Calendar dates not at top of box

Hello,

In order to diagnose why this is happening can you please do the following :

1. Confirm that you are using the latest version of the Ai1EC (2.0.13) – If not, please do a manual upgrade: https://support.time.ly/manually-upgrading-the-calendar/

2. Check to see if you are experiencing a theme or plugin conflict: https://support.time.ly/do-i-have-a-theme-or-plugin-conflict/

Please let me know how this goes.

Thanks

This is a CSS conflict.

I remember answering a similar question on the Time.ly forum with that exact same theme: https://time.ly/forums/topic/in-month-view-numbers-of-days-are-displayed-in-the-middle-of-the-square/

Note: The user has since changed themes, so I can’t use his site as a reference. My debugging skills on CSS have improved however, so if you can post a link to your site then perhaps we can resolve it?

PS: If you want to post it in private, I think you will need to create an account at the Time.ly forum as this forum does not allow private responses or direct user-to-user communication. Post a brief description of the issue WITHOUT any links as the first post, and then post a follow-up reply with links – Make sure to tick the “Set as private reply” box before hitting submit.

Hi folks,

Thanks for your help.

It seems it is down to the theme, as it works fine on the Twenty Fourteen default theme as well as 1 or 2 other custom ones. Does this mean I’m snookered? Or is there a way around it.
I can, however, confirm I am running 2.0.13

Cefiar, I’m afraid this is actually a local site, soon to be used for an Intranet so I couldn’t link anything even if I wanted to! I went through your post and then the suggested link about troubleshooting conflicts, but nothing worked. The Footer call is there, the tick box didn’t do anything and it’s a free theme so no support. =[

Thanks guys

@markmck – The only other thing I can suggest is to dig through the CSS using a Web Browser plugin like WebDeveloper (available for Firefox and Chrome).

For CSS conflicts, I try and work out which CSS file is causing the conflict (using the CSS -> Disable Styles -> Disable Individual Styles functionality), then I reload the page and use a “divide and conquer” method to selectively disable parts of offending CSS to see which parts are causing the issue (using CSS -> Edit CSS).

eg: When editing, I select ‘half’ of the CSS, and then cut it from the editor (Ctrl-X). If the issue goes away, then I know the issue is in that half. If not, I know it’s in the other half. I then undo my cut (Ctrl-Z), , highlight half of the section that is broken, and repeat. Usually you can narrow it down to 1 or 2 pieces of CSS markup, but it all depends on the theme. Note that while doing this, you’re only concentrating on the look of the calendar, as removing large sections of the themes own CSS will make it look a bit weird.

Thanks Cefiar, I’ll look in to this.

I have noticed now that the back/forward arrows as well as the category/agenda drop down menus don’t work on the Hueman child theme, which is a pain as it has my other customisations in it. Works fine once I change to the main Hueman theme =[

What PHP file could be causing this, how would I even know where to begin? The child theme only contains Theme Functions.php and Stylesheet.css

Okay just by sheer fluke I have found out what is causing the issue – it’s this line to remove the black bar;

<?php show_admin_bar(false); ?>

Once that’s added in, nothing happens when I click the drop down menus. It even breaks the Plugin settings from the dashboard!! :S

Although adding to the main Hueman’s Theme Function PHP page breaks it, removing the line from the child’s Theme Function page does not fix it.

Oh what fun! :/

Hm, not so much! I still want rid of the black admin bar =[

It’s okay, found a plugin that must do it differently, works fine ??
