Hi Guys
http://www.globalliteracynetworks.co.uk/
I have 2 major problems with Enfold the first is Quick css works and custom doesn’t – I can cut and paste code from custom css to quick css and it works, the other way round it doesn’t. I had this problem last week with Choices whereby quick css was overriding custom css – then it was down to one small syntax error (by myself). But this time I hardly have any lines and it still happening?
My custom.css consists of this:-
#colorblocko {
display:block;
background-color:#F48C37;
width:249px;
height:249px;
margin:-20px;
color:#ffffff!important;
text-align:left !important;
}
#colorblockb {
display:block;
background-color:#00baf2;
width:249px;
height:249px;
margin:-20px;
color:#ffffff!important;
text-align:left !important;}
#colorblockg {
display:block;
background-color:#d4e15a;
width:249px;
height:249px;
margin:-20px;
color:#ffffff!important;
text-align:left !important;
}
#colorblockm {
display:block;
background-color:#E885B6;
width:249px;
height:249px;
margin:-20px;
color:#ffffff!important;
text-align:left !important;
}
It works for creating the color blocks but if I add for example (just as a test):-#header_main .container{
display:none;
}It works in Quick css but not in custom.css??
Can you help – I’ve just started this one and can’t foresee typing all my css in the little text box
My other major problem is the advanced layerslider
I have a problem with layer slider not showing text
it first gave the message :-
phpQuery, an external library in LayerSlider, have unmet dependencies. It requires PHP5 with the following extensions installed: PHP DOM extension, PHP Multibyte String extension. Please contact with your hosting provider to resolve these dependencies, as it will likely break LayerSlider to function properly. This issue could result a blank page in slider builder.
I contacted the ISP and they assured me this had been done – still no text showing. I tried exporting the slides to see if they would work on re-import but got this message (see screenshot) http://www.aclgroup.co.uk/layerslider2.jpg so it won’t let me export.
I have contacted the isp again as it looks like a permissions issue which they are looking into. Is there anything you can suggest other than what I’ve done?.
Best regards

Hi Steven!
Thank you for the info.
We would like to see the actual website but it’s under maintenance mode. Do you have a minify plugin? The custom.css won’t work if you add the transfer the css codes while the plugin is running. Regarding the slider, are you running the layer slider as a stand alone plugin?
Best regards,
IsmaelHi Ismael
Thanks for getting back!
I’m not using the minify plugin but I am temporarily using “Ultimate coming soon page” plugin whilst it’s being built, but no other plugins are installed (apart from WordPress Importer).
I have deactivated the plugin so you should be able to see it now.
I’m not running the layerslider as a standalone plugin but will do if that’s what it takes to fix. I believe the text missing text problem (in layerslider) happened with a previous version of enfold (last year) so I ended up using graphic based text, but this time the Client will be wanting to change the text so I have to find a solution.
Best regards

Hi Ismael
Whats really weird here is if I delete all my custom css code above and just use (as a test):-
#header_main .container{
display:none;
}
It doesn’t work in custom.css and works in quick css but the colorblocks (controlled by the deleted css) are all still there?? and checking them in web developer still shows their styles intact (despite deleting them re-saving custom. css and clearing the cache and refreshing Firefox. I’ve just looked at it in safari – the same is happening it’s hanging on to my deleted styles and not recognising the test.It’s almost like its reading the css from somewhere else???
I just don’t know what to try next Please help!
Hi Guys
This is my revised custom.css http://www.aclgroup.co.uk/custom_css.jpg
This is the site (I’ve cleared the cache and relaunched Firefox and safari several times Its still reading my previous css???)

Something is inherently wrong here and I’m concerned nobody has a solution Please Help!

Hi Guys
I’ve managed to resolve The custom css problem but not the layerslider.
The custom css was somehow reading from a a previous installation of enfold (which I had on the same server and named “enfold2”) and the site seemed to be sucking the css from both of the custom css files – one with my css in and one with the test css in. I deleted the enfold 2 folder and everything is back to normal!!!Its odd though cos I have at times had 3 copies of Choices running on the same server (calling the folders Choices 1, choices 2 etc ) and this has never happened but I was on multi site rather than a single site .
Anyway it’s fixed
Now on to the Layerslider problem……
Best regards
Steve
Hi!
What is the actual issue you are having now with LayerSlider? Are you getting it with only the theme installed (no plugins active) and is the php error still happening you mentioned initially?
Regards,
DevinHi Devin
I think that the php error was corrected by the isp – he had to install some php extensions which the layerslider needed.
I was not seeing the text in the h1 field even though it appeared in the preview. I went on to the layerslider forums and discovered that a lot of people are having the same issue.However I managed to resolve it myself – This may be useful to someone.
I was wrapping the h1 text in a style tag and styling it within that h1 text box.
The h1 text box doesn’t seem to like inline styles and once I removed them and placed my styles in the styles menu – all worked as it should.
It was an error by myself but to compound matters the inline styles (in the h1 text box) all work in the preview.
This allows one to think it’s okay – perhaps this should be noted in a layerslider update as I can see by the layerslider forums, that there are a lot of people pulling their hair out with the same problem. (I typed in “no text on slide” and 84 pages came up with several different comments per page).Thanks and
Best wishesSteve
Hey!
Thank you for the update and thanks for sharing the fix.
What do you mean by “styles” menu? You don’t have to wrap the h1 tag on any style div as you put it because on the layer’s Styles panel, a Custom style settings field is already available for inline styling.
Best regards,
IsmaelHi Ismael
I noticed that H1 text box accepted and reproduced the html and inline css in the preview window firstly with a <br /> here and there and then with any inline css.
It will show all that one puts in the H1 text box to be working in preview which leads one to think its going to work. Only when it goes live, the text vanishes.I’m now aware of this and use the custom style settings panel – I haven’t tried it, but I imagine all of the text panels will probably do the same ie. look good in preview but no text when published.
It’s a user error on my part but an easy one to make. Maybe the guys at layerslider should lock this down and make the preview not show the text to work when a user inputs html or inline css in the text panels.
Cheers
Steve
Hi Ismael
Sorry, when I mentioned “styles menu” I meant the “custom styles settings panel”
