  • in reply to: Cant use Elementor #1366915

    Combining two page builders on one site is incredibly hard to do. The reason is that there is so much code that goes into builders and their capabilities, that it is very hard to cross populate them with data. I know it is not what you want to hear, but after years of development, I have found that extracting your content, normalizing it, and then inserting it into a fresh site with whatever builder is a far faster approach than trying to meld the two together. Melding is best left to Vulcans. Just my crazy opinion, though.

    Rikard, Ismael, et al

    We really need better guides for CPTs in general. I know you have some helpful steps, but unless I am missing it somewhere, there is very little regarding showing metadata in a way that makes it easy for non-hard-core programmers. There is a ton for Elementor, Beaver Builder, etc., but beyond a couple really limited examples, there is nothing like your other guides.

    Someone once offered to build a guide for Enfold, but was all-but shot down that it was not needed. These posts keep coming up because it IS NEEDED. Guenni is Awesome and jumps in to help constantly, but people have to dive into the forums to find any help. If someone could create a comprehensive guide for these two areas, it would do SO MUCH service to this Enfold community.

    Please.

    in reply to: Update on ACF support #1366827

    I am so incredibly frustrated with trying to get CPT and ACF to work within Enfold.

    All I wanted was simple Colors CPT, with a field group from ACF to display within a normal page as a grid of colors, and one the single cpt post as the detail record.

    I have spent nearly two days trying to figure out how to get anything more than the Colors CPT to show. Looking through the few forums entries referencing CPTUI and ACF has yielded me pulling my hair out.

    Why does it have to be this $%^&*( complicated?
    Displaying Meta content should NOT be this hard.

    I have messed with the child theme (Spark) functions, tried more shortcake combinations than lines of CSS, and rebuilt things more times than I care to admit.

    I try not to bug anyone here until I have exhausted every other option, but really need some help to get this working.

    Also, is there a way to better control the look and feel of the Search Results page itself? I would like to turn off the side bar for that, but am not sure where those settings re being pulled from.

    That works perfectly, Mike!

    Could that be considered for inclusion within an update? It i hard to think of a reason why a shortcode should not be parsed in a displayable field, at lest in our opinion.

    Thank you!

    in reply to: Simple way to add to a post grid #1362244

    Hi Guenni!

    You are actually pretty close, I think. The first link I had showed a Featured image overlay on anything that was categorized/field value featured. I think your example does very much the same thing, but obviously not all listings would have that badge (which would be easy).

    Does this help to explain?

    in reply to: WooCommerce Product Grid image choice? #1362029

    Yes, everything that can be set to an un-cropped value has been.

    Thank you so much for linking to the other posts. The solution you provided works perfectly for us, too!

    Thank you!

    Is there any way you can think of to figure out what broke and how that one plugin could affect a site in such peculiar ways?

    in reply to: Blog Entries not showing #1353818

    OK, big update! If you are running Events Calendar Pro / Events Calendar, go check for an update! Not sure why, but doing that update fixed nearly everything that broke. I am working to get answers, but wanted to share.

    Ok, so, this just got more interesting!

    Looks like Event Calendar Pro just pushed a maintenance update. Because we were seeing issues related, I figured we would just see what happened.

    The update FIXED almost everything! Not sure what caused it and we may never know, but after that update, the post grid works. Permalinks are back working.

    in reply to: Blog Entries not showing #1353815

    Seeing the same problems on WP 5.9.3. Not sure if it is related, but same output.

    Update… I wanted you to know as you might look at it that I am making changes and trying to find a way to get it back working. At this point, I am essentially trying to find a way to at least get the content visible.

    I was finally able to get the masonry element to show, after cloning it again from the working page, but the look is not ideal for the purpose. I will continue to try to discern what is happening and update it here.

    in reply to: Easy way to make footer more responsive? #1348143

    Update: I think I figured it out. In the documentation, there is a css snippet for making the footer full width, but it does not really do much, unless it is a single-column footer, which most footers are not. So, I added div in the selector and it now performs as desired. Feel free to adjust the documentation to help others that might be facing similar issues with mobile footer display.

    /* Full width footer columns */
    @media only screen and (max-width: 767px) {
    #footer .container div {
    width: 100vw;
    max-width: 100%!important;
    } }

    in reply to: Hard to find documentation #1347192

    Any update to this?

    Thank you, Ismael. The last part was what I was looking for. It sounded like things were changing in the recent past as to how Enfold handled CPTs, so before digging into a potentially deep project, I wanted to make sure I was in line with the best practices for Enfold compatibility.

    Nikko, Thank You! I cannot believe I missed that!

    in reply to: Embedding Sub Navbar element on WooCommerce #1343910

    I had to do a bunch of css work to fix the issue.

    I still would be very interested in seeing a method to accomplish this as a main menu, rather than as a shortcode attached subnavbar element. Can there be some consideration for making the main nav its own for formatting? Currently, it resides within the Header element, which means it affects the entire header along with the navbar. For those using navbars below the logo, it would be really useful to be able to style that element on its own.

    Hope this helps!

    Hi, Rikard!

    I eventually find it, after searching and searching, but for someone that knows the Kriesi site, that may be ok, but for new users, which I think we all want more Enfold users, they’d have absolutely no idea where to look. We can do better than that. If we really want to kick things up a bit, here are some places that I think would really benefit both new users and seasoned ones.

    Intro screen for those first installing Enfold. Include a welcome, links to Docs, Tutorials, Snippets, and Examples for those looking for a creative kick-start.

