    Hello, my site was working fine then I upgraded to wordpress 6.9 from 6.8.3. If my you click on my site link, you will now see big emoji icons, and download buttons that look large and obscure in size.

    One important detail to note that may help. If you click on refresh, you will see this particular page flicker and the correct page look can be noted for a quick millisecond of time before the incorrect page settings are loaded. Its as if some setting is loading at a certain stage, after my page correctly loads so it is over riding my page.

    I could downgrade back to 6.8.3 but how sustainable is this if future upgrades present the same problem?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    I downgraded back to 6.8.3 so its all working but please developers address this issue. Everything on my site looked irregular.

    yes. sometimes upgrading to latest version of wordpress will have conflict about the plugins/themes. its much better that before we upgrade the wordpress version, check first the compatibility of plugins/themes

    I tried to recreate this with your Storefront theme, but unfortunately without success. However, I can see that your project is missing an important style specification for these graphics. This actually comes from WordPress itself and should not be missing.

    My recommendation would therefore be to deactivate the plugins you are using on a trial basis to see which one might be responsible. I would actually rule out the theme as the cause, as it works for me.

    It seems I had auto update on so you can now see that I upgraded to wordpress 6.9 and will see on my website the problems.
    I tried disabling all my plugins, all of them, and I purged my cache and reloaded the page but this did not work.

    I can’t reproduce it on my end either. My guess would be that it has something to do with problems loading styles and scripts in WP 6.9 – but, as in this case, that’s hard to verify. My recommendation would be to use WP 6.8.3 for now and wait for 6.9.1, which should fix the issue (if it is related).

    Your right. I just tried to make a new local website as a fresh install and copied the CSS and html over and it worked! So now the question is why am I having so much trouble with this real version lol.

    I think you might be right. Could this explain why the correct version of my website loads for a brief millisecond, then it flickers into the incorrect version with big icons as you see if you click on it now.

    No, I don’t think that explains it. What you perceive as flickering is that the page is first loaded and then the JavaScript it contains is executed. Only the JavaScript sets the display of the icons correctly. However, since the style for the icons is not correct here, it appears as if it flickers briefly.

    Ok good news! Its fixed! But what a time waster this was because you have to play with so many different factors. Apparently my local back up site also auto updated but it updated perfectly with no issues. So I just copied over the site from local to live and re-imported the database to overwrite previous tables and it worked like a charm.

    Interesting. I’m glad it’s been resolved – but the solution makes it even stranger to me 😀
