White Bar and Scrolling Issue

Hello: When I open the site (idsc.miami.edu) a white bar about 1.5 inches tall shows up under the menu. It goes away if I refresh but I can’t figure out to how to get it to go away. Also, that throws off the scrolling (images attached). The different section move up (the word Events disappears into white–3rd image). Can anyone help with this, please? I also pasted all the Additional CSS in case something there is causing this . . . Many thanks.

Hi there

I see your problem, bg image is shifted down, have you tried to temporarily remove your customization CSS code?

You can also try this new CSS code:

#shapely_home_parallax-2 {
background: url(https://idsc.miami.edu/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Announcement-data-science-UM-colors-1.jpg);
background-attachment: fixed;
}
