Stopped working with latest version of Elementor

Hi, I noticed this issue when using transparent headers with the theme builder. If a header is applied to a page and has negative bottom margin or a position of absolute, while editing that page, the header will be overlapped by the page content.
I first thought this was a z-index issue with my plugin. After further testing I found that it’s not my plugin. Any header section with those attributes will be overlapped. A stock elementor header with negative bottom margin will do this without my plugin even installed.
I found a simple CSS fix to this and I hope Elementor addresses this quickly. But, for now, you can use this code.

/* ELEMENTOR HEADER OVERLAY IN EDITOR */
.elementor-location-header {
    z-index: 99 !important;
}

If they don’t fix it soon I can add this code to my plugin but I’d rather it just work correctly on their end.
Hope this helps!

Hi Robert,

Thank you for the reply. I’ve added the CSS and that’s fixed the issue. I can now edit the header from within the page editor.

Many thanks,

It stops working with Elementor version 3.55 and it doesn’t let me to work correctly any of the functions of Elementor either.
This one also gives me a warning of incompatibility.

@pichu2707 hi, sorry you’re having problems. Could you please start a new thread with more details about your problem? This way others experiencing similar issues can can find this information more easily. A big part of the forums is to be a tool to help others in the future. Thank you!
In the meantime, I’ll do some testing on a clean WordPress install with elementor 3.55.

@pichu2707 I just tested on Elementor 3.55 using the theme builder and just a section on the page and had no problems at all. Have you tried disabling the plugin, clearing cache, or regenerating Elementor CSS? Are you using Elementor Pro? Have you checked your console logs for errors? How exactly are you building the header and how is it set to display?

Hi @rwattner As soon as I update elementor I lose all the multilanguage switches as well as the images that should appear.
Having this problem prevents me from browsing the web because the mobile menu also fails.
If you want I will open a new thread, although I think that as it is with the new version of elementor 3.55 that is failing me, it might also work here.

@pichu2707 Yeah, here is fine since the topic matches and we’re already communicating.
Do you have a link to your site by chance?
Have you tried disabling my plugin to see if the problem persists?
I’m not sure exactly what multilingual switches you’re referring to. Also, which images aren’t appearing exactly?

The website is freeze-cast.com, where we have the WPMU.
The images that stop working are those that appear by JS for example the images of the page https://www.freeze-cast.com/en/other-parts/, although the buttons if they work.
Once I put the previous version of Elementor and elementor PRO doesn’t work either.
If you want we can even make a video call at any time so you can see the website live and how it fails when I update Elementor.

Does the site still break if Sticky Header Effects plugin is disabled/uninstalled?

Hi @rwattner:
I have disconnected it and I do not notice anything, I will let the project manager to see if she notices something and I will tell you, but now it seems that it will be more about elementor and elementor PRO, but now I do not know why the menus and different functionalities go away when I update.
Thank you very much for your help.

@pichu2707 I am only the developer for Sticky Header Effects plugin. If you are having problems with elementor free or pro updates then they would be the ones to contact. I can only help if my plugin is breaking the site, but it sounds like your problems are still happening even without my plugin. I don’t think my plugin is doing this, I did extensive testing with 3.55 and found no problems caused by my plugin.
I hope elementor can help you. Sorry I can’t help further

Thank you very much for everything, if there is anything or anything I will let you know.
I close the thread for my part
