Featured Image Scroll Arrow Overshoots on Desktop

  • thecomputernoob · Member ·

    Greetings!

    Upon clicking the “down arrow” icon in a post’s featured image region, the post automatically scrolls to the first readable line of the post, that’s fine. However, this does not work the same on desktop.

    On desktop, the automatic scroll overshoots to the 4th line or so. Any clue why this is happening?

    Curiously,
    A.

    Hello,

    The reason why the automatic scroll overshoots to the 4th line is due to the fixed site header.

    The only way to fix this issue at WordPress.com is to increase the content top paddings in desktop views:

    
@media (min-width: 992px) {
  #content-container {
   padding-top: 3rem; 
  }
}

    Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

    Kind regards,
    Taras

    Thank you for the quick response!

    The snippet sure fixes my issue, but it is a “workaround” and introduces an unwanted gap at the top of the page, which looks awkward.

    You mentioned a “fixed site header”. Is this an issue on my end due to any modifications I have made? Or is this just a WordPress thing? I mean to ask who is responsible for this inaccurate scrolling.

    If it is a WordPress thing, and this is your theme, couldn’t you maybe program the auto-scroll to be shorter? Apologies, I am not a web-developer, but do understand code, so throwing a possibility out as far as I can understand.

    Regards,

    “… Is this an issue on my end due to any modifications I have made? …”
    – It’s a theme-specific issue, and I’ve already added the task to our priority to-do list to fix this issue. So, it will be fixed in the next update of the self-hosted version of the Hermes theme.

    I wish I could do the same for a WordPress.com version of the theme. However, I am no longer able to submit updates because of this reason which has affected all premium themes at WordPress.com.

    Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

    Warm regards,

    Wait, does this mean there will never be any more updates or fixes to this theme anymore?

  • tarasdashkevych · Theme Author ·

    Our premium themes are built based on WordPress coding standards, and they should work smoothly with upcoming WordPress releases (unless there will be no major changes in a WordPress core API).

    However, a WordPress.com version of the theme will no longer receive new updates because WordPress.com has closed its premium themes collection, including the possibility of updating these premium themes at WordPress.com (for all theme shops).

    Even though this program has been closed at WordPress.com, our premium themes are still under an active development, meaning self-hosted version of the themes are still receiving updates.

    A self-hosted version of the theme can be purchased at Themes Harbor. Also, WordPress.com requires to have a Business plan in order to be able to upload self-hosted themes (themes not from a WordPress.com collection).

    Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

    Kind regards,
    Taras
