Sorry, last thing, can I paste it anywhere or specific line? (Last time I added a code in there, it messed up my site)
I have Theme Functions function.php
And function-enfold.phpSo, should I enter ONLY in the theme options functions.php?
Thanks
XandriaHey Elliott,
I think newsletter will require me to send subscribers updates myself. Is there anything to automatically send updates? Also how do people subscribe on a site?

XNHello Andy,
First, thank you for all the help you have been providing.This thread has gone so long that I am sure you have lost the track of what the original problem was and where more problems started.
Well, after all the codes and stuff and all the things that went right and wrong, the only way I had to make it work was to remake blog and news pages because they were not editing anymore. Even the post on news page had to be made again. It upset me a lot because it is waste of time to work on something which was already done .
And it all started when I entered the codes that were sent to me :(
Anyway, thanks for all the help.

XNHey Andy, I didn’t understand what does ‘defining as standard wordpress blog page in Enfold mean’. Can I change it?
Please check my blog page. The text box does not show live and settings in blog post (content element) does not work.

XNAlso, why is my news section showing on blog? the category is set to ‘news’ and it is not included in blog element settings in Avia layout builder. I am really annoyed that the settings of blog element is not working anymore.

It is ‘news’ not blog post. Showing on both.Regards,
XNHello Andy,
I think I wasn’t clear in explaining. I did not write those points to have corrected. I wrote them to tell you that they are now fine AFTER all the codes were inserted. Ismael asked me for site password to clean the codes so I thought I should mention the things that are working now. And they should work the same after whatever you do.
The reason site password was required was to see why the Blog Element’s (which we drag from Avia builder on a page) settings don’t work anymore after all the codes were inserted.
My question was that what is the point of blog element when one has to contact you to have the codes to make things work?
On blog element settings , I chose ‘no pagination’ and yet the pagination was there. I chose ‘ read more and excerpt’ and yet it did not show UNTIL I installed a plugin.
Both the things were there before but after the codes insertion, they disappeared and then further codes were put to have them.
I hope I am making sense here.
I just found out that this Kriesi Support is valid for only 6 month from purchase. That’s sad because there are things that are not user friendly in the theme and I needed you guys to help me with them. Once my 6 month support is over, I am either stuck or I pay 17 dollars for further support, which is costly.
I wish the theme was developed with all those points already.
I hope I am not confusing you.
Regards,
XNHi Andy,
Thank you so much for your support.I have attached the site credentials below. Please before you change anything, keep the following in mind. I have had them done through your codes previously, which led to the current problem. These all exist perfect now. Only problem is that pagination is not required and blog element settings not working. Please leave them intact. I appreciate all your help. Also can you please check why blog element settings don’t work.
Here are the points:
1. blog to have a sidebar with blog categories and archives and combo widget
2. blog categories and tags open with same blog sidebar
3. portfolio categories not have blog sidebar or any sidebar
4. featured image on blog main page to be small thumbnail on the left as single author
5. featured image on categories or tags page to be small too
6. read more link and excerpt on all pages (blog, categories, tags)
7. no paginationThank you so much.
Regards,
XNThank you Ismael for your reply.
I have installed the plugin you recommended. The excerpts and read more links is there now. Thank you. I guess login credentials are not required now.
Only one more thing…all posts categories are showing on blog even those that are the news category and are not suppose to be on the blog. That category is not checked in the blog element. Also pagination is showing.
It looks like the blog element from page builder that I have used to make blog page, is no more effective because none of its settings are applied anymore. Do I have to install another plugin for that? Please inform so I can.
Regards,
XNThank you Rikard for your reply.
Enfold is a WP theme and I suggest it should have those bits of customization that I did through your codes entered in functions.php or Quick CSS. It is very difficult for people like me who do not have php knowledge to handle the changes like this. I wish you all in support team (who are genius in web and theme development) should make the theme more elaborate. It should have more options like the ones I had requested so no one needs to ask for codes.
As for now my issue, I need to know if I have to manually insert more tags then why in the Avia Builder’s blog element there is an option to select ‘read more and excerpt’ ? I don’t understand. It will be so inconvenient to set all the posts and news manually now. I swear when I made this blog on Enfold through blog element of yours, all the posts were automatically having read more link because of the option in settings I selected. (that’s the point of settings.)
