Hi Ismael,
I was trying various methods to get it to work. I did try separate widgets and combined widgets. They both try to load the footer formatting and it also closed the element before the code is finished.
I was very interested in getting some guidance on creating Avia Elements like what was done for Events Calendar Pro, but have not had much luck getting any guidance to that end. I ended up hiring a developer that has experience modifying these elements, but wish there was a better way to create them. There is so much opportunity to grow the capabilities of Enfold, if we had a better developer resource. This is why other platforms have success, because they allow for extensibility. Visual Composer, Gutenberg, Avada, Beaver Builder, etc., all welcome development of new modules. Please, give us the capability to build upon the platform we love, so we don’t have to eventually look elsewhere.
We have been asking for years to either have a Pro version of Enfold that has more capabilities or the option of creating our own elements, but at this point, we are watching other frameworks grow by leaps and bounds while Enfold is still limited to only what you want to build into it. We love Enfold, and promote it every single chance we can, but the arguments that we used to have that Enfold had so much more and was so much easier are getting less and less compared to other frameworks. We want you back on top. Please.
I know I am pushing you, but it is only because we want to see Enfold do incredible things again.
Thank you for the starting point. Is there an example Avia Element template? Who and how was the Events Calendar Pro element built? Did they build it, or was it built there?
I would much rather you see things are they are before me making changes, so I have included access for you.
It would be awesome to find a solution, because Enfold, Events Calendar Pro, GeoDirectory and Gravity Forms are the most important tools across any site I build. With all of them, almost anything is possible. Enfold and css have always been the thing that brings everything together.
Thank you for all of the help and insight,
-jasonHi Ismael,
Here is what is odd. I completely disabled all plugins the other night. Every last one except Classic Editor, but that line of code still was in there.
<script type=’text/javascript’ src=’//maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?’></script>
I am going to continue to search for the cause of this, but I have a bigger question… How are these plugins supposed to work together at this point? They used to without issue, but not now. If someone needs the functionality of these plugins, it seems like a no-win scenario. I have to believe there is a viable solution to this, because there is no way we are the only ones utilizing multiple plugins with Google Maps API calls. I love the Google Maps integration for Enfold, but I also need the integration to show location maps for GeoDirectory and Events Calendar Pro. These are not small-audience plugins, they are widely used ones, like Enfold. The problem is that each developer involved just says to disable the other ones. As usual, Google is absolutely no help.
I removed my reply, because my response was with a lot of frustration. It would not allow me to delete the response entirely, or I would have. I should have left a different message, I apologize.
I posted in my previous responses some of the very answers Vinnay was requesting. I said at the beginning of the thread I am used to doing this and had done the normal troubleshooting. The problem did not occur on older versions of Enfold. I cannot pin down exactly what version it changed, but will try to do some more investigating today to get detailed answers.
I will work to compose a better response later this morning.
In the mean time, can you ask if there is a function to remove the GoogleMaps API call from the normal Enfold page load?
Yes, billing is all setup, and it works on other sites. This is the first case where Enfold is not passing through the api key variable, as I showed in the screenshot. The plugin is loading it first and then Enfold, which is not putting in the key correctly. Disabling the plugin does not change anything.
I think I am going to use Uber, but would still like to know what the selector is for getting the whole div of the main navbar dropdown.
Hi Basilis,
Would it make sense to loop in the developers of WHMCS Bridge? They seem to be open to integration and it might yield an easier process if they were a part of the discussion. Would you like me to reach out to them?
Let me know and I would be happy to do that legwork.
-jasonRichard, were you ever able to figure out how to integrate Enfold and WHMCS? I have looked at doing the same, but run into similar issues. It would be very cool if there were some way to get these two systems to work together. Our hosting website is the only site we have developed over the past seven years that is not running on Enfold and we would love to use Enfold for that, too, as the theme is perfect for it.
