“Skip to the content” button Stuck at Top of Page

FYI: I changed themes on page to avoid this issue (so it won’t be visible upon visiting).

The page you posted (https://credituniongeek.com) doesn’t look like it’s using the Hemingway theme right now. I’m not seeing what you see. You are posting in the Hemingway support area so I’m assuming you are referencing updates to the Hemingway theme that just came out. For what it’s worth, I updated my site to the latest update of Hemingway today and it’s working fine without showing anything like you describe. Sorry I can’t be more helpful.

Update: After I posted my message I saw your update about changing themes. Could you set it back for a bit so I can see what you see? I’m wondering if it’s a possible issue with a plugin. I also want to see where the code is being inserted. Thx!

Hi @joseph_winn,

The latest version of Hemingway adds a skip link, which are required for themes on www.remarpro.com for accessibility reasons. It’s only visible when focused.

If you’re using a cache plugin, you might need to empty the cache for the styles added in the latest version of the theme to be served to your visitors.

Yes, as I mentioned, I switched themes to avoid the issue. Happy to switch back for troubleshooting.

Oh good, Anders is responding. I’m bowing out! He is aware of what’s happening. Thanks Anders!

I’ve emptied the cache multiple times. Switched back to Hemingway (after deleting and reinstalling it). Button is visible now for me.

Thanks @kwbrayton for your help!

Joe, I wasn’t aware of skip links until now – always learning something new! I just retested the site I maintain and it seems to be working fine for me. I don’t see the skip link text unless I actually start tabbing my way through the site. If interested, you can see it it action here: https://oakvilechurch.org I’d be curious to know if my pages work for you as well. Or do you see the “Skip to the content” link on your end?

Joe, I’m looking at your sight with the Hemingway theme and I actually do not see the Skip to Content until I tab to that link. On my end, it’s working as expected.

Ok, so I discovered if I fully disable LiteSpeed Cache, the button disappears. But the cache (all aspects have been fully emptied) seems to keep it visible (at least for me).

PS – @kwbrayton, your site looks totally fine and clean!

@joseph_winn Might be something cached in your web browser but I don’t know enough about that to know for sure. I don’t use any caching plugins myself.

Weird, it seems to now be gone, both when logged in and out. However, when visiting the site in Firefox, it still displays, though not in Safari (on computer or iPhone).

@joseph_winn Your site (and mine) are working fine on my computer using Firefox. Also fine on Brave (built on Chromium).

So strange. It must be some data stuck in the browser cache (even though I’ve emptied it). GT Metrix test of the site doesn’t see the button, either. If no one besides that one browser can see it, I’ll say that the system “fixed” itself through some combination of caches, file checks, and reinstalls.

Thanks for the assists.
