Header menu not showing on PC, Ok on Mac

5 years ago · Last reply by Andrew Misplon 5 years ago

Hi
I added a second menu in the header using the appropriate widget.
It works perfectly fine for me but it does not show for the person for whom I am working on the website.
I checked with 3 different browsers (Firefox, Chrome & Safari) and everything is fine on 3 different Macs.
My friend uses a PC (Lenovo with latest Windows OS). She checked with Chrome and IE with the same negative result.
What should I be checking ?
Thanks

    Hi

    Thanks for reaching out.

    Do you have a public URL where we can take a look at what’s going on?

    Thanks. We’ve checked the header widget area menu in Firefox, Chrome, IE 11, and Edge, it’s showing in all of them. The top bar is slightly covering the menu. Perhaps that’s the issue? https://imgur.com/a/VpTGIsG

    Thank Andrew you for checking. The top bar disappears as soon as the cookie’s policy is accepted; it cannot be the reason.
    Probably some odd setting on her computer but it is hard to figure out what it could be…

    Thanks for the update. At the moment, we’re unfortunately unable to replicate the issue.

    I just checked again on my own computer (MacBook Pro) and have three different results depending on the browser (I could send you print screens if you give me a link)
    1) Firefox = perfect
    2) Chrome = widget menu in header not showing and inactive (I tried clicking in every spot, nothing there)
    3) Safari = active and visible but wrong format (too large and hitting on the logo)

    There is definitely something going on with this widget or the way I used it…

  7. Andrew Misplon Staff 5 years, 1 month ago

    In your Custom CSS, you’ve set the line-height of the header widget menu to -1px. That declaration should be removed and might explain the issue described by your friend. In that same CSS rule, the font-weight of the menu is set to 700 but only 400 is being imported. Try to change the weight from 700 to 400 in your Custom CSS.

    It does the trick on Safari which now looks exactly like Firefox, but still nothing on Chrome.

  9. GerLech 5 years, 1 month ago

    I cleared the cache, just in case, but still nothing

  10. Andrew Misplon Staff 5 years, 1 month ago

    All is ok on my end in Chrome using a Mac Pro, here is how the menu looks https://imgur.com/a/BkQFAh0. You can perhaps try temporarily removing all Custom CSS to see if there is any change. You could also try viewing the site in an Incognito window with all browser extensions disabled.

  11. GerLech 5 years, 1 month ago

    I tried both ideas as well as no CSS on an incognito window, but none works.
    This is really weird.

  12. Andrew Misplon Staff 5 years, 1 month ago

    You could perhaps ask someone else to confirm the Chrome result.

  13. GerLech 5 years, 1 month ago

    Sure, I will do, but there is already two different persons with two different computers.

  14. GerLech 5 years, 1 month ago

    Hi
    I have some info which might help find out what is happening.
    I shut down my computer with several windows still open, including the Chrome window with link to the site.
    When I logged in today I could see this:
    Chrome opens up
    the structure of the site pops up with both menus
    then the Travel Dream logo appears and the top menu disappears, like the whole section was being covered by the logo area.

  15. GerLech 5 years, 1 month ago

    Following my previous discovery, I thought that it could be that the surface of the logo might cover the menu.
    I tried replacing that logo with a ridiculously small image and it worked.
    Why would that be interpreted differently in Chrome than in other browsers ??
    Is there a way to adjust that imprint of the logo area ?

  16. Andrew Misplon Staff 5 years, 1 month ago

    At CustomizeTheme SettingsHeader you can perhaps try enabling No Widget Overlay and see if that changes the issue. At the moment, when I view the site in Chrome, I’m, unfortunately, unable to recreate the problem.

  17. GerLech 5 years, 1 month ago

    There is no option for Header under Theme Settings.
    I am running version Version: 1.15.5 which, I think, is up to date
    All I have is:
    logo
    layout
    home
    navigation
    icons
    blog
    social
    general

  18. Andrew Misplon Staff 5 years, 1 month ago

    Apologies, Theme SettingsLogo.

  19. GerLech 5 years, 1 month ago

    No problem … but it still does not work.
    That website being for an association, I suggested to modify their logo to make it more square instead of rectangular. I don’t know if they could accept it but I tried it and it would work.
    Anyway that issue with Chrome is mind blowing, I cannot start to understand why this browser would interpret the code in a different way than the others under some circumstances.

    Hi,

    Would it be possible for you to re-add the larger logo and then take a screenshot of the issue you’re seeing? This will give us a better idea of what you’re seeing. We currently don’t support attachments so you’ll need to upload the image to somewhere like Imgur and reply with a link to the image.

    While the issue is present, can you please try disabling all non-SiteOrigin plugins to see if that helps? I ask as I see that the logo is being lazy loaded so it’s possible you may be getting different resulted because of that.

    Kind regards,
    Alex

  21. GerLech 5 years, 1 month ago

    Sure, the bigger logo is back; you can see the difference between Firefox & Chrome here https://imgur.com/a/ulVsXAk
    As I said before, when I upload a modified logo (about 50% smaller) then the menu shows on Chrome also.

    I deactivated all plugins and now cannot even access my WP Dashboard…
    Anyway I checked Chrome again and now the logo & menu are showing properly.

  22. GerLech 5 years, 1 month ago

    I have restored the backup of the previous day; you can check it again at https://traveldream.ch/

  23. GerLech 5 years, 1 month ago

    There we go !
    I found that it is the plugin Smush by WPMU DEV which causes the problem with Chrome. When deactivated, all looks fine.
    This is a big problem for me as that website uses tons of images from various origins and Smush is just perfect to regulate them… Bummer.

  24. GerLech 5 years, 1 month ago

    Problem solved: I just unchecked smushing of .png formats and that did the trick.
    Thanks for helping me think through this strange situation.

  25. Andrew Misplon Staff 5 years, 1 month ago

    Super, glad to hear you’re making progress :) Thanks for the update.
