# CSS Rule in core problem

 * In the latest update (2.26) there is a change in the siteorigin-panels/css/front-
   flex.css file where a new rules has been added:
 * .panel-grid, .panel-grid .panel-grid-cell, .panel-grid .so-panel { position: 
   relative; }
 * This rule is breaking quite a few things in pages built out because if anything
   inside has position absolute then it is causing it to be absolute with respect
   to this instead of the relative element above. In terms of backwards compatibility
   this is a major breaking point (at least for me and I am sure for a lot of other
   folks too).
 * Is there a reason for adding this in? Can it be targeted so that it happens for
   that specific situation which is the reason for introducing it instead of just
   adding it in generically?

 * Hi Waqas,
 * Thanks for reaching out. I’ve taken a closer look at the highlighted CSS, run
   some tests, and come up with a different way of handling the Background Image
   Opacity setting to avoid the need for this change. This CSS will be removed in
   an upcoming release. In the meantime, I’ve created a beta release for you to 
   use until then. You can download this version by [clicking here](https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1pduIUR3JT4Uojc6-wh8JQbRB4xiy0KMH).
 * Before proceeding, do a backup.
 * Navigate to **Plugins > Installed Plugins **and deactivate Page Builder by SiteOrigin,
   and then delete it. Scroll to the top of the page and click **Add New**, **Upload
   Plugin **and upload siteorigin-panels.2.26.1-beta.zip. When prompted, activate
   the plugin.
 * Kind regards,
   Alex
