Good thought — and I was really hopeful that would work, but it doesn’t seem to, actually. I had it set to only load elements in use (which I guess, technically, should be ok, seeing as I’m not actually using that element, or any elements, since I’m not even using the Avia page-builder), and I switched to Manually load elements, with no elements enabled, but no luck — cleared the server cache; tested in various private windows, etc. Any other ideas? I can set up a copy of the site and give you access, if you want to have a look…?
Hmm, that seemed to help a little, sometimes, but the menu still seems fairly “confused” in the ways I described above. But I’m ok for now — the client seems ok with letting the sections anchor at the top of the browser, so I can just use Enfold’s method of anchor linking, which keeps the nav animation and current item highlighting working as they should. Thanks anyway / for now!
Got it — thanks! And thanks so much for the Elementor Menu Anchors tip — that’s a totally sufficient option — sorry I didn’t try that before asking! Thanks again and feel free to close this thread.
Thanks for the plugin fix on this, Rikard — apparently this fix still hasn’t been implemented in the theme, correct? I’m running Enfold 4.8.1 and WP 5.6.1 and I still seem to need the plugin to get a smooth scroll with the right speed. Thanks again!
Nice — thanks for checking that! So, I guess this little trick is working for some reason, eh? At least for now — maybe the browsers will clamp down further in the near future ;). Thanks again, Ismael!
Ah, I see — thanks. So maybe it’s only working in iOS, eh? Are you able to check if the video on https://justiceforsaweto.org/ is working in Android, by chance? Thanks again, Ismael!
But this is a Color Section, not a Slider — maybe that’s where the confusion/distinction lies? Also there’s no fallback image option in the Background Video options for the Color Section. Did you check my screencast? https://www.screencast.com/t/nqfry1qy. Thanks and let me know if you haven any other questions.
Thanks, Ismael, but I just reloaded https://justiceforsaweto.org/ on my phone and it’s working again — the background video’s playing! I just updated my iOS last night — I wonder if that’s what fixed it. Hmm…. yeah, so, I don’t know if this helps anyone, but, as of now, adding ?background=1 to the end of a vimeo url in the Background Video options of a Color Section (https://www.screencast.com/t/nqfry1qy) seems to work in iOS 14.4. I welcome any other comments/info on this, though. Thanks again!
There’s no staging or dev site, but you can deactivate the plugins — and there are backups, so I can revert if anything breaks. Thanks!!
I hadn’t actually tried that yet — sorry; can’t believe I hadn’t — but I just did and it doesn’t seem to be a plugin conflict; I’m still seeing the issue. Any other ideas? I set you up with a user, in case you want to jump in and poke around. Thanks!
Wait, isn’t that the same answer you gave me before? Or maybe you’re referring to Victoria’s post as opposed to KingsField’s? Either way, I think I had already tried both and shared with you the results. I just tried again and when I use just what’s in Victoria’s post — and change post_slider to blog_post, as you instructed — the taxonomy query in the Blog Posts element is apparently lost — it looks like I instead get a list of every page, post, event, portfolio item — everything on the site, it looks like.
Maybe you’re saying i have to manually enter the taxonomy query in the filter? If so, as I mentioned in my previous post, I don’t know if that that will work for me because the query needs to be different for every page (the client has all these properties — https://gobeyondhomes.org/property/ — and we’re querying events specific to each property).
Also mentioned in my previous post, testing your snippet higher on the page — https://kriesi.at/support/topic/entry-slider-event-calender/#post-992681 — gives me results that seem closest to what I need. So I tried combining the part of Victoria’s filter you said includes the taxonomy or category query with your snipped from higher on the page, but — depending on how I tweaked it — I either got the same results as using Victoria’s whole filter or your whole filter.
So, any other direction you could give me would be very much appreciated. Again, it seems like tweaking your filter — https://kriesi.at/support/topic/entry-slider-event-calender/#post-992681 — to somehow preserve the taxonomy queries in the Blog Posts elements would be idea… but what do I know ;).
Thanks for sticking with this — lmk if you have any other questions for me.
Thanks again, Ismael. It looked to me like maybe you meant for me to only use the bigger snippet in step 2 of that post, right? Or were you thinking I also need to do steps 1 and 3 (add that smaller snippet, create /shortcodes in my child theme and copy the files from /enfold/config-templatebuilder/avia-shortcodes/blog into that folder)?
I tried just adding the bigger snippet from step 2, and it kind of worked, but it seemed to be pulling in all upcoming events (ie, I seemed to lose my custom taxonomy query — the main reason I’m using the blog element), and the featured images were missing. I tried including steps 1 and 3, but that broke the site.
But then I tried your snippet higher on the page — https://kriesi.at/support/topic/entry-slider-event-calender/#post-992681 — and that actually came really close. The featured images were working, and it didn’t seem to be pulling in as many events, but I still lost the custom taxonomy query. Is there maybe a way to modify your snipped to preserve my custom taxonomy queries in my Blog Posts elements (note, the queries are unique to specific pages on the site — ie, the events on https://gobeyondhomes.org/property/camino-del-mar/ are different than on https://gobeyondhomes.org/property/crescent-arms/).
Again, everything is already working in my events lists — I’m just looking for a way to hide past events.
Thanks again and lmk if you have other questions.
Oh, thanks, sorry — I had tried that, but it seemed like it wasn’t working — but I just tried again and it does seem to be working now, so I guess I just did something wrong the first time. OK, great, thanks!!! Feel free to close this thread.
Epic, man — you killed it — thank you!!! Now, is there any way for me to get that in my child theme?
Hey, thanks, Ismael, but I’m afraid this might be over my head. I’m looking at that includes > loop-index.php, around 233, and wondering: how is the tribe event date (as opposed to the post publish date) being called there? You know what I mean? The tribe event date is showing in these posts (at the bottom of https://gobeyondhomes.org/property/camino-del-mar/ for example) — so is that tribe meta somehow being displayed via that blog meta output in line 235 of the loop index?
Also, if I try to just copy/paste that function from the tribe site into either the loop index or my child theme functions file, I get a critical error. But it seems to me that event time should somehow already be available in Enfold, since it displays in that Upcoming Events element — know what I mean? Shouldn’t I be able to sort of repurpose the code that generates the tribe event date and time for the Upcoming Events element and use it in the Blog Element?
Sorry, I know it’s probably my lack of proficiency in php that’s preventing me from understanding, but if you can offer any other clues, I sure would appreciate it.
Sure thing — site and credentials are in the private field, and the compression settings were already disabled; still are. Of course WLM is currently disabled, so I can work on the site — so you’ll have to enable that plugin, to see the issue. Thanks and lmk if you have other questions.
Thanks, but apparently I don’t know enough php to make those things show up — if I just drop in the_excerpt(), for example, the excerpt for the post in which I’m displaying the events shows up, but not the excerpts for the events themselves. Any chance you could at least get me started on those events excerpt and permalink snippets? Thanks again.
Sorry — you can scratch that question — I just noticed that, if I go into Media Translation and manually copy those images to the Spanish translation, they show up. And then I easily found an answer for how to automatically do that for all media: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/media-translation/#media-translation-settings — so, I think I’m all set on this one! Thanks, anyway!
Thanks, but it’s too much shortcode — the client would have too much trouble making updates — same with the Content Slider. I need something where I can use the ALE, like the Tab Section element — that’d be perfect, if I could just keep the sidebar. Oh well, I’ll try to figure out something else. Thanks anyway.
