I've been developing a long time and I've built websites and systems in PHP over quite a few years. This is my first time building a site in WP and using Elementor. Most of it has gone pretty well but now that I'm almost done, I have a few issues that are a bit puzzling.
Facts
Any tips on how to track down what's causing these issues?
Facts
- I'm running under Win 7 locally (which shouldn't make a difference).
- I'm using the Astra theme.
- When I make changes, I click on the Elementor Update button and then I go back to the Wordpress page and click the Update button there.
- I only used the front page so it's a pretty straightforward site. I filled in the boxes with the appropriate stuff and within Elementor everything looks fine.
- If I do a Preview from the Wordpress page, everything displays correctly. It's perfect.
- When I display the site directly (in the same browser),all of the text and images are there.
- On the WP page, it shows a publish date of almost a month ago. Is that normal when I'm using Elementor instead of the WP Editor?
- When I display the site directly in another tab in the same browser, some of the formatting and a key graphic element don't appear. Icons that are colored green come out as grey, A grey background behind one of the text sections isn't there.
- Astra provides an image at the top of the page with a window over it that scrolls up over the image as you scroll down the page. It has some text and a video box layered on top of it. That image and the window effect is totally missing when I display it directly from the site. I get the same result when I try it in other browsers.
- ON my phone, it seems to be stuck on an earlier version. It doesn't have the formatting issues mentioned above but it doesn't have the most recent content changes. I have tried clearing the cache on the browser but that doesn't seem to make any difference.
- I have also viewed the site under Win 10 and that has the same issues (but it's also missing some images!)
