I've been experiencing a layout issue on my WordPress site. The margins are fine when I'm logged in, but they completely disappear when I log out. The header and footer look okay, and this only seems to happen on certain devices—everything works fine on Android, iPad, and PC, but not on iPhone or some laptops. It's really confusing and frustrating, as I can't pinpoint why this is happening. Any thoughts on why this might occur?

You might need to wrap part of your code in a check to see if the user is logged in. If it isn't coded correctly, it could mess up your layout when someone isn't logged in.
If you're using Elementor, there could be a conflict with some plugins causing this issue. That’s why I stopped using it—so many issues with layouts! Check to see if any plugins are causing problems.
I’m using Kadence Pro and keep my plugins minimal, but I’ll definitely look into it just in case.
This isn’t a stupid question at all! It sounds like your CSS or layout is dependent on some user-specific data. When you're logged out, certain elements may be missing or their dimensions might change, causing the layout to shift. You might want to check if there's a conditional rendering issue in the code that alters the DOM structure based on whether a user is logged in or not.
I’ll definitely check that! I hadn’t thought about server cache either. I think I'm having a 'step away from the computer' kind of day, lol.
Clearing your cache might help. Make sure to do it on the server side, too! It often fixes weird layout problems.
Thanks for the tip, I'll give that a shot!
That sounds like a possibility. I plan to rewrite it fresh on a new post to see if it resolves the issue.
