Hello,
Three questions please – (perhaps one should actually be in a different post?)
1. I want to do the same as webbee – modify the child functions.php file to change image sizes. Do I understand correctly from this thread that this is not possible right now? I def. prefer not to add plugins unless absolutely necessary, but it sounds like the parent functions.php had to be modified. Yes or no? If so, how do I do this and will I lose the change with an update?

2. You said above “You have to put your code in the child theme in an action hook:” If I post the code (I’ve copied in below) into the child functions.php file – exactly what needs to be posted with it to make it override the parent?

I changed to Enfold from another theme (loving it so far) and know that I need to regenerate the thumbnails, but I would like to set and test sizes. I want to test with how big images can be without slowing down site and see how various options look before making a decision about the final layout. Last question may belong in another post, but I can’t find search results that address it and this is what I hope to do with the child theme…

3. Since my site features video and websites, I want proportions to be (at least roughly) 16:9 for all thumbs/images associated with the video category, post format and specific tags. (It would be cool to have 4:3 or even square for the website items, but I can live without that if needed.) The site is small/new enough that I can delete and re-upload images if necessary, because speed on mobile vs great looking video is the decision I am facing when I select optimal sizes.

I’m starting with 1920X1080 images (or could use 1280X720) as large screen shots for videos, but can anyone advise/explain what – if anything – will happen to the responsive/mobile version if I start changing the proportion here?
I did find the section (copied below) in the parent functions file that I assume I would need to modify:

/*
 * Register additional image thumbnail sizes
 * Those thumbnails are generated on image upload!
 *
 * If the size of an array was changed after an image was uploaded you either need to re-upload the image
 * or use the thumbnail regeneration plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/
 */

$avia_config['imgSize']['widget']  = array('width'=>36,  'height'=>36);      // small preview pics eg sidebar news
$avia_config['imgSize']['square']  = array('width'=>180, 'height'=>180);   // small image for blogs
$avia_config['imgSize']['featured']  = array('width'=>1500, 'height'=>430 );  // images for fullsize pages and fullsize slider
$avia_config['imgSize']['featured_large'] = array('width'=>1500, 'height'=>630 );   // images for fullsize pages and fullsize slider
$avia_config['imgSize']['extra_large']  = array('width'=>1500, 'height'=>1500 , 'crop' => false);   // images for fullscrren slider
$avia_config['imgSize']['portfolio'] = array('width'=>495, 'height'=>400 );   // images for portfolio entries (2,3 column)
$avia_config['imgSize']['portfolio_small']  = array('width'=>260, 'height'=>185 );    // images for portfolio 4 columns
$avia_config['imgSize']['gallery']  = array('width'=>710, 'height'=>575 );    // images for portfolio entries (2,3 column)
$avia_config['imgSize']['magazine']   = array('width'=>710, 'height'=>375 );    // images for magazines
$avia_config['imgSize']['masonry']    = array('width'=>705, 'height'=>705 , 'crop' => false);   // images for fullscreen masonry
$avia_config['imgSize']['entry_with_sidebar']  = array('width'=>710, 'height'=>270);   // big images for blog and page entries
$avia_config['imgSize']['entry_without_sidebar']= array('width'=>1030, 'height'=>360 );   // images for fullsize pages and fullsize slider

//overwrite blog and fullwidth image on extra large layouts
if(avia_get_option('responsive_layout') == "responsive responsive_large")
{
     $avia_config['imgSize']['gallery']  = array('width'=>845, 'height'=>684 );  // images for portfolio entries (2,3 column)
     $avia_config['imgSize']['entry_with_sidebar']   = array('width'=>845, 'height'=>321);   // big images for blog and page entries
     $avia_config['imgSize']['entry_without_sidebar']= array('width'=>1210, 'height'=>423 );   // images for fullsize pages and fullsize slider
}

Is there an easier/simpler way to approach this? Anyone else doing mostly video who has a solution?
Thanks so much for any assistance with this.

Hi!

No because it seems like you’re using a php script which is not part of the theme and which resize the images on the masonry page completely independent from the featured image size. The script adds a php parameter to the images and resizes them based on this parameter. I.e. the first image url here: http://shutterliving.com/homepage/recent-work/ points to http://i2.wp.com/shutterliving.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/shutterLIVING.com-Jamie-A-Cowan003.jpg?fit=705%2C705 and thus the image is resized to 705px. The original image (with the size of 800×533: http://i2.wp.com/shutterliving.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/shutterLIVING.com-Jamie-A-Cowan003.jpg ) is not used.

Cheers!

Hi Ti7V!

Try to replace this code in enfold/config-templatebuilder/avia-shortcodes/magazine.php:

			if($style == 'small')
			{
				if(empty($this->atts['thumbnails']))
				{
					 $image = "";
					 $extraClass = "av-magazine-no-thumb";
				}
			}
			else
			{
				$excerpt = !empty($entry->post_excerpt) ? $entry->post_excerpt : avia_backend_truncate($entry->post_content, apply_filters( 'avf_magazine_excerpt_length' , 60) , apply_filters( 'avf_magazine_excerpt_delimiter' , " "), "…", true, '');
			}

with:

			if($style == 'small')
			{
				if(empty($this->atts['thumbnails']))
				{
					 $image = "";
					 $extraClass = "av-magazine-no-thumb";
				}
			}

				$excerpt = !empty($entry->post_excerpt) ? $entry->post_excerpt : avia_backend_truncate($entry->post_content, apply_filters( 'avf_magazine_excerpt_length' , 60) , apply_filters( 'avf_magazine_excerpt_delimiter' , " "), "…", true, '');

Hey!

I activated some plugins and got this error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 491520 bytes)…

You can fix it by editing wp-config.php -see : http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/fix-wordpress-memory-exhausted-error-increase-php-memory/ or http://faq.wpde.org/exhausted-php-memory/ . I recommend to set the allocated memory to 128M

Hey adwordsfriends!

1) You can use this code to remove the default theme flags completely – insert it into the functions.php file:

add_action('after_setup_theme','avia_remove_main_menu_flags');
function avia_remove_main_menu_flags(){
        remove_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'avia_append_lang_flags', 20, 2 );
        remove_filter( 'avf_fallback_menu_items', 'avia_append_lang_flags', 20, 2 );
        remove_action( 'avia_meta_header', 'avia_wpml_language_switch', 10);
}

The WPML plugin should add the language dropdown to the menu if you tick the “Display the language switcher in the WP Menu” option and select the main menu (or secondary menu) in the dropdown: http://www.clipular.com/c/5697699709976576.png?k=tR7hiYan-r1Pht6Rl__rwYgcx8k

Hey!

Did you try to use the “conditional menu” feature – you can activate it easily by adding one line of code to your child theme functions.php or enfold/functions.php file:

add_theme_support( 'avia_conditionals_for_mega_menu' );

It’s a native Enfold feature which helps you to use conditionals for menu items:

Hey!

I can recommend All-Inkl Hosting. Kriesi and I host our websites there, Kriesi uses a dedicated server, I host my websites on a shared host server. The service is great – they answer your emails often after 30 minutes, 24/7 week. They restore your website (files and database) if you mess something up, they upgrade the php and mysql version to the latest stable versions if you ask them to upgrade them and they allow cloud scripts like owncloud, etc. which also saves you the dropbox account. I even use them for my dynamic ip mappings (which saves me a dyndns or noip.com account). The price is imo fair.

Cheers!

Hey!

I posted a temporary fix here: https://kriesi.at/support/topic/conflict-with-enfold-and-seo-yeast-woo-commerce/#post-307331 – just insert the code into the child theme functions.php or enfold/functions.php. I first thought it’s a conflict between woocommerce and yoast seo but in fact it seems to be a bug in the wp seo plugin because any query (blog post query, woocommerce product query, etc) breaks the “seo analysis” function. Older yoast seo versions worked just fine with WooCommerce or blog queries and we didn’t change our theme code and hopefully the yoast team will fix this bug with the next update.

Best regards,
Peter
