Sorry about that! I did add the script to the functions.php but did it through cPanel. The theme editor is enabled in WordPress now, if you could please take a look. Thanks.

Thank you for the revision, but it didn’t work. Below is the functions.php with the revision included. I removed everything except what you provided and it didn’t make a difference.

Forgot to mention, the only plugin that is in use that might cause a conflict with the masonry would be Molongui Authorship. I don’t know much about that plugin. Have you heard anything about it that might be considered a problem?

Thank you for the tips for helping us sort out the widget and logo positioning. It is working well again.

That did the trick. My thanks to both of you!

Thank you @Guenni007 and @Ismael! You both have been a big help. The navbar search icon field is showing the SVG icon again. We can close this ticket now.

Ismael,
Thank you for the CSS advice. That works great for the home page search widget below the layerslider. However, it also applies to the avia menu search bar icon. I don’t mind that the SVG default icon isn’t there, but when I try to move the search icon to the left of the search box it affects the search widget on the home page. I’ve included a link to a screenshot of the search icon in the nav bar and how it is displayed in the text input area. If we change it then it affects the search widget icon further down on the home page. Can you advise on how to adjust the nav menu search box so the icon is to the left of the input field, but without affecting the search widget further down on the home page? We had it working separately before this issue arose. Thanks.

The theme has been updated to 7.1 but the problem still persists. Any other suggestions?

And I just realized the search icon on the nav menu while now showing is not displaying the search box when selected. Can you check on that as well?

@Guenni007, thank you for your advice on the jQuery. I’ve updated the functions.php file per your suggestion and all appears to be in working order.

I think we are good for now. Feel free to close this topic. Thanks again!

Rikard,
Thank you for your response. I reread what I wrote and I don’t think I explained the issue very clearly.
If you scroll down on the page and click on the red ‘load more’ button a dark overlay appears on the screen as if the next few rows of masonry are loading, however nothing happens. The new rows don’t load and the page seems to be stuck with the dark overlay and nothing else happening.
If you could please try to click on the load more you may have the same experience. I’ve tried Chrome, Edge and Firefox with the same result — the rows don’t load.

Mike,
Thank you for your reply and for your help. Your suggestion worked great for that page, but we are using the widget ion other pages as well. I’ve added the following to the CSS:

.page-id-452 #av_section_3 {
z-index: 0;
position: relative;
}
.page-id-717 #av_section_1 {
z-index: 0;
position: relative;
}

Page id 452 worked as you recommended. Page id 717 the calendar still appears behind the content below it even though the widget is the same and the section id # was adjusted in the css. I’ve added the page links in private content for you to see.

Since we are using this widget on different pages, might you have a suggestion that would be more ‘global’? Thanks, again!

Thank you, Yigit. I appreciate you checking into LayerSlider and will watch for the next release of Enfold with LayerSlider 7.7.11 applied.
Any idea if the latest release of WordPress 6.3 will have any bearing on this? I’m guessing not, but thought I’d ask anyway.

Oops! I gave you the wrong link in Private Data. Let me try that again.
