Just noting that I have been trying to work with Responsive Flipbook WordPress Plugin on an Enfold site, and it is NOT going well. Import of pre-defined designs does not work at all, the plugin often hangs, and I am getting a lot of 503 errors. I did turn off all plugins, contact siteground my host to increase PHP memory, and contacted the plugin’s authors, all to no avail. For anyone else who searched flipbooks in the support area, I’d suggest you save your money. I wish I could find a flipbooks-style setup for the LayerSlider somewhere; looks like I have to set one up myself.

@moderngravity and @DavyE

Hey guys,

I know I’m a bit late to the party with replying but I stumbled across your thread while looking for something else.

Enfold is a wonderful and beautifully written theme with amazingly clean code. I’ve also spent ages barking up this SEO tree and wasted hours browsing this forum trying to fix things I thought needed fixing, in hope that once my little website was complete it would rank one with Google when people searched for it.

Now I am no coder or SEO guru but one thing I have noticed (other than moderators here being very short when it comes to SEO questions) is forget SEO . Forget worrying about having Htags correctly arranged as sites such as OnPage.Org tell you. Don’t worry about validator.w3.org telling you your site is missing [/p] here and there or have other errors.

Focus on content people want to read, focus on social signals to and from your site, worry about your click through rate and how much time people spend on your site. Most importantly worry about user experience and data highlighting.

Now you most likely think I’m talking a load of crap about now but here in The Netherlands (home to Yoast) there are two very popular and loved by Google websites.

emerce.nl and The Next Web (Google Partner).

Emerce have on their front page 2,326 words within H1 tags and 197 within H2 tags. Their site structure and naming of pages goes against anything you read or is suggested by Yoast yet this page ranks extremely highly in every aspect with Google. If you run their website through the
validator.w3.org make sure you’ve a cup of tea ready to read the results!

As I said, I’m no expert but when I start looking at companies who are getting things right with Google its seems it’s because their doing a lot of things wrong. Let’s face it, if your worrying about SEO it’s because your worrying about ranking in search engines and as Google is the only real search engine to worry about, unless you live outside of Europe and the US. Just my 2 cents but focus on your User Experience results from these “testing sites”

Hello!

Thank you for your quick response. I add

Here is my functions.php in enfold-child, but nothing has changed in Featured Image section, still missing the checkbox. Maybe I did something wrong?

<?php

/*
* Add your own functions here. You can also copy some of the theme functions into this file. 
* WordPress will use those functions instead of the original functions then.
*/
add_filter( 'admin_post_thumbnail_html', 'mmx_cpt_featured_image_meta');
function mmx_cpt_featured_image_meta( $content ) {
	global $post, $post_type;
	if( $post_type == "Projects" ) {
		$text = __( "Don't display image on single post", 'avia_framework' );
		$id = '_avia_hide_featured_image';
		$value = esc_attr( get_post_meta( $post->ID, $id, true ) );
		$selected = !empty($value) ? "checked='checked'" : "";
		$label = '</div><div class="av-meta-extra-inside"><label for="' . $id . '" class="selectit"><input '.$selected.' name="' . $id . '" type="checkbox" id="' . $id . '" value="1" > ' . $text .'</label>';
		return $content .= $label;
	}
	return $content;
}

And here is the functions.php from enfold-folder. I already did some configuration here and they appear in wp-admin. Should I add your code here or what should I do?

<?php

    return $new_message;
