code inspector disappeared

Hey friends,
I have worked a little with the SiteOrigin Custom CSS and loved the workflow.
Suddenly however the code inspector disappeared, and no magnifying glass symbol here to get it back.

I’ve looked up similar issues in the forum and tried all the possible solutions: disabling plugins, reinstalling, different browsers. no luck. Also the issues I found seem to be older then a year and seemingly have been solved by updates from SiteOrigins part.

Does anyone have a suggestion?

Cheers,

tc

    Hi TC

    Could you perhaps take a screenshot of what you’re seeing at AppearanceCustom CSS and upload to imgur.com or a similar site and send us the link?

    You could also try checking for JavaScript errors. If you find any, perhaps also take a screenshot of the console. Here is how: https://wordpress.org/support/article/using-your-browser-to-diagnose-javascript-errors/#step-3-diagnosis.

    Thanks

    And a screenshot of JS errors. is there a way to save a log of that? Because there are quite a few.

    update: I set the footer to display:none; a while back and now made it visible again. with that, the code inspector reappeared. not sure if that’s really cause and effect, but that’s what happened so far.

    … on the other hand, now the font is white and barely visible.

    alright, so I disabled the color in the style.css of my theme, which seemed to affect the color in the code inspector?

    Is that supposed to do that?

    Hi, I Work Here

    Thanks for the feedback. Please, could you try accessing the visual inspector in another browser without any browser extensions installed? Do the console errors persist?

    Hey Andrew,
    since I disabled the following lines in style.css, the error is gone.

    /*
    html, body, div, span, applet, object, iframe, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, p, blockquote, pre, a, abbr, acronym, address, big, cite, code, del, dfn, em, font, ins, kbd, q, s, samp, small, strike, strong, sub, sup, tt, var, dl, dt, dd, ol, ul, li, fieldset, form, label, legend, table, caption, tbody, tfoot, thead, tr, th, td {
    border: 0;
    font-family: ‘Source Code Pro’, serif;
    font-size:100%;
    font-style: inherit;
    font-weight: inherit;
    margin: 0;
    outline: focus;
    padding: 0;
    vertical-align: baseline;
    color: #333;
    }

    */

    cheers,
    TC

    Hi, I Work Here

    Thanks for the update. I’m not quite sure why that would be the case. Vantage uses what looks like an identical reset, you can view the rule here. Vantage and SiteOrigin CSS work together as expected.

    Dear Andrew,
    I can’t explain either. The name of the Theme I am using is Stacker Lite.
    I had the error in chromium and firefox btw. both of whom only share addblock as a plugin, so I don’t think it came from there.
    Anyway, thank you for your help!
    cheers,
    TC

    Hi, I Work Here

    Thanks for the update. I don’t seem to be able to replicate the issue with Stacker Lite at the moment. Here is what I see: https://imgur.com/a/R7QAaCY. No worries though, if you’re ok with the hotfix then let’s leave it here. As long as you can keep working and making progress, that’s the priority.

    If any other SiteOrigin questions arise, feel free to open a new thread.

    Cheers for now :)
