I figured this out. It’s with page preview. The layout don’t work right when you click “preview page” you actually have to update and then load the page for everything to look right.

Hi Basilis,
I have chrome and firefox on pc and on mac. All 4 are seeing this. It’s on the page load. so for instance. Load the site and choose the menu item “about/overview” (overview is the submenu of about) let the page load. Now load “regulation/nodal exchange regulation”. you’ll see all the menus shift to the right slightly. Now if you go back to the overview page, they shift back. I just tested again in firefox on a PC.

Andy, this shouldnt’ be marked answered because it’s not. now as to support for 3rd party plugins, it’s your theme that’s causing the plugin to stop. Not the otherway around. Isn’t that something you might like of which you might like to be aware and fix?

i’ve done a little more investigation on this one. I added a plugin that is supposed to do exactly what I want.

The way the plugin works is this:
you create a shortcode and place it in a widget area (in my case the custom widget area i created is called press-releases)
this is my shortcode:
[aw_year_links cat="3" postslug="press-release-2"]
it tells the plugin to load, by years that have posts all posts in the category of id 3 (press-releases). it further tells the system that if a user clicks on one of the years in the sidebar then take the user to the page with slug press-release-2.

This part of the plugin is working fine. the sidebar i have loaded currently on this page as an example
http://nodal.rudtek.com/press-room/press-releases

The next step is to place a 2nd shortcode on the press-release-2 page that was identified in the first shortcode above
so i went to this page http://nodal.rudtek.com/press-release2 and placed this code:
[aw_show_posts cat="3" readmore="Learn More" publishedon="n/j/Y" showsubheader="no"]

which tells this page to load the excerpts from the same category.
This loads the posts correctly but the sidebar on this page doesn’t work right, it throws errors. and loads a generic sidebar with the default archives, pages, and categories (none of these widgets are loaded in any of my widget areas)

Notice: Undefined variable: end in /home/rudtekco/public_html/nodal/wp-content/themes/enfold/framework/php/function-set-avia-frontend.php on line 1035

If i take the page short code (2nd one above) out of the page at press-release2, then the error goes away and the plugin sidebar loads as normal.

I’ve tried this with a different theme and the plugin loads normally (yearly list is loaded in sidebar everywhere) and I’ve had the plugin author try to fix it, but he is saying it’s something to do with enfold. The feedback from the plugin author (who attempted to help) can be found here:

Can you please help?

If you have or know of a better way to do this, i sure would appreciate that as well. Login credentials are below

i can do that, why doesn’t the extension do what it is supposed to do though? is there something wrong on my end? why does hosting have to do with this?

no caching on my site. haven’t installe that yet. there isn’t even an option to not show the pictures though. The first time you use the widget it’s set to “no date” and that’s when i notice the problem, so i truly don’t believe it’s a caching problem. I am hosting with Greengeeks.

OHH, I found the borders and background, it was all under the bg, nothing about borders at all. weird.

this is the css controlling it:

.slide-entry {
    background-color: white;
}

what’s strange abuot this is that in the partner logo row options, i definitely have option to say no borders.

still would love help with the spacing though and vertical alignment though.

That did it! THANKS!

that’s what i thought too,. and i did just what you described. did you see any thing missing in the code above?

i did check them. your theme provides the same error.

not sure that is the same problem. You’re saying that you can’t get to the enfold options? The issue i’m having is that i can’t edit metaboxes on pages and posts.

I did contact the plugin developer directly. They are a HUGE part of the wordpress community. This isn’t some ma and pop shop company. Here is what they said:

Thanks for the email.

Can you please ask to test the google.load function in their JS, and confirm that it does exist. Because it should:
https://developers.google.com/loader/?hl=en

basically there is a java error on your progamming side. I’ve tested it personally with ACF, a plugin called event manager, and a framework called CMB2. None of these plugins work while your theme is active.

This is more than just troubleshooting other plugins.

In addition, the plugin developers have said they were trying to contact Kriesi directly to help get this solved.

so what do i do? ACF said to talk to the theme author and you are saying talk to ACF?

the theme is live here at the address i private messaged. You’ll see the error there as i described. I’m using my computer, (win8) my laptop (win 7) and mutliple browsers.

why would i have to buy a different version? Your themeforest page says it comes with Layerslider? I’m not sure i understand this…Kind of seems like a bait and switch.
