Thanks Dude for the prompt and detailed response,
I was planning to comment out “require_once( ‘config-wpml/config.php’ );” in functions.php, but it won’t make any difference, as you ‘ve pointed out. I intent to open a new thread at wpml.org about the insane amount of requests that I’d recommend the WPML plugin. produces with Enfold…
Check out (at the bottom left footer..) this empty page – http://goo.gl/ehur4 – it makes 116 queries with almost no content.
FYI Enfold – without WPML activated – produces less than 50..
Thanks again for your response, I will follow your suggestion.
Hi guys , just bought enfold for my site http://www.blue2x.com
I used a thematic child theme before but my coding skills now are rusty and I don’t know much php. Anyways I need help on
>>
Creating the homepage – In my old site, the recent posts is the homepage of my site. I want to create a static homepage just like the enfold sample. I understand you need to add a new “page” ( homepage ) and use the advance layout editor.
So in the advance layout editor.
1. Full width easy slider ( not sure what is used in the enfold sample ). What is the ideal size for the images so it can be viewed in multiple platforms.
2. Just like the enfold homepage there are 3 columns with images on top. I understand you need to add 3 columns, but how about adding the images ?
3. I want my blog url to show the recent posts, how do I do this ?
4. Is it necessary to create a child theme when making changes ( customizing colors etc ) not touching any css ?
Yes, Enfold uses a special config file (located in wp-contentthemesenfoldconfig-wpml) which is required to use all theme features with WPML. Without the config.php file the portfolio custom post type won’t translate properly and you can’t set different theme options for different languages (which is necessary if you want to set a different logo, etc. for each language). The config file itself doesn’t “break” Polylang for sure but the main problem is that our theme isn’t “prepared” for Polylang. All translation plugins require hooks (actions or filters) and translation functions to manipulate the query or output based on the current selected language and imo Polylang won’t work without some theme code adjustments. There’s no need to turn existing code “off” because it won’t be executed anyway if WPML isn’t installed/activated but you’d need to “add” new code which integrates Polylang into Enfold. That said I’d stick with WPML because we can’t help you with polylang, qtranslate or other translation plugins out there.
Hi Kriesi,
Great theme, I’m sure it will feature first at Themeforest very soon.. Worked with a dozen themes – so far never seen something quite like it. I’m impressed.!
Although I’ve used WPML in the past – still using it in some projects – it seems that it doubles (sometimes triple..) the database queries, for no apparent reason. This happens only with the Enfold theme.
I’ve tried a free plugin – called Polylang – which works great and it’s extremely lightweight, but for some reason both original and translated posts, portfolio items, etc are not displayed (even though the categories are selectable through the page builder).
Is Enfold built with WPML dependencies and if this is the case is there a way to ” turn them off ” so that I can use another plugin?
thx
Most of the elements are the same and where the images are not allowed to be shared, those items have not been included.
The initial slideshow *is* included though it doesn’t included all slides. They are all however able to be re-created using the Layerslider options.
The shop from the demo is just the default woocommerce shop with no alterations that don’t come up automatically with the theme.
The menu is only different in that it doesn’t have a mega menu set up, however the documentation links to a video showing it a bit http://docs.kriesi.at/enfold/documentation/index.html#mega
But no, it isn’t possible for us to supply the demo site xml file.
An example of the demo content installed after a fresh installation can be seen here at around 5 minutes: https://vimeo.com/channels/aviathemes/64927356

Hi Max,
The tracking field for the theme only adds in whatever code you put into it to the bottom of your site. So if it isn’t tracking things correctly, there isn’t any interference from the theme.
What you can try is to remove the tracking code from the Enfold option and instead add it to the WooCommerce settings. Or, you can follow the directions from your tracking code source and add the code directly into the footer.php file of the theme.
Regards,
Devin
Hi Andy,
You could try something like this in a media query for mobile and below:
#menu_section .opened_menu {
border-top: 1px solid white !important;
}

Hi, please i have a big problem with other plugin widget with a linked images. The Enfold script add a property adn css of the all images and generate a graphic problem. How i can fix this? How i can disabled all Enfold effect for the images 3d plugin? Thanks
You can display the posts which contain a tag. Select the “Display entries from a custom taxonomy” and select “Post Tag” in the second dropdown. Then select one or more tags

