Page Title in Editor Missing

Hi Leo,

Seems to be isolated to only Safari on OSX. I tried testing on another computer and same thing; which is originally what sent me to you guys for support.

It's only this particular GP site though...

All my other WP site are working/behaving as expected.

Including 3 other GP themed sites...? Which is why I thought (and still think) it's something in the theme and not the browser...

Go figure.

I took a look on MacOSX Safari - and i cannot see the Add Title placeholder.
Peculiar thing is i cannot replicate this on my own sites... and inspecting the HTML/CSS of the editor the code is identical - which sort of points to it being a localised thing.

I noticed there is a child theme, can this be disabled ? (along with any plugins ) to see if there is the conflict there

Hi David.

Yes, this was the first thing I did - disabled my child. After that, all the plugins.

Same result.

Tested on a different computer and got the same results on OSX Safari. Then I decided to install and try Twenty-Nineteen... and it worked.

And that's when I decided to reach out.You are welcome to enable/disable the GP theme and plugins to see what I'm talking about.

In the ScreenShot I sent/linked above it's obviously selected there, it's just invisible (or white) in the editor. So I thought maybe it was my header "elements" so I combed thru them too. But can't really see why they would effect the editor.

Thanks again for looking at this.

Well its very bizarre.... the ::placeholder text is NOT inheriting the textarea color.
And the User Agent Style for the placeholder on Safari is color: darkgray; - however its spitting out a computed value of rgba(255,255,255,0.65); which looks to be why its not displaying.

What makes it harder to diagnose is that the CSS looks no different to when i enabled the TwentyX theme... and i don't have this issue locally.

I have asked Tom to take a look - maybe something related to the contrast checker that GP uses or something real simple i just can't see.

Weird, what happens if you completely remove your content background color? It's to a transparent value right now.
