One note, this plug-in instantly breaks with Enfold, as it tried to insert itself as a replacement for any editor interface.
I just figured it out. Someone had somehow put in a WordPress Editor plugin. It was disabling the editor interface. I have no idea who installed this. I am really sorry for the trouble.

As a side note, the slider appears to also have issues with some installations of Enfold 3.8.5 as well. That was part of what we were in the middle of determining and realizing without our own testing. In instances of it breaking overnight for those running 3.8.5, it seems to have switched the way the images load to require https, and then the browser throws an error on the transaction (on certain browsers) and you get a broken slider as well.
Does LayerSlider perform micro-updates at any point, aside from normal updates through the theme install/update mechanism?
Thank you Yigit and Vinay for chiming in. It is appreciated.
I agree that the issue is not one of desire to close tickets, but a necessity due to the technology/process. This has happened many, many times in the past and it has cost customers and your team on all levels. I would like to ask you to consider that while this forum worked in the beginning, it is not conducive to a large community and ticket system rolled up into one solution. We need a way to communicate without it making it impossible for you to manage the issues at hand. I think it would also allow everyone to better see how an active community can actually reduce your ticket load significantly. It also gives the opportunity to do more fact-finding and user-case scenario building for future development, gives people a better avenue to show their Enfold creations and also ways to customize and take things to the next level and inspire others to do the same.
I guess what it boils down to is that most of the frustration stems from people that are as passionate as your team about Enfold, but finding a hard time when their passion hits a technological brick wall. In many ways, it is a huge sign of success for your team and what you built with Enfold, but now it is time for a new tool to take it to the next level.
If it were related solely to the theme update, it would not explain why some of our sites that were still running 3.8.5 all broke overnight. I think this is indeed related to LayerSlider, which was probably updated when you updated your Enfold parent theme. I am wondering if LayerSlider is using some sort of microupdate feed that updated all of the sliders with a bug. It would explain how both of us could have same or similar issues, yet be on different theme versions. I am guessing Kriesi’s team is waiting for any answer from LayerSlider as well.
Is it trying to pull images from https? That is what broke for us. All previously created sliders started making the imagery load via https, while rest of the page loads in regular. When I recreated the slides from scratch with imagery from the library, it went back to loading standard, rather than https.
Is your’s trying to pull the images from https?
Are you running latest Enfold? We are still on 3.8.5 with WP 4.7.2. Seems to have happened overnight, yet cannot figure out what changed overnight. Turned off all the plug-ins that have background updates (WordFence, JetPack) temporarily, but does not solve the issue. It is almost like it was timed somehow, since so many are experiencing it.
Update: We ended up rebuilding one of our sliders and found that it worked. Not sure what the underlying cause it, but it would appear we do have a workaround, albeit a time-consuming one. Please share if anyone uncovers the root cause of this bug.
I can say that it is breaking, even without the update. For us, LayerSlider seems to have switched to wanting images via ssl, which throws a browser error and a broken image icon for some.
Need to know how widespread this is, as we have a ton of licenses and sites running Enfold.
Sweet! I will look forward to installing and testing tonight or tomorrow. Lots to look forward to from the change log.
-jasonWe saw a break like this for a plug-in not too long ago. Did 4.0 start requiring a newer version of php by chance? That was what undid the other plug-in.
Thank you very much for this! The site we were going to use this for is using a different solution at the moment, but I am eager to try this on our testing site within the next week or so. Thank you for developing this.
It would be really cool to put this in the code snippets section, as it could be helpful to many developers
Thanks again!.
Also, we have disabled almost all plug-ins one-by-one to makes sure none of them are the cause. All WordPress components are up to date, with exception of the newest Enfold. We were just waiting to make sure there were no immediate issues and have a chance to test for compatibility on our testing site first. So at this point, it seems to be narrowed down to WordPress and.or Enfold.
