Oh weird! The slider seemed to be working on my desktop. Also, it still looked screwed up on my phone when I just checked now — even more screwed up; like before I updated the theme; with the menu items all showing above the header and everything out of whack (see linked screen grab). Flushing the site cache via the GoDaddy hosting settings and clearing my phone history didn’t seem to do the trick. Even clearing the history and relaunching safari on the phone, and repeating that a couple of times didn’t work. Even clearing the history, quitting the browser and restarting the phone didn’t work…. the first time, but when I did that a second time, it worked! The site looks fine again. AND, the reason I went through all that was because I had the exact same experience a few months ago, when I was running into some similar issues on the phone after a theme upgrade. Do you have any advice re clearing the iPhone cache to avoid this in the future? I wonder how many other users who have visited the site before are still seeing that screwed up version. Thanks, regardless!
Hmm, I guess it was something funky with my phone. I had cleared and quit everything and rebooted it, but was still seeing the problem, but yeah, the next day, it seemed fine. Anyway, thanks for checking and replying!
OK, that’s semi-acceptable, thanks ;) Not as good as before, though, and a pain to have to go through my 25 enfold sites and apply that css. Are you including a fix in an upcoming enfold release? If so, is that coming any time soon, to you know?
I removed my Themeforest username and API from the Theme Update fields and that seemed to solve my issue. But now I put the info back in and I don’t seem to be having the issue anymore, even with that info in there. Is it possible that removing the info clears up the issue (at least whatever issue I was having, apparently with Dreamhost), and then you can reenter the info without it reactivating the issue? Anyway, my issue seems to be resolved, at least for the moment.
Thanks.
No, when I activate the default theme there’s no problem. I tried deactivating all plugins and I’ve manually updated Enfold — still having the same issue. I’ll include credentials for you here. Note, I’ve updated everything by switching to the default theme, but try adding any plugin and you’ll see the issue (I’ve switched it back to Enfold now).
Oh I’m sorry — I didn’t mean I needed any more help — I was just pointing out that, if you go to the site, you won’t see the vertical background image left-aligned in the Main Content because (once I was able to finally do it and see what it looked like) I decided using the horizontal version in the footer looked better anyway.
The site seems to be working fine, now — maybe it was a transient error: http://2fa.490.myftpupload.com/
Thanks again.
OK, that didn’t quite work for me — that puts the image inside the container padding or something, so it’s 50px from the left edge, and if I try to move it left, it disappears. Also, that only worked on my inside pages, not my home page (maybe because my home page doesn’t have a sidebar). BUT, that did help me get to something that does work, which is this:
.main_color.container_wrap .container { background: transparent url(https://2fa.490.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/colored-divider-vert.png) top left repeat-y scroll; }FYI, I’m sticking with the horizontal footer version for now, so the above isn’t actually implemented on my site, at the moment.
Thanks for persevering with me, nonetheless ;)
Wait, are you saying that adding a background image in the Main Content area (in the Left Sidebar layout) does work? As far as I can tell, that option doesn’t work. And adding a right-aligned background image in the Logo Area via the option panel doesn’t seem to work either. Am I wrong about either of those things? I mean, it’s ok if they don’t work; you can just tell us, “Sorry, you’re right, those options don’t work in the Left Sidebar layout. We’ll try to either fix or remove those options in a future update,” or something like that… ;)
Your suggestion above puts a background color behind the border / menu divider lines. If you can send me css for a background image that’ll show up above / on top of the border / menu divider lines, that could work, but I couldn’t even figure out how to make your suggestion work with a background image.
Thanks again.
I don’t think that’s the issue — the background image shows in the header, footer, etc. — it just doesn’t show in the Main Content area, where I need it ;) You should easily be able to test this on your end — I think you’ll find that the theme option for adding a background image to the Main Content area doesn’t work in the Left Sidebar layout. Please let me know if I’m mistaken.
OK, so the theme option for adding a background image to the Main Content area doesn’t work in the Left Sidebar layout, correct?
But background images don’t seem to work at all in the Main Content area. The option is provided in the theme, and background images show in the General Styling preview, but they don’t show on the site.
Here’s a screen grab of the preview:

http://2fa.490.myftpupload.com/You can see the code in there, but it’s not working:
https://www.evernote.com/shard/s320/sh/526deff2-94fe-4823-aa57-e4e934f4febe/df74fe614e6a94c6da306e40d719ec7aWell, I’m trying to get it to show up between the header/left column and the body area. So, I could put it in the header and use background-position to push it to the right, but then it’s behind the borders and in the middle of the mobile version header. So, ideally, it’d be at the left edge of the body area, but I think it’s getting hidden behind the body area somehow. You can see that it’s there if you squeeze the browser to tablet width (see https://www.evernote.com/shard/s320/sh/8c42c25e-f496-47af-aae0-7a8a1fe00b56/4bfdeacc9c88000eb556f3912a4b4df2 ), but it disappears in the desktop layout.
So, in other words, here’s what I’m after:

