Styling issue

AS you can see, the logged out view is OK. But when logged in:

Why have I suddenly started to get this difference in rendering?

5.2.6 is largely my code edits/additions. Wasn’t able to repIicate the issue locally on my dev server, and don’t recall any code changes that would affect the forum description text. I just created an account on your site to test it out there and either patch it for an upcoming release, offer some CSS to fix it, or both.

I’ll check back in once my account is active (codejp3).

Thanks. I just activated your account.

I can’t recall if the second logo (the open book) was smaller before?

So far I’ve double-checked all code related to the “unread post icon” and forum title/descriptions, and the only thing changed related to that for 5.2.6 was tabs/spacing within the code to make it more readable, but nothing that would affect how the code is rendered on the front end of the site.

With that said, clearly you have an alignment issue. I can’t come up with a quick CSS tweak since there’s no elements to target and distinguish whether the unread icon is visible or not. That means that CSS code to fix it when the unread icon is displayed, breaks the alignment for “logged out”/ no unread icon displayed. Keep good alignment with no unread icon breaks the alignment for displaying the unread icon.

The only way I can figure to fix your alignment issue is to actually make some changes to the code for how unread icon / forum title / forum description is rendered.

Working on that now and will post a follow-up.

I don’t think it’s the cause of the issue, but I do see that you’re using “autoptimize” caching plugin. Out of curiosity, can you do me a favor and clear the CSS file cache for that plugin and do a “hard refresh” (hold ctrl key while clicking “refresh” in the browser) just to see if there’s any difference? I doubt it, but I’d like to eliminate that as a possible culprit nonetheless.

Good news and Bad news!

Good News: I was able to replicate this issue on my end, and have narrowed it down to the improper order for the unread icon (should be before the forum icon, not after).

Bad News: I haven’t figured out exactly what’s causing it yet. Still working on it, and will issue a fix as soon as it’s figured out.

@ajtruckle – I’m pushing version 5.2.7 to @robin-w now. Until it’s released officially, you can download it directly from here:

https://github.com/codejp3/bbp-style-pack/archive/refs/heads/5.2.7.zip

I’d love to hear if you still have any other issues after updating to 5.2.7!

@codejp3 Thanks for your hard work. I don’t know how to manually update without needing to login via FTP which I can’t do right now.

And I can’t just add a new plugin:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare bsp_plugin_activation() (previously declared in /customers/e/9/c/publictalksoftware.co.uk/httpd.www/wp-content/plugins/bbp-style-pack/bbp-style-pack.php:31) in /customers/e/9/c/publictalksoftware.co.uk/httpd.www/wp-content/plugins/bbp-style-pack-5.2.7/bbp-style-pack.php on line 31

So I will wait until 5.2.7 is officially released as I have to go to work shortly.

3 steps that will allow you to manually install it:

1.) When you download the zip file, open it with your archive program of choice and rename the root directory within the zip file from “bbp-style-pack-5.2.7” to just “bbp-style-pack” and re-save the zip file.

2.) In the “Plugins” admin page, deactivate the current bbp-style-pack plugin.

3.) From that same “Plugins” admin page > at the top next to the title, click “Add New”. Then from the “Add Plugins” page > at the next to the title click “Upload Plugin” and upload the zip file, and activate it.

The issue you experienced comes from having 2 active bbp-style-pack plugins – one in the “bbp-style-pack” directory, and one in the “bbp-style-pack-5.2.7” directory. Renaming the zip file directory in step 1 should take care of it. Pro-actively deactivating 5.2.6 in step 2 is probably unnecessary, but guarantees you won’t get conflicts.

5.2.7 just released !!

@robin-w Awesome! I have just upgraded via my phone (at work).

@codejp3 May I kindly ask you to check after logging into my forum please? It looks better on my mobile phone, but then it is a smaller window so renders differently. But if you can check on a desktop I would be grateful.

Thanks guys for the speedy work!

@robin-w @codejp3 I am afraid I still seem to have a layout problem?

It was the same on my phone. I have tried purging the autoptimize cache. No joy. For some reason the icons are not flowing correctly but are stacked upon each other.

can you go into dashboard>settings>bbp-style-pack>Forums Index Styling and just click save

that resets the css files, and I want to eliminate that as a problem

oh and purge cache after ??

All fab now! ??????

thanks – that let me know exactly what the issue is – you won’t need to do anything further – I’ll fix it permanently in 5.2.8
