Hi Peter, I’ve been using the grid layout. http://kriesi.at/themes/enfold/blog/blog-grid/
Best,
Paul
Hey guys,
just seeking a bit of practical advice on how to structure the blog on my site (I find it not so intuitive to understand how to do that):
Basically, I inserted in the menu a page called “Sharing The Secrets (Blog)” and would like it to be the main platform for accessing the articles.
I chose the ‘single author full width’ page, because I’d like to list samples of the articles that way. The page I build consists of two elements within the Avia builder at the moment:
-Blog Posts
-Post Slider
Is there any video tutorial on how to build the blog within Enfold? Is the blog architecture and the way it blends in the website different from creating a page (the “blog homepage”) and its subpages (the posts)?
How do I get rid of the dummy data blog pages without deleting them from my backend? They keep showing up on my general Blog page although they are not part of it, nor they are in any of the categories I made as default.
Any suggestions? Any examples you use I could look at to get inspiration and mostly understand how those pages are structured?
Thanks!
Antonio
Hey!
Yes, actually http://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/custom-language-switcher/ mentions another sort parameter and a function rewrite is not required.
You can try to replace following code in wp-contentthemesenfoldconfig-wpmlconfig.php:
$languages = icl_get_languages('skip_missing=0&orderby=id');
with
$languages = icl_get_languages('skip_missing=0&orderby=custom');
Best regards,
Peter
1. Minify the scripts and css, concatenate them, maybe minify also the html output.
2. Try to use a CDN.
3. This is maybe some overhead, but embedding images straight into the css decreases loadtime.
4. It seems your server supports with mod_headers – have a look if mod_expires is also activated. Add the corresponding directive into your .htaccess (content types like jpg,png,pdf and so on). This speeds up alot!
I did this with Enfold (didn’t have any major probs) and it was a boost about 60% (~92% gtmetrix.com, Grade B YSlow).
You can edit the meta information in wp-contentthemesenfoldincludesloop-index.php – search for:
echo "<span class='post-meta-infos'>";
echo "<span class='date-container minor-meta'>".get_the_time('d M Y')."</span>";
echo "<span class='text-sep'>/</span>";
if ( get_comments_number() != "0" || comments_open() ){
echo "<span class='comment-container minor-meta'>";
comments_popup_link( "0 ".__('Comments','avia_framework'),
"1 ".__('Comment' ,'avia_framework'),
"% ".__('Comments','avia_framework'),'comments-link',
"".__('Comments Disabled','avia_framework'));
echo "</span>";
echo "<span class='text-sep'>/</span>";
}
$taxonomies = get_object_taxonomies(get_post_type($the_id));
$cats = '';
$excluded_taxonomies = apply_filters('avf_exclude_taxonomies', array('post_tag','post_format'), get_post_type($the_id), $the_id);
if(!empty($taxonomies))
{
foreach($taxonomies as $taxonomy)
{
if(!in_array($taxonomy, $excluded_taxonomies))
{
$cats .= get_the_term_list($the_id, $taxonomy, '', ', ','').' ';
}
}
}
if(!empty($cats))
{
echo '<span class="blog-categories minor-meta">'.__('in','avia_framework')." ";
echo $cats;
echo '</span><span class="text-sep">/</span>';
}
echo '<span class="blog-author minor-meta">'.__('by','avia_framework')." ";
the_author_posts_link();
echo '</span>';
echo '</span>';
Open up wp-contentthemesenfoldframeworkphpclass-breadcrumb.php and delete following line:
$textdomain = 'avia_framework';
Then replace all occurences of
$textdomain
with
'avia_framework'
We’ll fix this in the next version. The problem is that WPML doesn’t “read” variables – thus it will only translate text strings if the textdomain is hardcoded.
Hmm, ok thanks for the information, but how do you suggest I add the shortcode in the desired location, then?
