I was also receiving an error (WordPress 5.8, GeneratePress theme, Scriptless Social Sharing 3.1.6, PHP 8.0.8) when attempting to edit the widgets while Scriptless Social Sharing was enabled. The fix above appears to have resolved the issue. Thanks!

In reply to: [AddToAny Share Buttons] prioritize addtoany loading over other pluginsAwesome, many thanks!
Corey, Thanks for the update and explanation. A workaround I’ve been doing in the meantime is to use a post/page duplicator or do a database backup prior to doing any major edits on a page.
Mentioning this in case it’s related: Links to all my posts were giving 404 errors after upgrading. Strangely, resaving the permalink setting would temporarily fix it, then the problem would return within half an hour. Turning Yoast off or going back to the last version (3.1) and then resaving the permalink setting resolved it. I’ve enjoyed using this great plugin for some time, but may leave it off or at the prior version until the next update.

In reply to: [Make] Menu sizeThe inspector (available by right-clicking in Chrome on the element of the page you’re interested in changing) can also be useful for id’ing which css code pertains to it. I *think* there’s a tutorial somewhere on Make’s site re: using the inspector. When I clicked on individual menu items in the website you referenced, it pulled up the same css style noahcryns referenced. In addition to font-size, there’s also a padding setting, per the example below. It appears that tinkering with the 2nd padding number adjusts the spacing b/t the menu items.
And ditto what moyer4 said re: using a child theme if you’re going to edit your stylesheet..site-navigation .nav-menu li a {
padding: 1.1rem 1.6rem;
}Many thanks! I may explore a few grid plugins to see if that’s an option.

In reply to: [Make] How to have a static front page instead of a blog postUnder WordPress dashboard–>settings–>reading, you’ll see some settings under “front page displays.” Select “static page,” and pick the page you want displayed there.

In reply to: [Make] Menu sizeThe menu font styles (some of which are narrower than others) and size can be adjusted in the customizer, which may make it narrower for you. Adjusting the spacing b/t items would probably take custom css coding (I know some basics, but beyond my current knowledge).
Keep in mind that even if you get the items to fit on one line, it will still spill over on a mobile device.
One way to approach this latter issue within Make is to put 1-3 high-priority menu items in the header bar, in addition to having your full menu in the standard location. See davewheitner.com for an example of this, where I’ve put two items I want to make sure people see right away in the header bar. Hope that helps!
Oh, keep in mind too that within the menu editor, you can edit the name of the menu item so it’s shorter than the title that appears on the page itself. This may enable your menu to fit.I realize that my earlier post on this was pretty long, so I’ll do a tldr version:
When I edit a previously published page created with Make’s builder template, and then preview that page, there seems to be no way to get back to the pre-edited version of the page in the editor if I decide I don’t want to keep those changes.
I don’t observe this issue when I try to replicate it with a default template page or in another theme.
Many thanks for any assistance.

In reply to: [Make] Google "Critical Mobile Usability Issues"testingWP777,
From what I can recall, I had to edit my robots.txt file to remove some of the disallowances (don’t recall how I did it, but I remember finding plenty of resources online) that had been preventing google from crawling and indexing my site properly. I don’t know if that’s what actually solved it, but it’s one of the main things I did.Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: [Make] Google "Critical Mobile Usability Issues"Melissa, Thanks for the response. I’m now looking into a discrepancy between what Google Webmaster Tools and the Google Mobile-friendly test site are telling me. I did just remove some disallowances from my robots.txt so Google’s crawler can render the mobile page fully, and will let you know if I see still issues with either tool after Google recognizes the new robots.txt. I didn’t make any other changes prior to that one just a few mins after reading your response. Thanks! Dave
I did this on my site by putting the following code into style.css (with a child theme already installed–you can also use the Jetpack css editor if you have that installed), where the builder section number refers to the unique id assigned to the uppermost of the two banners b/t which you’d like to close the gap:
#builder-section-1234567890 {
margin-bottom: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0rem;
}I found the unique id for the banner using the “inspect element” feature in Chrome; somewhere on the themefoundry site there’s a tutorial on using this and conducting similar exploration w/ other browsers.
Hope that helps!
