[Plugin: Link Library] Link library causing bulleted lists to go missing (Atahualpa theme)

  • Hi all,

    I hope you can help with a quick question. I’m sorting out a website for a friend and installed WP with Atahualpa theme and just added the link library plugin, but it seems to be causing a conflict somewhere with bulleted lists – they appear unformatted in IE8 (and the bullet points look offset slightly in FF).

    Turning off Link Library sorts the problem, but to be honest I really like the functionally and it’s ideal for my friend (a small links page for a guest house website).

    Atahualpa does offer a lot of wp-admin based customisation so I reckon that’s part of the issue (a lot of CSS styling is added into each page), which is the main reason I chose the theme (I’m not that hot when it comes to coding so it makes life easy).

    Any ideas where the problem could be and how I could fix it?

    The site is here: https://www.thewhitehouse-edinburgh.com/blog/ – note the list of items in the main body copy – that’s a bulleted list. With Link library turned off, it displays fine in IE8 / FF.

    Cheers
    Scott

  • I think I see what is causing the problem. A plugin that I started to use a few versions ago is playing with all margins and paddings for all elements. I will have to figure out how to fix it correctly though. I should be able to get to this in the next 2-3 days.

    Thanks Jack.

    Great plugin by the way – works great and does everything it needs to – wish I found it a long time ago! ??

    Hi Scott,

    Here is a temporary fix. I have not had the time to fully see what might not be working after changing this but it does fix the problem with the bulleted list and does not break anything obvious.

    Edit the file called thickbox.css located in the thickbox sub-directory of the WordPress plugin. Change Line 4 from:

    *{padding: 0; margin: 0;}

    to

    /* *{padding: 0; margin: 0;} */

    For some reason, the Thickbox plugin that I added in Link Library sets all padding and margins for all objects to 0, which is why the bulleted list goes to the left. I guess it assumes that you will put a pad for the list in your stylesheet. Adding the extra characters removes that rule.

    Let me know if that works. I will look at a more permanent solution for the next release of the plugin.

    Let me know if you are not comfortable editing that file and I can e-mail you a modified (if you send me your e-mail address).

    Thanks Jack that worked perfectly! ??

    Version 2.5 of Link Library includes this small fix. Could you mark the thread as resolved? Thanks.

    I’ve found thickbox to cause alot of formatting problems with a few things, esp if you have aq highly customized/scratchbuilt theme.

    I moved to a different box mechanism than thickbox which is more maintained and will hopefully cause less issues.
