main menu link advanced styling broken after theme update

Thanks for the quick response.
Yes of course, here it is in private content.

Hi Rikard,
I have now updated to 4.3.2 but still this feature won’t work, the symptoms i’m experiencing have not changed.
Are you still on the case to help resolve this ?
Thanks in advance

Hi Rikard,
Ok., I’m at a loss now I have tried everything you suggested but nothing works. In fact now the entire “advanced styling” options has ceased to work altogether. I’ve tried changing a number of elements as a test such as the small menu bar, nav on hover, H titles colours but nothing gets implemented at all – whereas before it was only the “on hover” background colour of the navbar.
All plugins disabled, fresh copy of the parent theme uploaded via FTP, cache cleared.

I have a suspicion as to where this could be coming from and I think it has something to do with the way the advanced styling option works in the Enfold theme. I think it would be worth escalating this issue within your team to investigate further.

Let me try to explain:
When I started developing this site I wanted to use a specific green colour #5ca51b BUT I soon saw that your advanced styling options don’t accept all hexadecimal colours as every time I input it it would immediately overwrite the “c” with a “b” and only accept #5ba51b.
HOWEVER other areas of the theme seem to accept the original #5ca51b when input manually e.g. in a “heading”.

ALSO in the early days of development the way the selected green looked on page on Chrome was a different shade between the homepage and any new pages I created. On one page the colour even changed slightly between the top and bottom of the page. It eventually cleared itself )or I did something that cleared it without realising) but, to me, this is another hint that there is a problem with handling colours somewhere.

This is not an issue in terms of design as the two colours are very close but I wonder if this is at the source of the issue I am experiencing and has somehow corrupted the database ?

Before I deactivated all the plugins I made one change in the “email settings” of woocommerce: the header colour had my original #5ca51b colour, I changed it to match every other area of the site to #5ba51b. This is when all advanced styling options stopped working completely. having deactivated plugins, uploaded a fresh copy of the theme and cleared cache, the “advanced styling options” are now not working at all.

Unless we can find a permanent fix, I’m going to have to go ahead a delete the entire installation and start again. I might even try another theme altogether. This is going to cost me some time but as this site will be holding several hundred events once its up and running I’d rather do it now than have a bigger problem done the line as I need to deliver something stable to my client.

Before I go ahead and start again from scratch, is there any kind of diagnostic you can run to check the integrity of the theme / database etc… ?

If you need me to keep the site running to investigate further I can restore the site in its last state to another subdomain somewhere else and give you access if it helps. Whilst I rebuild at the current url.

Please let me know asap as it is obviously going to delay delivery of the site to my client.

Thanks in advance

Hello Andy,
Ok I have found the source of the problem: it lies in the position of the logo and the nav bar.

Advanced styling option for changing the background colour of the menu choice on hover works fine with logo left / menu right BUT stops working and the whole menu bar takes on the background colour which is supposed to be “on hover” only as soon as I set logo centre / menu below option !!

A theme issue that requires a little bug fix perhaps ?

Thank you Andy,
Glad to be of assistance. no need to worry too much about giving me custom code for now, I’m sure you have enough to do with all the support requests, I can live without the feature for now.

Out of interest when yo say you can reproduce the issue is it both the fact that some colours are not accepted in the styling options (like #5ca51b) and the menu highlight option or just the menu highlight issue ?

Take care

Hi,
I mean if you try to input the colour #5ca51b in various fields of the general styling options or advanced styling options, it refuses this colour and instead only accepts #5ba51b – it actually rewrites the first “c” to be a “b”.
BUT in the avia builder elements it will accept both #5ca51b and #5ba51b and the woocommerce email header colour also accepts both colours.
SO I wonder if there is also some kind of colour handling problem or conflict in the theme options panel.

This has occured on more than one installation for me – I don’t want to try it again so I don’t risk breaking something so maybe try in things like headings font colour, primary colour and see what happens for you ?

It is in fact making a manual change somewhere else on the site from #5ca51b (the last place where I had this colour) to #5ba51b in the woocommerce email header custom colour field which broke ALL the advanced styling options (the menu hover highlight was already broken).

Does that help at all ?
