When I activate my child theme, the header menu on my website displays a combination of all header and footer menu items plus others that aren't on any menu. I was able to activate the same child theme on a staging site of my website where the menus all displayed properly. I even tried activating the child theme on the live site without any files in the child theme folder. Even without any files in there, the problem still happened. Re-activating the main divi theme solves the problem, but obviously means I can't have a child-theme.
I've tried the usual google search avenues for this problem but haven't found anything or anyone with the same problem. Has anyone here had this kind of problem with divi or a different theme before and may I ask what you did to solve it?
Many thanks
Eventually, I realised my problem happened when changing languages, therefore it was related to my language plugin Polylang. From there I found someone else with the same problem recently who found out the solution: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/polylang-doesnt-work-with-child-theme/

I'm a web development student, and I am helping a friend in adding some custom links and slider to her wordpress website. The thing is the developer who made her website 6 years ago didn't create a child theme and she agrees to not making any update
I need to add some links in the footer widgets, which i did, but i see that there is an image background to the container containing these widgets, is it safe if i just remove the background from the theme css file ? I mean as she isn't updating her theme nor website, can I achieve it by removing it by editing the theme CSS,
ps sorry for my newbie question but can't find any ressource on this special question.
it looks like this, there is a background on the div (i've put the same color on the smaller div)
Thank you for your help and your time.
It's not a best practice to edit the Parent theme CSS. Even if you do so when a new update comes it will all be overwritten(If you don't update your theme periodically you will be missing out on many security fixes). So it's best if you can create a child theme and update the changes there. Just change the current theme to your child theme it's just a one click action and will save you all your changes in the future. Hope this helps.
if I understand your question correctly, I'd say it's not safe to remove the background CSS from the theme's style.css (or whatever file it is using). The problem might be theme updates that'll overwrite your changes.
So the best would be to create a child theme with a fews clicks, it's really easy:

So you won't have to bother with updates.
Depending on the WordPress version you might have the Custom CSS Section within -> Appearance -> Customize - https://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/editing-css/ - Here you can just write your own CSS to overwrite the background of the container.
I’ve been using cf7 for a while now and I must say, good job!
At the moment the problem I’m experiencing is that any text I insert using Divi builder just vanishes and although the I-beam cursor still shows when going over the text I cant seem to find out the reason why the text doesn’t show (the text is located in the middle of the screen on the background image).
I’ve inspected suspected elements and found no luck within the css of both cf7 and divi.
I’ve removed and inserted the shortcode and the problem definitely resides within cf7
Any idea what the cause of this could be?
More information would be helpful. There might be a conflict between CF7 and Divi but that's not likely the case. Elegant Themes recognizes that CF7 is a super popular plugin and even wrote a blog post about how to style it.
Are you using a child theme? Did you make any customizations to your CSS, functions file, etc? Without being able to see the code it's much tougher to troubleshoot, even a screenshot would be better.
This never used to happen on my site, I haven't knowingly adjusted anything in the index which could cause the issue. But with the regular web address it automatically scrolls down the page. However if I type www.domain.uk/# it works as intended.
Any ideas? Sorry for the noobie question :D
This is likely happening because you're modifying a Bootstrap template. Some templates have scrolling features that tend to be useless once you do any kind of customizing. I would go through the templates' Javascripts and look for anything that's related to scrolling, and either fix or remove it.
Recently I've been working on a website for my client. I want to make clear that I'm not a proffessional webdeveloper, I'm a designer with some basic coding skills. I've created some simillar wordpress pages before, and never encountered that problem. Even though I'm using the same theme (Stockhoml by Select Themes) on all of my websites.
The address is: http://odlotowebusy.pl
Everything seems to be fine when the page loads, but when I try to scroll down it all fades to white (only in Edge/IE). I have no idea what couses this problem. Meybe somone here will be able to help me?
have you tried disabling all the plugins you are using and enabling them one at a time to see if any of them affect the site?
recently some css was updated via a template that required me to restore a website. Now, the restore doesn't have the same functionality as it used to. specifically, the css / bootstrap dropdown menu now appears to remain static. You can see the issue on this page here: http://bit.ly/1tDKZEq
I have gone through the different css menus to try and edit the code in firebug but can't seem to fix it, and the template developer isn't any help. The site in question is linked here: http://bit.ly/1tDKZEq
I've compared the css files to the webarchive version of the site, and the css is exactly the same, so I don't know what I am missing...thanks for any help!
