Hello Mike,

In this case versions before 5.3 had a different directory structure, typically updating the theme should have corrected this, but you were using WP Rocket cache which contenued to look the file in the old location,

Maybe you misunderstood my point: the thing is wp-rocket is NOT looking in te old location but in the new location:
wp-content/uploads/dynamic_avia/avia_posts_css/post-17.css – can not be found

That error is about the new location, not the old one!

It’s probably just me, but I have already been working on 2 topics to bring this problem to Enfold support’s attention. But you don’t understand my point, I probably can’t explain it properly then…

Update: I could not let my website be broken any longer so I cleared the cache and the issue is not visible anymore.

How to proceed??

Thank you Ismael,

I have read the description first and I read about a “rapidly growing folder ../wp-content/uploads/dynamic_avia.”

So I took al look in this folder and I see that it is around 17MB in size.
Is this normal?

And in my case, which option do you think is best to try first:

– disable adding unique timestamps only
– fix wp bug, ad unique timestamps
– fix wp bug, disable unique timestamps

Hello Ismael,
(I mean the full width slider on the homepage of http://www.einberg.net)

I am still having big issues with this; every plugin updates means a broken Enfold layout somewhere…!

I have a long talk about this with the wp-rocket support team and this what wp-rocket came up with:

“We noticed something that may be still causing problems, and it’s the filenames of the theme files.
The files such as /wp-content/uploads/dynamic_avia/avia_posts_css/post-26.css may have unexpected changes in the filename from the Enfold side, which are not synchronized with WP Rocket”.

So are they correct about this? Do you think this could be causing the issue?

Hello Ismael,

You can’t be serious about this, can you?

Your advice is that every time before I update plugins I deactivate my wp-rocket plugin and also turning off the theme’s file compression settings?

And then enable them again after updating the plugins? That is no way to update and maintain multiple websites, it is absolutely not workable in the long term!

It’s not a server problem at all, I think it’s an Enfold problem.

With the help of wp-rocket support I came to the following solution:

– Turning off all the theme’s CSS and Javascript File Merging And Compression options under Enfold>Performance
– Let wp-rocket take care of minimizing css and javascript by enabling these options in wp-rocket.

That solved the issue.

However, that leaves the following questions open:

– Why does the Enfold>Performance>CSS and Javascript File Merging And Compression option suddenly cause this problem? It has worked well for years in combination with wp-rocket!

– Has Enfold perhaps changed something about the CSS and Javascript File Merging And Compression option in theme options? Maybe Enfold now clears its own cache every time a plugin is updated, and that wasn’t the case before? This seems to me to be the only logical explanation.

Hello Rikard,

No, that option is disabled at my websites. But it was always disabled and I never had this issues before.

Hello Mike,

What if I want to use my UpdraftPlus backup plugin to restore the site in 3 years? I don’t backup WordPress core files with UpdraftPlus.
The workflow would be like this:

– install a new fresh up to date wordpress
– upload updraftplus plugin
– upload updraftplus backup files
– perform a restore with updraftplus

So in this case I have to install an up to date WordPress first.
Would that be a problem?

When I remove those code then I only have the piwikpro and GA code left? I have to place them in the header using the code that you say I should delete? I don;’t understand, sorry…

It seems to be working fine with my code!

Hello Mike,

Because the website I am building is indeed on a local server, I have recreated the page on which the problem occurs on a live server.
See link details in the private content box below.

I disabled all browser extensions and so on but nothing helped. Also, other websites I have build with other themes that don;t use the Enfold theme but do have a slideshow, don’t have this issue. So the issue seems Enfold related.

Also, it seems that the option to set a custom scale size in Windows 11 System>Displays settings affects whether or not the webpage is vibrating. A higher setting than 100% in combination with a chrome browser gives a high chance of vibrations. At 100% the vibrations are gone!

Since more than 90% of people use a chrome browser, and also the custom scale in Windows is quite often increased these days (especially on high resolution screens) I still think this is an issue you guys should look into?

Update:

Hello Mike,

Thank you for your help! My local hosted website is online again now, the url and login changend so please look at the private content box under this reply.

The problem is not in the slideshow itself, but in all the elements below the slideshow, so on the rest of the page!

If you want to take another look at the Enfold demo I linked, then scroll down to the phrase “Traveling was never easier!” is approximately at the top of the screen and the slideshow itself is therefore no longer visible. If you now wait a few seconds until the photo is switched in the slideshow, you will see a slight vibration in the text. But the vibration can also be seen in the buttons (like the button called All destinations) in the slideshow element itself.

On my own website, however, the effect is much more disturbing. If you look at the text “Fotograaf Groningen bedrijfsfotografie” and the text below it (Home page) you will see it vibrate every time a photo changes in the slideshow. I set the slideshow to 2 seconds so you can see it better and faster, but at 5 seconds the same thing happens.

KInd regards,
Alwin

Hello Mike,

Thank you for your fast reply :)

I used your code and it solved the issue!

I just wonder now why I did not have the same issue before on my other Enfold websites? I am not using block editor on any of my sites, and the code from the block editor you mention was not edited by me?

Thanks,
Alwin

Thank you for the good explanation Niko :)

I’m assuming a Masonry Gallery would work with swipe now?

For example on https://www.einberg.nl/boerencamping-sauerland-svr/

But swipe doesn’t work in a Masonry Gallery?

Haha, well, all my websites have an almost 100% score in GTmetrix, which is not that difficult in itself.

But indeed, the favicon.ico file is always loaded last and there is always a lot of time between loading the penultimate item and the favicon.

Probably an Enfold thing? I just uploaded a favicon in the relevant Enfold settings.