    Add a Help tab to the Theme Options, with links to the various areas. Make it able to be disabled, for those with embedded solutions using Enfold, but on by default.

    Support Navbar link should NOT go straight to the forums. It makes users feel like they always have to look through volumes of information to solve what might be a quick answer to a question. It also makes support staff the central focus, rather than giving people and opportunity to quickly find what might be their solution, or lead them in the right direction.

    Support should be drop-down, with individual links to Documentation, Tutorials, Examples, Integrations, Latest Release (links to release notes), Forums, and direct link to Ask a Question.

    Demos should link to page that displays Demo content, but also great examples of Enfold used in the wild. With themes like Elementor getting massive national press, the least we can do is showcase some of the best and most innovative Enfold-driven websites. Lastly, a link to submit your own site for showcasing. I know it is in the forums, but do you really want people to have to dig to showcase an Enfold site?

    Let’s come up with a real and working solution for integrations. How may “Does Enfold work with…” questions do you get? There are a ton of us that regularly use sets of plugins that we know either work out-of-the-box or have created ways to integrate them. Let’s build a repository of those and spur on a new group of integrations. If we don’t call it out, how can we ever expect to make that “works with…” list longer? We want it so those products that we integrate look to promote Enfold as a great option for utilizing their solutions. We also need a way to suggest or request an integration.

    Also, is there any way to funnel the other Kriesi-based theme users into the Enfold trunk and simplify the support, enhancement and growth of Enfold as a platform, rather than just a theme? Would it be worth considering offering a license of Enfold to any other Kriesi theme user to encourage switching to the Enfold platform? It may cost a few sales, but at the same time, it gets them into a highly versatile platform that keeps growing, and might just spur on their creative spirits to do new things with Enfold. Just a crazy thought.

    I know I am asking for you all to add more work to your plates, but at the same time, I would be happy to help on some of it. We all want Enfold to continue to grow and flourish, but we have to also be willing to put effort into the Kriesi site to support those sales, support and promotional efforts. It also will help users in ways that will alleviate some service and support issues before they even get to the forums.

    I guess the bottom line is let’s work together as a community to showcase Enfold, grow our audience, which drives sales, which drives the ability to do even greater things.

    in reply to: Embedding Sub Navbar element on WooCommerce #1340327

    Thank you again. I think it was a plugin conflict, even though it should not have been.

    So, I took your suggested code for adding the subnavbar to the shop pages global, as it looks more in line with the client’s content site. It looks nice, but has an odd issue on the store main page — it kicks the sidebar down below the product loop. Am I missing something obvious to avoid this? Here is the code I adapted from your’s.

    add_action(“woocommerce_before_main_content”, function() {
    $menu = do_shortcode(“[av_submenu which_menu='' menu='23' position='center' sticky='aviaTBsticky' color='footer_color' mobile='disabled' mobile_switch='av-switch-768' alb_description='' id='subnav' custom_class='subnav' template_class='' av_uid='av-ndlzm' sc_version='1.0'] [av_submenu_item title='Menu Item 1' button_style='' link='' linktarget='' av_uid='av-gg26y' sc_version='1.0'] [av_submenu_item title='Menu Item 2' button_style='' link='' linktarget='' av_uid='av-ba2z6' sc_version='1.0'][/av_submenu]“);
    echo “<div class=’av-shop-sub-nav’>” . $menu . “</div>”;
    }, 10);

    Beyond the sidebar issue, it brings me to wonder if there would be any way to achieve this as the primary navbar? I have tried and as you know with all the sites we do, we have experimented with lots of designs and customizations. But, what is getting me is how to have two separate color sections: one for the header and one for the navbar. It sounds easy, and maybe it is, but for the life of me, the process is eluding me.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks again for all of the help!

    in reply to: Embedding Sub Navbar element on WooCommerce #1338975

    Okay, so I have been digging into this more and more. Does Enfold save the short description field in a different place, like it does for post content in the meta table?

    in reply to: Embedding Sub Navbar element on WooCommerce #1338967

    Oops, this is the function WooCommerce offers to allow shortcodes in the descriptions…

    Allow shortcodes in product excerpts

    /**
    * Allow shortcodes in product excerpts
    */
    if (!function_exists(‘woocommerce_template_single_excerpt’)) {
    function woocommerce_template_single_excerpt( $post ) {
    global $post;
    if ($post->post_excerpt) echo ‘<div itemprop=”description”>’ . do_shortcode(wpautop(wptexturize($post->post_excerpt))) . ‘</div>’;
    }
    }

    in reply to: Embedding Sub Navbar element on WooCommerce #1338966

    Thank you! That works beautifully!

    Sorta related question. Is there anything within Enfold/Avia that would strip shortcodes from a product short description field? I have used the function WooCommerce gives to allow shortcodes in them, but something continues to strip any/all shortcodes/code out of the field upon save/update.

    I forgot to note that I have done a re-install of both WP (in-place) and Enfold (fresh copy + saved settings).

    in reply to: WooCommerce image sizes #1254217

    Ok, so I think I figured part of it out. I was looking for what was manipulating the images to 400×400, but what was affecting them first was WooCommrce setting them to 300×300.

    I would suggest that it might be beneficial to place a link in the Enfold settings that links to the Customizer for WooCommerce. I can see where it would be very confusing for a new Enfold / WooCommerce user to go in circles looking for why their images are blurry. It threw me off, and I have been working with Enfold for a very long time now.

    What I still do not know, though, is what is trying to resize to 400×400. I wish we could just override all of the settings and choose an image size directly within the enfold Product Grid element. It would be far more consistent with other ALB elements that have this functionality.
