Enfold 8.0 is the biggest change to the way the Layout Builder feels since we built it. The elements no longer sit in a toolbar across the top that scrolls away the moment you start working – they now live in a full height sidebar with its own scrollbar, grouped into sections you can open and close. On a long page they stay in reach the whole time. If you prefer the old arrangement it is still there, under Layout Builder -> Position Of The Element Panel -> “Toolbar” :)

The builder’s old fullscreen mode is gone, and a better one took its place. There is now a fullscreen button at the top of the element panel: in the block editor it turns on the editor’s own fullscreen, and in the classic editor it folds the admin menu away and lays the page out in a single column with the builder at the top of it. Either way that is roughly four hundred pixels of extra room to work in, and clicking it again gives the screen back. One nice side effect of retiring the old mode: custom elements can now be added and edited at any time, because the restriction that greyed those buttons out only ever existed inside it.

The whole interface got sharper along the way. Element and toolbar icons are vector graphics now, so they stay crisp on high resolution screens, and there are a lot of smaller tweaks throughout the builder that add up to something that simply feels more solid to work in.

We also improved dragging. Highlighting drop areas always worked, but the scrolling around it is much better now – hold an element near the top or bottom of the screen and the page scrolls to follow you, faster the closer you get to the edge. And in the block editor the element no longer drifts away from your pointer once you have scrolled.

A word about telling you things

Here is something we are genuinely not good at: telling you what we have shipped. Plenty of work goes out that nobody hears about, and that is on us.

So Enfold 8.0 adds a “What’s new” panel – in the admin bar and in the header of the theme options – that shows Enfold news and release information as it happens. And because a notification you cannot switch off is just nagging, there is a Notification Center in Theme Update where you can turn the panel off in the admin bar, in the theme options, or in both. We would rather you kept it on, but that is your call, not ours.

While we were in there we cleaned up the rest of the admin too. Enfold notices now carry the Enfold accent colour on their left edge, skipping several versions no longer stacks a notice for every one you missed, Theme Extensions stopped cluttering the WordPress admin bar, and the theme options address bar now follows the section you are on – so you can finally bookmark or share a link to a specific settings section.

Two new demos, and the elements they needed

We built two new demos: Enfold Reef and Enfold Studio, both installable straight from your theme options. Both are deliberately more complex than our usual demos, because we wanted to show what custom elements and templates can actually do rather than describe it.

Building them turned up things Enfold was missing, so those became new elements. The List Menu drops one of your menus – or a custom list of links – into a column, vertically or horizontally, with its own colours, hover colours, sizes and a link padding that enlarges the clickable area instead of just spacing the text out. The WooCommerce product gallery is now fully integrated too, with half a dozen layout styles so you can present a product’s images properly instead of settling for a row of thumbnails. And there is Cloudflare Turnstile integration for your forms.

Demo import got a serious pass as well – a long list of small fixes that together make importing a demo a good deal more predictable than it used to be.

One more thing: Enfold is becoming THE multilingual theme

We have been working on something alongside 8.0. Omnalingo is our own AI translation plugin, built for Enfold specifically – not a generic plugin that happens to tolerate it. The goal is simple: your Enfold site, properly multilingual, without the usual weekend of wrestling with string tables.

It is in closed beta right now. There are 50 seats, and it is free for as long as the beta runs. If you want one:

Apply for a beta seat

We would especially like testers running real, messy, content-heavy sites – those are the ones that teach us the most.

So whats new with this one?

Here is the list of all the changes ;)

Version 8.0

added: new demo: Enfold Reef
added: new demo: Enfold Studio
added: Cloudflare Turnstile integration
added: Improved Gallery elements (WooCommerce Gallery enabled, remove Gallery Button, additional Layouts)
added: List Menu element – shows one of your menus or a custom list of links, can be placed inside a column, and lists them vertically or horizontally
added: List Menu offers colors, hover colors, font sizes, text transform and text decoration, plus a link padding that enlarges the clickable area instead of only spacing the text apart
added: “What’s new” panel in the admin bar and the theme options header, showing Enfold news and release info
added: Notification Center in Theme Update, to switch the news panel off in the admin bar, the theme options panel, or both
added: Documentation, Support and version links in the footer of the Enfold admin screens

added: A heavily modernized visual experience for the Layout Builder:

The element panel:

