 * Hi,
 * I have come across a recurring problem and not sure how to fix it for good.
    
   I have a top navigation bar, which I want floating over the first section of 
   the page. The navigation bar is set transparent and I used -150px margin on the
   first section to achieve this. When I edit the page the first section sometimes
   bugs out and only displays a white screen when the page is loaded. Everything
   else loads just fine, including the nav bar. When I adjust the negative margin
   by a few pixels it is fixed, all back to normal. However, this morning someone
   messaged to say that this bug is happening on their end even though it loaded
   just fine on my computer. Any idea how to fix it??? Or is there a better way 
   to display the navbar over the first section?
 * TIA,
    Leona

 * Hi [@leonajevens](https://wordpress.org/support/users/leonajevens/)!
 * Thanks for choosing Neve!
 * Given the behavior that you describe, this issue doesn’t seem to be related to
   the theme itself. The fact that it only happens on some occasions indicates that
   it might be a conflict in your setup, either a (custom) CSS or a plugin conflict.
   You could try to backup your site, deactivate all plugins, then reactivate them
   one by one so you will be able to check if there is a plugin conflict that causes
   this and replace that plugin with an alternative one.
 * Have a nice day!
