Hey! I will switch back, but the image repeating will be disabled of course. so on ie 8 you will simply see a centered version of the image and if the image is smaller than the viewport there will be whitespace around it. So when uploading a big image of about 1500px x 1500px its pretty save to say that 90% of those ie8 user will never see the difference. and since the remaining 10% of ie8 users are not even a full percent of all visitors I think for now its a good tradeoff :)

Going to close this thread now. If I happen to find out anything new I will repopen here so you might want to stay subscribed for a month or two :)

Hey!

In theory I was able to solve the issue with tag encoding. However I will probably not include it in the next patch tomorrow since I had to change string encoding in a few places that could affect a lot of other elements as well. Once i have worked for a few days with the modifications active I will be able to tell if it causes any issues, and if it doesnt we will add it to Enfold Version 2.3 :)

Cheers!

Hey! I have played around yet another 5 hours and I think this is almost unsolvable. the effort we put combined into this issue is no longer worth it.

The slider has all the proper ie8 fallbacks for full cover background images applied. crazy stuff like ms filters and filter that should fix the issues and does that on other themes we use just fine. but for a strange reason I cant get it to work here.

ie8 somehow messes the whole thing up no matter what and at this point I have no idea what is causing the issue. I even deleted all non related css and the problem still persists. so at this point I think its safe to say that the fullscreen slider cant work 100% IE8 with this theme. It will either distort the images or only align it centered without stretching it, even if the vieport is bigger than the image. I think I will re-set the slider to the second non-distorting behavior since at least a user can upload a big image and circumvent the distortion problem. its probably also save to say that not many IE8 users have a screen resolution of more than 1500px so they will never encounter the problem.

Sorry for that, I almost never give up on any issue but I have wasted so many hours now on this that I simply want to throw my windows machine out of the window -_-

Hey! Found a workaround, next version should work fine, even on older IEs :)

Glad I could help. WIll close this up then :)

Since we are going to rewrite the icon system anyways I hope this will be fixed then :)

yes, it seems that the plugin creates a table for each blog on the site per default. will suggest to the plugin author to change that :)

@mp3dk: the only reason I could think off is an invalid name/key combination. You might want to double check that :)

This is not possible out of the box. Sorry. In this case I would recommend to create a child theme with a customized header.php file that fetches different menus and logos based on the page id.

Its not a difficult customization but it would probably take a few hours with testing, so I am afraid I cant really just post a code snippet here that makes all of that happen ;D

Hey!

You can change the header on a page by using a development feature of mine:
when editing the page create a new custom field with the name “header_setting”
as value you can use one of the following strings, which represent the various header settings:

fixed_header
nonfixed_header
fixed_header social_header
nonfixed_header social_header
nonfixed_header social_header bottom_nav_header

In addition: the next update will also remove that bug since we pack the updated layerslider script into the theme ;)

Hey Boris! It seems the import script was unfortunately not able to migrate those favorites, I am very sorry for that :/

Hope its not too much trouble to find what you marked as favorite :/
Best regards!

Hey! The following modifications worked for me:

CSS:

.social_header #header_main .container, .social_header .main_menu ul:first-child > li a {
height: 250px;
line-height: 250px;
}

.fixed_header.social_header #main {
padding-top: 281px;
}

javascript:

 set_height      = function()
            {
                var st = win.scrollTop(), newH = 0;

                if(st < el_height - 60)
                {
                    newH = el_height - st;
                    header.removeClass('header-scrolled');
                }
                else
                {
                    newH = 60;
                    header.addClass('header-scrolled');
                }
				
                elements.css({height: newH + 'px', lineHeight: newH + 'px'});
            }

I used a fixed value for the javascript, that actually makes the calculations for a human person easier :) Replaced the dynamic height with a fixed value of 60px

Hey Unfortunately, since the width and height of the image will change when on different devices setting a fixed height wont really work. My best recommendation would be to create and upload a custom “dummy” image that you use if you dont want to display a feature image

Great to hear that you solved it. Closing this thread for now, if you have any further questions let us know ;)