There’s no feature to display the posts from a certain author though. You can try a workaround and use tags or categories instead or link to an author archive page (looks like: http://kriesi.at/themes/enfold/author/kriesi/ )
Hi,
FYI, I installed this basic plugin http://wordpress.org/plugins/logo-slider/ and it works quite well. Just added the shortcode in a textbox, and set the logo slider width to 450px in order to avoid (some of the) problems as it’s not responsive (even though doable through a custom css).
Too bad this plugin doesn’t support greyscale/colour logo transition…
Adding my 2 cents to see this feature in Enfold…
Hey!
Please create a new thread and post a link to your website.
Best regards,
Peter
I also want this, but I see an issue. Letters get cropped: Take a look at the G here: http://i41.tinypic.com/2vd5u9c.png
Hello Devin, I have inserted 📞 into the small infotext field within the enfold theme options, but it is not shown on the page. Firefox displays some kind of a “placeholder”, IE and Chrome ingnores it completly.
I have no plugin and dropin activated (even no bbpress or woocommerce) because i am working on a test implementation.
Hi,
the google ecommerce tracking is not working. The normal tracking is.
I activated all Tracking Code Options and inserted the code into the Enfold Theme Options.
Do you know why this is not working? Is it a know bug?
Thanks, Max
Yes, you need to update wp-contentthemesenfoldconfig-templatebuilderavia-template-builderassetsfontsentypo-fontello-charmap.php too. Some icons are (like the search icon, social icons, etc.) are also used by the theme – the config array can be found in functions.php:
$avia_config['font_icons'] = array(
'search' => '🔍', //36
'standard' => '✎', //6
'link' => '🔗', //40
'image' => '📷', //46
'audio' => '♪', //51
'quote' => '❞', //33
'gallery' => '🌄', //145
'video' => '🎬', //146
'info' => 'ℹ', //120
'next' => '', //190
'prev' => '', //187
'behance' => '', //246
'dribbble' => '', //223
'facebook' => '', //212
'flickr' => '', //206
'gplus' => '', //215
'linkedin' => '', //221
'pinterest' => '', //217
'skype' => '', //238
'tumblr' => '', //219
'twitter' => '', //210
'vimeo' => '', //208
'rss' => '', //98
'mail' => '✉', //5
'cart' => '',
'reload' => '🔄',
'details' => '📄',
'clipboard' => '📋'
);
This is a bug and we’ll fix it in the next update. For now you can fix it by modifying wp-contentthemesenfoldframeworkphpclass-framework-widgets.php. open up the file and replace:
if( $slides != "" && !empty( $slides[0]['slideshow_image'] ) )
{
$image = avia_image_by_id($slides[0]['slideshow_image'], 'widget', 'image');
}
$time_format = apply_filters( 'avia_widget_time', get_option('date_format')." - ".get_option('time_format'), 'avia_get_post_list' );
with
if( $slides != "" && !empty( $slides[0]['slideshow_image'] ) )
{
$image = avia_image_by_id($slides[0]['slideshow_image'], 'widget', 'image');
}
if(!$image && current_theme_supports( 'post-thumbnails' ))
{
$image = get_the_post_thumbnail( get_the_ID(), $image_size );
}
$time_format = apply_filters( 'avia_widget_time', get_option('date_format')." - ".get_option('time_format'), 'avia_get_post_list' );
Enfold will display the language switcher as soon as two or more languages are set up. Afaik no switcher will be displayed if a page isn’t translated (because it doesn’t make much sense and can irritate the user). You can set up WPML based on the official documentation: http://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/.
The theme doesn’t require any special configuration. Only one additional step is required – you need to configure the theme options (Enfold menu item on the admin page) for each language – i.e. you can set a different logo, etc. Just select the current language from the language dropdown in the admin panel; the theme name will change – eg to Enfold (DE) if you selected German – and you can configure & save the options for the German website. Then select another language and configure the options for this language, etc.
Dear all,
we think of switching our theme to Enfold, but have two questions before:
– Is it possible to add a custom text and picture to the product categorie pages (like in Abundance Theme)? It would be quite useful in terms of SEO.
– Is it possible to use a different slider plugin e.g. the revolution slider?
Thanks al lot!
Hello, how can I add new custom post type on ” Enfold Thema” ?
Hi Nick
Thanks for your response. I have just tried doing the editing on Chrome and that worked perfectly well! Then I went back to edit the same article on Internet Explorer and the “h1” “h2” and “h3” tags got stripped as soon as I went into the “Edit” mode.
So it would appear IE and Firefox are the culprits, although I can’t explain why.
I wonder if you are able to replicate the problem if you try editing using either IE or Firefox.
Cheers
Ivana
FYI, it’s found http://www.entypo.com/characters/ and the number is: 62253
What was the number that gave you the instagram icon then?
I have uploaded and am using the Enfold theme on my website. Every since I have downloaded it I felt like something was different. Today I realized that for some reason my site is not as crisp as what is displayed in the Live Preview from Theme Forest. I have dug through every setting in the theme that I can think of I have not idea why my site doesn’t seem to be “Retina Ready”. Help please?
Thanks, for some reason it only worked when I put the code in the quick CSS, but it’s good to go now.
Thanks much
Hi, I need a error in a page: Warning: preg_replace() [function.preg-replace]: Compilation failed: regular expression is too large at offset 56431 in /home/mulheres/public_html/mulheres_2013/wp-content/themes/enfold/config-templatebuilder/avia-template-builder/php/template-builder.class.php on line 584
What this is?
Hi, I’m try to add more icon font, but without lucky. I’ve tried to export new collection from fontello.com and simply replace original files but it results in wrong icons show on my site and no new icons showed in the builder part.
Some more suggestion on how to use different sets of font icons? The .php files into the folder (enfoldconfig-templatebuilderavia-template-builderassetsfonts) contains list of code to use in builder, should I replace with one indexing all the icons exported from fontello?
Thanks for the support.
Hi!
The arrows on the images in portfolio (for switching between images) is not working in internet explorer, only in Chrome and Firefox. The circles at the bottom is working though. I noticed that this goes for your demo site for Enfold too, so I guess it’s not related to just my site. Any ideas how to fix this?
Hi,
Here is the css. Please add it to /css/custom.css or to Quick CSS located in Enfold > Layout .. on bottom of the page. … there is an outline which is not seen, i left it as grey, though you can change it whichever way you want in this css
#top .rounded-container {
background: white;
border-color: grey;
}
Thanks,
NIck
I can’t find the styling option to change the color of heads in Enfold. Please let me know. Thanks!
