 * The Understrap theme doesn’t load a style.css, but instead loads a separate CSS
   file, child-theme.min.css, on the frontend. What is the full URL of the style.
   css file that you’re seeing loaded on the dashboard?

 * We’d probably need more information than what can be discussed on a support forum.
   The Understrap theme doesn’t modify any headers, so you’ll want to check with
   your hosting company first or your developer. You’ll want to ensure that you 
   have SSL enabled and are not allowing any additional API connections.

 * Essentially the `sr-only` classes were in Bootstrap 4 but in Bootstrap 5 they
   were replaced with the `visually-hidden` classes. However, because Understrap
   by default includes Font Awesome’s CSS, which includes `.sr-only`, the sr-only
   classes were actually still working when using Bootstrap 5.
 * But if you’re using a child theme on BS5 and have Font Awesome disabled, you’ll
   want to bring back that missing CSS

   here.

 * Great! We’re tracking the issue on our Github account as well and think we may
   have a fix but will be doing some additional research before deploying a bugfix
   release. You can always manually swap out this line of code for the time being
   and see if it helps”

 * To be clear – the option to set a featured image while editing a post (using 
   the block editor not classic) has disappeared? This is definitely not intentional,
   but not something that we’ve seen during testing. A few testing questions:
 * – What version of WordPress are you on?
    – Are you using a child theme? If so
   which child theme and is it possible to test activating ONLY the parent theme
   to see if the issue continues? – Can you try disabling each plugin one-by-one
   to determine if there’s a plugin conflict?

 * Is your child theme overriding the `inc/template-tags.php` file? If so, then 
   you’ll need to monitor new parent theme releases for updates to that file before
   updating.
 * You can either:
 * 1. Copy the missing function from the parent theme to your child theme: [https://github.com/understrap/understrap/blob/1d84c6332271b16be49e68cf2e7404bcc9376f62/inc/template-tags.php#L347](https://github.com/understrap/understrap/blob/1d84c6332271b16be49e68cf2e7404bcc9376f62/inc/template-tags.php#L347)
   
   2. Update your child theme to override individual functions not entire function
   files as suggested in the documentation: [https://docs.understrap.com/#/understrap-child/functions](https://docs.understrap.com/#/understrap-child/functions)
 * If you use the second method, your child theme will get all new functionality
   from the parent theme.
 * Let us know if this works for you.

 * If you had custom styles and page templates, then you should not update the theme.
   You should move any customizations into a child theme before updating.

 * Are you using the latest version of the child starter theme (in the package.json
   folder it should be 1.1.0).
 * Also, for better responses about custom child theme development, we recommend
   joining the conversion on our [child starter theme Github page](https://github.com/understrap/understrap-child).

 * If it’s been a while since you’ve developed, I recommend deleting your package-
   lock.json and node_modules, then running `npm install` again. Sometimes things
   like your node version have changed since you last ran a project.
 * Then try running `npm run watch` and let us know if you see any specific issues.

   are you using a child theme?
 * Another option is to use the `class:` feature in the Contact Form 7 setup:
 * [submit class:btn class:btn-primary “Submit”]

 * If you’re using an Understrap child theme, you’ll need to copy the header.php
   file from the parent theme into your child theme.
