    Hey koomo,

    Thank you for the inquiry.

    Try to add this css code to adjust the width of the mega menu container under the Destinations menu item:

    @media only screen and (min-width: 768px) {
      /* Add your Desktop Styles here */
      #top #wrap_all #menu-item-35451 .avia_mega_div > .sub-menu {
          width: 750px !important;

    Hi,

    Thank you for the update.

    You can try setting the png image as the background of the scroll-down link:

    #top .scroll-down-link.avia-svg-icon {
        background-image: url('image.png');
    }
    
    #top .scroll-down-link.avia-svg-icon svg {
        display: none;
    }

    Let us know if you need more info.

    In reply to: .scroll-down-link

    this burger menu is not a font icon or a svg icon. These are simple containers with a given width and height.
    The top and the bottom lines are pseudo-containers (before and after).

    try in quick css: see next post for better solution ;)

    Dear support,
    i tried this solution to avoid the scroll to top, when clicking the next page button. But it does not work. Is there any other solution which works?
    Thanks and Regards

    on my installation it works without any problem – if you use the webp images from media-library!
    https://webers-testseite.de/webp-lightbox/

    or: next suggestion – you are using a plugin that replaces jpgs by webp images ( f.e. from shortpixel – automatic calculation of jpgs to webp- and replacement in DOM )

    As mentioned above

    var defaults = {
    	groups :	['.avia-slideshow', '.avia-gallery', '.av-horizontal-gallery', '.av-instagram-pics', '.portfolio-preview-image', '.portfolio-preview-content', '.isotope', '.post-entry', '.sidebar', '#main', '.main_menu', '.woocommerce-product-gallery'],
    	autolinkElements : 'a.lightbox, a[rel^="prettyPhoto"], a[rel^="lightbox"], a[href$=jpg], a[href$=webp], a[href$=png], a[href$=gif], a[href$=jpeg], a[href*=".jpg?"], a[href*=".png?"], a[href*=".gif?"], a[href*=".jpeg?"], a[href$=".mov"] , a[href$=".swf"] , a:regex(href, .vimeo\.com/[0-9]) , a[href*="youtube.com/watch"] , a[href*="youtube.com/shorts"] , a[href*="screenr.com"], a[href*="iframe=true"]',
    	videoElements  : 'a[href$=".mov"] , a[href$=".swf"] , a:regex(href, .vimeo\.com/[0-9]) , a[href*="youtube.com/watch"] , a[href*="youtube.com/shorts"] , a[href*="screenr.com"], a[href*="iframe=true"]',
    	exclude  :	'.noLightbox, .noLightbox a, .fakeLightbox, .lightbox-added, a[href*="dropbox.com"], .pagination a'
    },

    a[href$=webp] is an autolinkElement – so there must be something that hampers this on your installation.

    Hi!

    Thanks for following up.

    We have moved the screenshot to the private field. To adjust the display of the navigation arrows and move them to the top of the testimonials, try to include this css code:

    #top .avia-slider-testimonials.avia-testimonial-wrapper {
        overflow: visible;
    }
    
    #top .avia-slider-testimonials.av-slideshow-ui.av-nav-arrows-visible .avia-slideshow-arrows a {
        margin: -64px 15px 0;
    }

    Hi,

    Are you trying to change the color of the menu items on hover? Try to add this css code:

    Thank you for the update.

    It seems to be working correctly on our end. Please try purging the cache or temporarily disable the Autoptimize plugin before checking the page again.

    That’s great thanks Ismael. I tried adding css under /* Add your Desktop Styles here */ but I cant get it to work. Please can you give me a quick example changing the hover colour and I can work it out from there.
    Thanks again

    #1489483

    Hi Ismael,
    The Dev is not really responding.

    I found this https://kriesi.at/support/topic/nextgen-wordpress-issue/ and did
    add_filter( ‘body_class’, function( $classes ) {
    if(is_page(26302, 24957)) {
    $classes = array_merge( $classes, array( ‘noLightbox’ ) );
    }
    return $classes;
    });

    It works on 26302 page, but I can’t find how to make it work on 24957 or multiple pages.