There are only the Enfold preset shortcodes in the advanced editor, so I assume you can’t add third-party shortcodes that way, but having to use the default editor means I can’t use any layouting, right?
Is there a workaround to still get the new shortcodes in the exact place in the layout?
Hi!
You just need to place your element into the wp-contentthemesenfoldconfig-templatebuilderavia-shortcodes folder. The template builder will initialize it automatically.
Regards,
Peter
Hi!
No, unfortunately the coming soon page does not support a countdown. You can try a plugin like: http://shailan.com/2276/how-to-add-a-countdown-to-your-post-using-shortcode/ but I didn’t test it with Enfold.
Regards,
Peter
I did run a check using some tool and the loading time was 9.x seconds with or without the css code above.
– So how can we for mobile devicer optimize and speed up performance?
For instance, on computers the image might be full page hence big in size. On mobiledevices the same image don´t need to be bigger then iPad or similare devices screen.
Try for yourself: http://www.SuicideRescue.se okey using my wifi but not using 3G or similar
Please advice
Add following code to the bottom of function.php:
$themeNice = avia_backend_safe_string(THEMENAME);
update_option("{$themeNice}_layerslider_activated", '0');
Then save the file, reload the option page and delete the code. This should force enfold to reimport the sliders.
We’ll fix this in the next version. For now open up wp-contentthemesenfoldconfig-templatebuilderavia-shortcodespostslider.php and replace
switch($contents)
{
case "excerpt":
$excerpt = $entry->post_excerpt;
$title = $entry->post_title;
break;
case "excerpt_read_more":
$excerpt = $entry->post_excerpt;
$excerpt .= $permalink;
$title = $entry->post_title;
break;
case "title":
$excerpt = '';
$title = $entry->post_title;
break;
case "title_read_more":
$excerpt = $permalink;
$title = $entry->post_title;
break;
case "only_excerpt":
$excerpt = $entry->post_excerpt;
$title = '';
break;
case "only_excerpt_read_more":
$excerpt = $entry->post_excerpt;
$excerpt .= $permalink;
$title = '';
break;
case "no":
$excerpt = '';
$title = '';
break;
}
with
$post_excerpt = $entry->post_excerpt;
if(empty($post_excerpt)) $post_excerpt = avia_backend_truncate($entry->post_content, apply_filters( 'custom_excerpt_length' , 45) , ".", "…", true);
switch($contents)
{
case "excerpt":
$excerpt = $post_excerpt;
$title = $entry->post_title;
break;
case "excerpt_read_more":
$excerpt = $post_excerpt;
$excerpt .= $permalink;
$title = $entry->post_title;
break;
case "title":
$excerpt = '';
$title = $entry->post_title;
break;
case "title_read_more":
$excerpt = $permalink;
$title = $entry->post_title;
break;
case "only_excerpt":
$excerpt = $post_excerpt;
$title = '';
break;
case "only_excerpt_read_more":
$excerpt = $post_excerpt;
$excerpt .= $permalink;
$title = '';
break;
case "no":
$excerpt = '';
$title = '';
break;
}
Hi,
For mobile deviced the Enfold theme is Beautiful however it takes a long time to load.
Someone pointed out that it might be my advanced layer that is causing this.
If i add the below CSS the advanced layer will not be displayes, however I wonder if this will
result in that content will be excluded from being loaded and resuult in faster loading time or not?
/* All Mobile Sizes (devices and browser) */
@media only screen and (max-width: 767px) {
.avia-layerslider {
display: none !important;
}
}
Yes, in wp-contentthemesenfoldconfig-templatebuilderavia-shortcodestestimonials.php replace
if($link) $output .= " – <a class='avia-testimonial-link' href='{$link}'>{$linktext}</a>";
with
if($link) $output .= " – <a target='_blank' class='avia-testimonial-link' href='{$link}'>{$linktext}</a>";
Hi,
Enfold 1.5 is available. Please download it on your themeforest account.

