Issue when also using Advanced Custom Fields

    Hi
    I have recently updated to version 4.0.0. My site also uses Advanced Custom Fields. The update has caused a significant problem, which I can reverse by Deactivating the WP Meta SEO Plugin. I really wanted to send before and after screenshots to illustrate the problem but can see no way to do this. My best description of the problem is that the text size of the ‘Instructions’ above the fields has doubled. In the case of simple text fields there no longer is a visible ‘box’ into which text can be entered or existing text editing. If there is existing text it is not visible on the page.
    I like the relative simplicity of your plugin and also like the sound of the improvements you are implementing. Hope the issue with ACF can be resolved.
    Will forward screenshots if you can advise how.
    Many Thanks,
    David

    Hi,

    Thanks for reporting. As you may have seen we’ve made a lot of changes in the latest version and we would like to check that ACF problem ASAP.
    Indeed it would be easier to understand the problem with a screenshot in your case, can’t yo use Google Drive or Dropbox to share a link a screenshot?

    Thanks.

    Believe or not I don’t use either. Hopefully these links will let you view the images. Please let me know and I will try somethings else. If you can view I hope they make sense.

    Hi,

    It seems it’s a CSS conflict indeed. we will fix that in the upcoming version.

    Thanks for reporting.

    Makes sense, glad you’ve found it and very relieved it wasn’t something I’d caused and had to sort! Look forward to tring out the new features.
    Many Thanks

    Hi
    Sorry for delayed response – been busy and missed the email.
    Mix of yes and no re fixing issue. The field text box is now visible and can be edited so in that regard all fine. What is still different is the text styling. That is still pretty much as in the screen shot, the original 10px(?) italic text is being over-ridden and is now both larger and normal text. Will put another screenshot for download tomorrow if you wish but must dash just now. Just wanted to post something back asap.

    Hi
    If it helps, the style changes I can identify which are caused by activating the Meta plugin are:
    font-size: 13px; inceases to font-size: 15px;
    line-height: 1.4em; changes to line-height: 28.2px;
    also visually font-style: italic; changes to font-style: normal; although font-style info is not showing in the web-developer tool I have. (I am a novice!).

    If I can do more this end to help just let me know. Happy searching.
    Regards,
    David

    Hi
    I was doing some editing tonight and noticed that the following appears under the ‘search engine title’ box:
    Snippet variable: %title%, %date%, %id%, %sitename%, %sitedesc%, %page%, %currenttime%, %currentdate%, %currentday%, %currentmonth%, %currentyear%
    Search engine description

    Also noticed that if I use near max 69 characters then the final characters overflow the box. Just mention this incase this is a styling issue related to the ACF thing.
    Regards,
    David