– Elements now sit in a full height sidebar with collapsible sections instead of the top toolbar – Layout Builder > Position Of The Element Panel switches back
– Sidebar can be dragged wider or narrower, snaps to one to four columns and remembers the width
– Search box filters elements by name and description, opening only the sections that match
– In a narrow panel the search box moves below the icon row
– Element sorting moved from a dropdown into an icon menu
– Tooltips on the panel icons appear without the usual hover delay
– New fullscreen button – the editor’s own fullscreen in the block editor, admin menu folded away and a single column layout in the classic editor, about 400px more room either way
– The builder’s own fullscreen mode and its corner expand icon are gone
– Custom elements can be added and edited at any time
– Layout Builder options grouped by how often you change them
– Advice notes above the builder can be closed and stay closed
– Sidebar follows the writing direction of the admin
– Dialogs open and close noticeably faster

Icons:

– Element icons are vector graphics, crisp on high resolution screens
– Toolbar icons – add, edit, duplicate, delete, undo, redo, drag handles – are vector too
– Every element has its own icon – shop elements, Single Tab and Single Slide no longer borrow one
– Element icons can be replaced from a child theme, filter avf_builder_element_icon_file
– The modal close button no longer uses the delete icon

The canvas:

– Element icon and name sit on one row with a larger icon
– Every element carries its icon and name, including the ones that draw their own preview
– Element buttons – save, duplicate, edit, delete – evenly spaced and writing direction aware
– Elements name what they hold – accordion sections, form fields, button rows, slide captions, map locations
– Chart datasets, Post Metadata fields and Table, Social Buttons, Countdown and Dynamic Data captions are named too
– Blog Posts, Portfolio Grid, Magazine, Post Slider, Masonry and the shop elements name their categories
– Galleries and sliders show their first pictures as thumbnails, updating as you edit
– A Code Block shows its first lines as written
– Social Buttons shows its networks as icons – a site wide row links to where they are chosen
– The Headline Rotator shows its words in the sentence, List Menu and Fullwidth Sub Menu show menu or own entries
– The Custom Layout element names its entry and opens it for editing in a new tab

Drag and drop:

– Elements dragged onto the page highlight the drop areas again
– Dragging near the top or bottom scrolls the page, faster closer to the edge
– In the block editor the dragged element no longer drifts from the pointer or hides behind the panel

Fixed along the way:

– Audio Player, Team Member and slider elements drew a bitmap canvas icon instead of the vector one
– The keyboard shortcut help opened beside its icon instead of underneath it
– The element bar covered the top of the layout in fullscreen view
– The sorting dropdown and shortcut help sat behind the Update and Close buttons in fullscreen view

tweak: Enfold admin notices now carry the Enfold accent colour on their left edge
tweak: After an update only the newest Enfold notice is shown – skipping several versions no longer stacks a notice for each one
tweak: Theme Extensions no longer clutters the WordPress admin bar – it stays where it was in the Enfold menu
tweak: The theme options address bar now follows the section you are on, so a section can be bookmarked or shared
tweak: The Customizer section of the theme options no longer carries its BETA notice
tweak: Removed HTML tags from navigation menu descriptions
tweak: Demo import assigns the navigation menus of a demo to the theme menu locations, whatever the menus are named

fixed: In elements built from a list of items – an accordion, a slider, a form – the button that adds an entry produced a copy of the first one instead of a new blank entry
fixed: Demo import assigned the navigation to an empty placeholder menu, leaving the site without a menu
fixed: Demo import kept a logo or background image pointing at the machine the demo was built on
fixed: Demo import left some demo images loading from kriesi.at instead of copying them to your site
fixed: Links to a theme options section (#goto_…) did not switch the section when the options page was already open
fixed: CSS cascade regression theme styles loading before element styles
fixed: Added alphanumeric check before modifying character
fixed: Gallery element lost the portrait layouts of the Mosaic, Filmstrip and Editorial styles
fixed: Imported demos showed the wrong product categories and images in elements because the ids of the demo were kept
fixed: Buttons on a slide linked back to the demo site, or to an unrelated page, instead of the matching page or product category on your site
fixed: On a multisite network, Enfold notices you had already dismissed kept coming back – a site with no notices of its own was clearing the dismissed list for every other site
fixed: Importing a demo could turn an unrelated page like the privacy policy into the blog page
fixed: Demo import reported a misleading file permission error when the downloaded demo package was incomplete

updated: LayerSlider 8.4.0

updated: Italian language files it_IT (version 7.1.6, provided by BigBatT – info@luigicircello.it)

The post Enfold 8.0 – Redesigned Editor first appeared on Kriesi.at - Premium WordPress Themes.

