Devin,
Thank you so much. I went ahead and just uploaded the enfold.zip, but I found your video extremely helpful. Please let me about other videos you have for the Enfold template.
Thank you again,
Ray
I am aware I will need to enter the following:
// Show posts of ‘post’, ‘page’ and ‘movie’ post types on home page
add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘add_my_post_types_to_query’ );
function add_my_post_types_to_query( $query ) {
if ( is_home() && $query->is_main_query() )
$query->set( ‘post_type’, array( ‘post’, ‘page’, ‘Open Match Results’ ) );
return $query;
}
but not sure where this will need to go
I am currently using WCK Post type creator to create a new post type which has worked fine and I have added some additional custom fields in that post type.. however when I use the blogpost in the advanced layout and choose the relevant category that this would post to it is not picking the post up.. Do I need to add in a query to pick these up in the loop? and any ideas how I would do this?
Hi Ray,
I made a video walkthrough using FTP and free software to help out with just that: https://vimeo.com/channels/aviathemes/64927356
Its not as one-click as uploading through the wordpress admin but its a really good idea to get comfortable with the process as it gives you more control over updates and understanding how wordpress works.
Otherwise yes, you would just upload the enfold.zip folder using the wordpress admin interface.

Devin
I am very new to WordPress. When I upload my Zip file, am I uploading the entire downloaded file or just the Enfold zip?
Please help me with the installation process. I do not know what I am doing?
Regards,
Ray
Requested:
Would it possible to add in the "form element type" the choice of "uploading file".
Would be great !!!
I’ll add the form idea to the Enfold feature request topic.

Devin
Hi Colin,
First make sure that you are using the most up to date version of Enfold. That should be 1.8.1 or .1.8.2 if Kriesi has pushed that out when you read this.
I just tested the read more tag on my personal site and didn’t have any issues with it so as long as its added in and showing the line with the little more image it should work without issue.

Devin
Hi Chris,
There isn’t really a “best size” since the theme will create re-sized thumbnail images for the various grids and columns. Starting with something like 900×600 will give you a large enough size that it will never get stretched to fit a too-large area as long as its in a column.
The demo for the ajax portfolio uses images that start at 988×642. See: http://kriesi.at/themes/enfold/files/2013/04/dash-iphone2.jpg . Which generates http://kriesi.at/themes/enfold/files/2013/04/dash-iphone2-495×400.jpg for the three column view http://kriesi.at/themes/enfold/portfolio/portfolio-ajax/ .
So starting with a large enough image size to fit the smaller uses will give you the best result but how big to start with is up to you and what you have available.
For additional reference on all the image sizes the theme creates you can view the functions.php file starting at line 63.

Devin
Thank you Ismael! I’ll give those solutions a try. Will upgrading Enfold erase what I’ve already done?

Yeah I started out by Yoast SEO and it didn’t seem to list the pages, so I thought that was the initial problem so I went back to the SEO plugin I always use that works: All In One SEO Pack I also use the plugin: Google XML Sitemaps. I’ve added both the http:// and the http://www and done the prefer settings to www. and submitted the Sitemap a few times, now it says Submitted 23 pages, but has a – (dash) next to Indexed. Maybe it’ll take awhile? Usually it’s indexed in a few days when the site is new and I don’t even use webmaster tools. I guess I’ll just have to wait 2-4 weeks and hope for the best? lol I just hope I have set it up or I’ll be waiting more time after this time if you get me.
Just making sure that other sites that use Enfold are indexing their root page (homepage) correctly?
Thanks again!
1) If you get a php error (or “white screen of death”) you can try to increase the allocated php memory to 128M: http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Increasing_memory_allocated_to_PHP
Otherwise (if it’s a js/css, etc. error) please try to contact the plugin authors because this seems to be a plugin conflict between bbpress and sabai.
2) We’ll release an update which should fix all these wpautop issues soon. For now try open up wp-contentthemesenfoldconfig-templatebuilderavia-shortcodestextblock.php and replace
return "<div class='avia_textblock'>".wpautop( ShortcodeHelper::avia_remove_autop($content) )."</div>";
with
return "<div class='avia_textblock'>".ShortcodeHelper::avia_remove_autop($content)."</div>";
Hey,
Upgrade to Enfold 1.8.2.
Did you add any plugins prior to this issue? Please deactivate them, see if the slider works.
Increase your php memory limit to 128M or higher. Make sure you’re using wordpress version 3.5 up.
Edit wp-config.php, add this code:
define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘128M’);

Ismael
Hi,
Sorry for that. You should leave the theme version number or you’ll lose the theme settings configuration. We’ll update it for you.

