[updated] Lots of blank space below related posts list since latest update

hi Ajay,

Why not either…

(a) make the addition of the clear:both tag an option, with a check box (e.g.: “Check this box, if needed, to avoid overlapping with plugins that follow the related posts”)

or…

(b) remove the option and state that in case there is an overlapping with plugins below the related posts, the clear:both tag (show what it is) can be inserted via the “HTML to display after the list of posts” area.

Since you’ve already begun including the tag, it probably makes most sense to go with the checkbox and perhaps have it be checked by default, so it does not disrupt those who are depending on it due to having it be default in the 2.0+ releases so far.

thanks

That’s a good suggestion. I’ll put this on my list of options to add to customise the output.

Thanks, Ajay! I’ve now upgraded my sites to the current version of your plugin, and patched the plugin’s php file to change <div style=”clear:both”></div> to <div style=””></div>, so it’s working fine for now. Glad we were able to come up with a solution that will work for everyone. Love the plugin, thanks for writing and supporting it!!

Glad to be of help. And, thanks for the review ??

Ajay, is this resolved in the latest updates, or do I need to keep patching each update?

Hi,

This hasn’t been changed in the current version. I am planning a minor release in the next two weeks and I’ll put this on in there with a better and cleaner implementation.

hi Ajay. Good to know! I’ll redo the patch in the meantime, as I accidentally allowed the plugin to update. Regards… –Rick

Hi,

Could you please confirm to me if you change the line to this, does it work?

$clearfix = '<div class="crp_clear"></div>';

I just installed the latest update (v2.1.1), and it seems to work fine now, without any extra space showing up. So I think the vertical spacing issue is now resolved. Thanks for your excellent support!

Your most welcome. Am glad we got this fixed ??

Hi Ajay,

Sorry to report this, but upgrading from v2.1.1 to v2.2.0 once again created the same problem, of the related posts showing up below the bottom of the right-hand column on my page. So I downgraded back to v2.1.1. Please let me know if there’s anything you’d like me to experiment with changing.

Rick, could you please once again show me a screenshot of this? I haven’t changed anything in terms of the clearfix.

I had to push through v2.2.1 to fix a few other bugs including the styles. Could you please check the settings page and set the Styles to “No styles”

I will try 2.2.1 with “No styles” set, and will show you a screenshot of how it looks.
