    I need help adding another social button at in the header line of a page with enfold theme.

    It didn’t give me a ‘xing’ icon in the backend. Is there any chance I can add it myself or would I have to wait for another release of the theme?
    Thanks for any help on this!

    Hi beenee!

    Thank you for using Enfold.

    Xing icon is available on Enfold 3.0. Please go to Enfold > Social Profiles panel.

    Cheers!

    Thanks Ismail,

    I just realised I obviously cannot find out which version of Enfold runs here. I took over the work from a previous admin.
    In order to check for theme updates, it asks me for a themeforest account.

    IS the only way to update the theme that I contact the actual buyer of the theme in order to update?
    Do you know any more efficient way?

    OK awefully sorry, I found an old mail where it states this data!!

    Checked for updates:
    “No Updates available. You are running the latest version! Great!”

    Now I’m still looking into “theme options > header
    …where I use the “header with social icons and buttons”

    Still no xing icon to pick!

    Do you have any ideas why?

    Thanks for your help!

    Hi!

    You are currently using a very old version of Enfold. Please update the theme to the latest version 3.0 via FTP – http://vimeo.com/67209750
    You are going to need to go to ThemeForest and login with the account you have purchased Enfold and go to Downloads section to download the latest version. You may need to re-configure header options after the update – http://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/portfolio-item/intro-to-the-header-configurator/

    Hi Vigit,

    thanks a lot for this!!!
    Updating an overall outdated Enfold Theme might cause even more issues then just the header reconfiguration, don’t you think?

    I’m a bit scared to update being pretty new to WP. Other then the general backups would you recommend other precautions befor I start the manual update?

    txs again,

    Stefan

    Hi!

    Actually, updating the theme is essential to keep up with WordPress and third party plugins. As long as you didn’t modify anything on the theme files, you are good to go. Theme options will be retained as it is. If possible, please use a child theme: http://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/using-a-child-theme/

    Regards,

    Thanks Ismael,
    that’s really good and helpful news!

    I have taken over the Enfold from a previous admin and cannot really say if anything was altered.
    I’ll try!
    One quick question:
    If anything fails or ruins the LAyout after update to the latest Enfold theme, would I be able to roll back with WP means? Or would a full backup do the trick? (I’m using BackUpWordPress). What’s the best advise?
    As I mentioned befor, I’m relatively new to WP, needless to say, all help is very appreciated,

    txs again

    Hey!

    I’m sorry but it looks like you’re using 2.0.1 which is almost a year old. A lot has change since and the update to 3.0 will definitely break few elements on your website. You need to reconfigure them again or create those broken element from scratch. Please update the theme regularly if new version is available.

    Cheers!

    Hi Ismael,

    thanks for the info!

    Is there any efficient way I can try the update and roll-back if it ruins the design completely?

    Thanks

    Hi,

    I thought I understood the brilliant idea to create a child theme for testing purposes!

    I set up a child theme folder as per codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes page

    What I’m lacking is the “import from parent theme” button.

    My style.css:

    /*
    Theme Name: Enfold Child
    Theme URI: http://perioli-language-pilots.de/enfold-child
    Description: A Child Theme for the Enfold WordPress Theme. If you plan to do a lot of file modifications we recommend to use this Theme instead of the original Theme. Updating will be much easier then.
    Author: John Doe
    Author URI: http://kriesi.at
    Template: enfold
    Version: 1.0.0
    Text Domain: enfold
    */

    @import url(“../enfold/style.css”);

    /* =Theme customization starts here
    ————————————————————– */
    Any Ideas what could be wrong?

    This is the first step from updating Enfold 2.01 to the latest Enfold version.

    I need to make sure to reduce offline times of the page.

    Thanks for your help!

    Hi!

    Import parent theme options button will appear when you update the parent theme to the latest version. Old version did not have such feature

    Cheers!

    OK,

    I need to make sure I can handle all the issues deriving from an Enfold update (2.01 to 3.0)

    Otherwise I don’t touch it.

    Any ideas on how I can ‘test’ the update first?

    I know, I’ve got a backup. Excuse me for being over-cautious.

    #332373

    Hi!

    Can you create a testing environment? You can refer to this page to move your installation to another domain – http://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/move-from-a-local-installation-to-a-live-server/

    Hi there,

    I’m catching up on the Enfold update for my customer
    http://perioli-language-pilots.de/

    The purchase code should be:
    d3dcfe33-f6ad-4b75-8406-9af193a8058a
    It was purchased by the ‘designer’ Stephanie Lotties.

    I’m the admin and developer of the page now and like to update
    everything manually on a test environment.

    Where can I get the update files for the latest Enfold (3.0?), please.

    Thanks for your help,

    Stefan

    Hey!

    You need the themeforest account. Login then go to the Downloads panel.

    Thanks!

    in order to get the update, I had to contact the previous admin of the site who originally bought it. I just took over the responsibilities…

    Is there any way to transfer a purchase code to the actual “owner” of the website, hence to another themeforest/envato user?

    Thanks again,

    Stefan

    Hey Stefan

    You are going to need to contact Envato Support as we cannot decide or make such changes – https://help.market.envato.com/hc/en-us