    Thank you for your support.

    regards,

    In reply to: .scroll-down-link

    Would you like to have an upward arrow to indicate a downward movement? … ( on top you are talking about scroll-top-link )
    Does that really make sense?

    if you only want to turn arround :

    
    #top .scroll-down-link.avia-svg-icon svg:first-child {
      transform: scaleY(-1)
    }
    

    but now you are talking about down-open arrow – but isnt it the down-open arrow on default?

    #1489475

    Hi,

    You can add this css code to make the background transparent and have the menu float above the slider.

    @media only screen and (min-width: 768px) {
      /* Add your Desktop Styles here */
    
      #top .av-submenu-container.av-mfuwd2dc-fbfd62110b190173ec9e1a9c9af59e82 {
        position: absolute;
        background-color: #4f5b33a3;
      }
    
      #top .av-submenu-container.av-mfuwd2dc-fbfd62110b190173ec9e1a9c9af59e82 .av-subnav-menu li a {

    Hi,

    Thank you for the update.

    Try to add the following css code below the first one to adjust the padding around the testimonial container and decrease the font size on smaller screens.

    @media only screen and (max-width: 767px) {
    
      /* Add your Mobile Styles here */
      .responsive #top .av-large-testimonial-slider.avia-testimonial-wrapper .avia-testimonial {

    Thank you, @Ismael! That worked perfect on desktop view. However, on mobile, the Testimonials white box is squished so only 1 or 2 words fit on each line, and there’s lots of black space to the left and right. Is there CSS to increase the width of the Testimonials box so more words fit on one line? URL to my staging website is in the private section. Please view it on a mobile device. Thank you!

    The pages on the Child Theme of my staging site (please see Private Content) are not responsive.
    When viewed on smaller screens and tablets, the Special Headings, Text Blocks and Buttons do not align with one another on the top Columns of the Home page.
    When viewed on smaller screens and tablets, the text in the Widgets on the Right Sidebar is cutoff on the Blog page.
    Can you please check all screen sizes and please help me fix this?
    Thank you.

    Hi Ismael,

    Thanks for checking. I got in touch with the plugin developers the events manager workaround to my problem is posted in another thread.

    https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wpml-issue-with-eventsmanager/

    Since I have the problem without using wpml it seems more of a eventsmanager issue to me.

    Hey santanin,

    Thank you for the inquiry.

    There’s no built-in option for this, but you can use the following css code to apply a white background to the testimonial container and set a border radius of 30px. To adjust the content color of the testimonial item, go to the Styling > Colors section.

    #top .avia-slider-testimonials.avia-testimonial-wrapper .avia-testimonial .avia-testimonial_inner {
        background: #ffffff;
        border-radius: 30px;
        padding: 20px;
    }

    Best regards,

    Hey BlewWeb,
    You could download the icon here and upload it to your Enfold Theme Options ▸ Import/Export ▸ SVG Iconset and Iconfont Manager
    Then add this snippet to your child theme function.php file or if you are not using a child theme you could use the WP Code plugin then add a new snippet, in the top right corner use the PHP snippet as the code type:
    Enfold_Support_2680
    then add this code and save.

    function avia_add_custom_icon($icons) {
    $icons['bluesky'] = array( 'font' =>'fontello', 'icon' => 'ue800');
    return $icons;
    }
    add_filter('avf_default_icons','avia_add_custom_icon', 10, 1);
    
    function avia_add_custom_social_icon($icons) {
    $icons['BlueSky'] = 'bluesky';
    return $icons;
    }
    add_filter('avf_social_icons_options','avia_add_custom_social_icon', 10, 1);
    add_filter('avia_social_share_link_arguments', 'avia_add_social_share_link_arguments', 10, 1);
    function avia_add_social_share_link_arguments($args){
        $bluesky = array('bluesky' => array("encode"=>true, "encode_urls"=>false, "pattern" => "https://bluesky.com/", 'label' => __("Share on BlueSky",'avia_framework')));
        $args = array_merge($bluesky, $args);
        return $args;
    }

    Then add this css to your Enfold Theme Options ▸ Quick CSS

    #top #wrap_all .av-social-link-bluesky:hover a {
    	  color: #fff;
        background-color: #1185FE;
    }

    Then choose the icon in your Enfold Theme Options ▸ Your Social Profiles
    You can also vote for this feature here.

