Styles all jacked up, why?

Hi, Peoples_Pundit!

It looks as if another plugin is loading a stylesheet called, “jquery-ui.css”. These additional styles are responsible for changing the styling of the Genesis Tabs area.

It would be worth disabling all other plugins, then reactivating them one at a time to track down the one causing the styling conflict.

If you need any more help at all, feel free to let us know.

Hi Nick,

Thank you so much for responding. I did a File Manager search in cPanel and it turns out the MyBookTable plugin, which I was going to replace with the Genesis Author Plugin anyway, uses this. But when I deactivated it, it still occurs. I turned CloudFlare off and cleared the cache, on HyperCache, too, and now I am looking in the code to see if I can load it conditionally.

Other than that, I am really lost and haven’t been able to pin this down.

You’re welcome!

I revisited your site and cleared my cache, but I still see a reference to https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.11.2/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css?ver=4.2.2 in the source that isn’t present on our News Pro demo site at https://demo.studiopress.com/news/.

Are you sure that the plugin responsible for adding that CSS has been deactived and that all server caches have been cleared?

You could also search for ‘jquery-style-css’ in your plugin folder, just in case more than one refer to the same style, or just turn caching off and temporarily deactivate all plugins while you work to debug this.

Hope you manage to put things right. ??

Nick! My Man! I have fixed it. The site looks perfect and now I can tell the mobile APP man to move forward. Unfortunately, it was as I had dreaded — my paywall plugins — and it was loaded several different times b/c there are multiple extensions. I removed it and don’t see a loss in functionality, but will load it conditionally with something to the effect of:

if ( ! is_home() && ” ) {
wp_enqueue( ‘this stupid script’ );
}

However, I never would have figured this out without your help.

Happy to help! Glad you managed to solve it, and well done for finding a workaround.
