Version 1.6 has broken my theme

Have you tried to clear your cache and reload?

“Broke” is a strong word. The recent changes affect CSS due to the addition of a wrapper element. Maybe there’s some CSS conflict that can be resolved.

Thank you Gal for your comments. It was not a cache problem. I have been using this plug in for more than three years and I had to make some changes in the early version to stop ‘Posts by category’ from appearing on a page only site. I was able to fix this by modifiying the code in the PHP file the issue was fixed in ver. 1.0.4.

At that time I had another problem that caused the ‘Page’ heading and bullets colour to appear white, which is the default font colour for TwentyEleven dark theme. I finally fixed this by using some ‘unorthodox’ code to the Sitemap page which allowed my font colour to be applied. That was a little over three years ago.

When I updated the plug-in from ver. 1.5.6. to 1.6, it appears that the WP Editor stripped out the ‘unorthodox’ code that I had written, so long ago. Because this happened late in the evening, I had hoped for a quick solution by reinstalling the old version. However, they do not appear to be available in the repository, SVN or elsewhere. When I looked at the Sitemap page in the Editor, I realised that the code had changed. I reinstalled my old code and the black background reappeared, but the Page heading and bullets colour appeared white again. Then by correcting the unorthodox aspect of the code, I was left with just the ‘Pages’ heading in white. The next day, to fix that I added code to the plug-in PHP file and now all is well.

Malae, rather than inserting unorthodox code into the page content, you can do one of the of the following, or a combination of them:

1. Create a page template, called page-sitemap.php (assuming the page’s slug is “sitemap”) and adapt its code to suit your need
2. Check what classes are assigned to the page, e.g. “page-sitemap”, and use them in your stylesheet to control any special features, e.g. .page-sitemap li { color: black; }
3. Create a shortcode with your special code and put that in the page content before or after the sitemap shortcode
4. Create a shortcode that inserts whatever code you need, as well as the sitemap shortcode, and use that, instead of the sitemap shortcode from the plugin

I hope this helps,
Gal

Gal, Going back three years, my main problem has been that the plug-in wsp-pages-title class uses the default font colour of the theme, but I do not use this colour in my text. My expanation was to explain the history and perhaps I was not clear at the end, where I said that I corrected the ‘unorthodox’ code. The remaining ‘Pages’ heading font color issue was fixed by adding some code to the wsp-pages-title class in the Sitemap PHP file, which was quite simple to do.
