 * After removing the Extra2 section (displaying our xmas out of office message)
   the text and button on the Welcome section is suddenly no longer displaying. 
   I have changed a character in the text and saved, no change. I have remove all
   text, saved, re-entered text and saved: no change. I have reset the Welcome section
   to it’s default settings: still nothing. It changed the background image , but
   the text and buttons provided by the default settings are not visible. I then
   re-entered my own welcome text again, but it’s still not showing anything. I 
   checked the source code of the page, there’s nothing in the Welcome section. 
   
   Theme is version 1.5.3 Pro, WordPress is on 6.1.1All help is very much appreciated!
   Update: I found the root cause: After changing my PHP version back from 8.1 to
   7.4 everything is showing again. I’ll contact Themely on this.
