Your designer is right and wrong. They’re right that it would take a lot of work to recreate the example website in any WordPress theme, especially since the example is all flash. But, you can use Enfold or any other theme to create an HTML alternative to your all flash example. I agree with Torlock that you could create a more extensive and better website using Enfold or any of the more popular WordPress themes.

I believe your designer is wrong with their comments about ruining optimizations. With the use of child themes you can make changes to appearance, etc. and continue to keep these settings while updating the theme core. WordPress actually recommends creating a child theme, and many designers (e.g. Kriesi) have child themes as part of their theme files.

There are security vulnerabilities in most if not all programs. So as developers find issues with their software they close the hole, therefore it is essential to keep your software up to date. Furthermore, hackers love going after php code and they look for security holes. Therefore, it is important to keep your programs up to date.

Just like any piece of software developers are constantly adding functionality to their software to make it easier to use, more powerful, etc. so you need to keep they software up to date. WordPress, Joomla and any other CMS is no different. So they have to be updated on a regular basis.

In the back-end got to: Enfold –> Styling –> Main Content (Tab)

You will then see ‘Main Content background color’ change it to white. Also your font colour is white so you might want to make that darker.

I think the designer is probably right. It would be quicker and easy to design a theme from scratch to achieve this. Also, although the joveniajuveler looks alright I think the Enfold theme (and WordPress) would enable you to create a more extensive and better website.

Kisses Kriese Love love your Template by far the prettiest out there

You can find it line 80 in the “footer.php” file :

// you can filter and remove the backlink with an add_filter function

// from your themes (or child themes) functions.php file if you dont want to edit this file

// you can also just keep that link. I really do appreciate it ;)

$kriesi_at_backlink = apply_filters(“kriesi_backlink”, ” – Enfold Theme by Kriesi“);

You can comment that line or as explained by him functions.php

Ismael,

I found this thread and replaced the entire theme folder via FTP. We have only made customizations through the enfold theme options and advanced layout editor. Upon replacing the theme files, we did lose some configuration and theme styling modifications that we made through the enfold menu. All of the styling reverted to the default colors, etc. I ended up having to revert to a backup and I’m concerned about attempting the update again. I was just replacing individual files until I saw the version 1.4 note that recommended replacing the entire folder.

Can you help?

Hi Kriesi, in one word: “awesome”! It’s really fun to work with Enfold. Thanks for making it so flexible and easy to use!

Here’s my “whishlist” so far :-)

1. More Header and Top bar options to choose, e.g. centered Logo, right Logo, Tagline etc.

2. Add Page Builder to Product Pages.

3. Add social sharing elements to Product Pages and Blog Elements.

4. Option to choose a fixed “cart” within the Header / add cart somewhere to Header. Would be essential if Enfold is used for ecommerce sites.

Sometimes wishes might come true ;-) Thanks al lot!

Hello, This is by far the best theme I’ve ever build on!

I would love to be able to select more social icons for the header. Specially; Foursquare, LinkedIn, YouTube and TripAdvisor.

I’ve seen other users changing them on their own so if there could be a video tutorial on how to do this using fontello.com for newbies like me, that would be awesome. Thank you!
