Latest Enfold breaks Beaver Builder.

Hey Simon,

The media script is deactivated by default since Enfold 4.4.x (to increase the loading performance). The user can add this code to the child theme functions.php:

add_filter( 'avf_enqueue_wp_mediaelement', 'avia_always_load_mediaelement', 10, 2);
function avia_always_load_mediaelement($condition, $options)
{
	$condition = true;
	return $condition;
}

to load the media script by default (also see: https://kriesi.at/support/topic/enfold-deregistering-wordpress-core-script-style-wp-mediaelement/ ).

At the moment the user also needs to modify the functions.php of the parent theme – the customization won’t be necessary with the next theme update (will be released next week; also see: https://kriesi.at/support/topic/wp_enqueue_media-not-working-on-frontend-after-latest-update/#post-993991 ). The user needs to replace this code in enfold/functions.php

$condition  = !( isset($options['disable_mediaelement']) && $options['disable_mediaelement'] == "disable_mediaelement" ) && av_video_assets_required();

with

$condition  = !( isset($options['disable_mediaelement']) && $options['disable_mediaelement'] == "disable_mediaelement" ) && av_video_assets_required();
$condition = apply_filters( 'avf_enqueue_wp_mediaelement', $condition, $options );

Best regards,
Peter

Hey!

Having the filter means we can set it false when the Beaver Builder is open, when will a new version of that filter be released?

Yes! The next theme update will introduce the avf_enqueue_wp_mediaelement filter and you can use it to enqueue (or deactivate) the script manually. I’ll also ask the framework developer to add an option to the admin panel.

Further testing revealed that the condition was always TRUE for the following code, does not matter what is enabled in the admin area, thats why I had to overide the enqueue function.

Normally the condition should only return true if the “Disable self hosted video and audio features” theme setting is not activated/checked (Enfold > Theme Options > Performance) or the av_video_assets_required function (defined in enfold\includes\helper-assets.php) doesn’t find a media shortcode in the post/page content. I’ll debug the code and check all possible cases.

Regards,
Peter
