Hi Predrag,
I added the custom CSS to the site. Please let me know if it fixed the search icon width on smaller screens. I couldn’t replicate that particular issue.

I cleared my cache again and I am still having the problem with the “Subscribe” popup and the “New? Start Here” slide-in not working on mobile.

Thanks,
Joni

Hi Dimitris,
Thank you for your response on this issue!
I cleared the browser cache on my iPhone 7 Plus, and unfortunately I’m still seeing the issue. I’m also seeing the same issues when testing on an iPhone 7 and an iPhone 6. However, the popup and slide-in are working on my laptop and tablet.

Here are my test results on the iPhone 7 Plus in Safari and Chrome:

On frugalthumb.com, or frugalthumb.com/subscribe –> click Subscribe –> FAIL: links to frugalthumb.com/subscribe instead of showing popup
On frugalthumb.com, or frugalthumb.com/subscribe –> click New? Start Here –> SUCCESS: shows slide-in

On frugalthumb.com/blog, frugalthumb.com/about, or frugalthumb.com/calendar –> click Subscribe –> FAIL: links to frugalthumb.com/subscribe instead of showing popup
On frugalthumb.com/blog, frugalthumb.com/about, or frugalthumb.com/calendar –> click New? Start Here –> FAIL: links to frugalthumb.com/# instead of showing slide-in

(Edge on the iPhone 7 Plus had different results/success in a few more scenarios, but still not working everywhere it should.)
All three browsers are updated with the latest versions on the phone.

Do you have any more ideas of what else I could try to get these hustle popups and slide-ins working on older phone operation systems?

Also worth noting is that I have a second slide-in that is working everywhere and it’s on a time delay (rather than a link to click).

Prathamesh,
That did the trick.
Thank you so much!

Thanks for the link, Alex27. My stylesheet is working now. That little @import tip was not mentioned in the YouTube video I watched on making child themes…
Anyway, I’ve decided to not worry about the flickering hover problem for now as it works in every type of browser on every machine I have except for one. Maybe it’s a Windows 8 thing…
Thanks again for your help!

Alex27,
I don’t have the software required to get a screenshot with my mouse pointer, but basically, when I hover over the links under the logo/site title, the link flashes blue and immediately goes back to white and stays white, instead of staying blue as long as I’m hovering over the text. Does that make more sense?
And thanks for the tip on the stylesheet. I’ve tried only including my changes in the css file before, but then the styles from the parent theme aren’t applied and the site looks like a mess. I tried again tonight with the same results. Is there something I’m not doing that is required for this to work? I want to benefit from future updates…

If I only have the following in my child style.css, the site doesn’t get any of the parent styles and looks like a mess:

With your help and a few of the other support posts, I think I have everything working with my child theme now! And I did it without upgrading the theme to 1.3.2 (which I plan to do tonight after I make a backup of everything–that’ll be the true child theme test)!

There were a few key problems that I had to fix:
1) I had my home page set up to display static page instead of latest posts. I made this change and re-applied my child theme to see if that’s all I had to do to get the home page to display correctly. It wasn’t. So, next, I took a closer look at the Theme Options settings.
2) Apparently, as soon as I apply my child theme, many of the Theme Options settings are reset to the default values–a fact I hadn’t noticed before. Most serious option that was reset? “Enable Custom Home Page” was set to “No.” As soon as I saved “Yes,” my home page problems were starting to get better. The slider and portfolio appeared!
3) I also had to redo other Theme Options settings like the home page callout section, the color scheme, portfolio intro text, and social media phone number.

Those were the main changes that I had to make, and the most exciting part is that I am now using my child theme and everything looks as it should!
Thanks for all your help.

Alex27, no, the Theme Options section doesn’t disappear–just nothing I set up in that section works. I was looking at some more recent posts in the support that you’ve been answering, and maybe my problem is that I have an old version of the corpo theme paired with the most recent toolkit?
I’m using: theme version 1.2
with toolkit version: 1.5

I was trying to get my child theme to work before I upgraded the theme…
Do you think I should backup my files and try upgrading the theme?
Thank you for your help!

Thanks to everyone for your help! And alex27 is right–my problem is that I didn’t create a child theme right from the get-go. Now I’m trying to go back and figure out everything I changed and make a child theme with it. I think I actually have the child theme created correctly now (I hope), but now I’m struggling to make my home page look like it did previously when I had configured it with the corpo theme and not my corpo child theme. As examples, I don’t know how to make the slider display, or how to make the portfolio display, or even how to set the color scheme to “blue” on the entire site… Is there some special code to paste into the home page like with the special corpo buttons? Pardon my ignorance.