I still have a strong feeling that one of the codes sent to me to insert in functions.php messed it up. It is because my ‘read more link’ wasn’t opening after all the codes. Also, when I gave my site credentials to allow you guys to go on my dashboard, something was done (I am not aware of) and BAM… So, read more link disappeared and all the posts opened in full. You have to trust me on this. (I am not trying to be pushy but it’s my gut feeling that it can be fixed.) Ismael even said “Something was missing in the code” on
#516771Ok, today, I will start adding more tag manually BUT I request you humbly (expecting you guys are geniuses) to please fix it.
I am pasting the list of all codes that were sent to me. Just read them here so you don’t have to go through the thread, and see if you find something. Otherwise I am destined to inconvenience of manual insertion.
YOU CAN DO IT. You guys can do anything. It is a small issue.
Here they are: (from this thread: https://kriesi.at/support/topic/blog-categories-6/ )
function change_blog_archive_style() {
global $avia_config;
if(!is_single()){ $avia_config[‘blog_content’] = “excerpt_read_more”; }
}
add_action(‘get_header’, ‘change_blog_archive_style’);function change_blog_archive_style() {
global $avia_config;
$avia_config[‘blog_content’] = “excerpt_read_more”;
}
add_action(‘get_header’, ‘change_blog_archive_style’);(If it’s still not working then add this on line 39 in the /enfold/includes/loop-index.php file.)
function change_blog_archive_style() {
global $avia_config;
$avia_config[‘blog_content’] = “excerpt_read_more”;
}
add_action(‘get_header’, ‘change_blog_archive_style’);if(AviaHelper::builder_status($current_post[‘the_id’]) && !is_singular($current_post[‘the_id’]) && $current_post[‘post_type’] == ‘post’)
{
$current_post[‘post_format’] = ‘standard’;
$blog_content = “excerpt_read_more”;
}add_filter(‘avf_blog_style’,’avia_change_category_blog_layout’, 10, 2);
function avia_change_category_blog_layout($layout, $context){
if($context == ‘archive’) $layout = ‘single-small’;
return $layout;
}add_filter(‘avia_layout_filter’, ‘avia_change_post_layout’, 10, 2);
function avia_change_post_layout($layout, $post_id){
if(is_tax(‘portfolio_entries’)) {
$layout[‘current’] = $layout[“fullsize”];
$layout[‘current’][‘main’] = “fullsize”;
}return $layout;
}add_filter(‘avia_layout_filter’, ‘avia_change_post_layout’, 10, 2);
function avia_change_post_layout($layout, $post_id){
if(is_tax(‘portfolio_entries’) || is_tag()) {
$layout[‘current’] = $layout[“fullsize”];
$layout[‘current’][‘main’] = “fullsize”;
}return $layout;
}(I think above two are culprits)
If nothing can be done then sure I will start manual tags.Thanks a lot for your support.
Regards,
XNThank you Rikard for your reply.
More Tag does work. For new posts, I can always do it easily but there are several old posts and doing all of them manually now will take time. Can you please tell me why it was removed? As I said the read more and excerpts were there to all the posts when I made the blog.
Isn’t there anything I can do to bring ‘read more’ on all the posts in one go?regards,
XNHello Ismael,
When I made the blog at first, I set it to ‘single author’ in the blog element in page layout. It opened the blog page with thumbnail of featured images on the left of the ‘title’ of each post. Below title was the excerpt with ‘read more’. Clicking on ‘read more’ or ‘title’ opened the post as single page.
Now, all the posts are open on the main blog page. There is no ‘read more’ at all. And the featured image has come on the top of title.
I need to revert to the design I made first. Can you please see into it?
Regards,
XNHey Ismael, once again, thanks a lot for your support and working diligently on my thread.
Did you click on ‘read more’ on my blog? I checked just now; it’s still not opening the post full. Also, earlier, whatever the code you guys sent me, made the featured image on blog small keeping it on the side of the post (as single author view) on main blog page. Now it is big again.
Can you please have a look at it again?
LOL, I guess you will have to spoil your weekend on this, one more time.
Regards,
XNThank you Ismael for your support.
Unfortunately, now the blog sidebar is gone :( http://xandrianoir.com/blog-and-reviews/
Also, ‘read more’ still doesn’t open.
Regards,
XNIsmael, I am not ignoring it but I thought that without wp-admin page opening you wont access it. I had to change the password first. Below are the details. (I have asked the server team to fix the login.Please just see into ‘read more’ issue.)
Also, I guess override will remove all my work and customization. (I guess) so please don’t do that.
Do you need the details for cpanel of server too?
Regards,
I have deleted the both codes you sent me to enter in functions.php because they shut down the site with the error I sent you just now.
Now I have only added the following which was sent to me first:
add_filter(‘avf_blog_style’,’avia_change_category_blog_layout’, 10, 2);
function avia_change_category_blog_layout($layout, $context){
if($context == ‘archive’) $layout = ‘single-small’;
return $layout;
}The site is up again but wp-admin is still giving this error:
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home3/xandrianoir/public_html/www.xandrianoir.com/wp-content/themes/enfold/functions-enfold.php:1) in /home3/xandrianoir/public_html/www.xandrianoir.com/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 1207
PLEASE tell me ‘header already sent’. I have to log in. Please review entire thread and see where things went wrong. I worked too hard to make this site. I can’t afford to lose it.
Regards,
XNHello, I did what you asked and now this is what I get when I open my site or try wp-admin:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ”; ‘ (T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE) in /home3/xandrianoir/public_html/www.xandrianoir.com/wp-content/themes/enfold/functions.php on line 525
What’s happening?
Please solve it.
Thanks

