Thanks Robin! Will try this
Added to child theme functions but no change 🙁
do you have style pack activated ?
I have style pack plugin activate but not the Freshness section. Should it be activated?
yes please, I’m hooking to stuff in that section
Robin!!! It works!!!
Yay!!
Thank you thank you!!
I have been searching and searching for days to find a fix..before I resorted to posting a a message in the forums!
Thank you so very much!!
Great – glad you are fixed – a 5 star review would be great !!
