Thanks for your feedback.

Just to clarify — are you saying that if each product has one dropdown, and the images match the choices in that dropdown, then this will work (even if the number of images differs per variation)? But having two dropdowns (e.g., colour + size) won’t work with the current setup?

I agree that WooCommerce’s native variation handling is the better choice for image switching, but I’m concerned about losing the other layout elements we’ve built with Enfold’s Advanced Layout Builder. It feels like a real negative that Enfold doesn’t support WooCommerce variation images out of the box.

Do you know of any plugin or solution that would let me keep using Enfold’s builder and have a variation image gallery that works properly with WooCommerce variations? Something that bridges the gap between Enfold and variation images?

Thanks,

Hi Ismael,

I’ve tried the page layout settings, but it never worked. Whatever I change there, it doesn’t affect the page layout.
And it’s not only for the homepage. It doesn’t change for any website page (https://shop-ca.akhurst.com/ https://shop-ca.akhurst.com/service/)

https://snipboard.io/74zdDu.jpg
https://snipboard.io/HWvRu9.jpg

Even when I try to use one of the Enfold core features (widget area), it doesn’t work. Why?
Actually, this should be the ideal solution for single pages.

Regarding the code provided, it’s not working either.

Please help me ….

Hi Ismael,

Thank you for the suggestion. I have followed your instructions: I removed the custom code from wp_head and uploaded the png 512×512 favicon directly through the Enfold > Theme Options field.

I understand it might take some time for Google to crawl the site and update the SERP. I will monitor the situation over the next few days and let you know if it’s resolved.

Happy holidays to you too! Best regards

Hi,

I’ve revised the test page for the Liberty radiator — the dropdowns now correctly match the finish and the corresponding image in the slider.

Some product pages will include both colour and size variants and will therefore require three dropdowns. Other pages will only have a size variant and will just need a single dropdown.

If this setup isn’t possible, is there a way to use the native WooCommerce variation images instead of the Enfold slider, while still keeping the other content elements on the page — effectively a hybrid approach?

I came across this support topic, which suggests it may be possible:

I can provide guest login access to the dev site if required.

Please advise.

Thanks

Me again: From my research, I see this is because Enfold targets the last anchor link in the menu as the active link, when it is not. I can see that in the code. It looks like it would be nearly impossible to make this menu work with the hover, active, and non-active states showing in color as they should. Also, I read that Enfold does not work well with anchor links in this side menu, as the states are coded for full URLs.

So, if that cannot be done, I would be satisfied if we could just eliminate the last anchor link from being falsely targeted as active. Then the menu is passible, the hover state works, but not the other states in color. That’s OK. If not, it would be confusing for the user.

I have tried dozens of CSS attempts, and many full JavaScript tries — nothing works that I have done. So I am hoping you have some further insight into this code, as I have gone too far in developing this website to change everything now. This fixed layout with a side menu has been very frustrating to get to work correctly across devices.

Hope you can help with this issue! Thanks.

Hi Ismael,
Thanks for your answer.

Actually, we need the sidebar on all our pages, especially the homepage, like every other modern store, for quick search and navigation.
Will these plugins handle this need?

Using the core plugins, I could manage to create the sidebar in some main pages, but not all of them :(

– PRODUCT TYPE PAGES: https://shop-ca.akhurst.com/shop/parts/ – YES
– MACHINE TYPE PAGES: https://shop-ca.akhurst.com/shop/parts/edge-banders/ – YES
– PRODUCT PAGE: https://shop-ca.akhurst.com/product/canmx722413/ – NO 9the sidebar is not on the left side, but below the product content)
– HOMEPAGE: https://shop-ca.akhurst.com/ – NO (I can’t manage to show the sidebar! And here’s the most essential part of this whole change, where we’re deleting the old codes)

Also, please let me know how to add the WooCommerce core filters to our store. I can’t find them using the ALB layout
I’ve already enabled the sidebars inside Enfold settings, but nothing happens.

Hi, Guenni007,
Thank you so much for your great help — the language switch now works exactly as I wanted. You’re my hero!
Questions:
1. I assume I have to reinsert the code line after every LayerSlider update.
2. Would it make sense to completely remove the LayerSlider included in Enfold?
3. If so, would I then have to remove the LayerSlider again after every Enfold update? It would be nice if there were an option, for example a toggle switch (LayerSlider on/off), to permanently deactivate and delete the included LayerSlider.

