Hi!

1) No, sitemap.xml is not a must. Smaller websites do not require a sitemap at all, large websites with a complex page hierarchy may profit from a sitemap. However it’s hard to determine an exact threshold and I’m pretty sure that every seo expert would give you a different answer. However on the other hand a sitemap.xml will not hurt your ranking – thus if you’re not sure about it it’s better to generate a sitemap.

2) WordPress is a CMS system and it uses themes and plugins to extend the core features. I’m not aware of a script which allows you to generate a sitemap without a plugin. The only option would be to build the sitemap manually. Personally I suggest to use http://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-seo/ or http://wordpress.org/plugins/google-sitemap-plugin/ to build the sitemap. You can also deactivate the plugins after the generation. As soon as you add a new post/page, etc. activate the plugin again and hit the “regenerate sitemap” button to generate the sitemap for portfolio pages.

3) No, especially http://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-seo/ supports custom post types like the “portfolio entries” and it will generate a proper sitemap.

4) No, you can also maintain it manually. However I suggest to build the initial sitemap with a plugin because I’m not sure which structure/syntax the sitemap uses and Yoast SEO will take care of this.

5) Please update to 2.6.1 and check if the update solves the issues. I’m pretty sure a) is fixed now, I’m not sure about b and c.

6) Yes, open up enfold/js/avia.js and replace:

						setTimeout(function()
						{
							currentLink.animate({opacity:1},1500);
						}, (100 * i));

with

currentLink.animate({opacity:1},100);

Peter

Hey!

@Gee Are Pabst: Try this css code:

@media only screen and (max-width: 767px){
.responsive #header .social_bookmarks {
position:relative;
}

.responsive .mobile_slide_out .logo {
margin-top: 20px;
}

.html_header_top.html_bottom_nav_header #header_main {
height: 125px;
}

.responsive .logo a, .responsive .logo img {
max-width: 90%;
height: auto !important;
}
}

to improve the styling.

@hojoon: Please go to your English website and try to re-save the theme settings (Enfold > Theme Options).

Cheers!
Peter

Hey Jaroslav!

I suggest to use the free Codestyling plugin to translate the theme or to change the content of the current translation. Install the plugin ( http://wordpress.org/plugins/codestyling-localization/ ), go to Tools > Localization and select “Themes”. Then search for “Enfold” in the list and select your language and click the “create po-file” button. Click on “Rescan” to search for all text strings. Afterwards click on “Edit” and translate the required strings from the “avia_framework” textdomain. At least click the “create mo file” button next to the “Textdomain” selection dropdown (top left corner). Search for “Leave a Reply” and “Want to join the discussion?”, etc to translate the comment text strings.

Best regards,
Peter

Hey gentlemansgazette!

I’m not familiar with google search and I can’t help you with the implementation. I recommend to install a wordpress search plugin like: SearchWP if you want to improve the search. You can also try to follow the instructions another user posted here: https://kriesi.at/support/topic/how-to-integrate-google-custom-search-cse-into-enfold/ but again, I can’t give you more details about the implementation…

Best regards,
Peter

I upgraded to 2.6.1 and now the layout header appears to work on both posts and pages now! However, I have selected a page to be the front page (the very first setting in the enfold theme options) but the layout header setting does NOT change the header on the home page.

I go the same issue, this is pissing me off. I have been playing with this WP template for two weeks now, we are ready to launch and this happens. WHY!!!
