[Resolved] left sidebar menu now displays below content on mobile, on update to GP 1.3.46

[Duncan]

Hi,

I’ve got an odd problem that occurred on upgrading from GeneratePress 1.3.44 -> 1.3.46 and GP Premium 1.2.94 -> 1.2.96.

I’ve got the primary navigation to display in the left sidebar, with some content inserted via hooks above and below it. Before upgrading (see http://www.brooklands-vintage-wedding-cars.co.uk), the menu displayed at the top of the page on mobile and tablet.

However, after upgrading (see http://gp.ryedalewebdesign.com), the menu now displays after the content, near the bottom of the page.

Is there a way to fix this and restore the menu location on mobile/tablet back to the top of the page?

Thanks

Hmm, that’s very strange. Can’t reproduce that on my development site.

Any caching plugins installed?

Can you try #1 on this page?: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/debugging-tips/

I haven’t got any caching plugins installed. I’ve deactivated all the plugins on the site, and activated them one by one until I get to GP Premium.

So, if I deactivate GP Premium, the menu displays at the top – when I reactivate it, the menu drops down below the content again!

So I went through the same process with each of the GP Premium add-ons, deactivating and reactivating them, until I got down to ‘Disable Elements’ – if this is deactivated the menu behaves as expected, but when this is reactivated, then the menu drops below the content.

Now, this isn’t actually a problem as I don’t make use of this add-on on this particular site (I activate all the add-ons by default on all of my sites), but this seems like a curious issue.

Thanks for your help.

Hmm that is strange – Disable Elements is activated on my dev install.

Did you have any of the elements disabled on the page using the Disable Elements settings?

Interestingly, I had the ‘Header’ element disabled, but only on the front page – this was the page that showed the menu after the content. Al the other pages (which didn’t have the header element disabled) displayed the menu as expected.

Once I unticked the ‘Header’ element, the menu displayed OK.

I think I must have tried this out before deciding to hide the header using css.

As far as I’m concerned, this issue is resolved – thanks for your help Tom – awesome support as always!

Thanks for pointing this out! I’ll see if I can improve the behavior when the header is disabled 🙂
