@esmi,
thanks for the reply and extremely sorry for delayed response from my side. I just didn’t realise that my query was answered.
Anyways, I deactivated all the plugins and changed to default theme and problem didn’t replicate. So, I started undoing the changes (plugin and theme) one by one and this time when everything was back to my original settings, surprisingly I did not face the problem. I am not sure what did the trick here as I am no expert but it any case solved my problem.
Thanks a ton.
