To fix the flashing of Divi number 3 (three) in the drop-down menu

If you are a user of the WordPress Divi theme by “Elegant Themes” and are frustrated that the number “3” lights up instead of the dropdown submenu arrow, how can you fix the problem?

The problem

The problem can occur when you create a new website with Divi and have menu items that you want to include in a dropdown submenu. If your hosting server isn’t lightning fast, you may be scratching your head when your site first loads on the screen. The reason for this is that this number “3” appears briefly before the small drop-down arrow symbol appears in its place. This can be particularly frustrating if you’ve just created a site for a client and they’ve asked you to fix the problem. The main image (above) shows the page after loading and the image below shows what you see while the page is being rendered. In short, the number three that appears first is a font-related issue, as your font will not load before other elements on the page.
