What are the steps to ensuring a home page background video plays immediately without lag?
Currently, a video hosted at Vimeo is used in a Color Section as a Background Video. It takes too long to display. Also, if the browser tab is open and revisited later, the video doesn’t show at all—the browser must be reloaded for the video to show again, after a long delay of course.
The video URL has this appended: ?autoplay=1&loop=1&background=1&mute=1
Hi,
@Jason: You have probably enabled the Top Header before. If you really need to keep the left sidebar or header and still include a search field on the page for mobile view, you can try adding a Search element from the Advanced Layout Builder.

Please open another thread if you have more questions.
Best regards,
Ismael
Hi,
Thank you for the info.
We adjusted the code in the Quick CSS field a bit. It should be working correctly now.
@media only screen and (min-width: 769px) {
/* Add your Desktop Styles here */
#top .fullsize .template-blog .big-preview {
padding: 0 0 10px 0;
width: 40%;
}
.av-alb-blogposts .post-entry {
display: block;
}
.av-alb-blogposts .big-preview.single-big a {
height: 100%;
}
.av-alb-blogposts .big-preview.single-big a img {
object-fit: contain;
}
#top .fullsize .template-blog .post-title {
text-align: left;
font-size: 30px;
padding: 15px 0;
max-width: 800px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
#top .fullsize .template-blog .post-meta-infos {
text-align: left;
}
#top .fullsize .template-blog .post .entry-content-wrapper {
width: 60%;
float: left;
}
#top .fullsize .template-blog .blog-meta {
display: none;
}
#top .fullsize .template-blog .big-preview {
padding: 0 0 10px 0;
width: calc(40% - 50px);
float: left;
margin-right: 50px;
min-height: 200px;
}
}
@media only screen and (min-width: 989px) {
#top .fullsize .template-blog .big-preview img {
min-width: 494px;
}
}

Hey derdschuh,
Thank you for the inquiry.
Try adding this css code to properly resize the testimonial items on smaller screens:
@media only screen and (max-width: 1366px) {
/* Add your Mobile Styles here */
#top .av-minimal-toggle .toggle_content .avia-testimonial {
width: 50%;
display: block;
float: left;
}
}
@media only screen and (max-width: 768px) {
/* Add your Mobile Styles here */
#top .av-minimal-toggle .toggle_content .avia-testimonial {
width: 100%;
display: block;
float: none;
}
}
Result:

Hey RENZCOM,
Thank you for the inquiry.
Try to add this css code to adjust the header height in tablet landscape view:
@media only screen and (max-width: 1366px) {
.responsive.html_mobile_menu_tablet #top #header_main>.container .main_menu .av-main-nav>li>a, .responsive.html_mobile_menu_tablet #top #wrap_all .av-logo-container {
height: 90px;
line-height: 90px;
}
}

Hi,
You need to remove this css code if you want the featured image to resize automatically based on screen size. This rule sets a minimum height of 630px for the image, preventing it from shrinking while resizing the window. It does preserve the aspect ratio using object-fit: cover.
#top.single-post .fullsize .template-blog .big-preview img {
width: 1200px;
min-height: 630px;
object-fit: cover;
}
Best regards,
Ismael
That’s not what we’re looking for. If you look at the training page, as the viewer on a desktop computer (not in fullscreen) makes the page smaller or larger by adjusting the sides, the image changes size accordingly, both height and width. That’s what we want the Memo image to do. It did this automatically before the next-to-last update by adding this code to our custom CSS:
#top.single-post .fullsize .template-blog .big-preview img {
width: 1200px;
min-height: 630px;
object-fit: cover;
}
After that update and the latest one, the image stays the same height–nothing changes but the width. All we want is for the Memo image to act like all the other images, and I don’t understand why the same code no longer works.
Hey Chris,
The update to 7.1.3 has to be done manually from the version you are running, please refer to my replies in this thread: https://kriesi.at/support/topic/enfold-4-5-theme-update-update-failed-download-failed-a-valid-url-was-not-pro/#post-1021541
You can either update manually via FTP: https://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/how-to-install-enfold-theme/#theme-update, or upload the theme as if it was new under Appearance->Themes->Add New Theme.
If that doesn’t work then please try to delete the whole theme folder, then replace it with the new version. Make sure that you have backups of the site before starting updating.
Also please read this after you have updated: https://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/theme-registration/
We can’t say if your site will stay the same or not, it depends on what has been done to it. You can export the theme settings under Enfold->Import/Export though, and make sure that you have a backup of your old site before updating anything.
Best regards,
Rikard
Hi. I am struggling having my logo vertically centered on the header.
My logo size is 170×32.
The logo is vertically centered on mobile size only, when screen size is <=767 pixels.
From 768 to 989, I still have burger menu, but the logo is aligned to top.
On 990 and above, burger menu disappears, and the logo is still aligned to top.
Tested with Chrome and Firefox.
In the past I’ve tried playing with the top-padding value, but it was not working always well. I’d like to have a clean solution if possible…
Adding info to access the website in Private area.
Thanks in advance!
Dear Ismael,
Thank you for the reply. I thought the search icon used to be on my mobile site just next to the hamburger menu, so that is confusing to me…
I have it working fine on the left side of the desktop, but not on mobile… Can you give me any more directions on this?
Hi,
@Jason: As mentioned in the previous thread, the search icon only works for the Top Header. It is disabled by default for the left and right sidebar/header layouts. If you need the search icon to display, you’ll have to modify the avia_append_search_nav function in the enfold/includes/config-enfold/functions-enfold.php file.
Best regards,
Ismael
@ismael – i guess that this rule belongs to the ruleset that should show the burger menu on larger screens than the settings of 768px or 990px :
@media only screen and (max-width: 1295px) {
#top #header .av-main-nav > li.menu-item {
display: none!important;
}
#top #header .av-burger-menu-main {
cursor: pointer;
display: block!important;
}
}
so i guess that amyedwards misses the icon in between that 990px and her 1295px
try:
@media only screen and (max-width: 1285px) {
.responsive #top .av-main-nav #menu-item-search.menu-item-avia-special {
display: block;
}
}
Hey jerry,
I see that you are running an old version of the theme, could you try to update to the latest version (7.1.3) to see if that helps please?

