First of all I have to say Enfold is the best theme I ever worked with. You do an awesome job!

While working with the theme I came over two issues causing me some headaches and a serious amount of time to solve. I think this issues can arise for a lot of customers and a future update should take this into account.

1. The form builder included in Enfold is great for some smaller contact or feedback forms. However if you need advanced features like file upload or special field conditions you need to use 3rd party plugins as recommended by the Kriesi Team. I tried a few but was not satisfied with the output. The main issue is the CSS declaration for any kind of form fields in Enfolds base.css. Finally i had to use a child theme, use a modified base.css which has to be loaded from a modified function.php. While this is possible it might be to difficult for many users. My suggestion: move the CSS definition for forms into a separate css file and introduce a checkbox in the theme options to disable loading of this css styles.

2. The team member element included with Enfold is nice but due to the fact it is only page oriented (versus a custom post type available globally) forced me to use a 3rd party solution. All the plugins I tested have one thing in common: they makes use of single page settings (single vs. page). Because Enfold does not have global settings for single.php any plugin using it will display the site with header (breadcrumbs, title) and sidebar. If you dont want that you have to write your own single-xxx.php file and put it into a child theme. This might be to complicated for most users as you have to even write your own loop code depending what design you want. And getting the right CSS classes gives you a hard time. My suggestion: Introduce a single setting (for individual posts) that differ from the ‘single blog post’ settings. There are many plugins out there which use the single-xxx.php to display content.

Keep on the fantastic work!

Hey!

I’m not familiar with the jpreloader script code but I’m pretty sure that it’s not a problem with the jquery migrate code because the migrate code just extends jquery with “deprecated” syntax/functions. The preloader code is optimized for jquery 1.7.1 which contained all “migrate” functions in the jquery core code and thus I’m not even sure if the jpreloader.js would work without the migrate script if you use the new jquery 1.10.x version which does not contain many of the old jquery 1.7.1 functions (like bind(), delegate(), etc.).

If you can’t get the jpreloader script to work I recommend to try another preloader script (I can’t recommend a specific script though because I never tested such a script with Enfold or another Kriesi theme) or try to hire someone here: http://www.microlancer.com/ or here: http://kriesi.at/contact/customization to implement the script for you.

Best regards,

Hi!

Please try following code

.tablepress tbody td{
border-left: none;
}

to remove the border from the remaining table fields.

Hi!

At the moment cpts or multiple portfolio post types are not planned but you can suggest the feature here: https://kriesi.at/support/topic/enfold-feature-requests/ and we’ll implement it if more users request it. If you’re in a hurry you can also hire someone to implement this feature. A developer who is familiar with the theme framework can implement cpts with some hours of work.

Cheers!
Peter

Hi!

But if your website isn’t responsive you shouldn’t activate the “responsive” option for the slider. Otherwise the slider tries to scale down based on the screen size whereas the other theme elements are not responsive and won’t scale down. Please go to the option screen of layerslider, set the width to 100% and deactivate the responsive mode: http://www.clipular.com/c/5777169653432320.png?k=kReMjoIo-DB9Ntjk1Us2tknuNdg

Hey PPCHound!

Yes – open up /wp-content/themes/enfold/includes/loop-index.php and replace

        //on single page replace the link with a fullscreen image
        if(is_singular())
        {
            $link = avia_image_by_id(get_post_thumbnail_id(), 'large', 'url');
        }

with

        //on single page replace the link with a fullscreen image
        if(is_singular())
        {
            $link = avia_image_by_id(get_post_thumbnail_id(), 'large', 'url');
        }

        $external_link = get_post_meta($the_id, 'external_url');
        if($external_link) $link = $external_link;

Cheers!

Hi!

1) The submenu modification would require some additional coding (js/css) and this customization is beyond the scope of our support forum. I recommend to hire someone here: http://www.microlancer.com/ or here: http://kriesi.at/contact/customization who can help you to modify the theme files or you can search for a menu plugin here: http://wordpress.org/plugins/

2) You can use following code to align the menu items on the left side and to remove the dots for the child menu items

#top .sidebar_left .widget_nav_menu li {
text-align: left;
}

#top .sidebar_left .widget_nav_menu ul ul li:before {
content: "";
}

Best regards,
Peter

Hi..
1. If possible, please add function to move the comments into the tab instead of in the bottom of the page. Need it to be on portfolio.
2. Please discard the portfolio slug, and make it directly http://www.webname.com/posrtfolio-name.
With both feature above, you’ll be perfect!
