Thank you very much for the clarification. It sounds like reducing the original images’ resolution when uploading them in the first place is a best practice. For most applications, a large web image can be stored in 150KB or less and still looks good. Then the resulting smaller images will require less storage as well. It’s a matter of training people who add blog posts or edit the site.
If really necessary functions.php could be edited. I try to resist these types of mods since they may be eliminated on upgrades.
PeterThank you for the solution of modifying functions.php. Per my original question above, I’d like to know the purpose of all those images. Are they needed for making a responsive site for other devices, or are they just a convenience for faster loading? Or are they needed by the theme in some way that will later break the site? I’m trying to understand what I’m giving up by editing the functions.php
Thank you very much Rikard. I solved the problem by replacing the background in the sections in question with an image that was in my library. Then, when I removed that image, the link to a kriesi.at image disappeared and the mixed content disappeared. So, it seems there was a default link to the construction theme, which I had used as a base for my design. Looks like an initialization problem.
Then, on the home page, the page was rendered with the logo and menu overlapping the first section. That seems like an issue. I was able to quickly recreate the content in a new page using templates (they are awesome). Once I did that, and replaced the home page with it, everything came back correctly.
Thank you for helping me resolve a very vexing problem!
Hi Victoria,
The goal is to simply have a picture, slider, etc, plus some intro text as the top of the blog post. Then a <!more> separator, that lets the interested reader look for the rest of the article. This is how all of my blogs have worked with other themes. I had hoped to use the advanced layout editor, because it allows such flexibility on our posts. The only way I see so far is to use the default editor with a single text article, and then embed shortcodes for sliders, etc. (and I don’t know your list of those).
It seems that Enfold decides by itself with Advanced Layout what the excerpt of a post does. I would prefer to control that myself.
Jetpack is too complex a plug-in.
After much experimentation it seems like the standard blog formats only allow me to have one text block with everything embedded in it. That would let me control the excerpt length, contents, more, etc. I’m going by the Construction Demo. You can see it on my “A small gallery” blog entry.
Everything else you can do with the Advanced Layout editor would only be there if you open the blog post.
The whole thing seems a lot more complicated than it should be. Ideally, I would like to be able to put blog posts together in Advanced editor with some elements above the fold, then a “more” element, and the rest shows up when you click on that.
Would you please help me understand this a bit better?
