Hey anthonybennett,
You may not see the changes until the cached files are cleared in your browser.
Please perform the below steps to clear the browser cache:
1. Disable “merging and compression” for CSS and JS files from Enfold > Performance.
2. If a caching plugin is installed check the plugin settings and clear the cache and deactivate the plugins for testing purpose.
3. Hard refresh by pressing Ctrl + Shift + F5 on your browser or press the F12 key to open chrome dev tools and right-click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”.

Would you mind providing a precise link to the page, showing the elements in question? We need to be able to inspect them in order to help :)

Hey mmedrek,
Thank you for sharing the details.
I checked your site for the cookie and maps issue. Both work fine. Once I click ok the cookie message does not show again and the maps load fine. Screenshot attached.

Hi,
I am facing a similar issue:
4 out of 5 enfold based websites have been successfully upgraded from 4.6 to 4.6.1.
Only one (new) website is not updating from 4.6 to 4.6.1 because of the following error after hitting the button “install now” (via upload theme):
Nothing Found
Sorry, the post you are looking for is not available. Maybe you want to perform a search?
I have already installed the “Update Theme and Plugins from Zip File”, but it did not help. I also deleted the .htaccess file and saved the permalinks. without success.
Regards,
Christine
Hi guys,
Even with updating Enfold to 4.6.1 I still have the cookie consent error. It keeps coming back after refresh, clicking on OK does not change anything.
I also had a problem with the video preview not showing up, you see just a black screen with a play button.
When I disabled the cookie consent option, all of a sudden the video preview showed up after refresh.
This looks like a huge bug in Enfold? Is there a time table for the cookie fix, because according to the EU, I’m now breaking the law without a cookie consent?
Sincerely,
Morticka

Hello there
i updated Enfold 4.6.1 and WP is latest
In Cookie Consent Message Bar, the “link to another page” button seems not working
it closes the bar like Accept setting
do you know why ?
Thxs for your help
Rikard,
As requested, new thread…
Background:
- Google Fonts being used (Merriwether serif and Lato sans serif) stopped working (or inconsistently in most browsers stopped working), following update to Enfold 4.6. All fonts then default to a sans serif font. Site now set to use Websafe fonts Georgia (serif) and Arial (sans serif).
- Site now updated to Enfold 4.6.1.
- Google Fonts were previously implemented via combination of General Styling, Advanced Styling and Quick CSS — but problem seems evidenced just via General Styling and/or Advanced Styling.
- (FYI: more recently, also having problems with Main Menu (small seperator and Advanced Styling button css/styling disappeared.)

Hi,
Thank you for sharing the details.
The arrow element is missing in the source. I still see compressed CSS.
Please perform the below steps to clear the browser cache:
1. Disable “merging and compression” for CSS and JS files from Enfold > Performance.
2. If a caching plugin is installed check the plugin settings and clear the cache and deactivate the plugins for testing purpose.

Hello could you please give me an answer to my previous message:
Hello, I like the template enfold dark photography. I would like to use this template for my blog. But i’m not a huge fan of the blog part. I mean i prefer how the pictures and the design of the home page than on the latest news page : https://kriesi.at/themes/enfold-dark-photography/blog/. I also prefer the portfolio page : https://kriesi.at/themes/enfold-dark-photography/portfolio-item/java/ than the blog post page: https://kriesi.at/themes/enfold-dark-photography/2017/04/19/this-is-another-blog-post/ But on the blog post page there is everything about article, i mean the share button and the comments. Things that doens’t exist on the portfolio page. My questions are: 1) Is possible to right an article and publish it as a portfolio page: https://kriesi.at/themes/enfold-dark-photography/portfolio-item/java/ 2) In this page (portfolio page) is it possible to add the comments and share button that we can find on the blog post? 3) the picture on the home page can redirect to a blog post? 4) On the blog post is it possible to add a slider of picture as there is on the portfolio page? 5) is it possible to change the dark background of the website with another color? 6) Is it possible to have different section on the menu with differente disposition of the images? Like on the home page picture are disposed in galery, is it possible to make a page with the picture as a carousel like this page: https://setsail.select-themes.com/destinations-carousel/ Thank you a lot, Maxime
Hello Enfold team,
Your latest changelog states that:
added: WhatsApp share button and social icon
When I checked the Whatsapp box to display this icon for blog posts, the result is the display of an unavailable icon, i.e. a little box with the letters F232 inside it. I’m guessing that the version of the entypo-fontello font that got packaged with this 4.6 update didn’t actually contain a glyph for that character.
Not a huge issue; I’ve unchecked the WhatsApp option for now.
I forgot one thing. The third button, that we can use in the Modal Popup Window does not work as intended. It should link to another page, right?
It doesn’t, as you can test here: http://enfold.muster.website/ (Open modal and klick on “Ich will hier weg!”)
Btw. that’s where I have been testing all the shortcodes, but the results where inconsistent, so I had to ask all those questions above.

