Hi guys,

The exact changes were as follows

Original:

.site-content article {
	border-bottom: 4px double #ededed;
	margin-bottom: 72px;
	margin-bottom: 5.142857143rem;
	padding-bottom: 24px;
	padding-bottom: 1.714285714rem;
	word-wrap: break-word;
	-webkit-hyphens: auto;
	-moz-hyphens: auto;
	hyphens: auto;
}

Edited:

.site-content article {
	border-bottom: none;
	margin-bottom: 72px;
	margin-bottom: 5.142857143rem;
	padding-bottom: 24px;
	padding-bottom: 1.714285714rem;
	word-wrap: break-word;
	-webkit-hyphens: auto;
	-moz-hyphens: auto;
	hyphens: auto;
}

That was the extent of my changes

I had been clearing the cache and trying on different computers as well as Google Chrome’s incognito mode all to no avail

On the advice of a friend I went through the process of deactivating my plugins one by one, and it turned out that, interestingly, this was to do with the launchpad plugin I was using called ‘Launchpad by Obox’

Still not at all sure why this is happening, but at least I’ve found a solution.

Thanks for your responses and assistance!

If anyone finds this in hope of a solution: deactivate your plugins and see if you can locate the problem

Will this resolve the issue?

Or is this just to have something to revert back to in the event that everything goes horribly awry?

I’ve taken a couple of back ups of the theme if it’s the latter ??

Ahh that’s where the issue lies.

I was adding the class to the image tag

Thanks very much for your help ??

Hi RavanH,

Thanks for your response,

Something I may have neglected to mention is that my video is displayed on my site as an image, then once you click the image, it takes you to the video. My intentions are for the video to display in a FancyBox when the image is clicked.

Is this possible?

After narrowing this down to a Chrome issue, I managed to find both the cause and the solution.

Chrome seems to automatically add an ‘outline’ property to text input elements. Apparently this is for usability’s sake, as it helps the user understand which element they are clearly focused on.

I thought the blinking line and the fact that they must have clicked there would have made it obvious, but the solution is to add your own outline: none; property to any element you wish to remove this from

Apologies for the pointless thread

I ended up replacing the CSS myself to fix this issue.

I would love to have posted here explaining exactly what I changed, but I can’t for the life of me remember.
Just letting you all know the issue has been resolved

Hi James,

Thank you very much for the quick reply,

This has resolved my issue.

Ta muchly!

The shortcode works, the problem is that the use for showing subcategories is not documented, so as far as I know anyone who tries it is just left to take shots in the dark

I could be horribly wrong, and I’m hoping I am, since WooCommerce is a fantastic plugin and it would be a shame if it were ruined by shoddy documentation

I’ll give building my own loop a try though, cheers

Bump.

I know I’m not supposed to do that, but 1 week later I’m still unfortunately horribly stuck.

Does anyone have any clue at all if this is even possible?

I can’t tell if the documentation is lacking or if it’s just impossible to only show subcategories

Hi Gloria,

Sorry about that. Fear not, I’m not the type to give up on anything ??
Just been working hard (or was it hardly working?)

You don’t need to substitute. Take a look here, I’ve been playing around with some things with the Google Inspector

You can still use Palatino Linotype

Haha precisely. It has a time and a place, just not now or here ??

Have you thought of setting up a Google Font?
https://www.google.com/fonts/

You can find some beautiful fonts there and they’re very simple to add to WordPress

Just a thought

That link returns a bad request. Is it an email?
We won’t be able to view it if so

Honestly, I, for one, don’t think it’s completely beyond redemption, but there’s a time and a place for everything.

If you want your site to be taken seriously, I wouldn’t use Comic Sans. Every time I look at it, my first thought is ‘work will set you free’. Maybe a little sinister, but that’s almost what it is. A misleading installation of false hope.

Regarding the hover colour, my guess is that the theme you’re using defaults to a very dark grey. It’s very changeable once you know how. What browser are you using?

Regarding the blog / site design, consistence is a very important part of experiencing your site. Customers are easily frightened by anything with a dramatic change of appearance, and while your current fans may stick around through thick and thin, newer viewers may be quick to turn around and run

Though there’s no sense trying to make one look like the other unless you have the time to, but for what it’s worth, I would suggest making the site look more like the blog

EDIT:
Your font should be set as a global constant by which all elements conform unless otherwise specified

Please don’t use Comic Sans. For the love of all that is holy.

EDIT:
Aside from that, I like the floating Social Network stuff. I like the colour scheme, though as has been said before, the hover colour of the navbar is entirely too dark

Additionally, for the sake of your readers and your sanity, you should make either the blog match the site or the site match the blog

Sorry if that all sounds a little blunt

That’s done it

Ta muchly, Phil
I would never have figured this one out on my own!
