Ok, I’m setting things up to try this, but in the CSS file of the child theme I read the following:
* PLEASE DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE!
*
* This file is only in your themefolder for WordPress to recognize basic theme data like name and version
* CSS Rules in this file will not be used by the theme.
* Instead use the custom.css file that is located in your themes /css/ folder to add your styles.
* You can copy a style rule from any of your css files and paste it in custom.css and
* it will override the original style. If you just want to add small css snippets you might also
* want to consider to add it to the designated CSS option field in your themes backend at: Theme Options->Styling
*/
Does this mean if I copy/paste the css from my edited enfold stylesheet, this css will not be applied?
My grasp of the steps to follow at the moment:
– Copy/paste all content from my edited enfold functions.php and style.css to the same files of the child theme
– rename enfold in the WP editor to enfold_old
– upload child theme and activate it
– Upload new enfold version
Is this correct?
Hey webfordj!
Tbh I’m not familiar with Kriesi’s calculation code for the header offset and my solution might not work but you can try to replace this code in wp-content/themes/enfold/js/shortcodes.js
subtract: '#wpadminbar, #header, #main>.title_container'
with
subtract: '#wpadminbar'
and the slider should cover the entire screen.

Hi!
Maybe you can install the Codestyling plugin on a local test server (i.e. localhost) and translate the theme there? After you translated the text strings click on the “create mo file” to generate the mo file. Then go to the wp-content/themes/enfold/lang folder and upload the mo/po files from the folder to your server. The directory path to the language folder should be the same like on your local hard drive.
Cheers!

Hi!
Afaik the POST TYPE ORDER plugin hooks into the query and manipulates it. Maybe try to set the “Autosort” option (Settings > Post Type Order) to “ON/Custom” to fix the issue. If this doesn’t help please contact the plugin author. The query of the masonry gallery can be found in wp-content/themes/enfold/config-templatebuilder/avia-shortcodes/masonry_entries.php

Hello Ismael,
Thank you for your reply. The Zen menu logic unfortunately won’t help me. The wordpress “is user logged in” is close to what I need, but not quite.
Enfold already has the conditional menu logic, but I need an additional “if” condition. Instead of Enfold doing a if ( is_user_logged_in() ) { ... } and then hiding/showing menu items, I need it to do a if(!Dap_Session::isLoggedIn() ) { and then hide/show certain menu items.
I wouldn’t even mind replacing the existing Enfold condition of “if user is logged into wordpress” code with the “if user is logged into dap” code, since I’ll never need the “if is logged into wordpress” function.
In other words, I literally need Enfold to do a custom conditional menu logic check, and not one of the preexisting conditional menu logic checks, with that check being: if(!Dap_Session::isLoggedIn() ) {
just looked at the woo commerce plugin update to 2.1.3 and it say its a major update & “dont update till your theme is compatible”??
so is enfold ok to update for woo commerce??
I have Enfold 2.5.3 installed. I have tried linking to a direct mp4 video, a youtube video and one of your approved videos. I only get a black screen with a thinking wheel where the video is suppose to be. My video is less then 16,000 kb. I am looking at it in IE 11 and also Google Chrome. I have emptied all caches. What other suggestions do you have that I can try to get this to work.
Thanks,
Wendy

I have a fresh WordPress install (3.8) and I have uploaded the theme to the /wp-content/themes folder. I have tried both the FTP and Admin upload methods. Both methods successfully install the theme without error and it shows up properly within the Appearance/Themes admin selection screen. However, when trying to Preview or Activate the theme I receive a White Screen with the following error
“The server closed the connection without sending any data.”
I have validated that my WordPress memory is set properly:
define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘128M’);
define(‘WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘256M’);
I have turned on debug:
define( ‘WP_DEBUG’, true );
define( ‘WP_DEBUG’, false );
I have tried to download the files again both (full and WordPress only) and different browsers. I have installed other themes successfully before and I am not having any issues with the default WordPress themes.
Am I missing something?
Hi,
I’m trying to figure out how to do text image overlays, similar to the 3 boxes shown near the bottom of this page: http://www.sapient.com/en-us/sapientmphasize.html (Our Experience, What We Do, …). I’m trying to replicate a similar look for a site by 3 images on the home page that have text overlayed on top but haven’t been able to figure it out in the Enfold theme. Could someone provide some guidance?
Thanks,
Nick
So my problem is that the website I’m creating doesn’t look great in a responsive setting. I also am not a fan of how Enfold handles the responsive look on smart phones (white space gaps are far too large, etc).
So I want to keep the website fixed, but unfortunately the fixed setting causes the full-width masonry gallery to glitch up (odd flickers, gaps become uneven, etc). So basically, I want to make the page with the fullwidth masonry responsive, but keep the rest of the website as fixed.
Here is a link to the website: http://goo.gl/TyXQI8
It is the portfolio page that I want to keep responsive.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. :)
Hey guys – I am freakin out because of the facebook share function! I allready tried 4 different social share plugins, but always the same problem.
If you click on the share button the pop up opens perfectly, but in the “share window” is only the URL of the blog post visible, and nothing else. No Post Image, no excerpt of the article! Here’s a screenshot…

