    Hello,
    on my site MSZ.IT I direcly installed the latest version of the template and I noticed 2 interesting facts:
    1-when I go to appearance -> customise I do not see the blue pen icon on the page previev
    (not so important)

    2-When I go to the menu option I do not see the “Menu Item Style” options
    http://prnt.sc/ov8ruo

    Any clues?
    On my other website, readitalians.uk, where I installed the previous version of the template and then updated to the new one I see the ”blue pen” and the menu style options.

    Kind regards,
    Marco

    Hello. Tell me please, do those two websites use different hosting providers? And what PHP versions to they use?

    Hello,

    both the sites are hosted on the same server. The PHP version is 7.3 for both.
    I even excluded temporarily for msz.it the Cloudflare caching so when you browse it you go straight to the server.
    I notice the following error when I go to the customizer in chrome console:

    Uncaught Error: Illegal id for widget partial.
    at f.initialize (customize-preview-widgets.min.js:1)
    at f.e.Class (customize-base.min.js:1)
    at f [as constructor] (customize-base.min.js:1)
    at new f (customize-base.min.js:1)
    at HTMLDivElement.<anonymous> (customize-selective-refresh.min.js:1)
    at Function.each (jquery.js:2)
    at a.fn.init.each (jquery.js:2)
    at Object.c.addPartials (customize-selective-refresh.min.js:1)
    at Function.<anonymous> (customize-selective-refresh.min.js:1)
    at i (jquery.js:2)
    I hope it can give you some clues 🙂
    Kind regards,
    Marco

    Hello,

    I was able to solve the problem n.2 (no menu style options):
    I have a look in the database and I found that in the table wp_options there was an option called theme_mods_evolve-plus: the value was full of references to files of the old evolve theme, especially gif and jpg in the evolve/library/ folder.
    I so switched to another theme, deleted the row about theme_mods_evolve-plus, unsistalled evolve plus.
    Then I reinstalled it again and the problem n.2 was solved 100%.
    I reconfigured some options of the theme and all seems to work…
    Just the problem mentioned at point 1 is unsolved yet but it is minor compared to the other one.
    Kind regards,
    Marco

    That’s a very interesting situation. Do you remember how you updated the theme from the old version to the new one? Because if there is a problem with the update mechanism that leaves such data in the database, we would like to correct it, of course.

    Hello,

    the main difference between readitalians.uk (all seems to work fine) and msz.it was that on readitalians.uk the EVOLVE theme (free) was never installed: I installed directly the EVOLVE PLUS.
    When the I treid to upgrade the theme to the current version I got the problem that WordPress was thinking that the update was not installed and asked me to update again. I solved the problem editing manually a CSS as per your suggestion.

    On MSZ.IT instead the Evolve theme was there already, then I installed Evolve Plus: directly the current version.

    Anyway now the things are going better on MSZ.IT, still the famous blue pen icon does not want to appear and I noticed some glitches with the ”avatar icon”: if I turn on the author avatar icon on it works only when I go inside the article and not on the home page. But, if I chose that I want to see the avatar on the Article + Archive then it appears on the home page on all the articles and on the article itself…(that is what I want).
    I still need to drill down some options and fine-tune it.
    One feedback: the headers (header 1, 2 3….) setting are not very clear and they drive me crazy, but it could be a personal perception.
    Kind regard,
    Marco S. Zuppone

    Thanks for the feedback(s). We will take care of the theme-related problems one by one as soon as possible. As for the Google mail – that’s strange, but we will look into it as well.
