[SOLVED] Nightmare: main page autoscrolls down upon loading, only on Chrome
 

It ruins the entire aspect of the blog. I don't know the cause, I tried to force an autoscroll to top inside the footer but with no success. It doesn't happen on other browsers (tested on IE, Opera and Firefox), but only on Chrome and it's pretty nasty, because a lot of people use Chrome now. It seems strange I didn't find it already reported on this forum. It also happens when clicking the Preview. As expected, it's a bug. I made a test with Montezuma and I get the same scroll down, so it has to be some kind of rogue developer code. :( Running Wordpress 3.3.2 with Atahualpa 3.7.9 .

try it on Chrome: http://thebinarystandard.com

By 'autoscroll'? do you mean the slight delay and movement of the page while the logo image appears?

That is what I see in Safari and Chrome but not in FireFox.

aslso, check the name of the file you have in the atahualpa/images/header/ folder - remember, no spaces or quotes allowed in a file name

Your site auto scrolls to the bottom in Chrome for me too. I would suspect a plugin or code you have added as I have not seen this issue before.

This sounds like a windows specific issue since it doesn't auto scroll on the mac

Hi, I just open my computer today and went straight to the website: ClustrMap is not appearing anymore, it has like an "invalid picture" logo instead, and page doesn't scroll to bottom anymore...

However, after logging in, page started to scroll down; ClustrMap is still "offline"

Logout and even removing ClustrMap did not solve the issue.

Active plugins are only Google Analytics for WP and WP-Table Reloaded.

one step at a time
(1) - fix he header image file name - no spaces ot single quotes.

Alright, done, removed spaces from all pics in wp-content/themes/atahualpa/images

(2) disable all plugins
(3) set dashboard->settings->reading->Blog pages show at most to '1'

your header image is still not showing up - what do you have set at ato->Header Image->Header Image: Height?

All done. Header looking ass ugly, set height to 0.

what version of windoze?

Windows Server 2008 R2 (the Server edition of 7)

ok, I've can now see it and have a local copy of the page and it is doing it there too. Let me play awhile. Warning this may take a bit since my grandson is about to arrive for the day...(Happy grin)

ok, the issue has to do with the jquery.js that you are using. Are you at the latest version of WP?
The reason I ask is that you are using version 1.7.1 of jquery.js and 1.7.2 is the latest and it may fix the issue.

No, my Wordpress is 3.3.2. So I should update to the latest wordpress and also talk with the hoster for the jquery issue?

Yes upgrade to WP 3.4.2 wich will upgrade jquery.js to version 1.7.2 (it is part of wordpress)

Wordpress updated to 3.4.2. No change.

I just opened your site in Chrome on Windows and it doesn't auto-srcoll now.

also working for me now. make sure you cleared your caches.

Thank you guys (especially Juggledad)! I cleared the cache, it seems to be working!
