Dealing with flickers/FOUC

Dealing with flickers/FOUC

Loading issues can cause a FOUC (flash of unstyled content). Several specific reasons can explain this.

First of all, this can be due to the way that Elementor embeds its templates.

Why are template stylesheet embedded in the footer and not on the ?

When a page is loading, we cannot recognize which templates have been embedded in the page. This is why we load them in the footer. 

In some cases, this can cause a small flash (flicker or FOUC) when the page loads.

How To Solve FOUC?

You can solve this issue by using one of the following methods:

1. Define the CSS Print Method to be inline instead of using external files. This can be done by going to the Elementor > Settings > Advanced > CSS Print Method > Internal Embedding 

2. The second option is to load the CSS files with an action in the functions.php file of your child theme. For example:

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', function() {
if ( ! class_exists( 'ElementorCoreFilesCSSPost' ) ) {
return;
}
$template_id = 123456;
$css_file = new ElementorCoreFilesCSSPost( $template_id );
$css_file->enqueue();
}, 500 );

Instead of $template_id = 123456, enter the ID of your template, and it will always load in the site』s header. You can use this method for specific pages only.

3. Some optimization plugins can solve this as well.

The above solutions are relevant if you embedded a template or a global widget of Elementor in your header or your footer via your theme options.

Note: Please note that a FOUC (flash of unstyled content) can be experienced when the 「stretch section」 feature is used because this option works with a JS code and flickers can happen while loading scripts.

Note: Flash of unstyled content can also happen if you use large/heavy pictures.

Tip: In some cases, such as when a section of large images is causing the FOUC, a quick workaround can be used. Just add an Entrance Animation, such as Fade In, to the specific SECTION that is having the problem. In many cases, this will easily solve the problem.

Font Family Preview

Font Family Preview

When choosing a font family from any element』s Typography > Family dropdown, each family displays a preview of the font. 

Notice that the preview only works when scrolling through the fonts. This way all the font previews are not loaded on page load. The previews are only generated upon demand. After selecting a font, only that specific font』s resources will load.

How To Become A Beta Tester

How To Become A Beta Tester

Being a beta tester will keep you on the cutting edge of our releases, and help us monitor and fix possible bugs whenever we release a new beta version. 

Beta testers enable us to test the compatibility of the upcoming versions in a variety of hosting configurations. Each beta tester will be running under a unique server setup, with varied combinations of plugins, themes, and custom code, all of which helps us understand which types of configurations may present issues that we can resolve before release. 

Beta testing is especially useful for website developers & designers, as well as plugin developers, as they are able to test the compatibility of their plugin or website with the upcoming version of  Elementor.  

Beta user feedback plays an important role in our ability to improve Elementor.  Feedback about any Issues should be reported in the relevant Github thread.

Important! We recommend only beta testing on a development or staging site, as beta versions are not stable and may break a live production site.

How To Enable Beta Testing Mode

Go to Elementor > Tools > Version Control and look for the section labeled Become A Better TesterBeta Tester: Select Enable to be notified whenever a new beta version of Elementor or Elementor Pro has been released. After enabling, go to Dashboard > Updates and click the Check Again button to make the latest beta version available to you. All subsequent beta update notifications will show up on the Plugins admin page as normal. 

Note: The Beta version will not install automatically. You always have the option to ignore the update notification.

Layout Issue: Padding at the Top and Bottom of Site

Layout Issue: Padding at the Top and Bottom of Site

Solving The Problem Of Mysterious Padding At The Top Or Bottom Of The Website 

This is generally due to padding added by your theme and there is usually an option to remove it via the customizer. Go to Appearance > Customize and look for an option that controls this. You may need to check with your theme』s support or documentation. 

In this example, a theme allows you to enable or disable a Top Bar. If it is enabled, but there are no widgets assigned to it, then it may appear as a blank space. Disabling an empty top bar may solve the problem.

In addition, padding can be applied to the top bar as well, so even if you are using a Top Bar with widgets, there may be padding above and/or below it, based on this setting.

Each theme may handle this differently, so the screenshot is only one possible example and many themes may not have a top bar at all, but they may still have Header or Footer options that allow you to control padding or margins. In addition, the theme may have assigned margins or padding within it』s CSS stylesheet, but doesn』t have an option in Customizer to easily change this. In this case, check with the theme』s support or documentation for help in overriding the CSS.