How can we solve this problem?
This theme is absolutely great, and I can’t believe that such basics will not work and cause issues. We’ve also tried the actual social plugin on another website of us, and it works perfect. So as allready many other users had the same problem, the problem must be caused by the theme or what else could it be?
Really looking forward to your help! If you want to test it out on our site – please visit: http://internet-solutions-group.de/willkommen-bei-der-isg/

}

Hey!
It is not possible to have a different menu on certaion page. But you can add all of your pages to your menu and using custom CSS, you can remove certain menu items on certain page by adding following code to Quick CSS in Enfold theme options under Styling tab
.page-id-1122 li#menu-item-2271 { display: none; }
It will remove menu item with 2271 ID on the page with 1122 ID. You can right click on Chrome or Firefox to inspect elements to find ID’s http://i.imgur.com/HyPTCRg.jpg

Hey!
Yes, you should add the code to Quick CSS in Enfold theme options under Styling tab. I have noticed there is dot missing in front of big-preview class. Try adding it, if that does not work, please try adding !important to force it as following
.postid-5712 .big-preview {
display: none!important;
}
Best regards,
Yigit
Hey!
Please add following code to Quick CSS as well
#top .avia_cart_buttons .button { clear: none !important; }

Hey fritz_enfold!
You are going to need to hire a freelance developer on Microlancer or Codeable for that kind of customization as it is beyond the scope of support we can provide. You can also request quote here.

Hey paulrt27!
You can set up a local installation ( Please see -http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-install-wordpress-on-your-windows-computer-using-wamp/ ) then move it to live server – see http://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/move-from-a-local-installation-to-a-live-server/

just a basic question, is it possible to build a new site using enfold and then add a domain name to it later. i’ve only ever made a wordpress site before using a theme by uploading the relevant theme into the correct place using ftp, which was already linked to a domain.
it would be useful if i could just build a site on some new hosting with no domain assigned, and then when finished transfer a domain over from another hosting provider, to link up with the newly built site on the new hosting.
another advantage of this would be no down time.
thanks,
paul
Yes, i understand what’s happening now, the likes buttons that should be appearing in the portfolio ajax preview are appearing at the bottom. This is a plugin compatibility issue, one easy fix would be to use a non-ajax portfolio.

I have tried, I’m using the Enfold Options Background settings. Is there another method in adding the bckg? So far it just allows me to upload but doesn’t save the image as a choice.
BEcause we are using the plugin for the rest of the site. Unfortunately, the portfolio entries do not give an option to not display. All other posts and pages do.
Hey!
Why not use the Facebook like button code you can generate here?
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/like-button/
You can paste it as HTML in a Text widget.

Hey!
You can try it without losing anything:
1. Rename your current version of Enfold to something like enfold_old.
2. Upload the child theme (with functions.php and style.css modified).
3. Download and upload the latest version of Enfold with the folder name of enfold.
This way if things go wrong, you can simply switch between your old modified version of Enfold and the latest one, renaming it.
Best regards,
Josue
Hey guys,
After installing Enfold, I made some structural changes to functions.php and style.css. I want to update to the new version of Enfold, and don’t want to find out where my edits are and what they were, and manually apply my changes again. I was wondering if I could get around this by doing the following:
– Install the child theme I downloaded from the Envato page.
– Copy/paste the content of Enfold functions.php and style.css to the Child theme files
– Then update Enfold to the latest version
Will this circumvent losing any changes I’ve made?
Hello there,
I am trying to get Open Graph meta tags working with Enfold on http://www.next2know.org.
I am using the WordPress SEO plugin by Yoast but somehow something either in theme or something else is messing it up in linkedIn.
I’ve googled and found that facebook picks the tags up well.. Just LinkedIn isn’t working well…
Would really appreciate any help I can get!

Ok, so I really like the mega menu option but from what I can tell, when I had a mega menu in my selected menu, it would uncheck the “Enfold Main Menu” option by default. I’d really like to use your mega menu; any suggestions as to why this would happen even with all of my plugins disabled?
