Elliott. You were right. It’s working as it should. Thanks for your help.

Hi Vanay. Yeah, I’d tried that early on. No change.
But now I just realized what the problem most likely is. The category “news” is applied to a typical blog post. The category “nepal” is applied to a custom post type post, built from Toolset Types plugin (which was recommended by you guys–which has been worked rather well).
So, looking over the Types setting options there are 2 “Post Relationships” section: Parent Post Types (with options of: Post, Page, Media and Avia Framework), and Children Post Types (with options of: Post, Page, Media and Avia Framework). I’ve applied these in various combinations, but am not correcting the problem. Perhaps you know which options might work here?

Thank you for the info and for following up on this diligently. We’ll call this matter settled now.

Thanks Vinay!

Just checking in on this one too. Anything?

I just made a fresh install on my local host. Brand new WP (4.4.2) and fresh download of Enfold from Themeforest. I made a page with a blog and magazine next to it (just like the website in question) and the same error message occurs. (I tested with pluggins deactivated as well.)

So, I guess this isn’t an issue that is isolated to my site.

I had not made any modifications to wp-includes/functions.php. There are a few modifications to the (child) theme’s function.php, but when I remove the file, the problem persists. I’ve swapped out the wp-includes/functions.php with a fresh Enfold version, and no change.

Admin access has been made for both websites for you. It’s in private content.

Thanks,

Sure. See private content.

Thanks for the work on that Ismael. Your edit to the code has made it active, but it’s adding extra space bottom padding to it.

Here’s the updated code in its entirety:

/* adds the parent page in sidebar navigation */

function avia_sidebar_menu($echo = true)
{
	$sidebar_menu = "";

	$subNav = avia_get_option('page_nesting_nav');

	
	$the_id = @get_the_ID();
	$args 	= array();
	global $post;

	if($subNav && $subNav != 'disabled' && !empty($the_id) && is_page())
	{
		$subNav = false;
		$parent = $post->ID;
		$sidebar_menu = "";

		if (!empty($post->post_parent))
		{
			if(isset($post->ancestors)) $ancestors  = $post->ancestors;
			if(!isset($ancestors)) $ancestors  = get_post_ancestors($post->ID);
			$root		= count($ancestors)-1;
			$parent 	= $ancestors[$root];
		}

		$args = array('title_li'=>'', 'child_of'=>$parent, 'echo'=>0, 'sort_column'=>'menu_order, post_title');

		//enables user to change query args
		$args = apply_filters('avia_sidebar_menu_args', $args, $post);

		//hide or show child pages in menu - if the class is set to 'widget_nav_hide_child' the child pages will be hidden
		$display_child_pages = apply_filters('avia_sidebar_menu_display_child', 'widget_nav_hide_child', $args, $post);

		$children = wp_list_pages($args);

		if ($children)
		{
			$default_sidebar = false;
			$sidebar_menu .= "<a href='". get_the_permalink($parent) ."'>".get_the_title($parent)."</a>";
			$sidebar_menu .= "<nav class='widget widget_nav_menu $display_child_pages'><ul class='nested_nav'>";
			$sidebar_menu .= $children;
			$sidebar_menu .= "</ul></nav>";
		}
	}

	$sidebar_menu = apply_filters('avf_sidebar_menu_filter', $sidebar_menu, $args, $post);

	if($echo == true) { echo $sidebar_menu; } else { return $sidebar_menu; }
}

Sorry Ismael. I had some backwards login happening for a moment there. The new query.php file (from 4.4.2) has corrected the problem.
Thanks again.

When the Advance Excerpt plugin is activated, the Post (e.g.: news) works as it should, but for the Custom Posts (e.g.: nepal), I get this error message and no content: Notice: Undefined index: index in /home/karnalie/public_html/ke-2016/wp-content/themes/enfold/config-templatebuilder/avia-shortcodes/google_maps.php on line 281

So, I’ve deactivated the plugin and went with your functions.php code. If you go to the Nepal blog, you’ll see that there’s a problem with this as well.

As for activating the Read More tag, per your first solution, I don’t know what that means.

Thanks again,

Hi Rikard,

I should have supplied that earlier. Here it is. (In private content.). You see that the sidebar link About Us, which is the parent, isn’t active.

Thank you,

Hi Elliott.

The WP version is current (4.4.1). I’ve added you as a User. Please see Private Content for the access.

Hi Elliott.
I think the reason the link wasn’t working when you tried was that I was just in the middle of swapping out the previous Enfold version for a fresh version. I uploaded it manually since the previous version was also 3.4.7.

The problem still persists. Could you please look into it again?

Thanks much,
