    Nobitasan, how have you been?!

    After updating to the current version, my child theme is altered, changing (i) the height of my Menu, and (ii) the layout in every page from center positioned to left positioned for all the writings and some pictures, defeating the purpose of having a child theme. In any case, I hope that you can again come to my rescue, as before, instructing me how to restore to the the original layouts, but under the current version.

    Let me extend you my hearty thanks again for having enjoyed your most tasteful theme since 2014. I would like to continue this privilege, if you would help me rectify the dislocations created by the update. Again, with many thanks,

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi @wccesq

    I’m fine !

    Are you using caching plugin ?

    W3 Total Cache.

    Can you stop the plugin ? so I can see the actual theme output.

    Thank you.

    I just deactivated W3 Total Cache. Just let me know, if I have to do any other thing on my end.

    Hi, Nobitasan,

    Just found one more funny problem, i.e., in my mobile website, everything looks fine, EXCEPT all the contents in the Home page disappeared. But, those contents are still in the desktop Home page, except the alignment problems, as reported before. Hopefully you can help correct the problems, when you get a chance.

    Sorry to bother you at this hour. Many thanks, again…

    your site using WordPress 5.0.4

    In WordPress 5.0, a huge change has been made.

    This change is known to cause plug-ins not to work properly.

    For example,
    WP Easy Columns plugin is Last updated: 5years ago
    platinum-seo-pack is Last updated: 6 years ago

    These plug-ins are likely to cause an error.

    Please deactivate plugin.

    If you are using something another plug-in

    WordPress 5.0 was released on December 6, 2018.

    Plugins before the final update this time are likely to have potential problems.

    Deactivate those plugins too.

    Thank you

    Hi, good morning,

    First, many thanks for your efforts and diagnosis. As suggested, I have deleted the two plugins: Easy Columns and Platinum SEO Pack. Just let me know if I need to delete any other obsolete plugins causing the problems, and I will do so promptly.

    In any case, please use your own pace as your schedule permits. I am sorry for having caused you any inconvenience. There is absolutely no need to rush.

    Again, with many thanks…

    about home page ‘Error 404 – Not Found’

    Customize / Homepage Settings / A static page

    Are the items on homepage blank?

    If you set homepage ‘Visibility: Private’ after specifying homepage, when you log out and view a blog,

    Error 404-Not Found is displayed.

    This does not seem to be a problem with the theme.
    Even with the default theme such as twentynineteen, Error 404-Not Found is displayed.

    Please Set it to Visibility: Public in the post editor.

    You can not set Private post as your home page

    (i) the height of my Menu, and (ii) the layout in every page from center positioned to left positioned

    When I check the site, it looks like it is displayed correctly for me.

    Thank you.

    HI,
    Could my child-theme have created the problems?
    1. On the scroll to to to css code, I used your code and nothing happened. So for the time being I reinstalled the old one.
    2. On the Home page,could you give me a more detailed instructions step-by-step, because I followed yours and got no results-I might have made my mistakes. All the other pages are still left-positioned, not centered as before.
    3. On the Menu. the words in each box is not centered, but left-aligned. Also there is an overlap between the Home and the one (Word) next to it.Can you help?
    You may check the menu layout in my other website for reference, because it uses your Raindrop them beautifully. https://www.rowlandassociation.com.
    Again, sorry for troubles, and with many many thanks…

    Hi,

    just tried reinstalling the wp easy columns back, and discovered the reappearances of the home page information, but still left positioned, the same as the remaining pages.

    Also, the boxes for each section of the menu are too big. May get the boxes into smaller ones, with the words centered, as opposed to being left-aligned now?

    Is there any code that I can use to override the easy columns so that the mandates given by the code are being listened by the web pages?

    Thanks…

    Hi,

    After comparing my other website using the same Raindrops theme that has encountered no such problems, I discovered that the other remains at 1.266, while this one was recently upgraded to 1.534. Maybe this is the problem. So I withhold upgrading the other to 1.534 until this one is resolved. The other is https://www.rowlandassociation.com. If you have time, you may want to compare these two and find out the problems.

    Also, if I deleted Easy Columns for RA, the Home page became completely mixed up. But, the moment I re-installed the EC plugin, the Home page was restored to the normal condition. Just some thoughts for your consideration. Many thanks, again,…

    As you scroll, you will see an arrow at the top right of the top bar. That is the button to scroll top page.

    The following CSS is for moving the position of this arrow to the lower right of the page.

    #page-top span {
        top: auto;
        bottom: -85vh;

    Hi, Nobitasan,
    First, thank you very very much for solving all my problems for this website.
    I am elated to share with you how happy I am after updating the current 1.535, because everything is restored to the original layouts. I also fine-tuned the Menu according to your instructions to my satisfaction.
    In addition, I notice that the second picture has an new feature, i.e, when hover over thew picture, the picture has a veil overlay, making the picture more mysterious. I wonder if you teach me how to add such feature to other pictures if I choose to do so. I like this new feature very much and thank you very much.
    One more thing, if you think I should update my RA website to 1.535, just let me know, because I hate to increase my trouble to you given your busy schedule.
    All my problems for this thread is fully resolved, except my additional request for RA.