I have asked Yigit in this thread https://kriesi.at/support/topic/update-4-6-makes-cookie-consent-reload-every-time/page/2/ but guess it will be overlooked, so I am creating a separate thread.
The issue many of us had, was two missing shortcodes in the Essential Website Cookies section of the Modal Window. The team has created some workaround for the issue, but with the new legal situation in the EU, we really need to make sure that Enfold is configured correctly in order not to submit our customers to legal issues, so some clarity would be great.
I don’t understand how those shortcodes missing affect the whole cookie logic. Those two shortcodes are described in a very vague fashion, so I am hoping someone from the Kriesi team can explain this.
Looking at the shortcode descriptions, they say:
[av_privacy_allow_cookies] – allows a user to refuse cookies and hides message bar (needs 2 cookies for that, others are removed)
[av_privacy_accept_essential_cookies] – allows a user to opt out from essential theme and all other cookies (except 2 from av_privacy_allow_cookies)
Here are my questions, numbered for easier answering:
- 1. So the first one refuses ALL cookies or only non-essential ones?
- 2. And the second one says “essential theme and all other cookies”, so in my understanding kinda contradicts the first one? Or is this only “enable essential cookies and NOT all others”?
- 3. Also the logic is not very clear: the shortcode is called av_privacy_allow_cookies and the description is talking about refusing them. So when the toggle is set to “on”, what exactly is happening. Alllow or forbid?
- 4. If I am creating a webpage with the available shortcodes, I can use [av_privacy_allow_cookies] and [av_privacy_accept_essential_cookies] as well as the buttons [av_privacy_accept_button wrapper_class="" id="" class=""] and [av_privacy_do_not_accept_button wrapper_class="" id="" class=""] on the same page. So on this page it should be possible to do all the privacy settings, right?
- 5. What do the “Accept Cookies” button and the “Do not accept” button do exactly?
- 6. Are the having an influence on the other two toggles as well?
- 7. Cookie Consent Message Bar: Are the Accept Cookies” button and the “Do not accept” button the same buttons as the accept and dismiss buttons from the cookie bar, i.e do they do the same thing? If not, what is the difference?
- 8. Modal Popup Window: Are the Accept Cookies” button and the “Do not accept” button the same buttons as the accept and dismiss buttons from the cookie bar, i.e do they do the same thing? If not, what is the difference?
Do you see where i am going with these question? The current solution might very well be good and working as intended, but the intention is not clear at all and we are kinda left in the dark and the on-page description is well meant but not very helpful.
It would be great, if you can describe the logic for each shortcode and how they all work together. Or maybe update the https://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/privacy-cookies page for 4.6.1?
Our (legal) requierements are actually pretty straightforward: Essentially we have these possibilities:
- User does nothing – no cookies are saved at all
- User denies cookies – 2 cookies are saved
- User allows essential cookies – some cookies are saved
- User allows all cookies – all cookies are saved
How does this translate to the cookie message bar and why have those 2 selectors like this? I am really confused or to stubborn/dumb to get this.
Thanks in advance for helping me and surely others with this.
Cheers,
Michael

0rca. Reason: OL tags not working correctly, had to fake the numbering
Thank you, I found it.
Could you please let me know how I can add this type of top image instead? So there is a banner at the top:
https://preview.themeforest.net/item/enfold-responsive-multipurpose-theme/full_screen_preview/4519990?_ga=2.10656244.1595128102.1567679932-499607145.1566397216
Also, how do I make an image full width with a parallax effect? Or without as well:
I am trying to add it on the menu page of my dev site – I have added the link below.
And on the homepage, I would like the images to be full width as it is here on this template – how do I set this?
https://kriesi.at/themes/enfold-health-coach/ (about me with hello and welcome)
— I am trying to create the layout on my dev site – see homepage link below.
I also like the styling on these buttons – the thin outlined one where it says ‘read more’ under the article ‘A NICE ENTRY’ – how can I style my buttons like this?
https://preview.themeforest.net/item/enfold-responsive-multipurpose-theme/full_screen_preview/4519990?_ga=2.53711976.1595128102.1567679932-499607145.1566397216

