Hi Ismael,
I should have mentioned that QSXXXX you see in header of spam mail is actually my dedicated server. My email is delivered from that server as well as my client’s contact forms. I am copied on all of those forms. Another 8 spam (mostly .ru) since I posted before. I am attaching the code from the form below along with server information. If there is anything else that I can provide, please let me know.
Thanks for looking into this,
JoyeThis thread is very interesting to me because I am using an older version of Enfold on one website and (over the past year or two) get basically no contact form spam. However, I just built a new site with the very latest version of Enfold and that site – with captcha enabled on the contact form – immediately started getting at least 5-6 spam contacts per day. That may not sound like much, but the site gets very little traffic.
I have maybe a dozen other sites (built with other themes) using different versions of theme based contact forms and none of them get more than 1 spam contact every month or two. All of these are small local businesses with fairly low traffic and all are hosted on the same (dedicated) server.I am going to do the free trial of the plugin you suggested above, and if it works I I will pay the fee for it…but I would like to know if others are having the same problem and if they find that the Enfold contact form is particularly prone to spam or if this is an anomaly. Or perhaps I have something set up wrong?
I also really like the way the Enfold contact form works and looks, so my preference is to continue using if possible.I am attaching headers from a couple of them (note that I am getting copied on all of this client’s contact form inquiries).
Thank you for any suggestions you may have.Hi Mike!
Yes, I did try disabling plugins with no change. I use W3Total Cache – but had cleared the cache and also optimized the site with WP Optimize prior to disabling all plugins and finally then contacting you. Interestingly enough, by logging in and out of the site 3 times – it appears to have fixed itself. We’ll see if it continues to be ok.I truly appreciate your prompt reply and suggestion. Don’t know exactly what caused the problem – but it is fixed. Guess I should remember to use that “when in doubt reboot” thing I always tell everyone else!
Love Enfold. Thanks again for the assistance.
Nevermind. Dug through more support posts and found the answer
I put:} h1, h2, h3 { text-transform: none !important; }in Quick CSS and voila CAPS are gone!
Thanks.Was there ever any answer for this? I also do not want my h1s to be ALL CAPITALS. Cannot figure out how to change.
See the link please – I have entered both a “special heading” as an H1 and set the first line of a text block as an H1 trying to get regular sentence case. Both show correctly inside of the page editor…but both are displaying as UPPERCASE. Can you help me correct this please?
Thank you.I also have lots of unwanted pages indexed by google…
A google search of indexed pages (site:websitename.com) returns many pages inside folder “shortcodes”My WordPress Address (URL) is http:website.com/blog
My Site Address (URL) is http:website.comI tried the code mentioned above and also tried this:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /cgi-bin
Disallow: /blog/wp-admin
Disallow: /blog/wp-includes
Disallow: /blog/wp-content/plugins
Disallow: /blog/wp-content/cache
Disallow: /blog/wp-content/themes
Disallow: /blog/*?*
Disallow: /blog/*?
Allow: /blog/wp-content/uploadsBut I’m getting “allowed” for lots of enfold content from the dummy data I guess (although I did not publish it – draft only) like http://websitename.com/homepage/home-v5/ and from a “shortcodes” folder.
pages like: http://websitename.com/shortcodes/promo-box/Should these disallow statements have a slash on the end of them /blog/wp-content/themes/ ?
Plus, I guess, how do I get rid of the dummy data? I thought that not publishing it (setting it as draft only) would keep it from being indexed while I learned how to use the various options…wrong I guess ;{
Josue,
I tried the custom.css code in my child style.css file with no effect. It only worked when I put it in the quick css. Is there something in this code
`.post-meta-infos {
display: none !important;
}`
that I should change when I add it to the child theme?Thank you for the other code suggestion. I will try adding to the child theme and take the quick css out and see what the results are.
