Performance is slow when editing content elements with icon features. - Support

Hi,

Thank you for the info.

Do you have a staging or development site where we can test it with version 6.8.0? The notices above should not affect loading speed, and wp.editPost is not directly included in the theme, so this is likely related to a plugin or a custom script.

Regarding the unclosed select tag, please edit the enfold/config-templatebuilder/avia-template-builder/php/base-classes/class-modal-elements.php file, look for this code around line 901:

			$filter .=		'</select>';

Replace it with:

			$filter .=		'</select>';

Best regards,
Ismael

Good morning, Ismael,

Thank you for the solution to the select warning; it seems to have resolved the issue. We do have an online test environment, but it is not a clone of the live version—only a local site that is a copy.

What do you suggest I should test?

Thank you!

Update regarding the deprecation warnings: When I deactivate Yoast, they are gone. I’ll pass that problem to the plugin author.

That sadly leaves us with the core problem, which still persists: the slow editing for content elements with icon features.

some more digging on the local test environment i found this:

Deprecated: Function avia_font_manager::frontend_icon is deprecated since version 7.0! Use Use avia_font_manager::get_frontend_icon instead instead. in C:\**local-path**\wp-includes\functions.php on line 6121

Hi,

Deprecated: Function avia_font_manager::frontend_icon is deprecated since version 7.0! Use Use

Did you modify any shortcodes in the child theme? It’s possible they are still using a deprecated function. You should also check the child theme’s functions.php file. We can’t access the file anymore because the Appearance > Theme File Editor is no longer available.

We also recommend testing this on a different host, as it’s possible the issue is server-related. Try cloning the site to a server hosted by another company or platform.

Best regards,

Hi!

Thank you for helping me solve the deprecation warnings. Now, the last thing I want to work on is the loading time of the entypo-fontello icons.

What is happening?

When opening content elements with entypo-fontello icons, it is still slow.
SVG icon sets can’t be loaded.
When I choose icon fonts, it somewhat works (slow)

I attached another console output:

icon loading time

Maybe important for others to know regarding Yoast plugins (not only SEO):
This is not Enfold related; I also tested Twenty Twenty-Five.
If I use any Yoast plugin (SEO, Duplicate Post, etc.), even on a fresh install with no modifications, I get deprecation warnings. See console output below:

Hi,

What happens when you add this code in the functions.php file?

add_filter('avf_font_manager_load_font', function($icon_font) {
    return '';
}, 10, 1);

Please note that this will completely disable the default fontello icons.

Thank you for your patience.

Best regards,
Ismael

Hi Ismael,

The outcome is as expected. I can’t choose the default icon set, and the icons on the site disappear. Sadly, this does not affect the loading times.

Another question: Is it intended behavior that in the dropdown for the icon fields under “WordPress Media Library,” all my SVG data is available, even though most of them are not icons?

Hi,

Which dropdown? Looks like you’re using a third-party plugin Media Library Folders. Please contact the plugin authors for additional info about this.

Since we can’t reproduce the issue on our installations, we recommend reaching out to your hosting provider to inform them about the problem. It’s possible that the issue is related to server configurations.

Have you tried creating a clone of the site on a different host or platform?

Best regards,
Ismael

Hi,

Which dropdown?

I’m talking about the Icon dropdown in, for example, button configuration. As soon as you have .svg files in the Media Library, regardless of using an ML-plugin or not, they will be loaded. I tested it on Xampp, a fresh install – only WP & Enfold, no plugins at all. I tried erasing it in Enfold settings, but it keeps reappearing. See the screenshot below.

icon_dropdown

I will go on from this fresh install and implement step by step to check when it breaks & let you know.

Have you tried creating a clone of the site on a different host or platform?

I could test on 2 environments: local & our hosting provider. Is it really necessary to rent a second environment to test this?

I think I got it!

We changed our “/content/uploads” to “media” with the following code:

define( ‘UPLOADS’, ‘media’ );

I did a local copy again, and when I remove the custom path in my wp-config.php, it seems to be back to normal.

What needs to be done to ensure that Entypo-fontello works with a custom Media Library path?

Hi,

Great! Glad to know that you figured out the issue. Unfortunately, changing the path will require modifications to the theme that is outside the scope of support. You can check the themes/enfold/config-templatebuilder/avia-template-builder/php/class-template-builder.php or the enfold/config-templatebuilder/avia-template-builder/php/class-font-manager.php files. You can also try the avf_default_iconfont filter.

If you need more help with this customization, you can reach out to Codeable.

Hi,

Okay, that’s unfortunate. Maybe there is a way to get rid of the SVG Icon or Entypo-Fontello altogether. In that case, we would use our own icons instead.

Two other things come to mind:

Are there no people experiencing this, as it seems to be common to change the media library path?
How can I stop all my SVG data from being loaded from the media library when using content elements with the icon function?

Best regards,
Sebastian
