Hello. I would try #1 below and then #2 after that. Also, if your site is going to be up for more than just a very short period of time, I recommend you install and activate the Enfold Child Theme.
1. Use Chrome in incognito mode, to rule out any conflicts
2. Increase your memory allowance, using your wp-config.php file. Set the allowance to 768M.define( ‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘768M’ );
Let’s start there.
Hello. You can set your heading font to be Monsterrat, within Enfold’s Advanced Styling area. You’ll want to edit the Slideshow Title and set the font family.
I do WordPress optimization and SEO for a living. It sounds like you are trying to address both. If that’s the case, I recommend that you educate yourself further on both topics. I’m writing another article (Enfold Theme Release Review) that may be of interest.
Ask anyone that does WordPress optimization and they will tell you they do NOT use the Google speed tools.
No problem. Happy to help. This particular thing should definitely be easier, but in my experience, I have to throw CSS at it.
If you’re on Facebook, feel free to join a group I started for Enfold-related tips, tricks, support, etc. It’s not affiliated with Enfold in any way, at this time.
I did what I recommended, but using a 2, Color Sections and no Grid Row. It’s as good as you’re going to get and if you absolutely need to have the entire image visible at all times, that will take some CSS and/or image editing.
When you create a link, edit it and there is an option to open in a new window. Look for a checkbox.
I see what you mean now. I’m mobile at the moment, so I’ll tinker here soon. But, what if you put the grid row with background and below it place a color section with black background and your text?
Did you set the image as a background and Stretched to fit? It won’t stretch/cover, otherwise, without some CSS.
Hi. I cover that here. Happy to answer any questions.
Hello. Yeah, you can just add my code to your Quick CSS. To the menu item you want to change, add the CSS class I mentioned, to it. You can name the class whatever you want.
Then, replace everything in your code, up to the left bracket, with .border-menu
If you’re on Facebook, look for our group and I’ll add you in. More tips there! The group name is below.

I can get you a copy. Do you know what version you were on previously? I recommend 4.2.3, but I don’t want to change things on you too much if you were on a newer version.
Gotcha. Here is one of my sites, where I use what you’re after.
Set your menu item to Button Style (Bordered). Give that menu item a custom CSS class of “border-menu” and use the code below.
The last 2 items will grow and shink the box on hover, which adds a nice feature. Add in other lines as you need them, to address the colors and whatnot.
.border-menu .avia-menu-text {font-size:14px!important;}
.border-menu {transition: .3s ease-in-out!important;}
.border-menu:hover {transform: scale(1.1)!important;}Hello. My recommendation is to remove the new version and revert back to a previous version. If you have a child theme in place, you’ll want to remove the core enfold theme using FTP and then add back an older version.
You can follow along with a post I’m writing up as we speak. In short, this release is a mess and I’m helping clients and non-clients get their sites back online. You have to really know about WordPress optimization technologies to work with the latest version of Enfold, which completely goes against providing a theme that’s easily-adoptable. Happy to answer any questions.
If you’re running a business or a site where uptime and availability are critically important, do NOT install Enfold updates into production. First, install into a staging environment, where you can test every aspect of your site.
Hello. In my experience, you have to get the code EXACTLY how you want it before you place it in the table. This is because once you edit that particular table item again, you essentially start over with when you use custom code.
In short, there are issues with Enfold’s table that have yet to be fixed.
Another example can be seen when you edit the table, the elements don’t show until you refresh the page. Pretty frustrating when you have a lot of entries and you need to re-arrange them after the fact.
You can get around this easily by adding a featured image to each post. Even if you don’t need/want a custom image for each post, you can simply create an image/graphic to use on all posts. In my opinion, it looks better to have something there and a little less code is then needed to remove the element.
If you still want it completely removed, we can get you the code.
Hello. What has changed recently? Theme updates? Other updates? Can you provide URLs so we can see if this is an Enfold issue, WordPress issue, hosting issue, or something else?
Thanks!
If that is true, then why are you opening a support ticket with Enfold and why not make your staging site live? You’re kind of contradicting yourself.
Also, search the forum for “4.3”. Not good.
Test with GTMetrix or webpagetest.org, for the most accurate results. My article covers this. Happy to answer any questions.
This is not an SG issue. You have to ask yourself, “what has changed?” The answer is Enfold. We’ll see how this plays out, but I believe Enfold has stepped outside its comfort zone. Themes should NOT overstep this far into the performance side of things. Rather, they should aim to optimize the code.
I recommend you turn off all 3 levels (depending on your plan) of caching on SG. Test you site speed page loading time (do not look at the grade) and test that all of your Enfold elements are working. Starting with enabling Memcache, repeat the process. Then work your way through SG’s other caching levels.
You may find you don’t want to be on Enfold 4.3. You may find you don’t need certain levels of the SG caching.
As someone that works heavily with SG and Enfold, this is how I would approach it. That said, there is no way in hell I’m using 4.3. It’s a mess, from my initial testing, as well as all versions after 4.2.3.
We are essentially paying to be BETA testers IMO.
Here is a group I created, that centers around Enfold if you would like to join.
Here is another group I recommend.
https://www.facebook.com/groups/wordpresspluginsuggestions/You would have to do your own research. Perhaps look at joining some Facebook groups to get some more advice.
