So, CSS is not my strength. I need some help. I'm developing a Wordpress Plugin, and while I have the PHP down, I need help with getting the CSS to work with me. The page can be seen at http://www.airupt.com/?page_id=386. The issue is that I have called a shortcode for the search box below the call for the search results. This is for demo purposes only and the link will die soon after this is fixed.
Please type something in and search, you will see what I mean. The Search box background will appear at the top of the results, over the first one. The search box itself will appear after the results, as expected.
Can anyone tell me where the code went wrong and how it can be fixed? :D
Are you testing this in more than one browser? It doesn't seem like it. To answer your question:
give it a float:left;, like the rest of the elements in the <div class="entry">
.search-custom {
float:left;
/* all the other styles for search-custom that it normally has*/
}
I'd say rather set clear:both on .search-custom.
overflow:hidden will get you into more/different trouble because your sizes are a bit out
Set overflow:hidden; on your .search-custom div, then go get yourself a copy of Firebug. It'll get you out of 80% of these jams.

At first, it looks simple, and at the end of scroll event, a margin (or padding) will be applied at the top.
This is useful when there is a sticky element at the top. Then when a link is clicked and scroll down to somewhere on the page, it's nice to have this element "skipped" by the scrolling.
This article explains it pretty well: https://css-tricks.com/fixed-headers-and-jump-links-the-solution-is-scroll-margin-top/
I could make it work on really simple examples, and that works. However, I am trying to make this work on a normal website, and I can't. I think there is something not clear for me (or in general?) about how it works.
Please have a look here: https://meowapps.com/media-cleaner/tutorial/#Media_Library_Scan
When a link is clicked on the right, it scrolls but the scroll-padding-top is completely ignored. I have tried many techniques, moving the CSS property in many different places in the code, but that doesn't do anything.
Do you see what's wrong? Ideally, it would be great to find real the cause and maybe have an explanation why it doesn't work in this case and describes what's that case actually is.
Thanks a lot :)
scroll-margin is not useful if scroll behavior is controlled by JS
Looking at your page source, I found easy-table-of-contents WordPress plugin, which relies on smooth-scroll jQuery script. Also, I don't see scroll-behavior: smooth; in your body either (see this MDN page for reference).
It looks to me that your anchor link is not controlled by CSS but by JavaScript. And, as you'd know, when something is controlled by JavaScript, any relevant style declaration via CSS might be ignored.
What to do?
I honestly don't know. Perhaps you could replace the table of contents plugin with something that gives you a finer control. Perhaps you could refactor the said plugin yourself. In any case, should you need to keep the jQuery dependence and a particular WP plugin, you might have a tough luck for this fix.
I got your point, sorry for a long answer but I am sure this will clear your doubt with the output.
scroll-margin-top and scroll-padding-top define the amount of space to be given from within the element or from outside the element whenever a scroll event occurs.
Sometimes we see some text gets cut from the viewport such that it's half visible.
To avoid that kind of thing scroll-margin-top is helpful.
when no scroll event happens:
when scroll event happens but with scroll-padding-top:20px;
see an example from MDN Web Docs
Now applying this logic to your link example
When we click on the link it takes us to the specified div,
But when the scroll-padding-top is applied the output looks like this it gets stuck to the top of the viewport, even if we specify a certain margin with CSS the output is the same because the padding is applied from within the element:
When we apply scroll-margin-top we get the desired output on the link click event or scroll event:
a{
font-size:30px;
text-transform:capitalize;
}
#down{
scroll-margin-top:30px;
background-color:royalblue;
height:100px;
width:50%;
}
<center>
down
<section style="height:1000px;"></section>
<div id="down"></div>
<section style="height:1000px;"></section>
</center>

Correct me if I am wrong anywhere.
I have gone thru the site and searched for the last two hours and am trying to get a wordpress site to work correctly. Everything is working except the white box that holds the content will not go to the bottom no matter what I try. I have tried all the options here but I think it may be that I do not understand enough about css or the divs are all messed up from the template. Can someone please help out with what I have crossed. My page is located at http://craftedimages.com/AA/aae-events/ and you will see the white box on the right that does not extend down. I got this template and have been modifying it of which there were already lots of problems. Thanks for your time ahead of time.
Try adding
#page{
height:1035px;
}
..to the css - the sidebar is this height and although it is auto that is the given height
Hope this helps
Using chrome inspect element. I can see that your <div id="wrapper"></div> has the style
height:auto;
set it to
height:100%;
That should fix it. Only do that for this page. The other pages are set to auto because it forms to their content. This page doesn't have enough content to reach the bottom like the rest of the pages.
I've been trying very hard to get a sticky footer to work in all browsers, for a Wordpress Theme, and I thought I had succeeded... until I realise that a middle table is being pushed to the absolute left of the browser window. The class is still:
position:center;
So I've guessed that it might be some footer CSS overriding it, but I can't find it! Can I be saved?
Here's a link to my temporary site. As you can see, not only are the test posts all to the left, the footer is now also not working as it should! So I've actually made it worse now.
Sorry for all that, I'm not sure what's causing the issue!
Hope you can help.
If you put text-align:center; in your #uptop?
The thing is that I would not suggest to embed table in divs since you broke the strict markup rules on the page. And after it is more difficult to find what causes this problems.
I am having trouble getting the facebook pop out dialog to be on top of my nav bar and slideshow here:
http://d14599.u62.c14.ixinstant.com
I have search for several hours and all the solutions have not seemed to work. Here is a list of what I have checked:
-overflow:hidden on other page elements causes problems. I looked into this but my nav bar does not have this property.
-z- index only works for positioned elements. I made sure my elements were positioned relative or absolute.
-I tried directly styling the js created facebook elements using things like
.fb_iframe_widget{
display:block !important;
z-index:9999 !important;
}
I'm not that good with CSS but have never been stuck this long on one single issue.
I am assuming the issue actually is with something I have done wrong elsewhere on the page, like the navbar itself, but I cannot see what it is. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
I searched lot of things and tried it too but no solutions worked for me. I found one quick fix to solve facebook like dialogbox overlap issue here and it worked for me.
Hope it could save others time, Cheers!
It doesn't really solve the issue, but what I have done is to hide the comment box. For this case it was acceptable. In the css file I added:
.fb_edge_widget_with_comment span.fb_edge_comment_widget {
display:none;
}
What worked for me was to set the z-index for the element that holds the Facebook like button to be higher than the element the comment box was shown behind.
I'm trying to get my navigation bar on my html page inline with my logo however it wont budge. I assume its because its following the flow of the html page, I dont really want to use absolute positioning, i did try and use the 'left' and 'top' properties in css however it didnt like it. Please could you advise where I'm going wrong?
Please see example here:demo of problem
P.s. The red was just to help me see what was going on.
There are quite a few errors with your HTML structure, some unclosed tags, and odd placement of elements. I have reworked the code for you to see an example that works for modern browsers. It's not the cleanest code but it should get you on the right path. http://jsfiddle.net/Lj9yn/18/
