WordPress site has issues

There is CSS <style type="text/css" id="simple-css-output"> injected in HTML header, and in it containing this bit

#site-navigation .dropdown-menu a {
    font-weight: 1000;
    font-size: 15px;
}

So obviously the bold menu text is put there via Simple CSS plugin (guessing from the id name).

and my slider button loads ridiculously slowly too.

For the slow animation time of button in slider, it should be adjustable in theme option (or slider plugin setting).

Thanks for your reply.

Simple CSS only contains code for contact form 7 on my site. So I’m not sure what this means below.

<style type=”text/css” id=”simple-css-output”>

As for slider button, it’s using Layer Slider and increasing button speed does nothing ??

Some code is incorrect somewhere. Usually something like a missing piece of code makes this kind of error.

The relevant CSS is attributed to “vc_shortcodes-custom-css”, so I imagine something about Visual Composer shortcode CSS.

Slider interaction seems OK, but it’s not auto rotating at all AFAICT. There are no JS errors, so apparently a setting needs to be flipped.

Looking closely in simple-css-output I noticed there is this missing closing } tag at the very end of custom CSS, this might cause the font-weight and button transition issue because browser might not be able to read and process ALL the CSS correctly.

Visit this page and click on Direct Input tab
https://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/

Copy and paste all your custom CSS code in there to validate and then fix the error until it validate (ignore small warning if have any).

How do I access that piece of code? In the Editor?

I can’t see it in WP backend.

I’ve added the missing } at the end of simple css code and nothings changed ??

Any advice on how to do this? Happy to give my login for you to fix if possible? ??

I’m not a coder at heart.

Using Chrome browser, right click and view source, and look inside <style type="text/css" id="simple-css-output">

there is this

</style><noscript><style type="text/css"> .wpb_animate_when_almost_visible { opacity: 1; }</style></noscript><style type="text/css" data-type="wpex-css" id="wpex-css">/*ACCENT COLOR*/

right in the middle of CSS code.

Obviously it will get parse error and cause problem.

Make a backup copy of your custom CSS and save it somewhere, then delete everything in it, load the site without this Custom CSS and see how it goes.

I guess disabling the CSS plugin will do the same thing (it will keep the code but not loaded), but anyway make a backup of the custom CSS so that there is no work lost.

Ok thanks. I’ll search through the CSS and find what you mention. Then add the piece that’s missing

I’ve added the missing ‘}’ but it’s made difference.

How do I alter code for Visual Composer?

This is so frustrating!!!

Can anyone help please?!

There must be a piece of code that’s got removed when using Better Search Replace plugin as it happened straight after using it.

Hi Steve, you can always contact your hosting provider and ask them to help restore the site to its previous stage. All (or most) hosting providers keep backup available for this kind of situation.

@steve25833 – You offered:

I’m sorry, I cannot do that. Please don’t offer logins to anyone in these forums. For your own safety as well as to protect others from potential liability, you shouldn’t provide login credentials to anyone you don’t know and trust, even outside these forums. Offering or asking for logins is against our forum guidelines for this reason. I probably seem to be nitpicking at you about rules, like no signature lines and now this. I get that it’s all in innocence, that you simply didn’t know. I appreciate your understanding of the need.

It looks like you managed to resolve the bold menu text one way or another. If you need further help let us know.

I checked using Fast or Slow and can confirm that it is still loading slowly. Running a report there (linked to above) can help you figure out what to do to speed things up. Oddly enough it shows that the site loads great in Sweden, France, England, and Ireland but poorly for the other locations Fast or Slow checks from.