Hello, I have a similar problem where the search icon is not showing on my mobile page. Under the “Main Menu” on my child theme, I have the switch on for “if enabled a search icon will be appended to the main menu that allows the user to perform an “AJAX” search.”
There is a mention that this will only be available when the “General Layout > Logo And Main Menu > Top Header” option is selected.
When I go to the above “General Layout” I have it set to “Left Sidebar” so not sure if this is the reason on the mobile, it is not showing at the top? On the desktop site I have the search as in the same “General Layout” there is an option for the “Main Menu Sidebar” and this is set to “Search”.
I am not using any special search tool and as I said on the Desktop version, it works correctly, just not on mobile.
Hi,
Thank you for the update.
Try adding this css code to remove the black bars and extend the video so that it goes underneath the header.
#top .av-video-slide embed, #top .av-video-slide iframe, #top .av-video-slide object, #top .av-video-slide video {
object-fit: cover;
}

Best regards,
Ismael
Hi Ismael,
The video shouldn’t have black bars at the top or bottom. The video should also display with a transparent header.
The original video I uploaded doesn’t include them, these only appear on WordPress. Could you advise how to remove them?
I’ve tried viewing it on two laptops, one plays the video with the black bars, while the other just shows a black screen, which is odd.
Hi Kresi team,
I’m experiencing an issue with the video uploaded to the top section of our homepage. On my end, the video appears completely black, while my coworker can see it but with black bars at the top and bottom, these bars aren’t part of the original video and seem to appear unexpectedly.
Please see the screenshots below for reference.
Hi,
This CSS is hiding it:
@media only screen and (max-width: 1295px) {
#top #header .av-main-nav > li.menu-item {
display: none !important;
}
}
Maybe you have added it under Appearance->Customise?
Best regards,
Rikard
Hi Ismael,
That css doesn’t seem to work. I had injected custom code into the function.php file to get the search bar to appear above the mobile menu but I’m looking for the icon to appear in the header, I’ve removed the custom code to ensure there’s no conflicts but it’s still not working. The plugin used is Fibosearch which is set up to use Enfold’s search bars which works great on desktop but I can’t get the default one to appear on mobile. I’ve had this problem previously with other sites and have had to use custom code but I need the Enfold default one to be visible here because of Fibosearch. I have tried to add their shortcode to the top bar but it really messes with the styling of the layout, it would be much better to have the icon in the space to the left of the logo.
Hi, I cleared my cache and also tried in an incognito window and another laptop that hasn’t visited the site before but I still see the hover text
Hey svweb,
Thank you for the inquiry.
Did you add this css code? It shifts the main container upward, causing it to overlap with the header.
#main {
margin-top: -150px!important;
}
This is how it should look normally without the css modification.

Try to replace it with this css code:
@media only screen and (min-width: 768px) {
/* Add your Desktop Styles here */
#main {
margin-top: -150px!important;
}
}
Best regards,

Hi,
Thank you for the update.
Looks like the script is working, but the isotope script still re-arranges the masonry items, placing the 4th item at the very end of the set. The isotope script is responsible for the masonry effect and sorting. Have you tried deleting that particular post (date August 13, 2025) and recreating it from scratch? You could try rephrasing the title a bit and adjust the image size.
Best regards,
Ismael
Hey AmyEdwards,
Thank you for the inquiry.
You can add the following css code to display the account and search icons on mobile view, but you’ll need additional style adjustments for the search field since you’re using a custom search option. We recommend reaching out to the script or plugin authors for additional assistance.
@media only screen and (max-width: 768px) {
/* Add your Mobile Styles here */
#top #header .av-main-nav>#menu-item-wc-account-icon {
display: block !important;
}
#top #header .av-main-nav>.menu-item.menu-item-search-dropdown {
display: block !important;
}
}
Best regards,
Ismael
Hi,
Thank you for the update.
Try to include this css code inside the css media query above:
#top .av_header_glassy.av_header_transparency #header_main {
background-image: none;
background-color: black;
}
This will disable the gradient background and replace it with a solid black color.

Best regards,
Ismael
This worked great on the logo. The transparent header though is problematic because for some reason the image gets pushed below it. Is there a way to keep it over the top part of the image like the desktop view or remove it altogether for mobile only?

Hello.
We’ve created a portfolio filter on a long content homepage. We’re using the Filter Everything PRO plugin to create the filter.
When selecting a category from the filter, the page reloads to the top of the homepage.
See the homepage at this link: https://limousin.eus/website2025/
How can we make it so that every time we interact with the filter, the page loads in the same place, without returning to the top of the homepage?
The plugin has an Ajax option. I’ve activated it and created an ID (product-results) for the section of the page where the filter appears. It works, but the images don’t load.
I’ve disabled Lazy Load in the preferences, but the images still aren’t displayed.
What can we do?
Thank you.
Hi,

display: block;
}
.responsive #top .av-main-nav .menu-item {
display: none;
}
}
Let us know the result.
