Enfold 3.7: Compatibility, API and Bugfix release
An update that keeps your site running with all the latest external tools
During this summer we are going to split our big release into 2 smaller ones. The first one, Enfold 3.7 which we released this weekend is a bugfix and compatibility release. A no-thrills release when it comes to features but we figured it is necessary right now to ensure Enfold is running smoothly during the next months to come :)
The 3.8 release which is currently on its way will add those new beloved demos and features.
So why did we release 3.7 right now?
In a nutshell:
To ensure compatibility with:
- the upcoming version of WordPress 4.6
- WooCommerce 2.6
- WPML 3.4.1.1
- The new google Maps API
- the Instagram API
- the Facebook SDK version 2.7
Some of the API and Plugin changes, especially the google Maps API change and the latest version of Woocommerce startet to affect our customers and we wanted to get the update out as soon as possible.
So if you are experiencing any issues with WooCommerce just update the theme. If the google maps element is not working make sure to update the theme and enter an API key in the new “Google Services” area of your Enfold backend.
We also wanted to make sure that the theme runs without any major issues when WordPress 4.6 is released later this month.
Thats it for today, stay tuned for Enfold version 3.8 with new demos, which should also be ready in August…
Please make the shop a bit more attractive! Also it would be cool with features like compare, wishlist and offer countdown
– Appreciate so much your hard work on Enfold theme.
I must say that it is so nice to have such theme for WordPress.
– Also please insure those; Mobile Menu, iLightbox gallery effects with thumbnails, color Section hide on mobile/background gradient colors, & xTranslate plugin comparability.
So should this update have fixed the Google Map Media Elements issue where it won’t fetch your address’ coordinates? I still can’t get this to work on my website!
Yes it has. But of course you need to enter your API key now, since google changed the way that maps work. Here is a short tutorial on what to do: https://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/how-to-register-a-google-maps-api-key/

Hi Kriesi!
Great work with the new updates!
Just a quick question – How do you see the “future” Enfold in terms of design?
I really like the heading Avada and Bridge are going. However, they are not as well built and optimized as Enfold.
Keep up the good work!

Hi Kriesi,
Improving Woocommerce features would a huge plus. Overall, more flexibility on Woocommerce layouts would really fantastic.
Best. Keep up the good work.
Dear krisi.at team. THX for your great work and your efforts, to keep enfold top notch. I tested quite some of the multipurpose themes, that came up the last years and each time came back to enfold. I like your very clear and “no nonsense” approach in comparison to others. Without being short on features, enfold offers many possibilities to tweak to one’s own taste. Support is also great and response times are short. Really appreciate it. I’m looking forward to 3.8. :)
You write very well, am amazed with your blogging, you will definitely achieve success..!! Keep it up
Thanks for all the great work!
Enfold is great WordPress theme, It is good to read that , it is updated, many bugs has been fixed and Google Map API and Instagram API been added. Thank for sharing your good work
Great work, thanks.
It would be wonderful to get hints of upcoming updates. Other theme makers make special use of space available to them (websites, email messaging, Facebook, etc.,) and share their “plans” for their themes. These messages keep users anticipating for the features.
I also noticed that the feature request section is not updated much.
Best Regards,
