 * Desktop version of the website. The slider photos on the home page are covering
   the drop-downs from the main menu. *Gallery: Baby > Family > Seniors > Weddings
   > Engagement > Commercial > Boudoir > Modeling

 * Hi [@ashley_c](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ashley_c/)
 * Currently I can’t see Smart Slider 3 on your homepage. I can see you’re using
   Comet Cache – is it possible that you have not cleared its cache after you published
   the slider?
 * In any case, these kind of problems usually occur when the menu’s [z-index](https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_pos_z-index.asp)
   is not high enough, not it’s not set at all.
 * The current, I think SiteOrigin, slider has the same issue, so I was able to 
   check and possibly figure out the problem.
 * When your menu is not in “fixed” position, so when it’s at the top of the page,**
   it has no z-index set.** In fixed position, it has z-index:
 *     ```
       nav.fixed {
           top: 0;
           z-index: 999;
           left: 0;
           right: 0;
           transition: all 0.3s ease;
           -webkit-transition: all 0.3s ease;
           -moz-transition: all 0.3s ease;
       }
       ```
   
 * coming from: /wp-content/themes/shapely/style.css
    As this 999 z-index should
   be high enough, I suggest adding the same value to the not-fixed position:
 *     ```
       .main-navigation {
           position: relative;
           z-index: 999;
       }
       ```
   
 * you can put this code to Customizer > Additional CSS. This should fix the problem.
