Not a browser cache issue, I opened a fresh browser to check It’s a staging site, exact clone of live site. (I learned my lesson about Evolve theme upgrades the last time around) * I can’t post URL/login info publicly — is there way to transmit that info privately? * [Denzel Chia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/denzel_chia/) * (@denzel_chia) * [10 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/menu-problems-on-upgrade/#post-7337915) * Hi, * This is a public forum with public and volunteer support only. * Thank you. * [wernerg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wernerg/) * (@wernerg) * [10 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/menu-problems-on-upgrade/#post-7337942) * Same menu problem as abigailm since last theme update: * [http://www.grohmann-business-consulting.de](http://www.grohmann-business-consulting.de) * No cache plugin in use, wrong menu mode ist displayed on various browsers. * [Romik84](https://wordpress.org/support/users/romik84/) * (@romik84) * [10 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/menu-problems-on-upgrade/#post-7337946) * please update your child theme…it has been discussed * [wernerg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wernerg/) * (@wernerg) * [10 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/menu-problems-on-upgrade/#post-7337947) * Thanks for this advise. Did not find it in previous posts. * Thread Starter [Abigailm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/abigailm/) * (@abigailm) * [10 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/menu-problems-on-upgrade/#post-7337954) * > please update your child theme…it has been discussed * Could you please link to WHERE “it has been discussed?” I looked all over before posting. * Or explain what parts of the child theme need updating? Is it a style change? Template change? * Thread Starter [Abigailm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/abigailm/) * (@abigailm) * [10 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/menu-problems-on-upgrade/#post-7337957) * Just for anyone else reading this — I figured out that the problem was with the header template in my child theme, so I disabled that. But that just gave rise to a new problem- the styling for the main menu has been changed so that there are light fonts against a light background on hover & drop down, and the menu is virtually unusable….. so upgraded theme is still unusable. * [Romik84](https://wordpress.org/support/users/romik84/) * (@romik84) * [10 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/menu-problems-on-upgrade/#post-7337959) * [@abigailm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/abigailm/) your website URL please * [mvdweer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mvdweer/) * (@mvdweer) * [10 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/menu-problems-on-upgrade/#post-7337962) * Clearing my browser history did solve the problem with the mobile menu, but now I wonder if my regular visitors will have the same problem? I can’t ask them all to clear their browser history… * [Denzel Chia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/denzel_chia/) * (@denzel_chia) * [10 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/menu-problems-on-upgrade/#post-7337971) * Hi [@mvdweer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mvdweer/), * You can try using the plugin as mentioned in this article. [http://wptavern.com/busted-a-wordpress-plugin-to-force-cache-busting](http://wptavern.com/busted-a-wordpress-plugin-to-force-cache-busting) * Thank you. * Thread Starter [Abigailm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/abigailm/) * (@abigailm) * [10 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/menu-problems-on-upgrade/#post-7337972) * Romik84, the problems is that the menu problem is on a staging site that is behind a firewall and I can’t post the credentials to login on a public site. But I’ve created a screenshot so you can see what has happened: [http://imgur.com/4uF51VM](http://imgur.com/4uF51VM) * This seems to be the same problem described in this thread: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/issues-after-upgrade-1?replies=10](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/issues-after-upgrade-1?replies=10) * This is on a child theme but the same issue persists on the parent site. * [aloeroot](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aloeroot/) * (@aloeroot) * [10 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/menu-problems-on-upgrade/#post-7337980) * Same issue for me. I “live previewed” the parent theme, to see if it’s something in my child (which is nothing but a style.css file) and the dropdown menu is white text on a transparent background; unusable. There are some other layout issues too. I reverted to a backup copy. * Thread Starter [Abigailm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/abigailm/) * (@abigailm) * [10 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/menu-problems-on-upgrade/#post-7337982) * OK,I figured it out. I ran a clean install on a staging site to eliminate any possible issues from my child site or plugins. This is definitely due to differences in theme options. * Here is what needs to be done to match previous settings on the menu: * 1. In Theme Options, go to Typography > Menu and set color for the “Main Menu Font” * 2. In Theme Options, go to Styling > Menu and set color for “Menu hover font color” * 3. This will still leave you with a transparent background if you have a light menu. Under Styling > Menu there is a premium option called “Custom menu hover background” that might solve that problem, but assuming you are sticking with the free theme, you will have to add the following custom CSS specification: * `ul.nav-menu ul {background: #eee;}` * (where #eee can be substituted with whatever light color is appropriate for your theme). * You might have to add an !important specification to make it work. (I didn’t test things that far — I just made the adjustments using the browser developer tools). * There is still another display issue with social media icons on home page (increased spacing) and I haven’t had time to go through my staging site whatever other layout issues have been introduced with this upgrade. I haven’t updated the theme on my live site and will have to give it all more thought before I do. * [zulok](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zulok/) * (@zulok) * [10 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/menu-problems-on-upgrade/#post-7337986) * Abigailm * Thank you very much for your help! * I still cannot make the theme to use the font and size that is customized in Typography-> Menu -> “Main Menu Font”. It is ovewriten by the class defined in the theme root Style.css: * ul.nav-menu a { font: 15px/1.5 “Roboto”, arial, sans-serif;} * I can ovewrite it in the child theme, but I still think it is a bug of the theme. * Thanks David Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 29 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/menu-problems-on-upgrade/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/menu-problems-on-upgrade/page/2/?output_format=md) The topic ‘Menu problems on upgrade’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://i0.wp.com/themes.svn.wordpress.org/evolve/4.3.7/screenshot.png) * evolve * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/evolve/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/evolve/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/evolve/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/evolve/reviews/) ## Tags * [menu](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/menu/) * [upgrade](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/upgrade/) * 29 replies * 10 participants * Last reply from: [Denzel Chia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/denzel_chia/) * Last activity: [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/menu-problems-on-upgrade/page/2/#post-7338038) * Status: not resolved
