I’ve stopped making my website because the bugs I’ve reported got frustrating and I got no help. Now I’m back on it hoping that the new version of the Enfold Theme (3.6.1) would magically solve them. It didn’t. What’s up?

I can’t give you access since I’m working on localhost. But the recipe for creating the bug is straight forward. I’v posted it above, but here you go again:
Install fresh WP with Enfold theme, import Default Demo, go to General Layout and change the default “Top Header” to any of the two others (Left or Right Sidebar). You should see the same thing that I do. Here’s what I see with a description. http://snag.gy/MwMxM.jpg

The Quick CSS trick doesn’t help. Only creates more problems.
It’s the most basic feature of the theme and it doesn’t work? Try it, find the bug, fix it. It’s annoying.

Yes! This works. Thank you. Now is there a way to maybe set the link manually? As you see the “a” tag is added automatically. My “inject” filter only adds the “img” tag, but it is wrapped in the “a” to begin with.

Also… how would I turn of the thumbnail image entirely (in the blog-grid)? I’ve found a post about it but it didn’t help me.

Ok. I understand. The problem might be caused by injecting feature images via functions.php. I wrote a post about it here https://kriesi.at/support/topic/inject-feature-image/. Some problems in there still remain and maybe they are causing this behavior.

After a while…..

And I was right. Injecting the feature image as described in the link above apparently changes some styling and Ismaels code doesn’t work, however when the feature image is there to begin with the code works. That also means that the solution that I found to inject images is not a good one (as Yigit claimed it to be) because it does not cause Enfold to “think” the image was already in the DB to begin with.
That’s problem one.

Problem two still not answered here is this:

Also, I’d like to remove the “hover” action on the feature image when viewing a single post, or to change it’s icon to ue80d and a title to “Watch now” and have the feature image behave the same as the button (open lightbox with self-hosted video).

As you can hopefully see this time, this is not only about removing the hover effect. In fact I would be sort of ok with it being there if I could set the link of the image manually, to a self hosted video or a youtube/vimeo wideo, remove the white overlay, leaving the icon there but changing it to ue80d or whatever else. Or… simply… do not link to anything – if my understanding is correct, if there was no link in the image, there would be no hover, no overlay, no problem.

The code works, but it’s a very “naive” solution. There are two main problems that I have with them:
1. I have some conditions which define if the injection should happen or not. When I do not want to inject anything I’d like it to behave like it normally does without the add_filter (so what your theme provides for posts with no feature image). Unfortunately when I simply return empty $html from my function it causes a blank result, which is different from theme’s default (icon representing type of post. I’d like this to be as if there was no add_filter when I don’t want to inject anything. I tried remove_filter, but since that happens from withing the function after checking is done it changes nothing.
2. When I inject $html with the tag than no matter what I add as alt or title in the , the template always takes part of the content (usually excerpt) as the alt/title parameter. I think it has something to do with the <span> tag that the is wrapped in which to my understanding is causing the hover effect.

And the hover effect leads me to another, less urgent problem, but still important – how do I turn it off and get rid of the link (which points to the image file itself in a lightbox) when viewing the post (is)singular / is_single / is_page)?

While I waited for an answer I figured it out with the ?iframe=true, however this still does not answer my original question in full. When I do that, the self hosted video opens up in a lightbox, but it is being played back by a browser video player, not the one included with the theme (av_video). And if it would, the player would still be missing the fullscreen button.

As for the feature image maybe I wasn’t precise. By hover actoin I mean not only the overlay, but the entire link. I guess that if the ling would be gone, the hover would not happen as well. So How to I remove the link being added to the feature-image? Please not that I’m using this technique to add feature images: https://kriesi.at/support/topic/inject-feature-image/ On top of that I’ve just added the css you posted to Quick CSS and it did not remove the hover effect.

By the way… is it possible to open that (inject feature image) thread up again? There are still some things, notes, and additional questions that need to be added there and I don’t want to start a new thread.

I wish I could. I’m working on localhost at the moment. You can try and do the same. Install fresh WP with Enfold theme, import Default Demo, go to General Layout and change the default “Top Header” to any of the two others (Left or Right Sidebar). You should see the same thing that I do. I’ve tried it several times when I was starting to play with the theme and figured it would be an easy fix. Turns out it’s not the case, so I posted it here.

Heh. As always – chances of solving the problem on your own increase with desperation and amount of posts published about it on the net. Finally I’ve solved this issue. Here is the code added to the functions.php of the child theme.

function _jdutils_inject_thumbnail( $html, $post_id, $post_thumbnail_id, $size, $attr ) {
    if ( empty( $html ) ) {
		$post = get_post($post_id);
		$html = "<img src='someimage.jpg' atl='$post->post_title'>";
    }
    return $html;
}
add_filter( 'post_thumbnail_html', '_jdutils_inject_thumbnail');

Still I’d love if someone more competent than me could look at it and confirm this is the best way to go about it.
Thank you.
