Hi!

Yes – the category probably won’t solve the problem. You must find a way to:

1) Connect the translated blog page with the original blog page – otherwise the language switcher won’t work
2) To change the blog page id based on the selected language
3) To query all existing translations of an entry and to add the flags to the menu. Otherwise the language switcher won’t work properly.

Actually the hard part is not the code itself but the working time which is required to study the documentation of the third party translation plugin. Every plugin comes with a different api and it requires at some working hours to rewrite the WPML based theme code for a different translation plugin. I recommend to hire a freelancer who can help you with this task. If you want to switch to another theme I strongly recommend you to ask the theme author if the theme supports another translation plugin. Most themeforest themes just support WPML and it doesn’t make sense to switch to another theme if this theme doesn’t support your translation plugin too.

Alternatively you can try a translation plugin which doesn’t require any theme code customization at all – http://wordpress.org/plugins/multilingual-press/ – this plugin uses a separate multisite blog for each language and you can also select a different blog page, etc. for each language because each blog uses a separate option table. If you want to add the multilingual-press language switcher to the menu see https://kriesi.at/support/topic/multilingual-press-pro-enfold-multisite/#post-238613

Hi there,

I would download the child theme and open up the zip file. Open the style.css file and here you can change the name of the theme (Custom, My Theme) or whatever you like, as well as the description.

Do not change the name of the parent, Enfold, otherwise the child theme will not find the parent. You can also change the screenshot.png if you want to. Save these files and rename the folder to match the new name you are using.

You can now either re-zip the folder and install it as a new theme via WP or simply FTP it into your Themes folder.

After installing and activating the theme you can simply use the the Settings>Import/Export section and Import the Parent Theme Settings.

Then you should be good to go. The parent theme and settings remain untouched, so you risk nothing by trying this out for yourself.

I hope that helps,

AndrewJ

Hi there,

The easiest way to use a custom name for your theme is to use a Child Theme. You can read more about this and download a starter Child Theme at http://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/using-a-child-theme/ .

You can rename your child theme to anything you like, provided you don’t change the link to the Parent Theme.

I hope this helps,

Hi!

If you don’t want to crop the image on the detail page at all open up wp-content/themes/enfold/single-portfolio.php (or copy this template to your child theme directory and edit the file in your child theme folder) and replace:

$avia_config['size'] = avia_layout_class( 'main' , false) == 'entry_without_sidebar' ? '' : 'entry_with_sidebar';

with

$avia_config['size'] = 'full';

Then wordpress will use the original image and not a cropped thumbnail version.

Cheers!
Peter

Hey!

I would like to avoid the image being
cropped in the window that opens when you click on it from the portfolio grid – Is this even possible
it seems like the images on the enfold demo are also cropped so maybe I am asking the impossible?

Are you using the ajax portfolio? If yes the theme will not use the single-portfolio.php template I mentioned here https://kriesi.at/support/topic/how-can-i-make-the-title-for-each-portfolio-entry-18-point/#post-245059 but it will use a special html template which is loaded with js/ajax. Open up wp-content/themes/enfold/config-templatebuilder/avia-shortcodes/portfolio.php and replace:

$params['style'] =  "big_thumb";

with

$params['style'] =  "big_thumb";
$params['preview_size'] ='full';
$params['crop_big_preview_thumbnail'] ='avia-gallery-big-no-crop-thumb';

Best regards,
Peter

Hey!

Ja, ich empfehle den Elementen in den Spalten eine “Custom CSS” Klasse zu geben – siehe: http://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/turn-on-custom-css-field-for-all-alb-elements/ und dann verwende diese Klasse um die Hintergrundsfarbe der Elemente zu ändern (zB verwende die Klasse “colored_posts” und füge diesen Code in das Quick CSS Feld ein.

#top #wrap_all .colored_posts{ background-color: #333; }

Cheers!

Hey!

But if you’re not using WPML how do you want to translate the website? I.e. you can’t select a different blog page without WPML and you can’t simply add language flags to the menu. With WPML our themes will support both features out of the box – without WPML you must customize the theme files for the translation plugin you want to use but we can’t assist you with the customization.

You can increase the font seize of the secondary menu with:

#top .sub_menu>ul, #top .sub_menu>ul>li {
font-size: 13px;
}

I recommend to place the code into the quick css field or into the child theme style.css.

Cheers!
Peter

Hi!

Please insert this code into the enfold/functions.php file (or child theme functions.php file):

if(!function_exists('avia_modify_breadcrumb_blog'))
{
	function avia_modify_breadcrumb_blog($trail)
	{
       		 $blog_page = 20;
         	if(get_post_type() === "post" && (is_category() || is_archive() || is_tag()))
		{

			$front = avia_get_option('frontpage');
			$blog = $blog_page;

			if($front && $blog && $front != $blog)
			{
				$blog = '<a href="' . get_permalink( $blog ) . '" title="' . esc_attr( get_the_title( $blog ) ) . '">' . get_the_title( $blog ) . '</a>';
				array_splice($trail, 1, 0, array($blog));
			}
		}
		else if(get_post_type() === "post")
		{
			$front = avia_get_option('frontpage');
			$blog = $blog_page;
			
			if($blog == $front)
			{
				unset($trail[1]);
			}
		}
		
		return $trail;
	}

	add_filter('avia_breadcrumbs_trail','avia_modify_breadcrumb_blog', 15, 1);
}

and replace 20 with the id of your blog page.

Best regards,
Peter

Hey JustinGreis!

Here are my thoughts on your problem :

1) The pagination on the demo site ( enfold ) it’s working and on my local development is working too, that only says one thing, the problem is on the plugins part.

2) You have tons of plugins, my advice is : remove 1 by 1 start with the ones are more critical to your workflow so if you have to replace one of them you have some time to thinking throughout.

3) I’ve checked your site looking for bugs / errors on the console, so far nothing. ( so go back to #2 ).

OPTION #4
Backup your site ( there is a plugin for that ) or back up your db, after that remove wordpress completely, and start with a brand new installation, if you backup your data you won’t need to start all over. On enfold options pannel you can back up your options.

Cheers!
David