    Thanks Ismail,
    “Delete Old CSS And JS Files” was and still is activated. I’ also played with deactivating the compression in Enfold, but it doesn’t do the trick.
    I changed my caching plugin to autoptimize. Still the same: https://postimg.cc/8s3DQg5F

    I dared to just delete the folder ingredients of wp-content/uploads/dynamic_avia after backing it up.

    It doesn’t seem to have an effect on the page. I will now check if the masses of files reappear.
    For now the problem seems to be solved,

    Thanks!

    In reply to: 2 menu’s, 2 tokens?

    Okay, I’m slowly starting to understand how the ‘Parent Theme’ and the ‘Child Theme’ work. By adjusting the PHP, I can now edit products again.

    Why is this text still at the top of the products page?

    “Your theme (Enfold Child) contains outdated copies of several WooCommerce template files. These files may need to be updated to ensure compatibility with the current version of WooCommerce.”

    That was actually the reason I purchased a new license, but apparently that doesn’t help solve the problem.

    I just received this and the only API I use is for my Enfold sites. I assume you guys are on top of this:

    Hello Google Maps Customer,

    We are changing the Google Maps JavaScript API controls to reduce the space they occupy by default and to improve the accessibility of panning the map.

    We’re reaching out to you because we have observed one or more of the following criteria:

    Your end-users use the Zoom buttons significantly more than the average.
    One or more of your maps explicitly disables the Zoom control.
    One or more of your maps have customized controls.
    We have provided additional information below to guide you through this change.

    What you need to know
    Map controls are visual elements that allow user interaction with the map, including zooming the map, enabling Street View, and changing the Map Type.

    Version 3.58 of the Google Maps JavaScript API added a new Camera control to make panning the map accessible with a single gesture. This new Camera control features buttons for panning the map and for zooming the map in and out, effectively being a single control to guide the map’s viewport.

    The changes are listed in the table below:

    Date Available in Channel Changes Implemented
    In September 2024 In the weekly channel Version 3.58 and version 3.59 offer the Camera control, without changing the default map controls.
    In November 2024 In the quarterly channel
    In February 2025 In the weekly channel Version 3.60 and newer contain the updated changes to the default map controls.
    In May 2025 In the quarterly channel
    November 2025 Version 3.58 is no longer available.
    February 2026 Version 3.59 is no longer available.
    What you need to do
    Before the default controls are updated

    Test the new Camera control on your maps in version 3.60 or newer.

    If you use default controls in your map options, specify version 3.60 or newer to see how the default controls change.
    If you do not use the default controls, or prefer not to test a newer version for now, enable the Camera control, and optionally disable the Zoom control, in google.maps.MapOptions.
    After the default controls are updated
    Consider taking one of the following actions when using version 3.60 or newer:

    If your code explicitly enables the Zoom control (zoomControl: true), both the Zoom control and the Camera control will be displayed. Consider choosing one to save on map space.
    If your code explicitly disables the Zoom control (zoomControl: false), you may also want to disable the Camera control.
    If your code explicitly enables the Zoom control (zoomControl: true) while keeping the default controls disabled (disableDefaultUI: true), only the Zoom control will be displayed. For better accessibility, consider enabling the Camera control instead.
    You can specify version 3.59 which will be available until February 2026.

    Impacted customers/accounts:

    Your affected projects, client ids and most affected websites are listed below:

    400662023768
    http://www.thomashenthorne.com
    We’re here to help
    Refer to our Maps Javascript API documentation for information about how to edit google.maps.MapOptions to enable cameraControl.

    If you have any other questions or need additional support, please contact us at Google Maps Platform Support.

    Thanks for choosing Google Maps Platform.

    We are displaying weekly Youtube sermons in our website as videos.
    We would like to also insert “cleaned up” transcripts, using the magic of ChatGPT.
    We get a lovely html with print buttons, pdf buttons, style sheet — but cannot figure out how to insert this html document on our Enfold page.

    I have tried to use content in Accordion. Have learned that won’t work.

    (Obviously, each week transcript will be different, so hoped I could use Advanced Custom Fields to store document info and then display via my custom post template.)

