Using Catalyst (Mike Oliver): Problem with the Call to Actions on HomePage

[Eddy]

I have installed and configured Catalyst (Mike Oliver). Now the problem is although I’ve set “Call to actions” on my homepage,,they’re not visible…The text can be selected while I hover my mouse over the exact place.

That place appear as blank . I have attached the URL of my homepage. You can check for yourself. I’m using the exact setting as the demo site. I’m not using any caching plugin at the moment.

Hi there,

This is the only HTML content I’m seeing in the home page header element:

Is that not what you have?

Thanks but my question is about a section specifically built for call to action as shown in the attached screenshot. No text is appearing ,,,text can be seen when you hover your mouse over it.

If you’re still not sure about the problem, I’m including another screenshot.

Screenshot before I select anything (empty area) https://prnt.sc/t2xzmv

ScreenShot after I select that empty area with my mouse https://prnt.sc/t2y9aj

Hope that help you understand the problem !

Edit this this CSS in Additional CSS field in the customizer.

.button.ghost, .button.ghost:visited, .button.ghost:focus {
    color: #fff;
    letter-spacing: 1px;
    background: transparent;
    border: 2px solid #fff;
    padding: 8px 20px;
    margin: 10px;
    border-radius: 6px;
    transition: all .6s ease 0s;
}

The color: #fff; and background: transparent; is what you’d want to tweak.

Let me know if this helps 🙂

I have multiple call to actions in my homepage.

All those aren’t showing.

Here’s the color and background settings Screenshot https://prnt.sc/t35834

(These settings are same for all call to actions)

Will editing additional css solve the issue of entire page?

And please can you guide what needs to be changed in the color and background?

Yes.

And please can you guide what needs to be changed in the color and background?

I actually explained everything here:

Can you give it a shot first?

Ok,,fixed now,,,seems like elementor was causing some issues…

Last question,,if you can answer that one:

“I read somewhere that you’ve updated Catalyst and is now ready with Generateblocks instead of classic editor. My GP Premium plugin is updated..How do I move to the new Catalyst using Generateblocks without losing all my content ?

How do I move to the new Catalyst using Generateblocks without losing all my content

That’s not possible unfortunately. It’d need to be a new install.
