Hi Yigit. Thanks for taking a look. So it appears there is a compatibility issue between BWP minify and Enfold. That’s too bad. I appreciate you taking the time to have a look.

Looks like I have to go into my site and add the markup manually.

Hello again. We were able to dig deeper with the hosting company (Flywheel) and involved their engineers, who responded and managed to do some magic to get the site back on the air (stop 502/504 errors).

According to Flywheel hosting, the script that was erroring out on my client’s site, causing repeated 502 and 504 Gateway Timeout errors, was as follows:

[pool site-60980] script_filename = /www//index.php file_get_contents() /www/wp-content/themes/enfold/framework/php/function-set-avia-frontend.php:636 avia_is_200() /www/wp-content/themes/enfold/framework/php/function-set-avia-frontend.php:568 avia_html5_video_embed() /www/wp-content/themes/enfold/config-templatebuilder/avia-shortcodes/av-helper-slideshow.php:662 set_video_slide() /www/wp-content/themes/enfold/config-templatebuilder/avia-shortcodes/av-helper-slideshow.php:305 advanced_slide() /www/wp-content/themes/enfold/config-templatebuilder/avia-shortcodes/av-helper-slideshow.php:150 html() /www/wp-content/themes/enfold/config-templatebuilder/avia-shortcodes/section.php:811 avia_new_section() /www/wp-content/themes/enfold/config-templatebuilder/avia-shortcodes/section.php:653 shortcode_handler() /www/wp-content/themes/enfold/config-templatebuilder/avia-template-builder/php/shortcode-template.class.php:250 shortcode_handler_prepare() unknown:0 call_user_func() /www/wp-includes/shortcodes.php:345 do_shortcode_tag() unknown:0 preg_replace_callback() /www/wp-includes/shortcodes.php:223 do_shortcode() unknown:0 call_user_func_array() /www/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php:298 apply_filters() /www/wp-includes/plugin.php:203 apply_filters() /www/wp-content/themes/enfold/template-builder.php:43 +++ dump failed

Flywheel said: “We forced caching across the entire site with our server caching and that seems to have kept the site up and running currently but you may want to have your Theme developer look in to that script.”

So that’s what we learned today. I wanted to give you the heads-up about this feedback from the hosting company regarding the Enfold theme.

Hi Ismael, thank you! First of all, I had no idea that I wasn’t up to date on the latest version of Enfold. Doh! I have the box ticked to receive updates, but for some reason I either missed the email or overlooked it. I really believed I was using the latest version (3.6.1), but I see now that I wasn’t.

I updated to Enfold 3.7.1. (as well as latest WP updates that came yesterday along with latest Yoast SEO updates which came yesterday), and now everything seems to be working fine again. Hooray!

Thanks again! You can mark this (my) topic RESOLVED. :)

Oops that’s actually what I meant! I actually DID copy the helper-responsive-megamenu.php file (I typed the wrong file name in my post above). So yes I did do the correct thing as you instructed, but it doesn’t work to save it to the child theme, only works when I make the change to the Enfold file.
————————————————-
SO………… I guess in conclusion then …………….. for anyone else who is looking to accomplish this same thing, Ismael’s instruction to edit line 239 of “helper-responsive-megamenu.php” as such:

if(!$this->top_menu && !empty($item->description))
Replace it with:
if(!empty($item->description))

works perfectly well, but only if you edit your Enfold theme helper-responsive-megamenu.php file. However, if you edit and save helper-responsive-megamenu.php to your child theme directory (childtheme/includes/helper-responsive-megamenu.php) it does not work. So, although it is a good solution to the problem, for which I am very thankful – sadly, it can’t be accomplished in the true way that child themes are supposed to function. So from now on, each time I update Enfold, I’ll have to ensure this code is changed so that the site main nav menu will still look and function as my client needs it to. :(

I think I’ll head over to the Feature Requests forum and place a post asking the developers to add this ability to show the menu item descriptions as a theme functionality. It seems logical enough to me since WP enables us to use this rather neat-o functionality, then the theme should make it possible to do, rather than suppress it. (This is just my humble opinion).

All that being said, I still remain a big fan of the Enfold theme, despite this rather small issue I have with it. I will continue to build and re-build my own and my clients’ websites with this theme. The good far outweighs the not-so-good with this theme.

Thanks again Ismael and Enfold team!

Ismael, thank you for your reply! I will give this solution a try later today when I can get back to this project again. Thanks again!

I think I’ll see if I can figure out how to build a custom post type or customize the single.php template for my child theme. Thanks!

Wonderful, thank you so much! :)

I put it at the end of my child theme’s functions.php. I’ve successfully done that for a couple of other items as well, and they work just fine.

Here is all that is in my child theme functions.php file right now:

add_theme_support('avia_template_builder_custom_css');

add_filter('avf_postgrid_excerpt_length','avf_increase_postgrid_excerpt_length', 10, 1);
function avf_increase_postgrid_excerpt_length($prepare_excerpt) { return 120; }

function modify_share_title(){
	return "Share this";
}

add_filter('avia_social_share_title', 'modify_share_title');

Thanks Josue! But… I’m not sure that this is what I need. My question isn’t about localization, or translation, and it doesn’t have anything to do with languages. My question was asking you how best to go about making a specific (minor) change to the front end via an Enfold child theme.
