    Hi Mr. developer ??

    In our use of your plugin we have run into a situation where the Divi theme’s vertical menu covered the cookie info bar. You can use the https://mitja.splet.arnes.si to test this.
    I have changed the z-index from 9999 to 99999 to set the cookie bar on top again. 10000 would have been OK too, but I went higher just in case.
    If you could change the z-index in the next release that would be great.

    #cookie-law-info-bar {
    border: 0;
    font-size: 10pt;
    margin: 0 auto;
    padding: 5px 0;
    text-align: center;
    width: 100%;
    z-index: 999999;
}
#cookie-law-info-again {
    font-size: 10pt;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 2px 10px;
    text-align: center;
    z-index: 999999;
    cursor: pointer;
}

    Kind regards,
    Mitja

    Hi, glad you got it working ?? Just to note though that the plugin isn’t trying to provide CSS that matches every single website as there are some where that z-index would be inappropriate. What you can do is write some custom CSS to handle that case, which is what it seems you did. All the best, Richard

    I see there is a reference or two missing from my initial post ??
    I changed the z-index value in the CSS of the Cookie Law Info plugin not in the theme’s CSS.
    The site mitja.splet.arnes.si already has the fixed plugin, so the cookie bar stays on top.
    I have screenshots of before and after for another site.

    It seemed like a good idea to raise the z-index value in the plugin itself to make stay on top.
    My understanding was that the cookie bar should be shown on top of all other content. Is that not so?

    Hi, that is correct, but my point is that the z-index value is arbitrary and each website might set a different value. You can set your own with some custom CSS if you need to. A plugin needs to work with the majority of websites but there will always be cases where the CSS or settings need to be adjusted manually. So I don’t think the plugin needs to be changed in this case- for example, what if some theme sets a z-index of 100001? It’d end up being a crazy race to the highest z-index value. You can always manually adjust the z-index to suit.

    Hope that clarifies.
    Regards, Richard

    There would indeed be a z-index race ??
    Thanks for the background explanation.
