I’m having trouble with my WooCommerce theme setup and could really use some help.
I recently set up the “Organik” theme on my development site and imported all the demo content. I chose the “Organik House” layout as my main homepage template.
The problem I’m facing is with the header display. On the original demo website, the header has a nice transparent background that changes to a darker overlay when you scroll down the page. However, on my site, the header just shows up as a solid white background all the time.
I’ve already gone through the theme customization options multiple times. The header transparency setting is definitely enabled and set to transparent, but it’s still not working properly.
I’m thinking this might be a CSS conflict or maybe I missed some important setting during the import process. Has anyone else experienced this issue with WooCommerce themes? Any suggestions on what I should check next would be really appreciated.
This transparency issue often stems from conflicting CSS declarations that get introduced during theme setup. I encountered something similar with another WooCommerce theme where the header transparency worked fine in preview mode but failed on the actual site. What fixed it for me was checking the custom CSS section in the WordPress customizer - sometimes leftover CSS from previous themes or custom modifications can override the transparency settings with a solid background-color property. Try inspecting the header element with your browser’s developer tools and look for any CSS rules forcing a white background. You might find something like ‘background-color: #ffffff !important’ that needs to be removed or overridden. Another thing to verify is whether your child theme’s style.css file has any header-related styles that could be interfering with the parent theme’s transparency functionality.
I had this exact same problem when I installed Organik last year. The issue was that the theme’s header JavaScript wasn’t loading properly after the demo import. Check your browser’s developer console for any JS errors - usually there’s a conflict with another plugin blocking the scroll event that triggers the transparency effect. In my case, it was a security plugin that was preventing the header scripts from executing. Try temporarily disabling your plugins one by one to isolate the culprit. Also double-check that the homepage template is actually set to the correct demo layout in your WordPress reading settings, not just selected in the customizer.
sounds like a classic css caching issue tbh. try clearing your browser cache first, then check if youre using any caching plugins like wp rocket or w3 total cache - they can mess with theme styles. also make sure no child theme css is overriding the header transparency rules.
