Hey fixedopsinsight!

Actually I’m using Formidable on my website ( http://inoplugs.com/contact ) with Enfold and it works just fine. Can you elaborate on “it crashes” please?

Best regards,
Peter

Hi borkent!

If you want to overwrite an existing shortcode create a “shortcodes” folder within the child theme directory, then copy the /wp-content/themes/enfold/config-templatebuilder/avia-shortcodes/masonry_entries.php into the child theme “shortcodes” folder and modify the php code. At least add following code into the child theme functions.php file

add_filter('avia_load_shortcodes', 'avia_include_shortcode_template', 15, 1);
function avia_include_shortcode_template($paths)
{
	$template_url = get_stylesheet_directory();
    	array_unshift($paths, $template_url.'/shortcodes/');

	return $paths;
}

This code will make sure the the shortcode file of the child theme is loaded first and you can overwrite the parent theme slideshow shortcode file with the child theme.

Cheers!

Hi Alcadis!

It’s actually not a theme problem but a limitation of The Events Calendar plugin. However I posted a workaround here: https://kriesi.at/support/topic/enfold-and-the-event-calendar-plugin/#post-174332

Hey pmpenguin!

1) Please deactivate all plugins – maybe a caching plugin causes the issue.

2) If 1) doesn’t help go to Enfold > Theme Options and click the “Save” button to regenerate the dynamic stylesheet. If it doesn’t help use ftp to access your server and navigate to wp-content/uploads/dynamic_avia/. Delete the css file within this folder and then click the “Save” button on the theme options page to regenerate the stylesheet.

Cheers!

Hi!

Please go to /wp-content/uploads/ and create a new folder called “dynamic_avia” (without the quotes). Then set the folder permission to 777 and go to Enfold > Theme Options and click the “Save” button to regenerate the dynamic stylesheet.

Best regards,

Hi!

You can’t overwrite the entire function with a hook. You can either use the “avf_title_args” hook to change certain options/parameters – i.e. like

add_filter('avf_title_args', 'avf_blog_title', 10, 2);
function avf_blog_title($args, $id) {
	$args['heading'] = 'h2';
	return $args;
}

or (if you want to modify major parts of the function) copy the entire function from functions-enfold.php to your child theme functions.php and it will overwrite the parent theme code/function.

Best regards,
Peter

Hey!

The blog works now: EDITED- if you want to use an “advanced layout” blog element you must not select this page as blog page (Enfold > Theme Settings). If the same page is selected as blog page Enfold will load a different, special blog template and then the advanced layout elements (i.e. masonry blog) won’t show up. I selected a different page as blog page now and the masonry grid works.

Cheers!
Peter
