I might just be dumb, and completely disregarded/forgot to check those setting conditions.
(My only excuse is I work at one the only grocery stores in my rural tn area, and my university classes have been transitioned to online. I can only work on my coding in free time/when I need to be distracted/feel like the world is burning)
So I may very much have done such a thing as you suggested.
Thank you for pointing that out. I will have to recheck my coding when I get off work.
Thank you so much!!! 
The issue seems to have been resolved. Move along, folks. Don’t cross the yellow line.