After further testing (trying to disprove other theories), we can confirm it seems to be level-based. Admins always get access to the bar, whereas logging in under any other user level redirects the user to the home page, sans the admin bar. We have tested this in various browsers (Chrome on Mac and Windows, Safari on Mac and iOS, Windows Edge, Windows IE).
After more research and testing, it seems to focus on the level of access. Admins always show the bar (on Mac), but below that, does not seem to show for others. This includes Macs as well.
Note: Please do not disable any plug-ins without checking, first.
Hi Ismael,
I can understand where you are coming from, but would like to point out an issue that happens that lets viewers fall through the cracks: large tablets and television displays.
Because some tablets either have high resolution displays and/or are large in size, the typical media queries used to show mobile menus fail to display, yet because the navbar does not drop-down, they have to click thought every single layer of a menu, page by page. Also, as televisions become displays more and more, we are seeing the same issue. I worry that the singular approach of media width queries does not address the button state changes at all resolutions.
That all said, I would be curious to know what you and the team plan as these types of displays become more of the norm than the exception. We are already at that crossroads here and would like to have some sort of idea on what the road forward can be.
Sorry, I can see how it probably does not sound clear. I was talking about button state control. On desktops, there are multiple states of a button, allowing for hoer, click, active, etc. Because mobiles and tablets have button states that are more in tune with either on or off, a menu drop-down fails to work on mobile or tablet platforms.
I have seen it where that menu will switch to being an onHover display to an onClick display. I cannot remember where I saw it. I swore it was done on an Enfold-based site. Can there be a function that replaces the button states when it senses a mobile or tablet platform?
We just ran into this as well. Need to display the post grid and have stickies at the beginning. Not even sure ho I can hack it to get both in the same place. In this case, a city needs an official notice to stay at the front of the list for 6 weeks. Not sure why it is not possible, as it is part of the basic WP themes. Otherwise, people with these needs have to either give up a nice, ordered system, or make a separate grid area and have a bunch of awkward space (trapped white space).
Why can’t there be a checkbox to search first sticky posts, then display remainder in selected order?
This is starting to appear on our sites as well. Some do indeed have SSL, but some do not. They get the same error. Just started happening about a month ago. Trying to get some sort of pattern to figure out the cause. Flushing cache does not seem to solve it. Switching browsers does not seem to solve it, either. I can send screenshots of two browsers on one machine, both hitting the same editor page and getting the same error, even after flushing cache. The screenshots are coming from sites now using ssl as a default transport layer. I am working at getting screenshots of the same error on another site that is using ssl and experiencing the same issues.
My apologies. I will not bump anything anymore. Sometimes it is hard to tell when you see lots of other tickets processed and the one you submitted is a couple days out. I just did not want to have it drop through the cracks.
As far as custom coding, I sure wish there was a basic how-to on some of the more advanced items like building modules. I say this because it would start a whole new level of customization that will show even more capabilities for Enfold. In the past, we have contacted several organizations for customization of Enfold, but every single time they come back extremely expensive, far, far, far more than other theme customization. Before the sort order was added as a choice in the modal windows, one developer wanted over $5,000. I found out through searching that it was a matter of a few basic tweaks and it worked like a charm. That is why many of us stopped going to custom developers like Werkpress and others.
There are many of us that would love to build-upon Enfold and would even share what we build with others. I just wish there was a conduit for that. We have lots of licenses and it would help us help you sell lots more. You have a motivated audience that reveres what you built and are wanting to take it even further. The blanket statement of go find a developer generally ends up with no one doing anything, except living with how it exists. Instead, you could have a whole new mid-level development audience that is furthering in areas that go unfilled now.
Here you go. Really simple. I just want the sum of the icon buttons centered. If I could only wrap them in a div, I could easily handle it in css, but I just cannot find a way to grab hold of them, since the centered alignment option does not seem to work.
Hey, quick follow-up question…
I really wanted the whole line of icons centered, but when selecting center justification, it wants to put them all on separate rows. Am I missing something simple?