    Right now, I am trying Textblock — in Code, not Visual.

    I see the document nicely displayed on BACKEND, but on FRONTEND, I do NOT see the document displayed.

    Since STYLE was included in the HTML — I moved style out to a Codeblock.

    SCRIPT is also in there and I can move it out to another Codeblock.

    What is your suggestion to “see” the document on the FRONTEND?

    Thanks in Advance…

    Below is the attempted code…

    <h1>Sermon: “You Are the Light of the World”</h1>
    <div class=”meta”>Text: Matthew 5:14–16</div>
    </header>
    <p class=”lead”>So, you might have noticed the theme. Send the Light. Thy Word is a lamp. There’s definitely a theme going here.</p>
    We are continuing through the best sermon ever preached by the greatest preacher ever. We have seen Jesus giving assurances to His followers in the Beatitudes—letting them know that His followers are blessed.

    Last week, we began looking at the section where Jesus tells His followers that they are salt and light.
    <h2>Salt</h2>
    We learned a few things about salt in Jesus’ day. Salt was precious. When Jesus said, “Ye are the salt of the earth,” His disciples understood the value. Salt was so valuable it was sometimes used as payment for soldiers.

    Its value came from its purpose:

    • Preservative – As salt, we preserve the holiness of God and His Word in the world.
    • Purifier – Salt was used as a cleansing agent; so are we in the world.
    • Penetrating – Salt works its way in. We are called to go into all the world with the gospel.
    • Creates thirst – Salt makes people thirsty. Do we, by our lives, make people thirst for the living water that is Christ?

    Jesus also warned of useless salt: “If the salt has lost its savour… it is good for nothing, but to be cast out and trodden under foot of men.” Notice, Jesus never challenged us to be salt or light. He simply said, you are.

    <h2>Light</h2>

    Matthew 5:14–16 — “Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick, and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”

    What a title. What a privilege—that Jesus would say we are the light of the world. But what does He mean?
    <h3>Jesus, the True Light</h3>
    John wrote of the Light in John 1:4–9: “In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness, and the darkness comprehended it not… That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.” Of course, John was speaking of Jesus.

    Jesus confirmed it Himself in John 8:12—“I am the light of the world.” Again, in John 9:5—“As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” But then Jesus turned to His disciples and said, “Ye are the light of the world.”
    <h3>The Nature of Our Light</h3>

    • It is personal – Jesus has given every believer this light. He didn’t say we might be light someday; He said we are light.
    • It is His light in us – We are not the source. Jesus is. We are the lamp, the candle, the bulb through which His light shines.
    • It is powerful – Even the smallest light conquers darkness. A single match in a dark cave changes everything.

    Paul reminds us in 2 Corinthians 4:6 that God “commanded the light to shine out of darkness” into our hearts. Philippians 2:15 calls us to shine as lights “in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation.”

    The tragedy is that much of the darkness in our world exists because Christians have hidden their light.
    <h3>The Purpose of Our Light</h3>

    • To shine – Light is not made to be hidden under a bushel but set on a candlestick.
    • To expose – Light reveals what is hidden in darkness, including sin.
    • To reflect – Like the moon reflects the sun, we reflect the Son.
    • To guide – Like runway lights, a lighthouse, or a warning sign, our light points others to safety and to the Father through Christ.

    <h3>The Result of Our Light</h3>
    Jesus says, “Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” Our light draws others to God. Our good works should point people to Him, not to ourselves. Salvation is mankind’s greatest need—and our shining light directs people to Christ.
    <h2>Closing Challenge</h2>
    Light always overcomes darkness, but it must shine to make a difference. Is your light shining for Jesus? Can you truly sing, “This little light of mine, I’m going to let it shine”? Or are you hiding your light under a bushel?

    If you are trusting in Christ, you have His light. Let it shine.

    Prayer — “Lord, we thank You for Your Word this morning and the encouragement that we are the light of the world. Help us not to cover or hide the light, but to let it shine, that others may see our good works and glorify our Father in heaven. Amen.”

    Thanks Ismael
    If I try and change the size the top line does it’s own thing. Snapping back to vertical and horizontal didn’t change it. See screenshot.
    Thanks
