Navbar sub-menus and logo are ‘behind’ other items

  • Hi everyone

    I hope you can help – I’m assuming this is CSS related, but it might be something else entirely since I’m fairly new to it all.

    My url is https://www.ravedigga.com. The theme is a commercial one I bought online and before making it all live with my own graphics and content I’ve been experimenting with design and layout. A demo of the theme is here – https://www.gorillathemes.com/tribal/

    If you compare it to the theme demo page you’ll see that the ‘tribal’ logo overlaps the gallery plug in, and the page sub-headings appear over the plugin or flash player, as they should. On my page however they don’t – any areas of the logo which stretch into the gallery plugin are not visible, as if they are behind it. Worse than that, the sub-page headings appear behind it too, so you can’t see them or click on them. I currently have 2 test sub pages under ‘About’, but only 1 is visible.

    I first spotted this after making several experimatal changesand adding my own art, but since seeing the issue I’ve deleted the theme and plug ins, erasing any changes I’ve made, and then reinstalled it all fresh. But even from a fresh install, with the default graphics, you can see it’s the same. The gallery plugin is ‘featured gallery plugin’ – the product page is here. I’ve tried this with the version packaged with the theme, and with the latest update, but it is the same with both versions, so it doesn’t seem to be plugin related.

    Please can you help me fix this?

    Thanks
    Mikey

  • I can’t see anything wrong with your theme when using Firefox so I assume you fixed the problem, yes?

    Hi Esmi, thanks for the response.

    Well, now I’m confused…I’m currently on another PC to my own. Looking at my page now, it seems to look fine, just as you’ve said, but I haven’t done anything to change it since posting here. I’m using IE8 now, but I was using the same browser on my own PC earlier. The only difference is that this machine is a laptop running vista, and my own is a desktop running XP. I guess the best thing I can do is install Firefox and Safari on my PC and see how the site looks in those. Strange… I’ll report back, thanks again ??

    I’m now on my PC at work, running XP SP2 and IE7… the fault is still present here! There’s actually parts of the pag showing up which I’ve remvoed over the weekend, but I think that’s becasue the page is being cached on the proxy server here at work… but still, this error is weird. Yet to go home and check my own PC again, but why would this have happened? I haven’t changed anything like z-index values, specifically because I don’t fully understand how to use them properly. The gallery plugin doesn’t even have a z-index attached to it in the CSS.

    It’s worrying that this issue, which effects navigation, can seem to appear or not appear on identical browsers and I don’t know why.

    Yes, in IE7 with XP the problems are there.
    Only the logo overlapping is also there in Firefox (does not look too bad).

    Hi Henkholland

    Thanks for that. Not great news, but at least I know I’m not seeing things!

    I’m back home now. I’ve cleared out all the temp IE junk… and the site actually looks as it should again on this machine! Obviously there is something not right, but I can’t begin to guess what. I’m waiting for the theme author to respond to a similar post on his support forum. Very very strange…

    Can more people please tell me how it looks in on their machines? Please compare the logo and navbar placing and funtionality on the theme demo page to that on my own.

    Cheers

    In the mean time you could try to get rid of the coding and css errors:
