For the past several weeks I've been trying to figure out why the WordPress Pro theme by Themeco (https://theme.co/pro/) is having some problems with my XAMPP installation.
Pro comes with brand new header and footer builders. Those are visual drag and drop builders specifically built to create amazing headers and footers. The problem is that some CSS attributes for some elements in those headers and footers aren't applied in the final output on the front end causing them to look broken and not work properly. They do look and work perfectly when you're in the actual builders.
Themeco support doesn't know what's up either because everything works fine on their end. They even replicated the setup in their own XAMPP installation and it worked for them. Looks like it's my specific setup. But I have no idea what to try or where to look at this point.
Here's some things I've tried that didn't work:
- Grabbing fresh copies of both WordPress and the theme and installing those in a new directory
- No other plugins or themes present, all browser addons disabled, caches cleared, etc.
- Happens in all major browsers on Windows and Mac
- Completely removed and re-installed XAMPP, no changes made except increased some PHP memory limits
This works:
- Installed another local dev environment (Local by Flywheel)
- Uploaded the site to a live server
So I think I've pretty much narrowed it down to XAMPP.
Does anyone have any idea what could possibly cause this in XAMPP?
Any help at all is greatly appreciated!