There are lots of references to this issue in Google Groups seems to be mostly in August 2014. This question that was asked and answered in Google product forums may apply:
FYI: We’ve now heard back from Google that this message might sometimes be sent a little bit “overenthusiastically” when there is no real problem. If you’re happy you’re not inappropriately 301 redirecting one or more URLs to your homepage (either on mobile, desktop, or both), and you’re happy you have no faulty redirects or soft 404s (which could be obsolete URLs you’re 301 redirecting to the home page instead of 404ing – and which might look like faulty mobile redirects if viewed only on a mobile), I suggest ignore the message. If you feel it’s still a problem in a week or two, please do come back and we can take another look for you.
There are links on the page for additional info.
OK, now I want to use the masonry content element and the image overlay effect. It shows the post date. Based on the information you provided before – could you tell me if this is the correct way to modify the display?
Copy of the masonry_entries.php into the shortcodes folder of my child theme.
In this section of the code:$overlay_img = $custom_url = false; $img_size = 'masonry'; $author = apply_filters('avf_author_name', get_the_author_meta('display_name', $entry->post_author), $entry->post_author); $this->loop[$key]['text_before'] = ""; $this->loop[$key]['text_after'] = ""; $this->loop[$key]['ID'] = $id = $entry->ID; $this->loop[$key]['post_type'] = $entry->post_type; $this->loop[$key]['thumb_ID'] = get_post_thumbnail_id($id); $this->loop[$key]['the_title'] = get_the_title($id); $this->loop[$key]['url'] = get_permalink($id); $this->loop[$key]['date'] = "<span class='av-masonry-date meta-color updated'>".get_the_time($date_format, $id)."</span>"; $this->loop[$key]['author'] = "<span class='av-masonry-author meta-color vcard author'><span class='fn'>". __('by','avia_framework') .' '. $author."</span></span>"; $this->loop[$key]['class'] = get_post_class("av-masonry-entry isotope-item", $id); $this->loop[$key]['content'] = $entry->post_excerpt; $this->loop[$key]['description'] = !empty($entry->post_content) ? $entry->post_content : $entry->post_excerpt; if(empty($this->loop[$key]['content']))Can I take this:
$this->loop[$key]['date'] = "<span class='av-masonry-date meta-color updated'>".get_the_time($date_format, $id)."</span>";
and change it to this:
$this->loop[$key]['date'] = " ";I’m hoping this works, because if it does – perhaps I understand what you explained before. A big problem for me is finding out which php file is being used. I looked at inspect element, but just ended up doing a search inside of the various masonry files until I found “masonry-date”.
Thank you again for all of the excellent assistance which is above and beyond what I would expect.
Yes! Not only did it work, I learned something. I understand the component in the functions.php now and I eliminated all of the content I didn’t want to appear. I read the w3schools php syntax info, compared it with your reply and it worked!
Thank you for the detailed information. Now, off to my next learning experience!
Thank you again.Sorry to be so dense. Are you saying that I should have a folder structure in my enfold-child theme folder that looks like this?
enfold-child
config-templatebuilder
avia-shortcodes
postslider.phpThanks for your prompt and understandable reply. Done.
Now, could you please help me with the “what I change” part? Does the image I attached explain clearly what I am trying to rid myself of?
ThanksHello,
Three questions please – (perhaps one should actually be in a different post?)
1. I want to do the same as webbee – modify the child functions.php file to change image sizes. Do I understand correctly from this thread that this is not possible right now? I def. prefer not to add plugins unless absolutely necessary, but it sounds like the parent functions.php had to be modified. Yes or no? If so, how do I do this and will I lose the change with an update?2. You said above “You have to put your code in the child theme in an action hook:” If I post the code (I’ve copied in below) into the child functions.php file – exactly what needs to be posted with it to make it override the parent?
I changed to Enfold from another theme (loving it so far) and know that I need to regenerate the thumbnails, but I would like to set and test sizes. I want to test with how big images can be without slowing down site and see how various options look before making a decision about the final layout. Last question may belong in another post, but I can’t find search results that address it and this is what I hope to do with the child theme…
3. Since my site features video and websites, I want proportions to be (at least roughly) 16:9 for all thumbs/images associated with the video category, post format and specific tags. (It would be cool to have 4:3 or even square for the website items, but I can live without that if needed.) The site is small/new enough that I can delete and re-upload images if necessary, because speed on mobile vs great looking video is the decision I am facing when I select optimal sizes.
