I recently updated my word press site to the latest version of Enfold. I have now noticed that the search Icon is not there but the word SEARCH is there. I have found where to edit the word to change it or take it away in functions-enfold.php from reading various other topics even though they basically dealt with wanting to put the word IN instead of my situation. If I remove the word the icon is still not there but clicking in that area still brings up a search box. What can i do to just get the search icon only?
Hey elrey52!
Hmm, it looks like the icons are not displaying on your site. Try doing this, http://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/enable-cors/, and then clear your browser cache and let us know when your done.
Also be sure to deactivate all plugins while testing.
Best regards,
Elliottok. I tried that and it did not bring the icons back. I think I have resolved it another way though.
When we updated the Enfold Theme to the latest version it had some differences from what our website looked like before…header, fonts etc I have taken over maintaining this website from someone else so in trying to figure out why I was looking to see if some files had been manually modified. I realized there was a list of CSS files in the wp-content/themes/enfold/css folder that all had a different modified date than the rest of the enfold theme on my old site (test server) meaning those had been manually edited and changed. So once we updated the theme to the latest version I re-uploaded those modified CSS files and overwrote the newest CSS files that were included with the latest Enfold Theme and the site looked normal again (although i didnt catch the search icon right away). So today I was notified that that the icon overlay on an image that was also a link was not working too. Thinking the two issues might be related I went back to the CSS folder and this time replaced all the files with the standard ones from the latest Enfold Theme. Again it made the customization on my website disappear and it looked a little weird but my search icon and the image/link overlay re-appeared. So then I tried uploading my modified CSS files back 1 by 1 until I saw the search icons disappear again. It seems to happen on the base.css file. Since I am not a web developer I just want to ask 1 more question…is it ok to modify this file? I have run a “Diff” program on the previously modified base.css with the standard base.css that was with the latest Enfold Theme. I dont want to waste my time trying to replace the changes in this file if it turns out that it should never be modified at all.
Hey!
All css modifications should be placed inside the Quick CSS field or the custom.css file, better yet, add it in the child theme’s style.css. You have to avoid editing theme core files because they will be overwritten once you update the theme. I’m sorry but can we can’t help you trace back css modifications made on the base.css file.
Cheers!
