Hi @kbat82

I did fix it. We don’t want to change the functionality of the theme with regards to the front-page or the dynamic function of the navigation.
I changed the code in the header-image file rather than replace it as you suggested and the metaslider instructions tell you to do. I kept the custom_header_markup and added the echo out the shortcode.

     <?php the_custom_header_markup(); 
	      {
		   echo do_shortcode('[metaslider id="448"]');}

		?>

Thank you for taking the time to help me!

Hi @kbat82
thanks for the code. It does change the dynamic slide up of the links which is what is attractive about the twentyseventeen theme. Now when you click on the menu links the user can’t see new page. So it looks like nothing has happened. When you scroll down you see you are on a new page.

You can see the site live now @kbat82

Hi @kbat82
Doesn’t look like I can use that support form since I don’t have a Purchase id. I’m using the free version.

Hi @kbat82
Thank you. I will message you on metaslider’s support. The website is not ready to go live since some of the images still need to be purchased.
very much appreciate your help.
Catherine

Sorry for the delay @kbat82
Yes, that is what I did originally and everything from Metaslider said that was the correct file.
But I still get just the background color and no image.
Do you think it might be a css issue?
thank you for your help!

Hi @kbat82,
Thank you for replying
The site is under construction.

Here’s a link to the screen shot. The images need to run behind the logo.

The landing page is here. With the metaslider working

If you link to the twentyseventeen theme you will see what I mean when you click on a top menu item.

Hi Hannah,
Thank you for your support. It’s nice to know I am not alone. Changing the theme isn’t an option right now. I will just have to keep on sleuthing until I get to the bottom of it. But your counsel is pointing me in the right direction. The only plugin loading Select2 is woocommerce on the page. The impediment seems to be a result of this error: Bootstrap’s JavaScript requires jQuery, which the console highlighted for me because Bootstrap 3.3.7 is loading from the child theme functions file. I am going to chase this one down the rabbit hole and see where it leads me. May be it’s the order of the scripts.

Hi Hannah,
Thank you for your response.
Yes, I do believe it is a conflict. And thank you for recommending Health Check. I did discover it earlier and used it. Wow what a great plugin to use on a live site. I knew from setting wp_debug to true in the wp_config file that one plugin was running a depreciated constructor but I didn’t know which one and Health Check spotted it in the plugin WooCommerce All Discounts Lite. Anyhow once deactivated that took care of the debug alert but not the issue with the dropdowns.
I am not the original developer of the site. It is built on a Genesis framework. I believe the conflict is with Bootstrap and select2. When I upgraded the woocommerce plugin and database, styling was lost on all the sidebar search and filter widgets – but they still worked; styling remain on all the woocommerce widgets but the dropdowns stopped working. The child theme functions file enqueue Bootstrap 3.3.7. I read that select2 does not function properly when used inside a bootstrap modal. This is mentioned as a common problem on the select2 website.
https://select2.org/troubleshooting/common-problems
However, I am not sure how to troubleshoot this without causing other issues on a live site. Maybe it is a conflict with the libraries. The child theme header calls for jquery.slick 1.6.0 but that is for the front slider. When I update the slider styling is lost on it as well.
So I wonder if outdated libraries are conflicting and being called first.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi Matt
I did what your requested four days ago but haven’t heard back from you. Can you let me know what is going on.
Thank you.

Thank jnorell. much appreciated that you responded. however, I am aware of the options. They are just rendering twice, one on top of the other.

Will do.
Thanks!

Anyone know why this might be happening. Rendering twice. I had to turn it off on categories. Any thoughts?

Yes Thank YOU!! Very much appreciated.

Thank you for the help. The file that the div is built in, addthis/addthis_social_widget.php, doesn’t have the
tag in it. Can you point me to the file that I should correct. Sorry for not understanding where this should go.
thanks!