The 7.1 series was mostly a long run of maintenance work, and it finishes on a nice high note: four new Gallery layouts — Mosaic Grid, Filmstrip, Editorial Split and Spotlight — so a gallery no longer has to be a plain grid of equal squares :)

A lot of this series went into things you hopefully never notice. Several vulnerabilities reported by the Patchstack team were fixed, the theme was brought up to date with PHP 8.3, 8.4 and 8.5, and we worked through a pile of accessibility improvements ahead of the European Accessibility Act.

We also went through the Theme Options and Layout Builder descriptions and rewrote them in plainer language, because a lot of them had not been touched in years. And with that we are off to Enfold 8.0, which is a much bigger story — more on that shortly.

So whats new with this one?

The post Enfold 7.1 – New Gallery Layouts, Accessibility and Security first appeared on Kriesi.at - Premium WordPress Themes.

Enfold has shipped with the same icon font for a very long time. With 7.0 you can finally upload your own SVG icon sets instead — including coloured SVG icons, which keep their own colours rather than inheriting the ones from your colour scheme :)

The whole icon handling was rebuilt around this. There is a new “SVG Iconset and Iconfont Manager” in the theme options, you can switch the bundled entypo-fontello font off entirely if you do not need it, and the accessibility markup around icons got a lot better along the way.

On the shop side, various Layout Builder product elements can now filter for WooCommerce OnSale products. We also fixed two vulnerabilities reported through WordFence and brought the theme up to speed with PHP 8.2. More on the icon sets in the documentation.

So whats new with this one?

Here is the list of all the changes ;)

Version 7.0

feature: added option to various ALB elements to filter WooCommerce OnSale products
feature: support to upload custom SVG Icon sets, also colored svg icons (color scheme settings or custom color settings do not affect color of these icons)

tweak: support german umlaut in URL of “Table of content” widget
tweak: added class content-* to grid row cell container .flex_cell
tweak: load google maps js API async
tweak: remove double HTML markup for “date” in ALB timeline

WordFence vulnerablity fix: limit download of theme options to admin only (discovered by mikemyers)
WordFence vulnerablity fix: removed not needed function avia_ajax_get_image_color() (discovered by mikemyers)

fixed: Fold/Unfold button not hidden in responsive mode when fold container is hidden

Version 7.1

performance: avoid multiple db queries when using attachment_url_to_postid

added: Google Fonts Source Sans Pro and Poppins to default font list

The post Enfold 7.0 – Bring Your Own SVG Icons first appeared on Kriesi.at - Premium WordPress Themes.

This is the big one. Enfold 6.0 introduces Dynamic Content — instead of typing a value into an element, you point the element at a data source and it fills itself in. That works across more than thirty elements now, from Special Heading and Textblock all the way through to Galleries and Image Hotspots :)

It comes with full Advanced Custom Fields support for sixteen ACF field types, plus support for ACF post types and taxonomies. There is a new Dynamic Data element, a new Custom Layout element, and an av_dynamic_el shortcode so you can output dynamic data outside of the Layout Builder as well.

Custom Post Types got a proper home too — you can now activate your own post types for the Layout Builder, pick default terms when saving, and add taxonomy and thumbnail columns to their edit screens. There is a lot to unpack here, so we wrote it up properly in the documentation.

So whats new with this one?

The post Enfold 6.0 – Dynamic Content, Custom Layouts and ACF Support first appeared on Kriesi.at - Premium WordPress Themes.

Long pages were the theme of this release. Enfold 5.6 introduces a Fold/Unfold option for Textblocks, Grid Rows, Sections and Columns, so you can collapse a long block of content behind a toggle instead of making every visitor scroll past it :)

We also added a Reading Progress Bar that sits below the header and fills up as the visitor moves down the page — a small thing, but it makes a long article feel a lot less endless.

Sections can now take a custom height depending on screen width, the footer can hold up to six columns, and the header shrinking amount starts at 1% so you can dial it in properly.

So whats new with this one?

Here is the list of all the changes ;)

Version 5.6

– Textblock
– Grid Row
– Sections
– Columns

tweak: extend theme option to allow 6 columns in footer

tweak: extend theme option -> Header -> Shrinking Amount to start from 1%

The post Enfold 5.6 – Long Pages first appeared on Kriesi.at - Premium WordPress Themes.

This one is our most visual release in a while. Enfold 5.5 adds a Lottie Animations element, so you can drop lightweight vector animations (both .lottie and .json) straight into a layout without a single line of code — and a Before-After Image element for those image comparisons that always used to need a plugin :)

Touch got a lot of love too. The lightbox now supports swipe, and so do single post, portfolio and product pages, so moving through your content on a phone finally feels the way people expect. The Gallery element also got navigation arrows that scroll through images directly, without opening the lightbox at all.

