Scott, et al,

I asked around and found a solution to the gray overlay problem.  I used the “Add Admin CSS” plugin and added some CSS to the “Admin CSS” window within the plugin:

.ui-widget-overlay.ui-front {
display: none !important;
}

Then, I navigated off the Theme Options page within CBox and cleared my cache.   <span class=”st”>Voilà</span>!   No more gray overlay.

Thanks to Michael and Michelle over at WPMUdev for this solution.  Thanks also to you, Scott and to you, Ray and Christian for being there and for doing all the heavy lifting on CBox and its support.  I really appreciate your effort.

Cheers!

Scott, et al,

Whoops!  I meant to type “https://…&#8221;   and    “using the “s” after “http”.  Mea culpa.  I was typed it correctly when I tested it, just typed the question wrong here.  DOH!  O-o

Yours, again!

Scott,

Thank you for the helpful link.  I did go read it, and then I clicked on the “Script” tab within Firebug, but I didn’t see anything labeled as an error (no red-circle “X” or the word, “error”).

There are some other weird things going on with the site as well.  Perhaps they’re related?:

• BuddyPress doesn’t show up in the list of Plugins, but it shows up in the dashboard. (!!!)
• When I go to shttp://www.mysite.com, the site appears, but with no theme, but when I go to http://www.mysite.com (not using the “s” before “http”), the site renders with the active theme.

Thanks again, and thanks to Ray and Christian, as well.  I’m truly grateful for the help.

Yours,
–Melynda

Hi, Scott!

Thanks for the (very) speedy reply!

Okay, yes, I do have Firebug installed, but I’m not adept at using it, by any means.  I ~think~ what you mean is this:

When I’m in the “HTML” tab and I highlight the gray overlay, I see this, below:

<div class=”ui-widget-overlay ui-front”></div>

I don’t know how to use Firebug to check for Javascript errors.  Could you instruct me?  Taking a stab at it, here: when I look under Console>Errors within Firebug, there’s nothing there.  Is that the place I should be looking?  Probably not.  😉

Thanks for helping, Scott!  I’m truly grateful.

Hello, all!

I’ve got a fresh install of CBox with WP 4.1., and I’m using the “Commons in a Box” theme.  I run Firefox on an iMac.

When I go to Dashboard>Appearance>CBox Theme Options> and attempt to modify the header’s logo image (in the “Header Options” section), the top part of my screen gets a gray overlay (please see the screenshot), and I cannot click on anything beneath the overlay.  Anything not grayed out on the bottom half of my screen still works fine.

This problem happens when I click on “Upload,” “Select,” or “Zoom,” but it doesn’t happen when I select the “Disable image, including default” option.

I’ve tried:

• clearing my cache
• disabling all plugins except the ones that came with CBox
• switching to Safari

but no joy.  The gray overlay still appears, disabling my ability to change the settings.

My only option at this point is to turn the logo image off entirely, which doesn’t trigger the gray overlay, and to use a header background image instead, but I fear some browsers won’t display it properly.

Can anyone suggest a fix for this problem?  Has anyone encountered anything similar to this?  I’ve never seen something like this before.

Thank you for being here, and thanks in advance for taking a look at the problem.