Ismael
1) No, normally not. But you can check if the file is located in the right folder. Go to wp-content/themes/enfold/lang/ and make sure that pt_BR.po and pt_BR.mo are inside this folder.
2) How do I make pt-br my first language for the theme? – You must set the wordpress language to pt_br. This can be done by setting the WPLANG constant in wp-config.php: http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Language_and_Language_Directory
You can find all supported languages here: http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_in_Your_Language
When you put the “enfold” news widget in the footer, the header type and the time of post seem to be transparent in some what…they are always seem to be lighter.
thx.
Layerslider / Enfold 1.8.2
With the layerslider update included in 1.8 the scale seems to work now but the rotate still does not…
I have had to enable:
Put JS includes to body
…to get the scale to work…
Any suggestions?
Hi Devin,
Thanks for your response! I have built my entire site in Advance layout editor (Avia Layout builder) I created a slider and it appears at the top of my homepage while viewed in WordPress. When I go to my site: http://www.paradisechild.com the slider does not load. It appears I’m missing something in installing on my site. It sits in the “edit layer slider here” box at the top of the advanced layout editor along with all the enfold example layer sliders. Should I remove all those except for my own? Is this the reason its not loading?
I hope this makes sense and you can direct me to a solution. I really need to complete my site asap and this has been an extremely frustrating road block in an otherwise great theme.
thanks again
Will
I have tried all of the WP mail plugins and the one “Configure SMTP” works the best… Works perfectly with Enfold since they did what DUDE said above (had to use a filter before) … a simple resolve may be to set up a gmail account just for the site to send out mail…

Mark L. Lee
Glad we could help :)
Let us know if you have any other questions or issues.
Hi theroyds,
What host is this with? I’ve not had any issues installing it via ftp with something like 30 times installing on various servers.
You can try uploading the theme in groups of files (each folder in turn) in case the server is having an issue with that long of a connection. If you have not already you can see a walk through of installing via ftp in this video I did: https://vimeo.com/channels/aviathemes/64927356

Hi DigitalMedia,
Please do not make single topics for feature requests/suggestion. There is a dedicated topic for it here https://kriesi.at/support/topic/enfold-feature-requests

Hi frederikbf1,
I’ve moved this over to the Enfold forum since it was in the General Questions section.
There isn’t an option at the moment to add nofollow to any individual button so unfortunately there isn’t anything we can do to help on that at the moment.
For the post editing issues, I’m not sure why that would happen but if you have any active plugins try disabling them to make sure there isn’t a conflict there.

Devin
I have been using Enfold with the child setup since v1.7.1 and I upgraded to 1.8.1 the other day and changed the childs style.css version number to be the same as the true theme version and lost all of the settings for the theme options…
Should I just leave the version number the same when upgrading the theme and just know that I am uploading the newest version?
Or is there a safe way to change the child version number?
Regards,
Mark L. Lee
Thanks. Can you also clean up my old thread, https://kriesi.at/support/topic/newbie-looking-for-a-little-help#post-122164 ?
I had not edited any files in the theme (this is deliberate, for easy upgrades). I just deleted the whole enfold folder and extracted 1.8.2 (I already had done 1.8 a few days ago). Problem is still there. I have only added the custom css described in this thread, so are you sure it does not occur in the base theme? As in the screenshots, I am using the drop down not the icon menu.
Cheers,
Jason
Hello, Over two weeks ago I created a thread which is still not resolved. IT is getting a bit urgent now.
I am using a plugin to create user profiles (it’s called User Profiles Made Easy from Codecanyon) – however I and my clients cannot upload user profile pictures. The plugin is working perfectly, for sure. It is definitely a problem with the Enfold theme: when I change the theme to twentyeleven or even one from WPMU DEV, I have no problem uploading a picture (that’s with all the plugins activated). Then I also tried deactivating all the plugins except Userprofiles with Enfold and I could not upload any pictures.
Following a brief correspondence with Nick from this forum, I followed his advice and checked out the memory: my site’s memory is set at 500.
My only conclusion can be that something in the theme is causing the issue.
Can anyone suggest any possible solutions? Unfortunately, I am not a webdeveloper.
Thanks.
Hi WardenCliff,
Unfortunately with wordpress there is no global reset on theme options except for deleting the database data for that specific theme. So you could re-install your wordpress database over again or just delete all your pages, posts, images, menu items and at that point re-importing the dummy data would be a somewhat soft reset.
Make sure that when you delete your posts and pages that you also clear your pages trash so that you don’t get blog-2, somepage-2 for the url pretty permalink names.

Devin
Hello Joelleknopp,
I also have this problem and from previous experience this is what I believe to be the issue. This theme is using the wp_mail function and inside of it, they are declaring the “FROM” in the header (using the header option detailed in wp_mail) and while this works for gmail, it doesn’t work for all email providers (say one from your host, in my case, dreamhost) and gets marked as spam and doesn’t make it to your actual email inbox.
I do not have a quick fix as I am not familiar enough yet with Enfold’s php files but when I find the area I will respond again with the fix. In the meantime, if you do find where they are using the wp_mail function please just modify it to remove any headers.
I recently built a website for someone and we had this same issue (mail would deliver to gmail but not to their hosted email on bluehost). Turns out if was the header option in wp_mail that causes issues with some email providers.
