White/blank sheet in front of my home page picture

  • Hi guys

    Not sure how many starters have watched Tyler Moore’s How to build a website with WordPress 2015 on Youtube.

    I installed 4 plugins, Black Studio TinyMCE Widget, Page Builder by SiteOrigin, SiteOrigin Widgets Bundle, and Spacer, and I have been trying to replicate the effect of having a whole picture on Home page.

    I inserted the picture by editing the Row Styles in visual editor, and then added Spacer directly in visual editor. Somehow, instead of having a beautiful picture displayed on the page, I ended up with a white/bank sheet in the middle of home page(footer and header were not effected), and the picture was displayed underneath the white sheet. I could only see 20 px of the picture on either side of home page.

    I tried to type in something in visual editor, and the text appeared on the white sheet, which means the white sheet is actually from visual editor.

    Is there any way to show the whole picture without having the blank sheet on top of it? Any advice is much appreciated.

    Regards

    Guan

  • I didn’t see the video you are talking about, but I think it could be a CSS matter. Maybe your theme’s stylesheet forces a white background?
    If you post a link to your website it would be easier to help you.

    Hi Marco,

    Thanks for the reply. The website is https://www.broadlingual.com/home-3

    I am thinking maybe the spacer plugin is not compatible with wordpress 4.3

    It looks like there’s an embedded stylesheet which forces the background of <p> elements to be white. It seems it’s added by the Easy Google Fonts plugin, so you may try to disable that plugin, or alternatively not to force a background color.

    Hi Marco

    Thanks a lot for your reply. Yes, when google fonts plugin was disabled, the white sheet was gone.

    I am trying to figure out what can be done to remove the embedded style sheet, or in your words, not to force a background colour?

    Your time and expertise are much appreciated.

    The other thread you mentioned is not relevant in your case.
    I think you should change the settings of Easy Google Fonts and set a transparent background.
    For assistance, I would recommend to ask in Easy Google Fonts support forum.
