I don’t know what happened to the social media icons I had in my footer can anyone help me, or give me some advice on where to double check. Maybe I unchecked a box by accident or when I put the google adsense code into my footer it changed something…. thanks in advance
Also another question…. For blog posts how do I make my sidebar smaller and the image on the right disappear?
Here is an example of one of my blog posts pages http://www.great-sensei.com/icedog/
Hi!
Can you please try de-activating all active plugins and check if that helps? Currently footer socket is not being output.
Also, please add following code to Quick CSS in Enfold theme options under General Styling tab.single .blog-meta { display: none!important; }You can change the functions.php file of the theme file to define your own grid size to use for the sidebars and main containers. See: https://kriesi.at/support/topic/right-sidebar-width/#post-118282
Regards,
YigitI tried deactivating all active plugins and then reactivating them again but it didn’t help…could it be because I added google adsense code in my footer?
Also after deactivating my plugins… I have an x as a picture for where my stats use to be and when I click to see my site stats I get an error messaging saying “We were unable to get your stats just now. Please reload this page to try again.” then when I click configure I get another error message saying ….. “User Agent: “Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 10.0; Windows NT 6.2; WOW64; Trident/6.0; MALNJS)”

YigitHi!
Just had a look at your files and your site. There doesn’t seem to be any social icons configured or added for the footer.
The following would help us better understand the issue and come up with a solution.
1. Could you please forward us a screenshot pointing where the icons were roughly.
2. Did you use any particular code to add these social buttons? If yes, please point us to them.With respect to the sidebar, could you also provide a mockup screenshot to show the result you wish to achieve to help us better understand the problem.
Regards,
Arvish1. where can I forward the image too? But the social icons were on the bottom right of the socket. The socket was also a lot smaller (about the size of the kriesi site)… I don’t know what happened but some of the code on my site is now gone and the socket is large and my blog posts on my main page that I put code in for to make only the title appear is gone or something because now it shows all the info…
2. Yes I did use code to add the social icons in my quick css but I do not see it there anymore. Someone must have tidied up my quick css (which it looks a lot nicer now thanks). But ya the original code I put in I no longer see
Also jjust for the side bar, its the one on my “news” section which is my blog. All I want is it to be more fit to the side and allow more content to show.
Please help me fix these things. I really need to get this site up and looking good.
Hey!
You can upload the screenshot to a service like http://imgur.com/
The socket is larger because there’s a google ad iframe added to it. As far as I am concerned, I never corrected any code. just made an initial check.
Did the Social buttons disappear after an update to the theme?
I have the impression that you added code to the footer.php file in your theme directory.
Theme Updates will overwrite changes made to the files. You are advised to use a child theme for updates.
Please have a look at the following resources for guidance:
http://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/portfolio-item/create-a-child-theme/
http://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/using-a-child-theme/In my professional opinion, I would add social buttons inside a widget and call that widget in the footer. This would give me more flexibility with the theme and the code.
Cheers!
Arvishhmm actually maybe they did disappear after I updated Enfold. But I think ill take your advice and rather than sticking in new code I will add it into the widgets. However, could you explain to me how to do that?
thanks again,
Joshua
Hey!
You can generate icon shortcodes using the shortcode wand when editing a post or page. Use that icons on a text widget. :)

IsmaelOk, im playing around with that now… Also I checked the video on making a child theme and at the point where the man starts talking about file zilla… which I do not own, I got confused. Can someone explain the child theme a little more easier please?
Hey!
You can also use this plugin to make a child theme:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/one-click-child-theme/FileZilla is a free FTP client:

JosueThanks again everyone for all you help. Sorry to keep the questions coming but now I have created my child theme and updated my main theme and want to work hard to create the image that I desire for my site.
Right now I am trying to make my header like this site http://www.thrillingheroics.com/ (infact im trying to model my site a lot on this site) but I dont understand why my logo will shrink but my header does not and the links do not move up. How can I fix this? Also how do I make the header transparent?I would also like to create an “about me” page in my siderbar for my blogs like he has done here http://www.thrillingheroics.com/category/must-read . I tried researching it but I dont fully understand could you explain how to do it for me? Is it a text widget I need to create?
Lastly, some people that have been going to my site have told me that the front page loads very slow…. Is this due to my main images dimentions being too large?
Thanks again every for all your helpHey!
1. Header doesn’t shrink because of this code you have in Quick CSS:
#header_main .container, .main_menu ul:first-child > li a{ height:90px !important; line-height: 80px !important; }2. You can set a transparent header when editing the Page in question, (Layout options).
3. If you are referring to this, yes that’s a Text Widget (Title + (paragraph + image) + Enfold button shortcode).
Cheers!
Josue
