Glad to hear I’m not the only one noticing this small issue.

Thanks for the prompt. I didn’t seem to be getting email notifications. I found a plugin to do this but, now I see Lorro’s suggestion above. I was tempted to change that 25 number but though it referred to something else!

Cheers.

Ok, you need to step through that setup process and then it transforms into the status panel.

Very suspiciously though it looks very tricksy and sticky around the JetPack section.

At this stage I am just rolling with these browser alerts. But not good that the WP devs are not fixing it. Maybe because it is on the Classic Editor they don’t want to bother fixing it. One thing though anyone else seeing this happen to be using TinyMCE Advanced? Could it be anutyhign to do with it. I might test and see.

Hi Hannah,

You can grab the quick movie I made on the header issue I am seeing.

https://www.mediafire.com/file/74zt6erg0xmav0b/sticky-header.mov/file

I recorded this with ten viewport set to tablet as it the most likely place that people will encounter this issue.

It start in Landscape with the header working properly. It is a solid header and should be fixed/sticky as per the setting I made for desktop. I then switch the view to portrait and again all is fine. In fact the header is sticky. But, when I switch back to landscape you will see that the white header background is a bit off and when I scroll this background scrolls away as well.

Hi Ben,

Here is a link to where you can see what I am talking about:

https://testing.vaughanprint.com/.

I stuck a screenshot of the header settings onto the page. I disabled all plugins except for Kadence.

The best way to see this is to use Chrome tools or other and view as a tablet, in portrait first, then landscape. When you do this and scroll up you will see the page content moving up under the header which is now transparent.

Lastly, I presume we can make a basic child theme from the parent as per the standard WordPress instructions. I am planning to build a budget site for a client with the Kadence theme. Their hosting isn’t the quickest so this will be a perfect fit for this theme and I want to work exclusively with the block editor to be more familiar with it and any of its quirks. The last time I did a block editor build was over a year ago and I used another theme whose child theme set up for me wasn’t standard. It looks like things have moved on nicely since then.

Thanks Ben,

I will have a look at that plugin you recommend. Though I try to follow best practice and install as few plugins as possible… it never works out that way. You know yourself.

Good to hear you are working on the previews. Always the nagging feeling though that the Gutenberg team may come along later and suddenly introduce their own implementation which could mess up your solution or Toolset’s. It’s the one crib I have with the whole block editor project. They get so far and then get distracted by some other cool feature such as Full Site editing without covering all use cases that are set up on sites.

One of these, which if you ever used Toolset to set up a custom post type with a prescribed set of custom fields, is data entry where the main editor is disabled and the user is forced to use what’s provided. All this is then dynamically presented with a template designed elsewhere. As it is with the new editor, the blocks, which are great for free form content creation, are dangerously, available to clients and end users. There should be a way to disable this editor area, even if it has to be done with a function or as a setting on the post type in the likes of Toolset. Like yourself I have resorted to a hack that is a function that activates css on the post type to hide the block editor. Probably not the best solution but it works. And, the curious question, with the classic editor flagged to be retired by the end of the year, where is the fancy new UI for WooCommerce products?
