Theme update has messed up layering

catzip · October 2016

Please Help! I just installed the new BE theme update and it has broken the layering of the Decoration Image | Bottom layering with the page content. The image now overlaps and covers the content.

You can see an example of this at http://grapevinewall.com/experience/

And this image

Hi,

we are pretty sure that it did not happened after update. As we can see you are using decoration images which are 400px height and this is the reason why are so big. To achieve desired effect as we we got on some of our demos, you should upload lower image like 50px of height for example.

The height is like that because it looked like it was behind the column before the update. This has happened with all the background images and decoration images. It is doing the same thing with my home page slider (http://grapevinewall.com/). My feet used to hang down onto the floor. Now they are chopped off.

It couldn't be behind the columns before the update because we did not changed anything here. So please use lower image as we told you above and everything would be fine. If you would like to check decoration example on our demos, please check http://themes.muffingroup.com/be/biker/ and you will see that this layer wasn't never behind the columns.

Excuss me. It was behind. HERE IS THE PROOF from Google Cache You can see my feet on the floor on the front page here (http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http://grapevinewall.com/)

And you can see it behind the column here (http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http://grapevinewall.com/experience/)

We did opened above links and as you can see on the following screenshots: https://snag.gy/7xuTeN.jpg and https://snag.gy/uvWOG1.jpg it does not look the same as on your screenshot. Like we said above, decorations was never working behind the content. What you present on screenshots looks more like a background image for section.

We are not getting anywhere and I don't appreciate your arguments. Are you saying I am lying or stupid. Those were screen shots of the cached site. The site was that way. I designed it and that is how it looked. You are just arguing about the fact that it was that way and calling me a liar. Instead of arguing the fact that THE SITE WAS THAT WAY you should be looking into why it was and now it is not. YOU ARE 100% WRONG I am not pleased with how you are treating me or the issue. You obviously do not want to help and even when I show you the links and evidence you call me a liar by saying it looks like a background image. IT WAS NOT A BACKGROUND IMAGE.

We did not said anything like this and we really do not understand why are you trying to be so rude. We are just trying to tell you that you are wrong. We don't know how or who did if for you before but we are 1000% sure that this is not how decorations works and for sure this is not an "issue". How can you call an "issue" something what wasn't never included into theme? Sorry but we don't get it. If you look on some pre-built websites like: Be|Biker - http://pasteboard.co/jcQllIQOn.png you will understand that this is how decorations was always working and this feature has never been changed. For all the time it works the way we made it. The only explanation we have is that someone did modifications in files of your previous theme version and that's why it doesn't work the same after update.

Check below:

1. http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http://grapevinewall.com/
image is set as: "section BACKGROUND image" what you can see on http://pasteboard.co/jcOzjOr1M.png (this is very clear proof that it's background image for section as we told you in previous message)

2. http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http://grapevinewall.com/experience/
image is set as: "section DECORATION image" what you can see on http://pasteboard.co/jcPyr7ahh.png

Please understand that these are 2 different parameters for sections:
1. section BACKGROUND image - this option is adding background image
2. section DECORATION image - this option is adding an image above the section

http://pasteboard.co/jdabQPCaD.png - this image explains these 2 different options/features for sections.

Yes, I understand. Both the decoration image and background image worked the same before. Meaning both were behind the top section. I designed around those previous layer parameters. All I wanted was an acknowledgement that perhaps these were the parameters and perhaps they were changed. You have done this and I appreciate your time to explain. I promise, the layout from the earlier version worked the way I have been explaining. I suppose I will redesign to account for these new paramenters.

So if this was working the way you explained above, then explanation is only one - some did modified original theme files because we are 1000000% sure that this wasn't never working like that in original theme version

weird...oh well. no big deal. Just a few minor design tweaks. Thanks for the help. I still do love the theme and have bought multiple copies for myself and clients. ^:)^

You're welcome

We are glad that all is clear now.
