Could you share a screenshot of the settings in the backend so we can pinpoint the section you’d like to change? I recommend [https://snipboard.io](https://snipboard.io) for easily sharing screenshots – please follow the instructions on the page, then paste the URL in this chat.

If you deactivate Elementor plugin does the frontend page look like the backend? Kindly let us know. * Thread Starter [moniqjvv3](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moniqjvv3/) * (@moniqjvv3) * [4 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hierarchy-reflection/#post-14769496) * I have tried it both ways and still reflects the same. * Thread Starter [moniqjvv3](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moniqjvv3/) * (@moniqjvv3) * [4 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hierarchy-reflection/#post-14769677) * I managed to fix this via Chrome’s developer tools option, however I do not know how to save these edits done on the developer tool’s option, if I can be informed how to save these CSS changes on there I can resolve the issue. * Plugin Support [abwaita a11n](https://wordpress.org/support/users/abwaita/) * (@abwaita) * [4 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hierarchy-reflection/#post-14770624) * Hi [@moniqjvv3](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moniqjvv3/), * Good to hear you’ve made progress here.
