Hey AntonNovikov!

Insert this code into the child theme functions.php or enfold/functions.php file:

add_shortcode('year', function(){return date('Y');});

and then insert the shortcode

[year]

into the copyright text field to show the current year.

Regards,
Peter

Hi!

No, the child theme style.css doesn’t necessarily import a stylesheet of the parent theme. It depends on the theme code. I.e. for Enfold the Avada code doesn’t work and you can use this code instead:

/*
Theme Name: Enfold Child
Description: A <a href='http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes'>Child Theme</a> for the Enfold WordPress Theme. If you plan to do a lot of file modifications we recommend to use this Theme instead of the original Theme. Updating wil be much easier then.
Version: 1.0
Author: Kriesi
Author URI: http://kriesi.at
Template: enfold
*/

/*Add your own styles below:*/

Best regards,
Peter

Hey mrdonthave!

Afaik you can’t overwrite the methods but you can load a custom version of avia.js from the child theme folder (which will be used instead of the original (parent theme) avia.js. Insert this code:

if(!is_admin()) add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'avia_register_child_frontend_scripts', 100);
function avia_register_child_frontend_scripts()
{
	$child_theme_url = get_stylesheet_directory_uri();
	wp_dequeue_script('avia-default');

	//register js
	wp_register_script( 'avia-default-child', $child_theme_url.'/js/avia.js', array('jquery'), 1, true);
	wp_enqueue_script( 'avia-default-child' );
}

into the child theme functions.php file and place the custom avia.js file into the child theme folder (wp-content/themes/enfold-child/js/avia.js).

Best regards,
Peter

Hi!

Yes, each update will overwrite this mod. You can install a child theme and place the code into the child theme functions.php file if you want an update-safe solution. http://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/using-a-child-theme/

Hi Justin!

1) You can use a 2/3 column element for the slider (i.e. use the AviaSlider) and a 1/3 column for the text on the right side. The included LayerSlider is currently tweaked for Enfold and does only support fullwidth layouts. If you want to use it for a 2/3 column layout you would need to purchase it as a standalone plugin or you can use another slider like Master Slider or Revolution Slider.

2) The events calendar “events” page unfortunately is no page in a classic sense but afaik the plugin creates it dynamically. Thus you also can’t apply sidebar settings, etc. to it because these settings require get_post_meta() http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_post_meta and a page/post id to work. The events page does not have a page id and thus you can’t save or query settings for this page.

Cheers!
Peter