Hi,
Glad to hear your screen reader can now read the mobile menu button, when the menu is open can it also read the menu items?
You wrote:
One thing I’ve noted the menu is not visible upfront in that I have to press a button to expand for items to appear. Could it be set to always show?
This is the nature of the mobile menu, it is created like this on most sites because otherwise, the menu on mobile devices would take up too much room. But if you only had a few items, such as 3 or 4 you might be able to use a standard menu. Enfold doesn’t have a built-in option to show the mobile menu as a standard menu, this may require a plugin or considerable customization.
How would you like to proceed?
Best regards,
Mike
Sure, The new changes have taken effect and I am so happy. See my previous message . Thank you. . Wow!
I have a request as it relates to what you adjusted for me before
adjust for me the /enfold/includes/loop-index.php
So the output will be:
Post heading
Category
date and time.
I understand this cannot be adjusted from the settings at Enfold Theme Options > Blog Layout > Blog meta elements because if I adjust it from there, it will add read more button and I don’t want that to happen
In short, on my homepage I want my poasts to appear like this:
Blog post title Heading
Category
Date and time
Example
Best Bluetooth Speakers to choose from in Nigeria
NEWS
Tuesday, September 3, 2019 9:26 AM
I want the three items i.e
Blog heading

Your help would be really appreciated
I hope you have a great rest of your day.

Hey,
I already discovered this and tried it that way: https://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/contact-form/#add-on-click-event-to-the-contact-form-submit-button-
I tried it with the following Code:
add_filter(‘avf_contact_form_submit_button_attr’,’avia_add_submit_attributes_to_cf’, 10, 3);
function avia_add_submit_attributes_to_cf($att, $formID, $form_params)
{
$att = “onclick=”fbq(‘track’, ‘Contact’);””;
return $att;
}
I get this error: syntax error, unexpected ‘fbq’ (T_STRING)
Do you have any idea where the problem is and may be able to update your documentation?
Thanks in advance!
Hey Roland,
Thank you for using Enfold.
Where can we see the issue? Are you referring to media gallery selection? You can click the “Reverse Order” button to adjust the image sorting.

Hi there,
I just realized that my GDPR checkbox that usually displays when someone wants to write a comment is gone even though it seems to be activated in the theme itself. This happened after the latest Enfold update. Additionally, for some reason Enfold activated some things itself (like a WhatsApp share button, for example) besides the recent issue with the polylang plug-in that you fixed for me.
Not sure what the issues is, but GDPR requirements are quite strict in Germany, so I would need this checkbox. The checkbox does show up under the contact form. Just not for the comment form.
Best,
Karina

Reply To: Enfold b
Hey mayamaria,
Thank you for using Enfold.
Do you want to have all those form fields sent when you click a single button? That is not possible by default. Only the contact form with the submit button will have its fields submitted. You should add those fields in a single contact form if you want to send them together.
Best regards,
Ismael
Hi Guenni007,
thank you for your statement. In our case we used the theme update functionality, too – by loading up a zip-file with the presented button.
Nevertheless at least one custom css has been ignored after updating. And, as I wrote already, the Developer Tab with the field for inserting the custom class name within ALB modules has disappeared – at least for the ALB-Module “Text Block”. This definitely occurred some time after the update because I have had the opportunity to control the class name shortly after realizing that the class’ css wasn’t used. When looking at the revisions there the class name seem to be still existing because the string can be found.
Sounds like the update is somewhat buggy because of some other issues reported in other threads in the enfold subforum?

Hi
I’m using the mega menu on the version 4.6 of Enfold. All links are working on desktop view but when switching to the mobile menu, half fail to open or recognise the link. The custom link titles are also there
I’ve tried using .hide_from_mobile {display:none!important} on the unwanted blank columns or titles, but it doesn’t seem to work.
Links/buttons not working are:
Our specialisms
Parents and community
News
Staff
Can you help?
Thanks
Steve
Hi
I’ve sorted it by creating a duplicate of the mega menu as a normal (non mega) menu and selecting alt menu in Enfold mobile menu settings.
Cheers

