    Upgrading our staging site to the new release 5 (also updated the core) has cause a problem. Only see the header and nothing else. Please see private information:

    Your “fix” worked and has brought the site back to life with a couple exceptions where I lost formatting from the version upgrade I need some help on.

    1.) For the Shop Page I am using the full width, 2 column booking view which looks fine here: https://georcarson.staging.wpengine.com/category/epoxy/ but I no longer see this formatting on the brand page https://georcarson.staging.wpengine.com/brand/acl-staticide/ .

    2. I am also having a formatting issue with the Related Products as it now shows a picture only at the bottom of the page – https://georcarson.staging.wpengine.com/product/4800-ultra-static-dissipative-floor-finish/ . The previous formatting from our live site has been lost with the upgrade and is no longer there. https://exteriorcoatings.com/product/4800-ultra-static-dissipative-floor-finish/

    3.) same loss of formatting on the 8themes product slider on the home page from old to new version upgrade titled “New Arrivals”: Pre upgrade: https://exteriorcoatings.com/ and after upgrade https://georcarson.staging.wpengine.com/

    Overall I like many of the new tweaks and enhancements of the version 5 upgrade, very nice! JUst need to nail down these couple of issues. Thanks.

    Ooops. I forgot to mention on my note a couple minutes ago 2 more small format issue.

    1. The Shopping Cart Icon on the header no longer shows up, just the number of items in the cart?

    2. on the shop page although the list, booking format is working it is not properly lining up. 2 products per row is the format, but each product is not at the same vertical line height when a listing does not have the exact overall height. Old version this was not a problem as if one product had a longer listing than the other, they both started down the page a bit farther. The new version by the time you get to the bottom of the shop page, there is a significant difference between the columns in where product in column starts and product in column 2 starts. See staging shop page and scroll down and it is immediately obvious. http://georcarson.staging.wpengine.com/shop/

    I was able to fix one of the items. I still have the following 3 problems from my 2 Nov 20 emails:

    1.) On the Shop Page I am using the full width, 2 column booking view which looks fine here: https://georcarson.staging.wpengine.com/category/epoxy/ but I no longer see that formatting on the brand page, only shows pictures? https://georcarson.staging.wpengine.com/brand/acl-staticide/ .

    2. I am also having a formatting issue with the Related Products slider bottom of single product page – https://georcarson.staging.wpengine.com/product/4800-ultra-static-dissipative-floor-finish/ . The previous formatting from our live site has been lost with the upgrade and is no longer there. https://exteriorcoatings.com/product/4800-ultra-static-dissipative-floor-finish/

    3.) same loss of formatting on the 8themes product slider on the home page from old to new version upgrade titled “New Arrivals”: Pre upgrade: https://exteriorcoatings.com/ and after upgrade https://georcarson.staging.wpengine.com/

    4.) The Shopping Cart Icon on the header no longer shows up, just the number of items in the cart?

    Hello,

    1), 2), 3) Check now, please. We have made changes in child theme style.css, child theme content-product-slider.php and also edited code that you added in WP custom CSS (Appearance > Customize)
    http://prntscr.com/lm3287
    http://prntscr.com/lm34b9
    http://prntscr.com/lm369o
    4) Because White color was chosen in header styles http://prntscr.com/lm1t32

    Thanks!!!

    Just a couple more problems from upgrade:

    1.) Dropdown menu text for My Account on top bar not visible (text is white color). Don’t know how to change it to black color text.

    2.) Single products displayed using Woo Commerce Products and 8Themes using grid mode are showing up on website with bullet points and tags below the picture:

    https://georcarson.staging.wpengine.com/product/metallic-epoxy-coating-pigment-colorant/

    If using 8theme Products in slider style, products are displayed just fine
    If using Massive Grid Products error message displayed.

    3.) How can I make text in drop down boxes on single product page darker?

    Apprecaite the help.

    Hello,

    1) Problem was caused by custom CSS in Theme Options > Custom CSS and in WP custom CSS (Appearance > Customize > Custom CSS). You are using child theme so I would recommend you to move both customs to child theme style.css.

    2) Can you provide the screenshot of the error message and add the element below the existing products to allow us to check the issue?

    3) Use

    .product-information table.variations td.value select {
        color: #000;
    }

    Making progress. only one more item on this 3 item list.

    Here is an example of the Massive Product Category element with an error message:

    http://georcarson.staging.wpengine.com/product/mica-meallic-chips-for-epoxy-polyaspartic-urethane-coatings/?preview_id=10341&preview_nonce=8cf4f2b833&_thumbnail_id=10367&preview=true

    Also still not working properly: Single products displayed using Woo Commerce Products and 8Themes using grid mode are showing up on website with bullet points and tags below the picture:

    https://georcarson.staging.wpengine.com/product/metallic-epoxy-coating-pigment-colorant/

    Thanks.

    Hello,

    1) What category are you trying to show there? http://prntscr.com/lnj34b We did not find that product category in the list http://prntscr.com/lnj45v Once we used existing category everything works fine, you can check that example of the product.

    2) Do you want to remove the product excerpt? Check now (I have changed the custom CSS code).

    Almost there! All upgrade issues fixed except one small new one that cropped up with latest 5.xx upgrade.

    Using the Woo Commerce Products element in a page again shows the short product description bullet points and tags (this is NOT a problem using Woo Commerce Products element in single product page anymore.)

    See this link under Metallic Colors tab: https://georcarson.staging.wpengine.com/metallics-marbled-epoxy-systems/

    Thanks again.

    Please change this code in custom css:

    .single-product .product-view-booking .content-product .product-excerpt {
        display: none;
    }

    to:

    .single-product .product-view-booking .content-product .product-excerpt,
