Hello there,
our client is using version 5.6.9 of the Enfold Theme.
We need to add a bunch of Custom Post Types, each with Custom Templates.
Their current version 5.6.9 doesn’t support the Layout Builder for Custom Templates, so we’re considering updating the theme to the latest version.Prior to our supervision of the site, they customized a lot of things in the functions.php and other parts of the theme.
Since there’s a lot of customizations already implemented, I wanted to ask what kind of things we have to consider and take care of, before updating the theme, so no important data gets lost.
What files will be overwritten or deleted when updating the theme?—
Questions regarding Dynamic Content and Custom Templates:
– Do Enfold Custom Templates support ACF Repeater Fields in an element? For example a carousel containing a dynamic amount of boxes, each containing custom fields?
– Is it possible to create a custom archive page with a Custom Template built with the Layout Builder?
– What are currently known limitations of the Layout Builder for Custom Templates?We just need to know the details and capabilities of everything regarding dynamic content and templates, so we can plan the project precisely.
Thank you so much in advance!
Best regards,
Levi Gahl
Hey Levi Gahl,
Thank you for the inquiry.
The custom templates don’t support repeater fields at the moment. There is no option to assign a custom layout to an archive page, but you could create a custom page for a specific archive page and do a 301 redirect manually or with the help of a plugin.
Unfortunately, we won’t be able to help you trace back modifications that have been done in the parent theme. These modifications should have been done in the child theme. You’ll need to take note or create a record of the modified files, upload the latest version of the theme, then add the modifications back. We recommend doing all modifications in the child theme in the future.
Best regards,
Ismael