I’m starting with 1920X1080 images (or could use 1280X720) as large screen shots for videos, but can anyone advise/explain what – if anything – will happen to the responsive/mobile version if I start changing the proportion here?
I did find the section (copied below) in the parent functions file that I assume I would need to modify:/* * Register additional image thumbnail sizes * Those thumbnails are generated on image upload! * * If the size of an array was changed after an image was uploaded you either need to re-upload the image * or use the thumbnail regeneration plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/ */ $avia_config['imgSize']['widget'] = array('width'=>36, 'height'=>36); // small preview pics eg sidebar news $avia_config['imgSize']['square'] = array('width'=>180, 'height'=>180); // small image for blogs $avia_config['imgSize']['featured'] = array('width'=>1500, 'height'=>430 ); // images for fullsize pages and fullsize slider $avia_config['imgSize']['featured_large'] = array('width'=>1500, 'height'=>630 ); // images for fullsize pages and fullsize slider $avia_config['imgSize']['extra_large'] = array('width'=>1500, 'height'=>1500 , 'crop' => false); // images for fullscrren slider $avia_config['imgSize']['portfolio'] = array('width'=>495, 'height'=>400 ); // images for portfolio entries (2,3 column) $avia_config['imgSize']['portfolio_small'] = array('width'=>260, 'height'=>185 ); // images for portfolio 4 columns $avia_config['imgSize']['gallery'] = array('width'=>710, 'height'=>575 ); // images for portfolio entries (2,3 column) $avia_config['imgSize']['magazine'] = array('width'=>710, 'height'=>375 ); // images for magazines $avia_config['imgSize']['masonry'] = array('width'=>705, 'height'=>705 , 'crop' => false); // images for fullscreen masonry $avia_config['imgSize']['entry_with_sidebar'] = array('width'=>710, 'height'=>270); // big images for blog and page entries $avia_config['imgSize']['entry_without_sidebar']= array('width'=>1030, 'height'=>360 ); // images for fullsize pages and fullsize slider //overwrite blog and fullwidth image on extra large layouts if(avia_get_option('responsive_layout') == "responsive responsive_large") { $avia_config['imgSize']['gallery'] = array('width'=>845, 'height'=>684 ); // images for portfolio entries (2,3 column) $avia_config['imgSize']['entry_with_sidebar'] = array('width'=>845, 'height'=>321); // big images for blog and page entries $avia_config['imgSize']['entry_without_sidebar']= array('width'=>1210, 'height'=>423 ); // images for fullsize pages and fullsize slider }Is there an easier/simpler way to approach this? Anyone else doing mostly video who has a solution?
Thanks so much for any assistance with this.To clarify my question.
I was thinking that the change was to be made in the archive.php – thus my question about putting a copy in the child theme.
Since you said to put the code in functions.php (in my child theme, I assume), is there a reason to put the archive.php in my child theme? Or should I just put the code in the child functions.php and call it a day?Confused. Regarding using the Avia builder on blog posts…
Above you sayDo you mean blog posts? If so, it is still possible to use Avia Layout Builder on blog posts but it is something that we do not recommend or support.
Later, you give instructions to do this (what I was looking for).
Make sure that you’re running Enfold version 2.9.2. Go to Enfold > Blog Layout panel then set the Blog Style to the very last option. This will enable the blog to be edited using the Advance Layout Builder.
Are you referring to the same thing? Can’t read the original question…
Thanks.Re: Changing the Page Title Text on Archive Pages.
1. If using a child theme, do I put a complete copy of archive.php in child theme to make changes?
2. Could you tell me the code I need if I want to substitute just the name of the category, for example “Event Video” instead of “Archive for category: Event Video”
