II am a web designer and have already installed many Enfold Themes for my customers. With the latest installation (4.7.3) I can no longer find buttons for animations in the AV-Page Builder. In version (4.5.7) “Edit column” there is a tab with “Animation”. Version 4.7.3 is no longer available or is it hidden so that I cannot find it?

Hi,
Sorry for the late reply, I have checked the column animation tab in v4.7.3 and with a child theme using v4.7.3 and in both cases the animation option shows.

One possibility for your error is if you are using a different language than English there could be an error in the language file, are you using a different language?

Best regards,
Mike

Hi,
no, i don’t use another language than english. My Problem is, that i can install the Enfold Child (V1.0, is there a newer Version aviable and if yes, where i can download?), but if i export my old settings from Enfold 4.7.3 and install the setting file in the child theme settings back (after aktivated the Child), not all settings work correct. Its difficault for me, all settings by hand changing. I give you then name of the websit in the private content.

Hi,
Thank you for the feedback, but it sounds like we are talking about two issues, the first is that in your v4.7.3 you don’t see the column animation tab as pictured above.
and the second issue is that when you install a child theme your imported theme settings don’t seem correct?
Is this correct?

For installing a child theme please try these steps, first in your parent theme disable your Enfold Theme Options > Performance > JS & CSS file merging and compression then export your theme settings file to your desktop.
Then activate your child theme and ensure to disable your Enfold Theme Options > Performance > JS & CSS file merging and compression then import your saved theme settings file. Then go to your Enfold Theme Options > General Styling > Quick CSS field and add a blank space so you can click the big blue button “Save all changes”, click save. Then if you have and caching plugins or minifying or Autoptimize you will need to clear these a few times or disable temporarily while you are clearing the site cache.
Then go to your homepage and clear your browser cache a few times until the site looks right.
If this still doesn’t work for you please include an admin login so we can try.
As for the first issue, please include an admin login so we can investigate.

If you updated this theme lately did you overwrite the theme directory via FTP with the new version?

Best regards,
Mike

Hi Mike
That doesn’t sound so easy. So I would like to know from you, before I start this process, what the ENFOLD CHILD is used for?

Hi,
Typically installing the child theme is easy, I just tried to explain the possible hangups “just in case”
A child theme is used as your theme that you can edit and customize and the customizations will not be lost when you update the parent theme (enfold)
When you don’t use a child theme and you edit the theme files or add functions in the functions.php these changes are lost when the parent theme is updated because the files are replaced with the new theme files.
Child theme files or functions.php are not replaced when the theme is updated.
If you have already edited the parent theme files or added functions in the functions.php, once you have installed your child theme you will need to move these customizations to your child theme.

Best regards,
Mike

Hi,
I see that you are using a masonry element for your post grid on your “our blog” page, I was able to add a “read more” link after your excerpts with the following function in your child theme functions.php, but I see you would like it to be a button, do you have a button example of how you would like the button to look?
```
/* Add a "read more" link" to masonry elements */
function ava_custom_script_mod(){
?>
<script>
(function($){
  $(window).on('av-height-change', function() {
    $('.av-masonry-entry').each(function() {
      var more = $(this).find('.av-masonry-read-more');
      var cont = $(this).find('.av-masonry-entry-content');
  
      if( more.length == 1 ) return;
      cont.append('<div class="av-masonry-read-more">Read more</div>');
    });
  });
})(jQuery);
</script>
<?php
}
add_action('wp_footer', 'ava_custom_script_mod');
```
Best regards,

Hi,
Please try this code in the General Styling > Quick CSS field or in the WordPress > Customize > Additional CSS field:
```
a.av-masonry-entry .av-masonry-read-more {
    display: block;
    text-align: center;
    margin: 0px auto 0px auto;
    clear: both;
    width: 250px;
    border-color: #749944 !important; 
    border-style: solid;
    border-width: 1px;
    padding: 5px 0;
    border-radius: 100px;
    color: #749944;
}
```

Hi Jordan,

i have only one question more:
What is the easiest way to update to an new Version of Enfold?
I fail every time.
I also tried to upload a new Enfold Version in an new directory via FTP, but unfortunately that didn’t work either.
It would be great if you could give me a tip for that.

After this answer, you can close this topic.

Regards,
Frank

Hi,
The easiest and safest way to update, that I find, is to download the newest version from Theme Forest and rename your current theme folder to “enfold-old” via ftp then upload the new “enfold” folder and check that your site is working correctly. This assumes that your theme folder at /wp-content/themes/enfold is named the default “enfold”.
Should for some reason you wish to roll-back to the old version, it’s easy to do, simply rename the new “enfold” folder to “enfold-new” via ftp and then rename “enfold-old” to “enfold” then refresh your page.
Once you are happy you can delete the “enfold-old” folder via ftp, (not the WP theme page)
Please don’t try to overwrite the theme folder, as this will leave old files behind and cause errors.

Best regards,
Mike