As Promised, the solution below changes the default search form to make it:
-Show products in a grid
-Add SKUs to the standard search
-Fixes the Ajax search so it all matches
Replace the search form
Edit the searchform.php (use your child theme to make a copy) Replace the default form with the following:
<form role="search" method="get" id="searchform" action="<?php echo home_url( '/' ); ?>">
<div>
<input type="text" id="s" name="s" value="<?php if(!empty($_GET['s'])) echo get_search_query(); ?>" placeholder='<?php echo $search_params['placeholder']; ?>'>
<input type="submit" value="<?php echo $icon; ?>" id="searchsubmit" class="button <?php echo $class; ?>" />
<input type="hidden" name="post_type" value="product">
</div>
</form>
Add SKUs to the default search
The guy who put this together is brilliant thank you! Add the following to your child theme’s functions.php file:
/** __________________________________ ENHANCE THE STANDARD SEARCH
* Join posts and postmeta tables
* This one hels to include the SKU in tzhe standard search
* http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference/posts_join
*/
function cf_search_join( $join ) {
global $wpdb;
if ( is_search() || !empty($_REQUEST['s'] )) {
$join .=' LEFT JOIN '.$wpdb->postmeta. ' ON '. $wpdb->posts . '.ID = ' . $wpdb->postmeta . '.post_id ';
}
return $join;
}
add_filter('posts_join', 'cf_search_join' );
/**
* Modify the search query with posts_where
*
* http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference/posts_where
*/
function cf_search_where( $where ) {
global $pagenow, $wpdb;
if ( is_search() || !empty($_REQUEST['s'] ) ) {
$where = preg_replace(
"/\(\s*".$wpdb->posts.".post_title\s+LIKE\s*(\'[^\']+\')\s*\)/",
"(".$wpdb->posts.".post_title LIKE $1) OR (".$wpdb->postmeta.".meta_value LIKE $1)", $where );
}
return $where;
}
add_filter( 'posts_where', 'cf_search_where' );
/**
* Prevent duplicates
*
* http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference/posts_distinct
*/
function cf_search_distinct( $where ) {
global $wpdb;
if ( is_search() || !empty($_REQUEST['s'] ) ) {
return "DISTINCT";
}
return $where;
}
add_filter( 'posts_distinct', 'cf_search_distinct' );
/* END Search includes SKU */
Hope this helps other people. It makes the Search in Enfold do what it should when Woocommerce is installed.
Hi, same problem here.
It seems that both button: OK and LEARN MORE consent cookies, the LEARN MORE BUTTON doesn’t bring to the “learn more page”. I manually inserted in the privacy/cookies settings.
Another problem: in contact forms enfold doesn’t show me the privacy checkbox, even if i have checked the option on privacy/cookie settings.
In another website, I also have one more problem: background color customization for the cookie consent message bar doesn’t work (image attached).
Everything was working before the 4.6 update.

Hi,
We are able to remove the excerpts and read more buttons by going to Enfold Theme Options > Blog Layout > List Layout – Simple (Title and meta information only)

But this setting still added another read more link, so I removed it with this css:
#top.home .bloglist-simple .post-meta-infos .read-more-link {
display: none !important;
}
It is now all set, please clear your browser cache and check.
Best regards,
Mike
Hi, Mike,
Thanks for your answer,
I use the Enfold option “Privacy and Cookies” and there are two problems after the update:
the first problem was also found by other people, here is the link
the second problem: I have a “read more” button but even if the link is right, it does not go to the specific page. That is, the link no longer works. with the previous version 4.5.7 it was all right.
Forgive me for my bad English.
thank you
Best regards
Bruno
Hi! I updated the Enfold template version to 4.6, and after this the “read more” button in the cookie bar on top of page is not active anymore. It is not a matter of wrong linking, because the destination page is still there and the link reference is correct, but it is not active.
Any suggestions? Thanks.
Bruno
Hello,
I updated Enfold to version 4.6 and after that I noticed that the background video that I had in a color section is not starting whenever the user sees the cookie consent message. Note that the video is an MP4 file stored on the site’s server, it’s not a Youtube or Vimeo video, so the cookie consent message mechanism should not be blocking its playback.
With this problem, the first page looks really ugly for first-time visitors who have to click ok on the cookie consent message, so I had to temporarily switch the setting for the cookie consent message from “enable and show message” to “use as a simple message bar only”. The video now autoplays but, unfortunately, the [av_privacy_google_tracking] button has no effect.
How is it possible to have the cookie consent message set to “enable and show message” AND at the same time have color sections where background videos always autoplay when their location is on the site’s server?
Thanks in advance for your help.
