Hi Enfold team,
After updating Enfold to the latest version, I noticed two issues on my website.
First, the Fullwidth Easy Slider is no longer visible on my homepage. When I switch back to the parent theme, everything works correctly. However, when activating the child theme, the slider disappears. The child theme only contains a basic functions.php and style.css, without any custom modifications.
Second, the PRODUCTS menu in the header is not displaying correctly. The dropdown layout appears broken and does not look as expected (please refer to the previous screenshot). It seems the menu styling or structure may have been affected after the update.
Also, I could not find an official Enfold child theme package in the latest download. Has it been removed, or is there a recommended way to create and use a child theme now?
Could you please advise what might be causing these issues and how to fix them?
Thanks a lot.
Jack SongHey famerise,
Your siteground-optimizer plugin is giving this error: Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier ‘Array’ try disabling the plugin.
If you have a header.php or footer.php file in your child theme, please remove these.
You can download a Child Theme here.Best regards,
MikeHey Mike,
Thanks for your help. But it didn’t work. I tried to disable the plugin. It is still the same problem. When I use the parent theme, the fullwidth easy slider works. But when I click my website/products, it shows a different post listed. I like the color of the child theme and the style of the listed methods. I don’t want to be changed when I update the version. But the previous version is too old. When I try to add a new post or new page, the product menu will be out of order too. Please check and give me a solution.
Best regards,
Jack SongHey famerise,
Thank you for the update.
To help us narrow down the issue, could you let us know if you have added any custom css or php modifications to your child theme’s style.css or functions.php, or override any template files? Even small additions can sometimes interfere with how the theme renders certain elements like the full width slider. If you have any custom code in the child theme, please try to temporarily remove or disable it and check if the slider display correctly again.
Make sure to purge the cache before testing. If the issue persists, please post the login credentials in the private field so we can take a closer look.

IsmaelHi Mike,
Thanks a lot for your help.
I tested the issue several times, and after clearing the cache, it confirmed that you were right — the SiteGround Optimizer plugin is indeed the key factor.
Overall, I think SiteGround Optimizer is a very good performance plugin. However, I’m a bit confused about why it seems not fully compatible with the Enfold theme. Could it be that Enfold’s built-in performance features are already sufficient, and enabling too many optimization options in SiteGround Optimizer results in over-optimization?
Alternatively, could you please advise which specific options in SiteGround Optimizer are recommended to be enabled when using Enfold, so that I can achieve better performance without causing conflicts?
I would really appreciate your suggestions on the best configuration for this plugin.
Thanks again for your support.
Best regards,
Jack SongHey famerise,
Glad to know the issue has been resolved.
To avoid conflicts, make sure the same optimization tasks are not being handled by both plugins at the same time. We recommend disabling file compression in Enfold > Performance > File Compression and let SiteGround Optimizer handle that instead. If you notice any issues, try to disable the “Combine CSS” and “Combine JS” options in SiteGround Optimizer first.
For more details, please refer to the SiteGround Optimizer documentation.
Please feel free to open a new thread if you have more questions.
Have a nice day.
Best regards,
Ismael
