Divi & AO – Images “inherited” to other pages

  • Resolved Chris

    On the startpage the first textbox – which is also the first element of the whole site – contains a background image.

    This image is “inherited” in some way to every first (!) textbox included to any page I create on this website.
    But this is not only the case with this website but with others I created the same way, too.

    Elegantthemes tells me AO was the “bad boy” causing this trouble.

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

    I honestly don’t see how AO could cause that Christian … Can you link to a site where this is happening so I can investigate?

    I’m of the same opinion like you… But Elegantthemes did some tests on my site and they said so.

    What did I do?

    I inserted a certain background image to the very first element of my website at the startpage [ redundant link removed ]

    After that I build the pages:
    /referenzen/ , /kontakt/ and /faq/

    Then the image I had inserted in the named textbox suddenly appeared at the pages /referenzen, kontakt/ and faq/.

    When I started to investigate the problem I changed the background image at the startpage to the one you can see there now.

    But the one I first put in stayed at the pages with the error!!!
    And no, I didn’t use a “duplicate page”-plugin to build the other pages.

    Now it is the case, that I sometimes have this “inheriting-effect” and sometimes not.

    Today I built this: /project/fotoshooting-am-strand-familie-kopie/

    To test the whole thing I inserted a textbox only containing a single dot “.”.

    And it happens again…

    Well, when you disable AO on that page (adding ?ao_noptimize=1 to the URL), the background image is still there;

    only difference; it’s not referenced from the file with aggregated CSS, but from the inline CSS (which I presume is added by .. Divi builder).

    So back to ET I suppose? ??

    Err, no Sir,… ?? I think adding the string to the url solves it… please compare:

    /kontakt/
    and
    /kontakt/?ao_noptimize=1

    Unfortunately I couldn’t manage to paste a screenshot here in this thread, just bc I don’t know how to do that… *shame-on-me*

    In the first link you should see a marvelous couple behind the text and in the second one only the text…

    arrrgggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg, you’re right … ??

    I confirm and I see what is happening; this is from the “above the fold CSS” actually. Did you add that manually or are you using the criticalcss.com integration?

    Manually… ??

    In the meantime I try to use a workaround: inserting an “empty” Background Image, so the “inherited” one is “overwritten”…

    well, the better approach might be to tweak your “above the fold CSS” not to add background-images that are not applicable to all pages?

    Ok, thx. I’ll forward this to my collegue doing the coding-thing to give it a try…
