It depends on how you update the theme. If you just overwrite the old files with the new, update files (eg by using ftp) the custom elements won’t be affected (or only if we add a file with the same file name – however the risk is not very high :) ). However if you delete the entire theme folder first you need to make a backup of the elements.

You can also try to place the element code/class into a child theme but I’m not sure if this works out because all elements extend the “aviaShortcodeTemplate” class and if the template builder plugin is not loaded (which can happen because the child theme functions.php will load first) then you’ll probably get an error. In this case I’d recommend to copy the content of functions.php to your child theme and to set the “use_child_theme_functions_only” to “true” (see comment at the top of functions.php).

$avia_config['use_child_theme_functions_only'] = true;

If you want to view your shortcodes you can also activate the debug mode: https://kriesi.at/support/topic/export-theme-settings-and-templates

You can i.e. copy/paste the output of the debug field into the standard editor and modify it there.

On the topic of breadcrumbs and not trying to hijack your thread Daniel. Is there a way to shorten the breadcrumbs? As you can see here it gets very long (this is a shorter one):

http://staging.avenirtechnologies.co/product/352a60/

When you start to resize the browser the breadcrumbs overlap the title of the page until you get to a width where the breadcrumbs fall under the title.

Maybe a way to have it go like this:

Home / … / … / General Purpose / Single Axis / Model: 352A60 – ….

Instead of:

Home / Products / Accelerometers / General Purpose / Single Axis / Model: 352A60 – High frequency, ceramic sheer ICP accelerometer

Hi!

Use following code instead

.fixed_header #header {

margin-top: 0 !important;

top: 0px !important;

}

Best regards,

This is not possible at the moment and I’ll mark this for Kriesi (feature request). You can only remove the link from “Meqa Menu” columns which are not main menu items but menu items on the second level (you just need to insert a dash ( – ) into the “Mega Menu Column Title” field).

Thanks Devin. I too need to have a top level navigation be an inactive link. In other words, cannot be clicked.

Using your recommendation from above I load a blank page in a new tab ( in chrome). Any other ideas anyone?
