Translate widget alters header

    Using Jetpack version 4.4.2. My theme is a child of Plane by WordPress (https://wordpress.com/themes/plane/). I added the Translate widget and performed a translation. After I did, my blog’s header appeared taller and the header photo was larger. After cancelling translation and viewing the site in its native language, the header layout stayed extra-large. When I deactivated the Translate widget, the site resumed its normal layout.

    My site is at https://cutetropolis.com. The header should be about the same height that you see in the Plane demo site (https://planedemo.wordpress.com/).

    I don’t notice any issues on your site right now. Could you try to add the widget again, and then check for Javascript errors on the page, as explained here:

    Let me know what you find!

    I turned the debug flag to true and loaded the page several times with the Chrome javascript console open. The error did recur, but I didn’t see error messages in the page or the console that seemed to relate directly to the Translate plugin.

    One thing I did notice is that the Plane theme applies a CSS value of min-height:220px to the div.site-header and that any background graphic in .site-header is cropped to that height. Something about the Translate plugin is causing .site-header to grow taller than 220px and the image appears taller as well.

    If I were to change the min-height:220px to just height:220px I could preserve the constraint and solve the problem. I would guess this issue is unique to the Plane theme.

    I’m not actually interested in using the Translate widget right now. I just added it to my site temporarily to see how it worked. Thanks for the troubleshooting tips.

    Thanks for the extra details.

    If you ever get around to try the fix you suggested, don’t hesitate to come back and post the results here, so other Plane users may benefit from your help.

    Thanks!
