Hi Sahil,

I have just logged out from working on the website and noticed that the problem – or at least part of it – persists. The left side of the grid now aligns correctly but the right column is still displaced.

I must have been looking at it while still logged in after popping in the CSS.

Hi Sahil,

I am truly grateful to you for that. Thank you.

But I am curious. Where did the extra pixels come from? Surely not from core WordPress? The post grid is not very new, and I would have thought that an issue of that kind would have been dealt with by now?

Thank you for your comments.

The reason my nav bar is a reusable block is that, as a part of the header, it cannot be independently sticky. That was the problem that I had with the theme in the first place.

I certainly did wrap my nav bar in the Greenshift ‘Container’ but, as I explained, it would not align with the main body of the site, and there was no setting to achieve that. So I had to wrap it in a group.

However, as explained earlier in the thread, as a sticky independent reusable block it works perfectly and a tiny bit of css now keeps it in front of the other content.

It may interest you to know that I have removed the Greenshift plugin for a number of reasons; not least, that it changed the WP UI in a way that prevented me from accessing the templates list. Too intrusive by far!

Thank you for your responses to my questions.

I have just realised that I posted this in the wrong place. It was intended as a general WP 6 question. Sorry guys.

On your recommendation, I gave Greenshift a try. The container block does have a setting for z-index, so I thought I would try it on my shy navigation issue.

The block has no setting to align it to the main framework of my site so I had to put the container – containing my reusable block nav nested elements – into a group wrapper, like a Russian Doll, in order to locate it. I set the z-index to a selection of Very Large Numbers but it failed to bring forward my shy navigation. I have now, at last, managed to extricate the nav.

Using the Google developers tool I edited the css to bring the nav forward successfully in the live situation, but my ‘additional css’ attempt failed. It’s not going well.

Thanks for the response.
What I wanted is for the nav bar only to be sticky. I have removed it from the header and it behaves as expected inside a sticky container. I made it a template part but it lost its properties so I made it a reusable block, which works fine.

Thanks for the Greenshift suggestion – I will have a read of your ‘design options’ link later – but I was hoping to just use a bit of ‘additional css’. My previous attempts came to nought for the reasons you gave above but would it not work now if I can identify a suitable selector?

Thanks again for a great theme.

For anyone else finding this who has had an issue with the Adsense code, I enclosed it in a group container in order to style it with a faint background colour and the problem went away.

No, me neither!

The other issues remain.

Update.
So now the nav has again stopped working on mobiles. The only thing I could think that I had done was to install the Adsense code. Sure enough, after removal of the code, the mobile nav is OK again. Doh!

The nav bar still scrolls off the page.

I have now made a new header and the navigation works as expected – including on mobile. However, using the advanced controls, I am unable to make the nav bar row sticky. The option is offered and taken but it has no effect.

The issue of the submenu hiding under content images remains – at least most of the time. The problem mysteriously went away for about half a minute without any prompting, but then returned.

I have now made a new header and the nav works as expected. Thanks.

Thank you for drawing my attention to the advanced settings. This is a seriously good theme. I am VERY IMPRESSED. I even discovered that I could separately set my nav row to be sticky, which is what I have wanted all along.
However, for me, none of it seems to work, and now, out of the blue, my nav drop-down is hiding behind images on the home page and archive templates (not single post). I have found the z-index controls, but they seem to have no effect.
Nothing is sticky on the home page, whatever I do with the advanced controls.
Most of my problems seem to be associated with the nav bar. Is it possible that I have damaged the theme when I customised the header? Perhaps I should re-make it from scratch?
I am grateful to you for your attention and thank you very much for this excellent theme.

I want to start a new thread, but I can’t find a ‘new post’ link/button. Help!

I am now receiving the emails but over an hour late so expired. I shall contact hosting co.

Hello Agapi,

OK, thanks for that.
