When Sidebar Position set to “left” – Custom Home Page is not showing any content and wrong format

Hi Team,

I currently purchased Premium for the Vantage theme and am really happy about the custom possibilities that i have now compared to the free version and have done before through a child theme. I’m really really happy with it!!

Unfortunately I came across a bug i wanted to tell you about so you can correct it and maybe get a quick fix for it:
When the custom sidebar position is being set to “left” and the Custom Home Page is being activated and edited the Main page gets destroyed in the main area. In combination with the Meta Slider it shows everything correct up to the slider but the main area below the slider is not showing any content and the empty boxes which have different background colors are not in correct positions and format.
This seems to happen only when the sidebar position is set to left. When set to “None” or “right” everything seems to be correct.

I’m currently working on it locallly so I can’t provide you with a link. Maybe you will be able to recreate the bug on your site to see what i mean.

Just wanted to let you know about!

Thanks and have a nice day!

    Hi DaVit

    Thanks for your support and for the long wait. Really glad to hear you’re enjoying Vantage Premium. If you have the time and energy we always appreciate a bug report.

    I tried to replicate now but unfortunately wasn’t able to. Ideally we’d need to see this live to try figure out what’s up. Can you perhaps go to Pages > Home and check the page template drop down menu on the right. Check that it’s set to Page Builder Home.

    Thanks :)

    Hi Andrew

    thanks for coming back to this.

    I had a look at the settings of the page template and it’s already set to Page Builder Home.

    But something changed since i’ve discovered it. I’m usually working with a child theme for my customizations where everything works fine with vantage as a parent. Unfortunately when activating vantage parent to have a look at your mentioned settings and replicate the bug, i discovered that not everything is disappearing below the slider as before, just the circle icon widget area and few other widgets further below are gone. Between those missing parts it shows two widget areas as it should. Don’t know if this means anything.

    Sorry to be not more of help with this bug report ;-).
    Cheers!

    Hi, I Work Here

    Thanks for the additional feedback. Wish we had more but without seeing the problem we’re unfortunately a little stuck. If possible, perhaps develop your site with the sidebar right and switch it left once live so we can check out the problem.

    Or any other kind of short term fix you can think of.
