1. Do the Enfold Accordion or Tab elements automatically create the proper FAQ schema for search engines?
2. If not, is it still required to manually add the FAQPage schema for search engines as JSON-LD code to the page’s header or via a custom code element in Enfold?
3. If 1 is untrue and FAQ page schema is manually added (per 2), are the Enfold Accordion or Tab elements still required, or can the text be in any Enfold element?

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.

The pages that are designated by the plugin do not apply the enfold general styling in terms of colours of fonts, backgrounds, etc.
Such pages are for example this one: https://tricorn-travels.com/all-trips/
You see if white (#ffffff) because i manually inputted the CSS for it. None of the text colours are what the enfold general styling should impose.
If the enfold general styling was applying to the page, here how the trip search would look: https://tricorn-travels.com/
Now, I could manually edit the CSS for everything on all plugin pages…. which is lenghty…..But I would like to know: is there a simple CSS that makes the Enfold Styling override plugins for all looks (font color, background, alternate colour etc) on all the pages of my website included the plugin designated pages?

Thanks for your input. And yes, I know the issue was caused by the Enfold theme, I had already tried debugging with fallback themes where the Hivepress listing search worked just fine. Unfortunately, we had to stick with the Enfold theme as the whole website was already fully built with it and its ALB visual editor, making it impossible to switch themes just for Hivepress compatibility.

However, yesterday I took a full day to investigate the Enfold theme files, and I am happy to report that I have found the cause, and thus could fix the problem. Enfold developers might want to read on to understand and fix this potentially problematic code, as it might cause incompatibility issues with not just Hivepress but also other WordPress extensions that use their own search logic.

The file causing the Hivepress search problem is found in the Enfold theme file structure, namely

/themes/enfold/includes/helper-template-logic.php

In this file exists a function called “avia_search_query_filter”, starting around line 37. Its purpose is to “make sure that empty searches are sent to the search page as well”. Empty searches would mean standard text searches without a keyword (search term).

Unfortunately, this function does not check for custom post_types, it just addresses all searches. The URL https://wiras.dora.group/?post_type=hp_listing&s= should definitely display the search results for the custom “Listing” post type, which is Hivepresses’ own custom post_type (since the parameter is in the URL after clicking Search), and not be treated as a standard text search.

The problem is that most Hivepress searches would be considered “empty” searches as they don’t have a keyword parameter, but are searches by checkbox, select menue or radio button values (these are generated by the listings “custom fields”). Thus, the above mentioned function of the Enfold theme hijacks those searches and instead of handing them over to Hivepress, redirects them to the themes’ own “Nothing found” search result page.

All I had to do now is to comment out the whole function in the file “helper-template-logic.php”, starting from line 41 until line 66:

41 if(!function_exists(‘avia_search_query_filter’))
42 {
43 function avia_search_query_filter($query)
[…]
64 add_filter(‘pre_get_posts’, ‘avia_search_query_filter’);
65 }

For now this works for us, as we don’t use a standard text search on the site anyway. We just have to be careful when updating the theme.

You might consider finetuning your function to check for “custom post types” and exclude them from the search redirecting, as it seems your current approach is a bit too general and has the potential to hijack other plugins custom search patterns.

Best regards,
Sebastian

Hi Ismael,

danke für die schnelle Hilfe, falls dies das ausgeblendete Produkt auch bei ähnliche Produkte und in der Enfold Suche ausblenden sollte, dann funktioniert der Code nicht. Habe es gerade mit einem Produkt getestet und es wird bei beidem noch angezeigt.
Danke

Hi Ismael,

Thanks for your quick help. If this is supposed to hide the hidden product from similar products and the Enfold search, then the code isn’t working. I just tested it with a product and it’s still showing up in both places.
Thanks

Hi Ismael,

That css doesn’t seem to work. I had injected custom code into the function.php file to get the search bar to appear above the mobile menu but I’m looking for the icon to appear in the header, I’ve removed the custom code to ensure there’s no conflicts but it’s still not working. The plugin used is Fibosearch which is set up to use Enfold’s search bars which works great on desktop but I can’t get the default one to appear on mobile. I’ve had this problem previously with other sites and have had to use custom code but I need the Enfold default one to be visible here because of Fibosearch. I have tried to add their shortcode to the top bar but it really messes with the styling of the layout, it would be much better to have the icon in the space to the left of the logo.
