Advanced Accordion Block and Select Social Icons Widget & Block are the only plugins I have installed — when I made my original post, however, there were no plugins installed. I had just updated WordPress, installed the theme and started playing around when I posted.

good news is that the code works great and the site is looking as I want it to. bad news is I modified the theme file, for the time being, to make it work (too lazy to make a child theme while I figure this out, haha).

just found this article, though, which seems to explain what I am experiencing and solution 1 worked for me! https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-fix-missing-theme-customizer-in-wordpress-admin/ I manually entered the URL kristinabaines.com/wp-admin/customize.php into my browser and the customizer appeared. it seems I had correctly assumed the editor replaced the customizer in the admin interface and it seems to be related to which themes were primed for the possibility of the beta editor, which, in the end, I think, is actually a good thing about this theme. I am going to go ahead and remove the code from the theme file and put it in the customizer, but I’ll save it somewhere just in case lol who knows how it will deprecate..

I suppose for my next trick, I will need to figure out how to get the beta editor to add to the style sheet because I don’t really need the customizer otherwise.

thanks so much, Adam!

I am just getting acquainted with WordPress 6 (and am barely acquainted since the integration of blocks, to be honest) so forgive me for being slow on the uptake here..

I did play around with the advanced custom css class when I read up on sticky elements and it seemed like it was going to be so easy lol but couldn’t get it to stick, so to speak, which is when I decided to post here. I had added the classes and their stylings through the block editor advanced custom area and not just the class names, so makes sense why that didn’t work — the beta version of Editor has replaced Appearance > Customization (which is not there on this install, see image linked below), is there another way to find access to contribute to the style sheet through the Editor?

really appreciate your help, thank you ??

I have been using this theme for gosh nearly 10 years?? this is the first time I have felt the developers were shady! we shouldn’t have to upgrade to pro to find buried code and I understand people have to live, but this is an open source community and people who engage with it should have to uphold better principles. mica123’s workaround didn’t work for me, but gave me the foundation for my own temp fix.

my workaround:

.footer-layouts.copyright a {
display: none;
}

.footer-layouts.copyright span {
display: none;
}

this removes the year and copyright as well, unfortunately, so I just put the ?2021 before my org name in the Customization > Footer Bar > Copyright HTML. I will have to remember to update this every year because the html5 year script isn’t processed properly through the Customization framework. if y’all have ideas about that, let me know!

it was an issue with my theme. I downgraded it and they’ve since fixed the problem, so I am all current again ?? thanks so much for your attention!

since update- floating social bar, jetpack carousel and mosaic all funky.. afraid to look further.

anyone have the older version so I can downgrade?

have you tried removing the OG tags via your functions.php?

you would add this:

remove_action( ‘wp_head’, ‘jetpack_og_tags’ );

a little checkbox somewhere in Jetpack to disable opengraph would be amazing! a lot of us use various OG/SEO tools and the doubling up causes a lot of conflicts.

try going into your settings and changing the blog url to the directory that wordpress is installed, and not the direct link to the blog itself.

worked for me.

this thread has brought an end to my frustration- using word press photo album and lightbox on wpmu is finally simple! thanks!
