorry Jordan. There was a space where there shouldn’t be any.

Many thanks for looking into that.

Absolutely Rikard. Many thanks

Listen, Ismael,

I’m very disappointed! Except for changing the home page of my public site and assigning a picture from another post to the test post of my new custom post type, you have done nothing to address the problem I outlined. Moreover, it was you who created the “Article” and “Article1” custom taxonomies, and it’s evident that neither one works, as intended, with my “Editorial” Custom Post Type.

I will remove the Toolset-Types plugin altogether now. It just doesn’t seem to work for me. Sadly so.

Please advise as to what changes you did to my functions file (see post I linked), so removing the plugin won’t cause any problems to my site.

Frankly, I’m beginning to wonder if you are the same “Ismael”, who used to provide top level support on behalf of Kriesi and his team. This guys was sharp and on top of his game. He would have never changed the home page of a live site, although my post clearly included a link to a designated page containing my blog posts.

Thanks Ismael. It works now.

I’m sorry, but I didn’t see the post you mentioned in your reply. There are so many and, naturally, I was focusing on later posts in my research. Thanks. I appreciate your patience and hands-on help with this.

Thank you Ismael, I can see that the Advanced Layout Builder works now.

The problem that remains is that I still can’t incorporate any posts from this new custom post type (Editorial) into content elements such as the Masonry grid.

I thought that I created the required custom taxonomy (articles), but it won’t show under available Categories, when working with the Masonry grid.

Would you mind looking into that for me please? Many thanks.

@Ismael

I tried looking up NicWeb’s solution, but the link you provided only points to his profile, where there’s nothing to be found that resembles “custom post type “veranstaltung”. All I can see is the 3 non-descript replies he created in connection with my forum post.

Where am I going wrong here?

Thanks for the update Yigit. Truly appreciate it.

Just for you to know, I updated to Enfold 4.2.2 a few days and as of now, there’s still no sign of the Advanced Layer Builder on my installation.

Thoughts?

That’s a great idea, Ismael. Will be happy to give it a try.

Many thanks for sharing; You guys rock;
