Please, when you post code or configs on this forum, use a fenced code block: ``` code here ``` Or use the </> button in the menu.

I still wonder why you went with that theme. Anyway… [image] Recent Posts Inconsistencies Using Themes Be aware that the theme author does not provide support for this theme (and often, theme questions in this forum are directed to theme authors.)

I have done a lot of work on it but it matched well with the project. I just wanted something that had the framework I needed and responsiveness working and then planned to build everything else out. But yeah - I wish Mainroad had documentation. I have some other templates I am looking at for the …