On top of that both the Animated Countdown and the Events Countdown got new styling options — flip numbers and a retro clock look — plus a theme option to set a custom shrink factor for the shrinking header.

So whats new with this one?

Here is the list of all the changes ;)

The post Enfold 5.5 – Lottie Animations, Before/After Images and Swipe first appeared on Kriesi.at - Premium WordPress Themes.

The three releases after our Parallax update were all about giving you finer control over how a layout behaves on different screens. Responsive font sizes, margins and paddings landed across more than a dozen elements, and we added a dedicated desktop media query so you can override the theme default per screen size instead of fighting it :)

Version 5.3 also brought a brand new Chart element for displaying data on your pages, an option to pull image copyright text straight from the media library, and a Page Element Filter that keeps your layout content out of blog, portfolio and product queries.

Under the hood there was a lot of performance work as well — dynamically generated CSS files are now minified, the theme can load minified js and css without merging them (which is what you want on HTTP/2), and we introduced CSS variables for the General Styling theme options. You can read more about the new Chart element in the documentation.

The post Enfold 4.6 Release and Late Birthday Sale first appeared on Kriesi.at - Premium WordPress Themes.

So this is probably one of the most discussed topics in recent WordPress history. The introduction of the new WordPress Block editor (or Gutenberg editor as it was previously named). Some love it, some hate it, (and judging from the abysmal 2.5 star rating of the plugin, the later group is currently probably the bigger one), but no matter if you like or dislike it, it will affect you if you use WordPress in one way or another.

Here is how it affects our Enfold users, users of our other themes and also how it affects us :)

1.) Enfold Users

With the latest Enfold release to version 4.5.1 we have tried to incorporate the new editor in the same way as it was previously used. Which means when you create or edit a page or post you have the option to either use the WordPress Block Editor or you can switch to Enfolds very own Advanced Layout Builder. The Layout builder basically behaves the same way as always :)

Although with the introduction of a non-reloading backend some features definitely come in more handy now, like the undo/redo functionality :)

Other than that: When writing and editing non-template builder pages and posts you will need to learn to work with the new Block Editor. If you don’t want to do that there is a plugin that will disable the new Block editor and activate the old classic editor.

To sum it up: As Enfold user you either will need to upgrade to Enfold version 4.5.1 or install the Block Editor Disabling Plugin, if you want to run WordPress 5.0. Otherwise you won’t have proper access to Enfolds layout builder.

2.) Other Theme Users (Replete, Abundance, Choices etc)

Fore those themes you will need to make a choice. They all use an old template builder which is not very flexible and other than Enfolds Layout builder is probably also inferior to the new Block Editor. So you can either use the Block Editor and no longer use the old layout builder or install the “Disable Gutenberg” plugin and use the old one, along with our old template builder.

Apart from that: We used the new WordPress release to take a closer look at those themes and what we want to do next with them. We unfortunately came to the conclusion that it is no longer viable to maintain them at this point.

The reason for this is basically the sales model that Themeforest has chosen. Instead of the need for users to re-license the theme every year for new updates (which is quite common in the WordPress community) they decided to try and generate recurring revenue by selling “support add ons”. However those are never enough to cover the development costs of a theme that is no longer in its prime. And since all of our other themes are now 7 years or longer on the market they are quite old in internet terms ;)

So for the last few years Enfold basically covered the update costs for those themes. We think it’s time to deprecate them now, as long as they are still working and try to encourage existing users to move on to another theme of choice (preferably Enfold of course ;) )

We will keep supporting our older themes in the support forums for months to come but there won’t be any new releases or updates on Themeforest. In fact, within the next 1-2 weeks  we will remove them from Themeforest altogether. So if you are running one of those themes and want to grab the latest version please do so now :)

If you have purchased one of those themes within the last 6 months and don’t want to use it because of this, feel free to request a refund on Themeforest. We will grant it, no questions asked :)

Also if you want to keep them running  on your site there are a lot of third party developers out there able to help with all kind of issues and improvements. So if you need help that is beyond the scope of what our support can do we will be happy to connect you :)

3.) What it means for Kriesi Media

So since we are removing all our older themes from Themeforest and only keep Enfold we will become a “one product” company. This should free up some development (and in the far future also some support) time which our existing Enfold customer base probably appreciates :)
We have some heavy improvements planned for our very own Advanced Template Builder but for the near future our editor and the WordPress Block editor won’t merge in any significant way. So if you enjoy working with Enfold you can be assured that it will stay that way :)

As always, if you find any issues with the latest release feel free to open up a thread in our support forum so we can try to fix it for you and others as soon as possible :)
