Sorry, last thing, can I paste it anywhere or specific line? (Last time I added a code in there, it messed up my site)

Hey 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?

Hello 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.

Regards,
XN

Hey Andy, I didn’t understand what does ‘defining as standard wordpress blog page in Enfold mean’. Can I change it?

Also, 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.

Hi 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 pagination

Thank you so much.

Regards,
XN

Thank 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
#516771

Ok, 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.

XN

Hi,
Can you please tell me where I can find more tag and excerpt box?

XN

Hey 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,
XN

Ismael, 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?

Hello, 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
XN

continued…
How many line space should be there between codes? 2 or 3?

Thanks
Xn

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
XN

Hello Ismael,
Do I have to replace any code or just add this one in the end? Also, on my blog, ‘read more’ and the title of posts are not opening the post in full. Will this code solve that issue too?

I don’t understand what are filters.

XN

Guys, I have removed the repeated code from the function-enfold.php on my cpanel and overwrite it. The website is functional now.

Please just revert to my ‘read more’ not opening question now (for now).
Thanks,
XN