Hi, Ismael,
Thank you for your quick reply. I’m unsure whether I should completely remove the bundled LayerSlider plugin. That might only cause problems and unnecessary effort.
Best Regards
Herb

Clarification: last live-site fatal error occurred Dec. 23, 2025 — staging now reproduces the same Enfold issue

Hello Yigit,
I just wanted to clarify the timeline and current status of the Enfold fatal error that involves avia_font_manager. After reviewing all automated WordPress notifications more carefully, I confirmed that the last fatal error email from the live site (http://www.drisabelbalza.com) was sent on December 23, 2025. Since that date, I have deactivated and completely removed the “Child Theme Configurator plugin” and replaced the Enfold Child theme with the original Enfold Child folder provided by Kriesi (https://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/install-enfold-theme/#why-child-theme)

Email received from WordPress:
Subject: [Dr. Isabel Balza] Your Site is Experiencing a Technical Issue

Howdy!

WordPress has a built-in feature that detects when a plugin or theme causes a fatal error on your site, and notifies you with this automated email.

In this case, WordPress caught an error with your theme, Enfold.

First, visit your website (https://www.drisabelbalza.com/) and check for any visible issues. Next, visit the page where the error was caught (https://www.drisabelbalza.com/wp-login.php) and check for any visible issues.

Please contact your host for assistance with investigating this issue further.

If your site appears broken and you can’t access your dashboard normally, WordPress now has a special “recovery mode”. This lets you safely login to your dashboard and investigate further.

https://www.drisabelbalza.com/hootlogin/?action=enter_recovery_mode&rm_token=3iCP23yifQpCERmU07tedS&rm_key=AbfuyyFeY7jfVO9htoLbZm

To keep your site safe, this link will expire in 1 day. Don’t worry about that, though: a new link will be emailed to you if the error occurs again after it expires.

When seeking help with this issue, you may be asked for some of the following information:
WordPress version 6.8.3
Active theme: Enfold Child (version 1.0)
Current plugin: (version )
PHP version 7.4.33

Error Details
=============
An error of type E_ERROR was caused in line 223 of the file /home/drisabel/public_html/wp-content/themes/enfold/includes/classes/class-social-media-icons.php. Error message: Uncaught Error: Class ‘avia_font_manager’ not found in /home/drisabel/public_html/wp-content/themes/enfold/includes/classes/class-social-media-icons.php:223
Stack trace:
#0 /home/drisabel/public_html/wp-content/themes/enfold/includes/classes/class-social-media-icons.php(259): avia_social_media_icons->build_icon(Array)
#1 /home/drisabel/public_html/wp-content/themes/enfold/includes/classes/class-social-media-icons.php(288): avia_social_media_icons->html()
#2 /home/drisabel/public_html/wp-content/themes/enfold/includes/helper-main-menu.php(22): avia_social_media_icons(Array, false)
#3 /home/drisabel/public_html/wp-includes/template.php(812): require(‘/home/drisabel/…’)
#4 /home/drisabel/public_html/wp-includes/template.php(745): load_template(‘/home/drisabel/…’, false, Array)
#5 /home/drisabel/public_html/wp-includes/general-template.php(206): locate_template(Array, true, false, Array)
#6 /home/drisabel/public_html/wp-content/themes/enfold/header.php(275): get_template_part(‘includes/helper’, ‘main-menu’)

However, the situation has evolved as follows:
1) The same fatal error (Class ‘avia_font_manager’ not found)
2) The same file and line (class-social-media-icons.php, line 223)
3) The same stack trace path (social media icons → helper-main-menu → header.php)
is now being reproduced on the staging site: https://gg.drisabelbalza.com
This confirms the issue is not isolated to the live environment, and it persists even after removing the “Child Theme Configurator” plugin.

Current environment details:
– WordPress 6.8.3
– PHP 7.4.33
– Active theme: Enfold Child (version 1.0) → clean, original folder
– No custom code related to fonts or social icons

At this point, I would appreciate your guidance on:
1) Where exactly avia_font_manager is initialized in Enfold.
2) Under which conditions this class may fail to load before class-social-media-icons.php executes.
3) Whether this behavior is known or expected with WordPress 6.8.3 or PHP 7.4
4) Any recommended temporary workaround to prevent further fatal error emails while the root cause is addressed

Thank you for your continued assistance — my goal is to resolve this definitively before applying any further changes to the live site.

Best regards,
Claudia

Hi Rikard, when I extract the download (installation files only), I get an enfold folder. Inside, I find PHP files and several subfolders, but no ZIP file. I’m probably just being dense. Can you help me?
