Hello to our lovely support staff,
As you know, the Layer Slider issue has popped up again after the 4.0.5 Enfold update. Many people hove posted this on the original thread “Please read – Regarding Wordfence LayerSlider warning on Enfold 4.0.3 “, but it has been very noticeable that the support staff has not commented on the re-ocurrence. This is somewhat troublesome, as you are most often very forth coming and willing to explain and share your findings.
Can you comment on what is happening and how long until the next update that will take care of this matter so it does not resurface?
Can you tell us if this issue is a potential security issue? If the Layer Slider is not being used, is this an urgent issue? The Wordfence plugin reports this as a “critical” error; but disabling the Wordfence plugin is not an option as it is one of the best security plugins available.
Any and all information would be appreciated.
Thank your for your tireless dedication to helping Enfold remain as one of the best WP Themes available!
Hey jancecile,
There has been another Layer Slider update, that’s why you are seeing that warning. If you do not use Layer Slider you can deactivate it. Here is how you can do it.
Thank you for using Enfold :)
If you need further assistance please let us know.Best regards,
VictoriaHi Victoria,
Yes, I know there was another LS update. And yes, thank you for the work arounds that “should be able to” fix it.
My question is still — is there an Enfold update in process that will actually address this issue? If so, what is the ETA?
Are there plans to have LS be a separate plugin that is not embedded in the theme? I do use some of the Enfold sliders on my pages, and I do not want to disable LS because I am not certain that doing this may mess further with my sites.
Thank you
Hi jancecile,
Layer Slider can be used as a separate plugin, it costs $20 that way and can be updates any time an update is available, disabling Layer Slider is safe :) It’s just a set of files and functions that will not be called and used.
If you need further assistance please let us know.
Best regards,
VictoriaHi Victoria,
Basically, I would just like to have the Enfold theme updated and the Layer Slider plugin update removed. I’d like to go back to where we all were before this update issue became a problem.
Is this going to happen?
Thanks,
Hi Victoria, Layer-Slider is blocking me from accessing wp-admin. Failure-Alert: <Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION in /kunden/328876_8001/web/1680744/A1680744/umshaus.ch/wp-content/themes/enfold/config-layerslider/LayerSlider/layerslider.php on line 109>
Could you pls gimme some insight on how to fix this using ftp?
Thank you, Christoph.
Hi czum,
You should be able to disable the LayerSlider if you add this your child theme’s functions.php file:
add_theme_support('deactivate_layerslider');You can edit it via FTP, if no child theme – put in Enfold’s functions.php after
if(isset($avia_config['use_child_theme_functions_only'])) return;.
Let us know if this was helpful.
Best regards,
VictoriaHey!
Happy you got it short out.
We will do have an update soon again and we appreaciate all of your patience.Thank you very much
Best regards,
BasilisQuestion re: the Layer Slider issue… does Enfold need Layer Slider to allow Avia media options to work? That’s where my sliders are developed.
Thanks
Hi,
If you are using Layer Slider that came bundled with enfold, yes you need the Layer Slider to show the slides that were created using the built-in plugin.
if you deactivated the built-in plugin and use the Layer Slider as a separate plugin then you need to recreate the slides.
Best regards,
VinayThanks Vinay — so, the Layer Slider is the basis for any sliders that I use within the Enfold theme “media options”?
When is the next Enfold update coming?
Thank you!Hi!
Sorry for the confusion,1. If you create a slider from Dashboard > Layer Slider you can insert that slider from advanced layout builder > media element.
2. Any other slider like Full-width slider or Easy Slider is not related to layer slider.We do not have an ETA for the next update but we release updates quite often.
Regards,
VinayI am very tired seeing these warnings. Of course, applied your fix @Victoria_d but doesn’t seem to fix. Using the line of code in my child theme functions file:
add_theme_support('deactivate_layerslider');Here’s my various issues:
2017-05-12 10:53:52.135 [NOTICE] [##.##.##.###:HTTP2-15] [STDERR] PHP Warning: fclose() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in /wp-includes/functions.php on line 4790

It’s like chasing a rabit’s tail with support this year for this one application. Highly considering another theme altogether. It’s like Enfold has run it’s course. Perhaps time to produce Enfold LIGHT or FULL. I don’t want layerslider for example… And the new v4 seems like a naming convention only. Was hoping for more effort.

Hi Dave,
Sorry to hear about that. Having two versions of Enfold might be a good idea. If Layer Slider is not used it does not get called and the notices are not supposed to be there. Do you mind if we take a closer look? If yes, can you give us temporary admin access to your website in the private content box below, so that we can have a closer look.
I think it’s a very harsh speculation, to say that “Enfold has run it’s course” just because you have a few notices in your logs, and not major errors or performance issues. At the end of the day, your website is working and serving your business.
If you need further assistance please let us know.
Best regards,
VictoriaDear all,
with the latest update of Enfold, I have again an issue with Layerslider. umshaus.ch is showing the following failure-alert: Fatal error: Declaration of avia_sc_comments_list::shortcode_handler() must be compatible with that of aviaShortcodeTemplate::shortcode_handler() in /kunden/328876_8001/web/1680744/A1680744/umshaus.ch/wp-content/themes/enfold/config-templatebuilder/avia-shortcodes/comments.php on line 14
I have checked your mentioned recommendation and uploaded functions.php as proposed above. Did not help. Can you pls get back to me with a proper solution? Thank you, Christoph.
Hi czum,
Could you please try to reinstall the theme via FTP? Are you able to access dashboard?
Best regards,

Hi elzevir,
Same questions: Could you please try to reinstall the theme via FTP? Are you able to access dashboard?
Which version of php are you running?Best regards,
VictoriaHi Victoria, I reinstalled enfold using FTP. installation worked fine but my page is still blocked: http://www.umshaus.ch – Can you pls help me out here? Thanks, Christoph.
Hi czum,
You need to ask your provider to update to minimum php 7
Best regards,
VictoriaHi Victoria, I checked with the provider. Hosting is at PHP 7.1.6 and APACHE at 2.4.25 – so technically all set. Do you have some hack to disable Layerslider via FTP in order to reach my Dashboard again? Thanks, Christoph.
Hi czum,
Please try adding this to the bottom of your functions.php file:
add_theme_support('deactivate_layerslider');Best regards,
RikardHi Rikard, thanks for your comment. I did as mentioned. Cannot get thru to my page. Keep getting the following error:
Fatal error: Declaration of avia_sc_comments_list::shortcode_handler() must be compatible with that of aviaShortcodeTemplate::shortcode_handler() in /kunden/328876_8001/web/1680744/A1680744/umshaus.ch/wp-content/themes/enfold/config-templatebuilder/avia-shortcodes/comments.php on line 14
Can you please assist? Thanks a lot, Christoph.
Hi Christoph,
Ok, thanks for the feedback. Did you add the code I posted to your functions.php file via FTP and did that not work? If not then could you please open a new thread and include FTP and WordPress login details in private please?
Best regards,
RikardHi,
If you turn WP_DEBUG off, does it hide the issue and the site is working properly, or you still have problems?
Best regards,
BasilisHi,
I reinstalled enfold via ftp, I disabled Layerslider as mentioned here: http://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/deactivate-the-layerslider-plugin/ – and then I turned WP_DEBUG off.Result: Not working.
