Yes, I did edit code but in child theme. And, yes I did add some plug-ins but then turned them off, and deleted them. After that I upgraded the parent theme version hoping that would flush any bugs out, no luck. I will look at my custom CSS code that I used in the Theme Options sections, perhaps that may do it?
I appreciate your quick reply and advice. This is a great theme, and your support is great even at this free level, thank you very much! This site is a test and if all goes well I will look forward to upgrading to the Pro version!