Furthermore, it is now really confusing for me to figure out. Just help me with this. I will tell in steps:
In the beginning, mistakenly, I added the following code to functions-enfold.php (dont worry, I wont add anything there anymore)
This is the code:
add_filter(‘avf_blog_style’,’avia_change_category_blog_layout’, 10, 2);
function avia_change_category_blog_layout($layout, $context){
if($context == ‘archive’) $layout = ‘single-small’;
return $layout;
}This code is still in functions-enfold.php SHOULD I remove it and insert it in functions.php?
After this code, I added the following to functions.php (I have not deleted the previous one from functions-enfold.php)
add_filter(‘avia_layout_filter’, ‘avia_change_post_layout’, 10, 2);
function avia_change_post_layout($layout, $post_id){
if(is_tax(‘portfolio_entries’)) {
$layout[‘current’] = $layout[“fullsize”];
$layout[‘current’][‘main’] = “fullsize”;
}return $layout;
}
SHOULD I replace it with the following?
add_filter(‘avia_layout_filter’, ‘avia_change_post_layout’, 10, 2);
function avia_change_post_layout($layout, $post_id){
if(is_tax(‘portfolio_entries’) || is_tag()) {
$layout[‘current’] = $layout[“fullsize”];
$layout[‘current’][‘main’] = “fullsize”;
}return $layout;
}Ismael, please ignore my ignorance here but I don’t know what does ‘separate function ‘ means.
Also, the last code sent to me in this thread, I have not entered it yet. I tried log in but it does not give log in page. Do you want me to got to functions.php from FTP and insert it there then overwrite the file? Do I have to replace any code there?
Thanks
XNHey Ismael,
I don’t know if I should write it in this thread or make a new one but since all the codes I am inserting are related to this thread so better here. I can’t login wp-admin. This is what comes when I try to log in:
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home3/xandrianoir/public_html/www.xandrianoir.com/wp-content/themes/enfold/functions-enfold.php:1) in /home3/xandrianoir/public_html/www.xandrianoir.com/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 1207
I don’t know what happened now.
How will you log in if I provide the credentials here?Please help.
Regards,
XNGuys, I have removed the repeated code from the function-enfold.php on my cpanel and overwrite it. The website is functional now.
