Hi Ismael,

Thank you for your reply. I actually copied it from this thread. This is how my child theme functions.php looks like altogether, below. But it still doesn’t work.

<?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.
*/

//set builder mode to debug
add_action(‘avia_builder_mode’, “builder_set_debug”);
function builder_set_debug()
{
return “debug”;
}

/*
* AJAX Search won’t search the pages but posts only, in the SEARCH DROPDOWN
*/

function avf_modify_ajax_search_query($search_parameters) {
parse_str($search_parameters, $params);
$params[‘post_type’] = ‘post’;
$search_parameters = http_build_query($params);
return $search_parameters;
}

add_filter(‘avf_ajax_search_query’, ‘avf_modify_ajax_search_query’, 10, 1);

/*
* AJAX Search won’t search the pages but posts only, in the SEARCH RESULTS PAGE
*/

function exclude_pages_from_search($query) {
if ( $query->is_main_query() && is_search() ) {
$query->set( ‘post_type’, ‘post’ );
}
return $query;
}
add_filter( ‘pre_get_posts’,’exclude_pages_from_search’ );

/*
* Changing placeholder message in Enfold standard AVIA search field not to have my manual placeholders in mobile view
*/

// adjust search placeholder on mobile view
function ava_script_search_placehodler() {
if ( wp_script_is( ‘avia-default’, ‘registered’ ) ) {
wp_add_inline_script( ‘avia-default’, ‘(function($) {
(function($) {
if(window.innerWidth >= 989) return;
$(".av_searchform_wrapper").find("#s").attr("placeholder", "Search");
})(jQuery);
‘);
}
}
add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘ava_script_search_placehodler’, 9999);

I am sorry, I just realized I didn’t answer your question properly: The search field and the current placeholder text were inserted using your AVIA Layout Builder – it is a standard Enfold search field.

Thanks!

Hi Ismael,

Thanks for your swift reply!

I have created a (modified) copy of search.php and have put it in a child theme directory, and restored the original one at the enfold parent theme directory, thanks a lot for that!

I am attaching the link to the staging page related to the search field I was asking about, in a private section. It is a standard search field, somewhat CSS-adapted, but works just fine. The placeholder text is certainly too long for mobile phones, and doesn’t look good. I’d like to simply have “Search” for the mobile phones in a placeholder, instead of that longer content.

Thanks a lot again!

Kind regards

Hi Ismael,

I had some other problems with WPML that definitely didn’t have anything to do with Enfold, so contacted the WPML support today. Which also fixed the problem here in this thread.

The culprit was Gutenberg. And I think this is important info for a lot of websites done with Enfold:
When you create the first wordpress page for a website, Gutenberg is active. When switching to the Avia builder, Gutenberg disappears, BUT(!) there’s still some invisible code from Gutenberg on the page.
So, to keep design elements and structure the same for the next page, I duplicated that first page. And again for the next page,…
The result is: That Gutenberg code is now sitting inside every page. And WMPL really doesn’t like that at all!

Solution was:
– install the “Classic Editor” WordPress plugin
– get the problematic page’s post ID (hover over it & browser will display the page-id)
– in the SQL database, go to the wp_posts table and search for the post_id
– on the post_content col, remove all tags and save
– on WP, do a small modification on the original post and save
– update the translation

That fixed a lot of the issues, including the missing slider header translation. Maybe worthwhie pointing this out in your manual / the Enfold “WPML Wokflow” page.

Hello,
Any updates on the imaging “tearing” issue for the gallery media element?

I found an unrelated website, Zillow.com, which shows image tearing in their search box.

It is very interesting to me that tearing is appearing in a search box.

I don’t know if there is a larger issue of tearing that appears outside of the Enfold theme specifically. I wonder if tearing is appearing on other websites that do Not use Enfold. For these unrelated websites, is tearing appearing in elements beyond the search box element?

It would be good to know what theme or template builder Zillow, if it is WordPress-based, or not. That may lead solutions to the tearing problem for Enfold and to non-Enfold/non-WordPress-based websites. Zillow.com is a well-known website.

It may be helpful to contact Zillow about this to help all people who have websites who have this “tearing” issue. I am still very interesting in identifying the underlying cause or causes of the problem for me and for anyone else who has this problem.

Hi Victoria,

I’m sorry for the delayed response. Below is an image of what we are attempting to achieve with the placement of a Search box in the header socket.

Thank you again for all of your help. Enjoy the day!

All the Best,
Nathan
