edit link is broken

    Has anyone experienced a problem where the EDIT link in the orders section of the backend is split onto several lines?

    I have this on multiple sites and the only fix is to turn off any columns (in screen options) which appear to the right of it, then it displays as EDIT rather than:

    E
    d
    IT

    I can’t seem to find anything in common between my sites which is doing this.

    Thanks.

    Sure. I might be going mad, but how do I do that in this forum? If I try and paste an image it doesn’t work and I can’t see an attachment option – am I doing something wrong?

    Thanks.

    You could host the image yourself by uploading it to your WordPress site (media) and pasting the link here. You can also use a 3rd party service like https://www.imgur.com .

    Thanks – here is an example. https://totalsurf.net/images/edit.png

    Now that’s odd. I would say it is a CSS issue, but…

    the ‘Ed’ part of ‘Edit’ is outside it’s table column. I don’t think that’s a css issue but rather a broken DOM. Unfortunately I’m not a css / design expert. Can you use the element inspector of your browser to see if the DOM is ok? I.e. the contents of every cell should be within a <td>

    This is probably caused by a plugin (or theme) that messes up the columns of your orders page. FireFox has a style editor which allows you to disable certain css on-the-fly maybe that can help you finding the issue.

    It’s also possibly a minification issue. Do you have minification plugins enabled?

    We haven’t heard back from you in a couple of weeks, so I’m going to mark this as resolved – if you have any further questions, please start a new thread.

    Thanks!
