I updated the plugin and my site broke.

Apologies for the trouble bitsfair. Your issue is actually related to a recent update to Inkblot (the theme). I’m not exactly sure what’s causing it, but at least one other person has reported a similar issue. Can you send me an email at [email protected]?

Thanks to bitsfair I’ve figured out what the issue is: a stupid mistake on my part in the recent update to the Inkblot theme. I’ve corrected the issue (and will submit the update to the theme directory soon), but if you’re experiencing a similar issue find line 43 in Inkblot’s header.php file:

'walker' => new Inkblot_Walker_Menu_Dropdown

and change it to:

'walker' => new Inkblot_Walker_Nav_Dropdown

and that should correct the error.

For some reason, when I add a site title and a tagline, it displays at the top, even when I have the checkbox to display it unchecked. And when I don’t add a title/tagline at all, just some empty space displays where it should be, adding weird padding between the top of the page and the header image.

Also, the code I was using to have the top menu not display (I just had a text widget with my custom buttons there) doesn’t work? It was

#header nav li:hover > ul {
        display: none;
}

but now it doesn’t do anything at all.

The first one looks like another bug; I’ve corrected it on GitHub.

For the second, try replacing #header with .banner.

I just put

.banner {
        display: none;
}

in my custom css and replaced that whole area with a widget, which solved all my problems in one go, haha.

Anyhow, my site’s back to looking the way it did before the update, so the problem’s been solved!

That works! Making the header area widgetized might be something to look into for a future update…
