After the recent Divi 3.0.69 update, I have noticed that the animated icons with the Blurb modules and the icons and numbers with the Counter module stopped working in Microsoft Edge browser. Only the animated icons. After a bit of investigation, it looked like the issue was related with the Autoptimize plugin and the JavaScript it optimized. The animations are in Divi’s frontend-builder-scripts.js, but in the optimization process, Edge was picking the .et-waypoint: {opacity: 0;} CSS rule either later than it should, either not moving forward to the next animation rule.
Looking for a solution for this on the plugin’s support section on WordPress, I got to a thread where the same problem was brought into attention. Luckily, one the plugin’s authors provided a solution for the problem in the form of a function that will load the optimized code earlier.
add_filter('autoptimize_filter_js_defer','sw_override_defer',10,1);
function sw_override_defer($defer) {
return " ";
}
If you have similar problems with the Autoptimize optimized JS, just drop that function into your child theme’s functions.php file and it may fix the issues. This may also apply to some other themes too, since is not exactly a Divi problem.
wow this solved my issue. I just disabled auto optimize and my problem disappeared, thanks!
Glad it was of help.
Not my case. Blurb text is not visible anymore
In our case, the issue described in this article was fixed after a few updates (a few months after this was written), but I don’t know if it was a Divi update or an Autoptimize update the one that fixed it. I don’t know if in your case it’s the same issue causing the problem, but I’ll be glad to give you a hand if you want.
I had this problem and solved it but now I realize that the image galleries I have doesn’t are shown in the web I don’t know what t do because with this CSS code:
.et-waypoint { opacity: 1; }
I solved the problem of any image with animation appeared it, but now aer the galleries.
Hello, Judith.
This .et_waypoint { opacity: 1; } should not affect the galleries, so I’m thinking maybe it is because a similar issue like the one that stopped the blurbs and icons from working in the first place. Anyway, drop me a line on Messenger at https://m.me/Ovidiu.Zeicu or WhatsApp using the button in the bottom right corner and I will take a look.
