I randomly thought to try it the ‘Font Awesome 5 Free’ way instead of ‘Font Awesome\ 5 Free’ and it works…which is odd, before it wouldn’t let me save without the \ though I can’t remember what the error said. Either way, problem solved ??

I’m having this same issue on two sites (using identical code)
lifewithgremlins.com and Ketosee.com

/* Add a magnifying glass in front of search box*/
.my-nav-menu-search .search-form:before {
font-family: 'Font Awesome\ 5 Free';
content: '\f002';
position: absolute;
font-size: 19px;
font-weight: 900;
top: 5px;
left: 5px;
}

I have double checked and Font Awesome is enabled in advanced settings. Where am I going wrong?

That only works if you’re using the default wordpress commenting system. You have to turn off jetpack comments, which I prefer because it allows both anonymous posters and those who want to sign in via social media. I ended up just leaving it. I’ll have to manually add subscribers from my jetpack subscriptions to mailchimp and them delete them, but that seems to be the only way to get the best of both plugins so to speak.

I ended up deactivating as I couldn’t figure it out. I haven’t been able to find a plugin for polls yet that functions with caching.

More interesting, I just tried deactivating the poll itself, theme page is back.

To possibly help with trouble shooting I’ve re-added the poll to the page it was placed on orginally here: https://www.lifewithgremlins.com/poll-did-you-have-bleeding-while-pregnant/

Yay! that was it, oddly they were not the same scripts and for an entirely different theme I used last year, but clearing the old theme scripts out eliminated the issue.

Thank you.

I add this in the customzr support forum as well and it was resolved there, but for anyone else having trouble figuring this issue out here were their instructions (which did work and was super easy)

“Hello Amanda,
that snippet let’s you display the search in the menu. So when you have a side menu it will display it there.
But there’s a simple trick you can use to display it in the header.
Follow these simple steps:
1) Create a dummy menu in Appearance -> Menus, and set it as secondary menu.
No matter what you put in it, we’ll not display it.
2) Go in Appearance -> Customize -> Header -> Navigation Menus. And check “Display a secondary(horizontal) menu in the header”. If not already set set the “dummy” menu as secondary menu
3) Under: “Choose a mobile devices (responsive) behaviour for the secondary menu.”
choose: “Display in the header”.
4) In the snippet you linked make these basic changes:
– Replace, in the following instruction, ‘main’ with ‘secondary’
if( !($args->theme_location == ‘main’) )

So we say to put the search in the secondary menu.

– Make the following instruction:
return $items . ‘<li class=”my-nav-menu-search”>’ . get_search_form(false) . ”;
become:
return ‘<li class=”my-nav-menu-search”>’ . get_search_form(false) . ”;
(so basically remove $items .)
Here we said to display just the search in the secondary menus.

We’re almost there:
5) In the css, before:
@media (max-width: 979px){
add this:

.tc-second-menu-on .nav-collapse {
  width: auto;
  clear: none;
  top: 5px;
  float: right;
  margin-right: 5px;
}
.sticky-enabled .tc-second-menu-on .nav-collapse { top: 7px; }

.tc-second-menu-on .nav-collapse {
  width: auto;
  clear: none;
  top: 5px;
  float: right;
  margin-right: 5px;
}
.sticky-enabled .tc-second-menu-on .nav-collapse { top: 7px; }

6) In the css, inside the media query, after this: .navbar .nav {
width: auto;
}
add this:
.tc-second-menu-on .nav-collapse {
top: 10px;
}
.tc-second-menu-on .nav-collapse {
top: 10px;
}`
`
And there we are.

Hope this helps.”;/”

I fixed the color issue (made pic transparent. Still haven’t figured out the search part

Update: I managed to get a few people with smart phones to look, and it is indeed not just a mobile tester error, the inconsistency does occur on actual mobile devices. ??

after poking around on the forum here it seemed “try the old way” was a common recommendation, so I tried that. It seems more consistent, but still doesn’t always work.

Seconded. The new version is slow to load (half the time the pageview map doesn’t load at all and I have to refresh) and I liked the top referrers, search queries, etc. I’d like the option to add them back, as it appears that was something removed in the update.

Awesome! Thank you for the great plug in ??

How do you downgrade to the older version?

Update: BTW, setting a featured facebook picture did not allow pinterest to work, so atm, all I could do was set a default pinterest image. Being pinterest users often pin things with cool pictures so to speak, it makes no sense for every page on different topics to have the same picture. ??