And I’m getting it in mobile/tablet view, but not in desktop.Thanks!
OK, I tried that — it’s in there now — didn’t seem to do anything… oh I see; you left the dot off the first class selector. So yeah, that turns the whole left column red (I can’t leave it like that, but I have a screen grab linked below). I’m trying to get a background image to tile vertically and align either top-right in that left column or top left in the body area. I can get it to align top left in the left column, but disappears when I go top right, and I can’t get it to show at all in the body area.
Thanks again!
http://skidrow.org/ — sorry, I figured you guys already had that from my many page references in this topic. Also, I had already sent you the url and user credentials on May 4th. Thanks.
That’s how I have it now, but it’s kind of a drag having to manually add titles to every page, and change them manually, if the page name changes. But more importantly, I can’t add titles to the category/archive pages, unless I manually create a category/archive page for every category.
If you want, we could work on just adding titles to the category pages — would that be easier? I just figured that, since it seems the theme has code to create titles for all pages in the Header Title and Breadcrumbs strip, we could maybe get that to show at the top of every body area instead.
Thanks again!
Thanks Ismael, but there are still a few couple of problems with that:
1) It still doesn’t seem to be getting down into the body area — it’s still butted up against the left edge of the browser — we can’t get it to show after the div class=container… or main class=content… tag?
2) It still doesn’t show the category title on the category/archive pages — it still just shows the title of the first post on those pages.
3) It doesn’t seem to be inside the custom-title div, so I don’t see how that selector would affect it.See this screen grab for those three issues:
https://www.evernote.com/shard/s320/sh/585e37f5-8144-4a03-8107-c053accd840b/7d0cd953da6dd2d5d1d5b3a619a4cad4I’d like it to look like how I have the titles manually inserted now:
https://www.evernote.com/shard/s320/sh/b9747b5c-4058-4932-843e-64bd725ec4c0/81eb14b9212f934d26915e4c77f73a6dSeems to me, whatever code you use to get the titles to show in the Header Title and Breadcrumbs strip would be the way to go — that code handles issue #2 above (getting the category/archive page titles to show.
Thanks for your continued effort on this!
Thanks, Ismael — that’s closer.
Here’s what the first function does: https://www.evernote.com/shard/s320/sh/f753f1d3-cd78-4155-9a73-e8a911a5de6c/369ced36a93c0efed26d007ba74af645 — So, for one, that title’s still in a strip/row above the body area — I’m hoping to get it to show up IN the body area — in the main role=”main” area — where I currently have my manually inserted page titles.
Also, that just adds the first post title to the top of the category pages, instead of the category title: https://www.evernote.com/shard/s320/sh/21482abe-ad3d-4778-810d-135a3e738cb0/f4f407c0c4673b435d51fdb2de8eec49
AND, that still duplicates the post titles on single post pages, where the title’s already automatically being added to the page: https://www.evernote.com/shard/s320/sh/70600708-65c6-4309-9c78-aee2e1c2a48f/6c204c82f6d93d730de0e3174eb52853
The ava_after_main_title hook doesn’t seem to do anything at all. A hook is the same thing as a function, right? I add that in my child theme functions.php file just like the_title function, right?
Thanks!
I think maybe you were seeing a cached version from when I had Elliot’s snippet in the includes file. Again, with that snippet in there I got the excerpt and read more links on the category pages, but I would ONLY get the excerpt and read more links on the single posts, too, so I had to remove that snippet. But now I’m back to no excerpts/read more links on the category pages.

Here’s what I’m seeing: https://www.evernote.com/shard/s320/sh/673274c3-4014-424c-b912-6a33cf87b4b1/9532930bbf9dde6a04a63b419bb1446c
Oops, scratch that — sorry — I asked that hastily. I see now I had some custom css on .content ul that was adding some left margin, thus pushing the right side of the slideshow out of it’s div and effectively chopping off the right side of those images, including the rounded corners ;)
Thanks anyway, sorry for the false alarm!
Well, I can’t leave the live site like that, but I’ll send you the admin account in private. Thanks and let me know if you have any other questions.
Sorry, that doesn’t seem to be any different, to me — that still creates duplicate title on posts (see link below) and still no automatic titles on pages. Again, the single posts are fine — they already have titles — what I need is automated page titles and titles for the category/archive pages (the title/name of the category at the top of the page). In other words, if we could somehow bring the titles that are generated in the header “strip” (the same strip where the breadcrumbs show) into the body area, we’d be in business ;) And I do have a child theme in-place, btw.
Hey, it looks like maybe you didn’t paste the code in your response? All I see is “check if we got posts to display”,
OK, that works — thanks! I added a little fine-tuning to pull it away from the menu icon and line it up vertically with the menu icon lines:
`@media only screen and (max-width: 990px) {
.responsive.html_mobile_menu_tablet #header_main .social_bookmarks {
display: block !important;
position: absolute;
right: 22%;
top: 53%;
}
}`Hmm, I am seeing the menu and slider now — maybe it was just a cache issue or something. But I still don’t see the facebook icon — I don’t seem to have that extra menu with the icon at the bottom of the screen like you do (I’m on an iPhone 6, iOS 8.3, if that helps).
