OK, I moved the closing divs back to the bottom of page.php (Is this the correct way to close those divs? https://capture.dropbox.com/ROwRW1tjKO7zxuXA ), added all the code from footer.php below that (I assume I’m supposed to remove the get_footer function, correct?), and removed the closing divs from that footer code. Does that all look/sound correct? It doesn’t seem to work — the header and footer both disappear as soon as I activate the Elementor footer. I’m including the info again in the private content, in case you have any other ideas for me :). Thanks again.

OK, thanks so much — but it sounded to me like they said Elementor would replace the footer.php — “Please note that Elementor doesn’t just hook to WordPress functions. It declares its own theme locations and replaces the theme header.php and footer.php files.” — doesn’t that mean, as long as I’m using the Elementor footer, I don’t need to worry about the Enfold footer.php?

Thanks, Mike — here’s what they said:

Please note that Elementor doesn’t just hook to WordPress functions. It declares its own theme locations and replaces the theme header.php and footer.php files. For reference: https://developers.elementor.com/docs/themes/ Therefore, this is still valid feedback from my side: https://elementor.com/help/considerations-for-theme-builder-compatibility/

Do you think that leaves me any hope for a workaround? Thanks again.

Thanks, Ismael, but I’m sorry, I misread what they (Elementor support) said and therefore described it wrong to you. They said “[Enfold] opens several div tags in the header template and then closes them in the footer template.” — plus, I missed that they had actually included screenshots (linked below) — does that make more sense, now? Thanks again and lmk if you have any other questions.

Yep, you can close it!

OK, thanks anyway. I much prefer the way Enfold handles the headers and navigation, but when a client’s already using Elementor I feel pressured to stick with it, especially since Elementor does have some clear advantages. But I still believe Enfold is a smarter system, on the whole (including better support!), and I still recommend Enfold for clients who aren’t already familiar with Elementor. Anyway, thanks again, and thanks for so many years of good support and a great theme!

Thanks, Mike, but I can’t seem to get the update to come available in the theme options — any idea why it might be stuck on “No Updates available. You are running the latest version! (5.5)”?

Right, but unless it needs to be there for accessibility, I’d rather not have it at all.

Ah, good to know, Guenni — thank you. I set the width to a pixel value instead. But I’m not sure what you’re saying about the heading — is not having a heading an accessibility issue or something?

Sorry, Guenni, did it sound like I was still having trouble? I think I’m all set on this — I’m keeping the socials in the top strip on desktop, and your code helped me add them to the mobile menu, for when they disappear from the header on mobile. Thanks again for your help!

Thanks, Mike! Feel free to close this thread.

Ahh, nice! Thanks, again, Mike! Any tips for how to find that kind of thing? I’m usually pretty good with css, but it seemed particularly hard to find the css that was changing when the slides open.

Yep, you can go ahead and close it, if you like.

Nice — thanks so much, Ismael — the ordering’s working, and that’s amazing, but it seems now the recurring events aren’t showing. For example, there should be recurring events showing on https://gobeyondhomes.org/property/wilmington-townhomes/. If I disable the functions file in the child theme, I can see the recurring events, but we’re getting that “nothing found” message when the functions file’s active. Do you have any idea why that might be? Thanks again.

Thanks, Ismael — looks like I added it with the CPT UI plugin (see https://capture.dropbox.com/s1Lk7UWcUheKvgfd), but I also just noticed this block of code at the bottom of my functions file (sorry I missed that the first time). Thanks again and lmk if you have any other questions.