Rikard, I know it would require time and resources, but it sure would be nice to see if this were possible. I would not want an external developer working on it, as I want to make sure it maintains compatibility with Enfold down the road, especially as WP goes through its changes. What would it take to show it would be worth the development investment for Christian? For all of those that are developing with Enfold, being able to close the loop and say that hosting websites promoting Enfold are also running on it. Having to compromise and use lesser themes is incredibly frustrating, especially after knowing how Enfold would be perfect for this task.
I try really hard not to ask a lot (aside from a more expensive Pro version of Enfold), but as you know I have a fair amount of licenses, I am asking you to thoughtfully consider helping us make this work. It would mean a lot to those of us not only using Enfold, but also actively promoting it and developing with it.

Thank you, Ismael.
My only worry with this type of solution is if it breaks during updates. I have always favored function-level adaptations, but if this is the only way to achieve functionality, I will work to implement it this way.
I really would like to see this functionality fixed in future versions. It is what keeps us from using the Magazine element on a regular basis.
I could not get this to work, either, using the function provided. Was there are changes made since this post to accomodate the ability to use linked posts in magazine view?
Understood completely. Sorry, probably way more confusing than it needs to be. I was hoping for it to be centered under each primary item, but when I was not able to get that to work with css, I figured I would try to justify it left. At that point, I then realized since every item is a different length, it was not going to line up on the left edges.
Does that help, or further confuse?! Maybe I will try to mock it up later on today or tonight.
Yes, you can see this at the following url in the private content area.
I manually positioned the text to try to move it back left under the primary navbar item.
#avia-menu > li > a:after {
content: attr(title);
position: absolute;
top: 15px;
left: 12px;
color: #00add8;
font-size: .75em
}I have been testing various plugins for months and frankly, most of them have so many issues that it makes it hard to put any faith in them. This is why I really wanted a better option for Enfold. I can count on Enfold. It does not fail me. Switching Team over to a CPT would add so much value to the theme, no matter what type of organization using it.
I still want a Pro-level version of Enfold. I don’t care if it is $300/license. Show us what you can really do when you have a little more budget to work with! If you can make it more extensible with the Avia elements, I might even pay $500/license (and maybe $100/year support). It is worth it to have a solution like Enfold that really pushes the limits.
You have lots of people like me that are not afraid to spend more for Enfold. What do we have to do to convince you? The money is there, if you create us a Pro-level Enfold. We have been begging you for it for years now. Give us something that is as revolutionary as Enfold was when it came out.
Please Christian, and team. The need is there. Those willing to pay are there. No one else is doing it. Set the new high bar.
Tell us what it will take to convince you.
One thing I notice is that the justification being left, makes it hard to backspace the subhead text to the correct position. Have you found any ways to get those edges even, so they are consistent throughout an entire navbar when the items are not all exactly the same length?
I am assuming you mean the primary navigation. If so, yes, top. We will utilize side navigation for sub-sections of the site, but that does not need to have the the styles applied.
I ended up just manually upgrading it from the backside. If it happens again, I will let you know. We are also the host, so I can confirm it was not the issue, as we could do Enfold updates from other sites without issue.
Thank you for the quick response.
This should not be buried in an answer to another question. It should be front and center to everyone, as it has HUGE implications. The 4.2.7 update has more prominence, yet Gutenberg has the potential to Additionally, it is April and Gutenberg is about to be released. An update would be really nice on where Christian sees the development of Gutenberg and how it impacts Avia.
No, just individual sections. So in one are on the home page, it has a blue filter applied, the rest remain full color.
If you look at the page as it stands, the bottom section applies a filter to those images in the portfolio grid. What I am asking is how to apply this to just one class of portfolio-grid images properly? Otherwise, all portfolio-grids will have the same filter applied. When I have tried to apply stuff to classes before where the dom is thick, it gets really messy. I am curious if there is a better way?
Guenni,
Thank you. This was a different approach than what we have used in the past, and seems to work much better. Thank you so much for both figuring it out, but also offering to share your knowledge and experience. Hopefully, I can repay at some point along the way.
This example might be a good candidate to showcase in the example snippets section of the Enfold support site.
