I forgot to add, this is a WP 4.5.1 install with the latest Enfold 3.5.4, running with a child theme. The child theme has a function added allowing elements to have css classes. Otherwise, it is a stock install.
I agree. For those not wanting to use Google fonts, it inserts extra code and overhead that is not needed. Plus, it also portrays the effect of there being no other choices than Google Fonts, when there are many. In my opinion, if Enfold is to support custom fonts, it needs to do so in a way that is agnostic, or else leave it to plug-ins completely. Just my opinion, but the same issues keep coming up year after year and we need a better solution than just hacking things to make them work.
I just defined the fonts manually in the child theme css file, but this can be done in the quick css area as well.
This is what I used in this one case, but your’s will vary, based upon the typeface you are using.
body {
font-family: “colosseum”,sans-serif !important;
font-style: normal !important;
font-weight: 300 !important;
}h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {
font-family: “colosseum” !important,sans-serif;
font-style: normal !important;
font-weight: 500 !important;
}It is really frustrating to have to do these things in functions when they used to be easier in the settings. Why can’t we just have options to disable it, period? The code above did not work until I hard coded the css with important tags.
Has there been any movement on having the ability to filter by tags (either visually or through shortcode)?
Every one of the example pages that were listed under pages that should work is exhibiting the redirect to the home page issue. I just re-verified each of them. I will get login details shortly.
I respectfully, but wholeheartedly disagree. There is no way to tell what conflicts people (purchasers of Enfold) are seeing, nor how people are working around them.
Case in point. How about 4.1.1? 4.1 took a bit and there was confusion on compatibility. Is it really that hard to have a single place in the forum that talks about compatibility? We’re not asking you to create a compatibility chart for every single version of WP and Enfold going back to 1. We are just asking for a current version or two compatibility. Just saying a version gives NO discovery, no insight, no reproducibility, nothing, just a version number.
With the assault on WP from a security standpoint, we need as much information as possible. When WP comes out with a new version, people should not have to scour the forums to know what works and what does not. There are a lot of us with tons of installs we are managing that would be happy to provide quick feedback, but would also relish in the fact of a single place to know what to expect.
We are the people in the trenches out here, selling and supporting your themes. We’re asking for a little tool to help us help you. If it were a huge ordeal, I would not have asked. But this is a simple sticky post that pertains to one subject – compatibility.
Are you running any plug-ins that add widget ares? There are a lot of plug-ins that add widget-areas (aka sidebars). When you look at your widget areas, do you see anything you did not create that are not from Enfold?
Best way we have found is to create a set in Google to refer to. That is where they pull all of their fonts. I wish we could get them to consider other type sources, but at the moment, the best place to look for your font list is Google fonts.
Wonderful, thank you!
If I wanted to not use the socket as a menu (in traditional sense), and instead put several pop-ups in it, is there a good way to achieve this? There is traditional navigation at the top, and at the bottom, we want to use navigation that answers questions like:
I need: (pop-up 1)
Find a specific service: (pop-up 2)
Get Involved with: (pop-up 3)I know this could get involved, but any chance you could get me started on the right step?
Actually, I think I misunderstood the footer menu in the first place. I was hoping it was a floating footer (at the bottom of the screen always). So, that said, not sure if it is not working, though it does not appear to show with it selected anywhere.
Is there any way to achieve a floating menu at the bottom of the screen.
Simple.
I would like to know how to build content and media elements for use within the avia page builder. We needed a couple simple modifications for the masonry view, so it actually displayed items in the correct order and Werkpress came back with $150/hour. That might be okay for large corporations, but for smaller projects, it is crazy. While I could dig in an learn by example, I was asking if there were guides, so that people could start to expand the capabilities of Enfold’s avia page builder. One of the best ways to make something indispensable is to make it extensible, so it can fit into anyone’s needs, much in the same way as the Avia page builder did for WordPress themes when it came out. I want to take it further.
Understood.
Then here is what I need help with. How can I have a single instance (child element?) of a avia element (full-width-masonry) that has specific needs, without it affecting all of the occurrences of full-width-masonry). This way, if custom development was made, it could be limited to one instance and therefore keep the frameworks intact.
My biggest dilemma is that to achieve this minor change, I run the risk of making the theme un-updatable. Tribe points me to Kriesi, while you point me to Tribe. I know it is not meant to catch me in the middle, but it does. Surely, there has to be a solution to this without it completely breaking the frameworks both companies have built.
So, my question is how am I able to get a listing like this?
Is there a way to edit the element/function for an instance or duplicate it so I can affect it without affecting all instances of the full-width masonry element?
On a different note, my curiosity is if events are supported by the theme, would it not make sense to be able to sort by an event’s date? Otherwise, nothing would ever be in order, unless you either faked a post date, which could mess up all functionality or let things flow willy-nilly. I guess I just does not make sense to me that event dates had anything to do with a post date. The two are completely different types of dates for completely different needs.
I got a few things figured out, but still having a heck of a time with the navbar. I really wish there was an easier way to specify font sizing, coloration and style. Case in point, I need a font in black weight (900), but I have not been able to find any way to achieve this in the navbar, even with the above.
I need to specify the navbar font, size, color, style and weight. For some reason, Enfold wants to insert its own color schemes (tint of orange selected in the Enfold style menus. It also refuses to let me specify the weight.
Navbar needs to be Myriad-Pro font-size: 16px, font-weight: 900. I want the navbar (main) to be in normal state color #ffdcbd. In hover and active state: color: #ff7700; background-color: #fff; text-decoration: underline;
Navbar drop-down items need to be similar: normal state: font-weight: 900; font-size: 14px; color: #ff7700; background-color: #fff.
In hover/active states: color: #cc4400; text-decoration: underline;We really need a better way, and we are willing to pay for a more advanced admin, if offered. That, or a cheat sheet for css elements. Enfold is so deep that it is hard to find what controls what without having selectors a mile long. We want to really push what Enfold can do, because it is an amazingly powerful platform (beyond just a theme). Maybe that is more of a way of asking for a Pro version of this theme, which we again would be very happy to purchase. I don’t care if it is $200. A good platform is the foundation for any website.
Understood. I was not sure if you would still see them if they got lost deeper in the list. My apologies.
Thank you very much for the help. This did it. It was more of choosing the right selector, I think. I would like to request two things in the future, if possible.
An easier selector for the main menu. While being as dynamic as it is, I still think there has to be an easier way to select it, especially for doing transformations like these.
Secondly, What would it take to convince your company to support TypeKit out of the box? Menus and all? Give us a chance to show you it would be worthwhile. How many hours of time to implement it and how many themes sold it would take to justify it. Let’s see if we can make it happen on both our sides.