Hi,
You can find the theme styles on the CSS folder. In order to modify the theme, you can add CSS modifications on custom.css or your Quick CSS. Try the following:
.inner_sidebar {
margin-left: 20px;
}

Hi,
I accidentally deleted some layersliders inherent in Enfold Theme. I wasn’t able to save the code and so I am at lost now since, my favorite layerslider template was deleted.
I would like to know if it’s still possible to retrieve all the inherent layersliders that come with the Enfold template. I already tried deleting the theme, downloaded a fresh one and installing the freshly downloaded theme but I’m still getting the same.
Please help.

Gurmit
Hi,
Do you have WordPress 3.5 installed?
Try to increase the php memory limit:

This is maybe caused by your own css-styling – as far as I could figure this out, you are using a child theme. So you should check your stuff first…
On the second sight, there’s the alpha class missing on the surrounding container, but this won’t affect the box sizing. Also, there’s a margin which obviously shouldn’t be there.
Example:
Try to set this CSS:
.sidebar_left .content {margin-right:0;}
This solves the color section prob, but also affects other elements.
In addition, the style.css of your child is missing (Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) ).

This is all I can point out to you…
Hey I was including a portfolio area on my site and I clicked for there to be a Title and an Excerpt on the questions area and only the title is showing up.
http://www.thethirdchair.com/have-questions/
Also, on the choices theme there was a little box to the left that connected to the contact page. I wanted to use a plugin that duplicated that functionality. Any recommendations?
If you downloaded it from themeforest it should be the latest version, at least that was case for me.
Is there an update to Enfold 1.3.1? I just purchased and downloaded Enfold and it appears that there is a new version. How do I get that?
Thanks.
Try to get the theme work on WP V.3.5.1 – a german translation. WP resides on a local server (MAMP – on a Mac). When I carge “Themes” I can see the “Enfold”-Theme, and I can also activate it. But then I can´t configure the theme and I can´t goo back to my WP Dashboard.
Fix: I have to delete the theme to get WP work again.
Need help – please!
Pppfff, You’re right I’m using enfold and posted on the wrong forum… Please do that and I review the videos that Devin share, and I hope we can fix this issue.
Thanks again
First off, you are my favorite author of all time. I love the Enfold theme and would recommend it to everyone.
My site is currently live at http://www.sudobuild.com/
I have one issue and have seen it posted in support before but have noticed there is zero responses with a step by step resolution. My bug is that I cannot remove the following console error:
“NetworkError: 404 Not Found – http://sudobuild.com/wp-content/themes/FunMobility/config-layerslider/LayerSlider/skins/.DS_Store/skin.css”
Can you please tell me the exact steps to remove this error? This is a bit urgent. Thank you so much!
Hello,
A simple thing seeming so hard to achieve. :(
Does anyone know how and why ‘any’ plugins I try with Enfold to hide/restrict menu items ‘unless user is logged in’ are not working?
For example: http://wordpress.org/plugins/menu-items-visibility-control/ won’t work and I’m sure it’s something to do because mega menus is being used by Enfold?
I’m using WooCommerce plugin for WordPress also, considering your theme works along side of it.
Cheers,
Daniel
Hi BrandingLab,
You need to update the theme files to the most recent release that is available from your downloads on themeforest. This has a number of bug fixes that should help.
You may also need to increase the available memory for wordpress to use; take a look at the various ways here: http://www.dailyblogging.org/wordpress/increase-wordpress-memory-limit/
For the main question here, I’m not really clear on what is happening that should not. The theme uses lots of various means to pull in content from other pages (as part of the theme functions) but generally your main front page is set with the theme options and *not* via the wordpress Settings. So if you have the front page chosen there, try changing that to display blog posts instead so that the theme can control the frontpage output.
Then you can control the homepage layout completely from the one single front/home page of your choice.
Regards,
Devin
Hello,
Enfold is an awesome theme and I look to use it for ‘alot’ of future projects, obviously buying a new license for each product.
Anyways, I’m having an issue once I have installed the theme on a fresh installation of WordPress (newest stable one: 3.5.1). I also used the ‘import dummy data’ that came with the theme.
The Breadcrumbs show up like this:
You are here: / / / Hello world! Home Blog Uncategorized
Instead of what it should be:
You are here: Home / Blog / Uncategorized / Hello world!
Any ideas of what may cause this?
Cheers,
Daniel
Using the newest WP-Installation on a local server with MAMP (on a Mac). Updoaded the Enfold Theme via FTP-Programm into the “/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/baucoach_wp/wp-content/themes” Folder.
When I´ am starting the Dashboard and switch to Display / Themes I can see the Enfold Theme. When I activate it, this works, but afterwards I can never come back to my Dashboard. And I cannot change anything in the Enfold Theme.
Using a german wp Installation. Can´t image, what´s the issue?
