[Resolved] CLS caused by article update date by hiding using CSS display: none

[Kiogora]

Hey

Have been told to change my CSS display rule: none. Then I was sent a link ” The “display: none;” is a CSS rule used to hide the update date on your site, and it can probably be changed in the theme options or in the CSS files /wp-content/themes/generatepress/assets/css/main.min.css” How do I fix this please? note am not a expert when it comes to coding.

Hi Kiogora,

GP theme itself doesn’t cause CLS, I don’t think the CLS issue is coming from this specific CSS code.

Can you try disable all plugins except GP premium to do another test?

If you can link us to your site, we are happy to have a look for you 🙂

Why not… Ying.

Below is the communication with my plugin customer.

In your case, CLS is caused by article update date you are hiding using CSS display: none; Here is the screenshot https://i.imgur.com/zU596qR.jpeg, and here is the video how it happens: https://i.imgur.com/sE0W7fB.mp4

Hey Jurica,

Thanks for the clarity. One question about what you explained “In your case, CLS is caused by article update date you are hiding using CSS display: none; Here is the screenshot https://i.imgur.com/zU596qR.jpeg, and here is the video how it happens: https://i.imgur.com/sE0W7fB.mp4”
Where can I access the CSS Display to enable it.

Thanks.

Response from them

The “display: none;” is a CSS rule used to hide the update date on your site, and it can probably be changed in the theme options or in the CSS files /wp-content/themes/generatepress/assets/css/main.min.css

Are you using a caching plugin?

If so can you disable the caching plugin to test?

Typically this issue is caused by caching plugins.

Hi Leo,

I do not want confusion here Ying requested for log in details am not an expert in this field. How can I have one person helping me so that we can be in the same page?

[Leo]

I’ve reviewed the topic so understand the issue.

I don’t see the link to your site either so please provide that as well.

Can you disable the caching plugin first and see if the issue still occurs?

Thanks 🙂

Hey

Have done disabling and its even worse.

When I inquired what happening I was advised to fix this “The “display: none;” is a CSS rule used to hide the update date on your site, and it can probably be changed in the theme options or in the CSS files /wp-content/themes/generatepress/assets/css/main.min.css”

See private.

We got the username and password but don’t see a link to your site.

Can you provide that?

Can you disable your caching plugin?

[Kiogora]

Hey,

Just disabled the plugin all turned terrible. First Contentful Paint 3.1 s Speed Index 6.3 s Largest Contentful Paint 3.5 s Time to Interactive 12.7 s Total Blocking Time 2,030 ms Cumulative Layout Shift 0.001 except CLS was at recommended values. Overall its 44 for mobile and desktop at 95

That cant work. What really happened after July 18 because nothing changed on my website..

[Leo]

But the CLS issue is resolved? That seems to suggest that the caching plugin is actually causing the CLS issue and not the CSS from the theme.

Can you check with the caching plugin’s support team to see if they have a workaround solution?

Thanks.

[Kiogora]

But do we have this CSS files /wp-content/themes/generatepress/assets/css/main.min.css” as directed by the pluging team to fix that?
Resolved.

Glad to hear 🙂
