@cavalierlife I have an update. I contacted the developers of the other plugin (Essential Addons for Elementor). They said their devs see the issue, and will fix it in the next version (current version is 3.3.1), which should be released within 2 weeks. I can update here if/when that occurs.

Great thanks very much.

Actually wait. So in the section ‘Layout’ settings, should ‘Content Width’ be set to ‘boxed’ or ‘full width?’ When I set it to ‘boxed,’ it has the desired width. If I set it to ‘full width,’ then its width stretches to the full width of the screen.

OK great, that worked–thanks for the help!

We can consider this resolved.

@cavalierlife OK thanks for the instructions. I gave them a shot, but am still having issues. Here is what I did:

1. Open Elementor –> Settings–> Global Settings –> Style and set Content Width to 1218 px (screenshot).

2. Insert a new 3-column Elementor section onto the page.

3. Insert an Image Box element into each of the three new columns.

4. Edit the layout of the 3-column section. Ensure ‘Stretch’ is set to ‘no’ and ‘Content Width’ is set to ‘Full Width’ (screenshot).

5. Save changes.

6. Open front-end of page. When I do so, that new section is still only 750 px wide (screenshot).

Thoughts? Did I misunderstand something, or miss a step?

As a test, I changed ‘Stretch’ to ‘yes’ and set ‘Content Width’ to ‘Boxed.’ When I did so, the section seemed to take on the desired width (1218 px; screenshot).

Thanks.

Hi @wfdave Any update to this issue?

>> but I’m wondering if that Essential Addons plugin might not be contributing to this. Just a guess, but I notice it in the code, so check that out as well.

OK I gave that a test. Specifically, I deactivated that plugin, then tested again. No Elementor assets were loaded at all. When I reactivated the Essential Addons plugin, then all 5 files (3 from Elementor and 2 from Essential Addons) were loaded onto the page.

I’ll try to open a dialogue with those developers. I will report back here when I have news. Thanks for the help.

@cavalierlife Actually sorry, but I just re-tested this. I logged out of WordPress, and opened my home page in an incognito window. Even though I have not used Elementor on this page, the browser still loads two files:

/elementor/assets/lib/font-awesome/css/all.min.css?ver=3.3.0
/elementor/assets/lib/font-awesome/css/v4-shims.min.css?ver=3.3.0

screenshot. You can see the page here: https://dev.horizonhomes-samui.com/.

Any ideas how to ensure these files are loaded only on the pages that need them? I am comfortable adding custom PHP code.

Thanks.

OK that’s interesting. In my original test, I was logged in to WordPress. But I opened a Chrome incognito window to test. That’s when it loaded all of those assets (these assets–you can see the admin-bar stylesheet). I assumed the incognito window would load as if I was not logged in to WordPress. But I just tested again, this time I logged out of WordPress. The browser did *not* download the Elementor assets. So I guess incognito mode still loads as if I’m logged in to WordPress. Didn’t know that.

We can consider this resolved.

Go Hoos.

@wfdave Thanks for that. My live site has an .htaccess file, and my dev site has a separate .htaccess file. Each has a ‘Wordfence WAF’ section. In my live site’s .htaccess, that section is:

# Wordfence WAF
<IfModule mod_php5.c>
	php_value auto_prepend_file '/var/www/html/kabult/kabultec.org/wordfence-waf.php'
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_php7.c>
	php_value auto_prepend_file '/var/www/html/kabult/kabultec.org/dev/wordfence-waf.php'
</IfModule>
<Files ".user.ini">
<IfModule mod_authz_core.c>
	Require all denied
</IfModule>
<IfModule !mod_authz_core.c>
	Order deny,allow
	Deny from all
</IfModule>
</Files>

# END Wordfence WAF

While in my dev site’s .htaccess, that section is:

# Wordfence WAF
<IfModule mod_php5.c>
	php_value auto_prepend_file '/var/www/html/kabult/kabultec.org/dev/wordfence-waf.php'
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_php7.c>
	php_value auto_prepend_file '/var/www/html/kabult/kabultec.org/dev/wordfence-waf.php'
</IfModule>
<Files ".user.ini">
<IfModule mod_authz_core.c>
	Require all denied
</IfModule>
<IfModule !mod_authz_core.c>
	Order deny,allow
	Deny from all
</IfModule>
</Files>

# END Wordfence WAF

Thoughts? The dev site seems to reference the dev site wordfence-waf.php twice, while in one case on the live site, it references the dev site wordfence-waf.php.

>> Can you try removing auto_prepend_file from your .htaccess

I can try this. But which .htaccess are you referencing? And which lines specifically should I remove–every line that contains auto_prepend_file?

Thanks.

OK thanks for all that. We can consider this resolved.

>> In general, sliders just stink for performance, so I never use them personally. But if you’re set on using a slider, I would look for a slider that has lazy load built-in.

OK got it. Do you know of any sliders off the top of your head that have lazy load built-in?

>> there’s generally no concept of a slide being “almost” in view.

Well what about the solution I proposed? One in which initial page load downloads the first 2 images in the slider. When the second image slides in, the page then downloads image 3. When the third image slides in, the page downloads image 4. And so forth. Or you could change the numbers a bit, and download the first 3 images on initial page load. When the second image slides in, the page then downloads images 4 and 5. When the third image slides in, the page then downloads images 5 and 6. And so forth. Wouldn’t that be a decent lazy load solution? I know that’s not so simple to implement, and I’m not demanding that you do so. But couldn’t that at least serve as a blueprint of how one might implement lazy loading with a slider?

Thanks for the info. But due to the difficulties in setting that up, and the delay in your reply, I had to move forward with a different solution (Postmark for WordPress).

We can consider this resolved.

OK thanks for confirming that. We can consider this resolved.

@wfdave OK thanks for that. So what happens if, after the grace period expires, the new user still has not added/configured 2FA on their account? Will the new user be able to login? At that point, what will be required for the new user to login?
