Why is HTML not active?

Hi Brandon,

I'd like to point out that your social links in the footer area are also inactive because of this problem. I can see that you've updated the z-index for the "Find Us" box but you're going to have to keep doing that for everything that's put in the wrong spot on that left side.

There is something covering it but it's not a div. It's css generated content on the outermost div.

.site:before {
  background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);
  content: "";
  display: block;
  height: 100%;
  left: 0;
  min-height: 100%;
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  width: 182px;
  z-index: 2;
}

In the original theme this was meant to be a background strip for the "secondary" div. I think at some point you must have given this a transparent color because it interfered with your design. The reason your brown box and the green nav above it worked was because you had placed those inside the secondary div. Anything inside this secondary div will not be covered by the strip because its set at a z-index of 2 as well.

Your "Find Us" box was placed with the main content area which is at a lower level than the strip and so it was covered. Same thing with the social links. You placed your additional footer content outside of the <footer> element and so it is also lower than the strip.

I think given your restructuring of this, the original purpose of this strip is no longer relevant and can be removed. Given it's transparent color you're not really using it anymore. Your light brown main content background is now serving as the entire background for that area. I would say comment out the css above so you can bring it back in if needed. Then your social links will work and you don't really need to set the z-index to 10 on the other items.

Or you could give your footer wrapper a higher z-index so the social links are above this strip.

Related to structure -

I recommend that you move your additional footer content back inside the footer element. It looks like the black strip above the wordpress link was meant for supplementary footer content. You could move your social links and site navigation inside that container and change its background to white. This would also get your social links working again because the footer was set at a higher index than the sidebar strip.
