I am trying to exclude posts (woocommerce products) which have a specific category (id=340) from the ‘avia_ajax_search’ popup.
have copied the function if(!function_exists(‘avia_ajax_search’))

from /enfold/functions-enfold.php to /enfold-child/functions.php
Is this correct, or do i need a seperate /enfold-child/functions-enfold.php

if(!function_exists('avia_ajax_search'))
{
	//now hook into wordpress ajax function to catch any ajax requests
	add_action( 'wp_ajax_avia_ajax_search', 'avia_ajax_search' );

	function avia_ajax_search()
	{
	    global $avia_config;
		
        $exclude_category_id = 340; // Replace with the actual category ID

Dear Enfold support team,
I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out regarding an issue I’ve encountered with the Enfold theme on our website, https://csrf-southsudan.org/.
Upon upgrading our PHP version to 8.x, our website started displaying the following error: Fatal error: Unparenthesized a ? b : c ? d : e is not supported. Use either (a ? b : c) ? d : e or a ? b : (c ? d : e) in /home/httpd/vhosts/swisspeace.ch/csrf-southsudan.org/wp-content/themes/csrf-southsudan/functions-enfold.php on line 332.
Although we tried to address the issue by modifying the aforementioned line in the functions-enfold.php file, the problem persists. When we install and update the theme to its latest version, the site operates without the error, but some of our customized posts appear to be disrupted or data seems to be lost.

We understand that this might be related to the changes in the ternary conditional operators from PHP 7.4 to 8.x.

We would greatly appreciate your guidance on how to resolve this issue without losing our theme customizations. We are eager to maintain the integrity and functionality of our site and believe that your expertise will be invaluable in this process.

Thank you for your time and assistance. We look forward to your response.
Warm regards,
Tuncay Cicek

Hello,

Our client has a multisite where the following error appeared on the German and Italian versions:

Deprecated: Function create_function() is deprecated in /srv/www/dia/dia.aau.at/html/staging1/wp-content/themes/enfold-child_de/functions.php on line 135

As a precaution, we generated a staging page and updated the entire pages. After the theme was finished and WordPress was also updated to 6.3, the aforementioned error message remained and another one appeared on every page and also in the backend:

Deprecated: Function Class avia_style_generator was called with an argument that is deprecated since version 5.3! Trying to set protected/private property: avia_style_generator::print_extra_output – will become unavailable in a future release. Check for a set method or a filter. in /srv/www/dia/dia.aau.at/html/staging1/wp-includes/functions.php on line 5737

How can you fix these errors?
Thank you in advance.

Dear Team,

Our website employs the Enfold theme, with the current version being 3.8.5. However, when attempting to update the PHP version to the latest iteration (8.0 to 8.2), a fatal error occurs. In an effort to rectify this, we endeavored to upgrade the theme to its most recent version. Regrettably, this resulted in a complete overhaul of our website’s design.

We kindly request guidance on the optimal approach to address this issue. If necessary, I am prepared to provide the development server credentials. Below are the URLs for both the development and live websites:

Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
