 * Thanks for that.
 * I’m not seeing exactly why the width is no longer applying to the header initially,
   but this CSS should fix it.
 *     ```wp-block-code
       .she-header-yes {    width: 100% !important;}
       ```
   
 * I hope that helps. Let me know how it goes.

 * Hi,
 * I see the problem you’re having. That happens because, like the icon, the shopping
   cart itself is inside of the header container. So, when the header shrinks, it
   affects everything inside of it.
 * You can prevent this from happening with this code:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       .she-header-yes .elementor-menu-cart__container.elementor-lightbox {    min-height: 100vh !important;}
       ```
   
 * Unfortunately, that causes another problem when the header moves up to hide. 
   I’m sure you’ll see what I’m referring to. You might be able to get that to look
   better with some styling. I don’t see an option in Elementor to change the page
   overlay color so you might want to add this code under the min-height
 *     ```wp-block-code
       background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);
       ```
   
 * I hope this helps.

 * Hi,
 * I just double checked the code and there is no error on that line of that file.
   What PHP version is your site using. It should be 7.4 or higher, Ideally at least
   8.0.
 * Are the rest of your plugin up to date along with WordPress itself? Do you have
   a link to check?

 * Hi,
 * I’m sorry to hear that you’re having problems. Does the problem happen when the
   plugin is deactivated or just when you disable the option on the elementor container
   in the builder?
 * Could you possibly create a test page with it active? Maybe duplicate a page 
   and send the URL?
 * Thanks

 * You’re welcome!
 * I’m happy that worked for you. It’s not best practice to use !important to raise
   specificity, only when absolutely necessary. It seems like you should be just
   fine, though.

 * Hi,
 * I’m sorry you’re having problems and also sorry the rules of the forum don’t 
   allow us to ask for any credentials. I’d really need a live page to properly 
   troubleshoot. Could you possibly password protect the site except for a test 
   page? Or maybe use a staging site? Otherwise it would just be guessing what works.
 * For now, could you try this?
 * On the header container where the plugin is active, under custom css, add this
   code:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       selector {    z-index: 1 !important;}
       ```
   
 * If that successfully changes the z-index then you might have to adjust the number.
   If “selector” isn’t specific enough try “selector.she-header-yes”
 * I hope this helps. Let me know.

 * When I go to that link I don’t see a menu at all?
 * Is there another page that has a menu? I’d be happy to help if I had something

 * Hi,
 * The header class that gets toggled at the scroll distance is “.she-header”. You
   would have to use that with some custom css.
 * I hope that helps.

 * Hi,
 * Sorry but this is a problem with any “sticky”, “fixed”, “overlapping”, “overlay”,“
   transparent” header regardless of the method used to apply it. The header overlapping
   the page presents a number of potential problems in general.
 * You could add some padding to the page or password field. I’m sure a quick google
   would provide more options to solve sticky header problems.
 * Good luck!

 * Sorry, I’m not exactly sure what you mean. It sounds like you’re saying that 
   the header is overlaying the page and you need to adjust the padding. This is
   just a normal downside of using an overlay(transparent) header. There are plenty
   of articles on how to combat this issue with several different solutions. It’s
   up to you to decide which solution works best for you.
 * Here are a few articles that might help.

 * Maybe only have the overlay(transparent) header on the homepage and use a regular
   header on the rest. That way you only have to correct a single page, not all 
   of them.
 * I hope this helps.
