    Hi,

    Thanks for the great plugin. However, I’m having an issue that I don’t recall having before. With the settings set as such:

    Bar Location: Top
    Bar Display: Default
    Hide Bar: Yes

    The bar when opened, once I scroll down the bar scrolls along with the sites body content leaving a large void where the bar once was. Look here:

    I can’t seem to find the issue. It has never done this before that I can remember. Your help would be very appreciated. The theme I’m using is Gameday.

    It looks like you changed out the bar before I could get a look at it.
    From the ticket, it seems as if your were using the bar before with no issues?

    If this is a correct assumption what changed? New theme? Plugins? Did the change occur after an update? Did you attempt the troubleshooting steps recommended here?: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/please-read-and-follow-the-following-guidelines-before-opening-a-new-topic-1?replies=1

    Hi. And thanks for responding. The issue is still there. I’ve deactivated all plug-ins and three issue remained. No structural changes to the theme. What can it be?

    Also, the best view of the issue is on the schedule page

    Don the schedule page is great example thanks for pointing me that way.

    The issue is not with the bar – it’s behaving well. The problem is that the theme’s Navbar which is fixed to its position; when there is no bar it’s position is fixed to the top of the page, no problems there. When the bar is open it’s position is fixed below the open bar and as it is fixed at the time the page renders scrolling causes that issue.

    So how do you fix it?
    A quick fix would be to set the navigation bar to a relative position: http://learnlayout.com/position.html, just be aware that this will stop the navigation from scrolling with the page.

    Or you or your web designer could have the navbar become “sticky” when the page is scrolled; see:

    The links above will get you sorted out. I am sorry I can’t spend more time on this as it technically is not a bug I can solve through the plugin’s code.

    Thanks!

    Thanks for the input. I fixed the issue by going into the theme’s css and changing the position from fixed to absolute. That did the trick and now the nav bar scrolls off screen along with the EHU Bar.

    Thanks again
