Solved :)

by copying the function to my child theme and adding an extra check to see if a post exists and if not putput dummy << >> links that dont click

I also had to add the taxonomy name in the single-portfolio.php and to tell it to keep in same category only

echo avia_post_nav(true,'case-studies');

if(!function_exists('avia_post_nav'))
{
	function avia_post_nav($same_category = false, $taxonomy = 'category')
	{
		global $wp_version;
	        $settings = array();
	        $settings['same_category'] = $same_category;
	        $settings['excluded_terms'] = '';
			$settings['wpversion'] = $wp_version;
        
		//dont display if a fullscreen slider is available since they overlap 
		if((class_exists('avia_sc_layerslider') && !empty(avia_sc_layerslider::$slide_count)) || 
			class_exists('avia_sc_slider_full') && !empty(avia_sc_slider_full::$slide_count) ) $settings['is_fullwidth'] = true;

		$settings['type'] = get_post_type();
		//if ($taxonomy) {
			//$settings['taxonomy'] = $taxonomy;
		//} else {
			$settings['taxonomy'] = ($settings['type'] == 'portfolio') ? 'portfolio_entries' : $taxonomy;
		//}

		if(!is_singular() || is_post_type_hierarchical($settings['type'])) $settings['is_hierarchical'] = true;
		if($settings['type'] === 'topic' || $settings['type'] === 'reply') $settings['is_bbpress'] = true;

	        $settings = apply_filters('avia_post_nav_settings', $settings);
	        if(!empty($settings['is_bbpress']) || !empty($settings['is_hierarchical']) || !empty($settings['is_fullwidth'])) return;
	
	        if(version_compare($settings['wpversion'], '3.8', '>=' ))
	        {
	            $entries['prev'] = get_previous_post($settings['same_category'], $settings['excluded_terms'], $settings['taxonomy']);
	            $entries['next'] = get_next_post($settings['same_category'], $settings['excluded_terms'], $settings['taxonomy']);
	        }
	        else

Hi guys
Can see you logged in a few times… any ideas? I have to get this site finished and live over weekend :)

If not then maybe I can make those accordions in to lightboxes that pop up instead.

thanks
Jonathan

thanks so much (login supplied)

Hi Elliot

Thanks for the quick reply and yes weirdly that css no longer worked with the updated theme and I also had to set the overall site width and also remove 50px padding from .container so guess there were some changes from pre to post enfold 3.0

If I disabled plugin (Advanced Post Types Order) then that problem goes away with the portfolio grid not showing on certain taxonomies…. so unless you know of any conflicts with enfold and that plugin ill try to email the plugin author as weird its only happening on certain queries

thanks
Jonathan

Thank you.

And if I did want to change the default page template in my child theme would I need to copy page.php or index.php from the enfold page template files?

It’s my homepage I’d want to clone

Beautiful – that works – THANK YOU :)

SUPERB – thanks guys for the great support ! :)

Hi
Thanks for the quick reply and I can see how that might work with a fixed height slider but we are using the full screen slider so the height changes on all screen sizes….

Any ideas?
