Dropcap doesn't change color..

It works normally on my test site. You may need to hard-refresh your browser by pressing ctrl+f5. After that see if the dropcap color works.

Hey Mauris.. I have done a hard-fresh, and even cleared cache,cookies etc; as I had site issues last night.. I ended up having to do everything from scratch again, and have added the plugin again, though, still not showing the color..

May I know the url of the website page where this issue occurs? It seems like a plugin conflict.

It looks like the dropcap is conflicted with ET shortcode you’re using on your website. That ET shortcode may come from your website theme or plugins. So the dropcap style that is being used is the one from ET shortcode.

Do you wrap the word correctly like this [dropcap]Aloha[/dropcap]? If you do, then it’s a conflict issue. You can try to use the automation option on Simple Drop Cap setting, and see if it works.

Hey.. Not sure about ET??

I do the wrap properly.. As I’m only doing the first letter, for something like “Aloha”, I have it as “[dropcap]A[/dropcap]loha”.. This way, only the first letter is dropcapped..

When I do the automation option, it doesn’t work.. You can’t see the letter, just more like a | in place of the letters..

If you know about HTML and CSS, you can check the drop cap HTML source. On your website, it looks like this:

<span class="et-dropcap">A</span>

The class for my simple drop cap plugin should be like this:

<span class="wpsdc-drop-cap">A</span>

I think ET means elegant themes. Are you using one of their themes or plugins? If you’re using ET shortcode plugin, you can choose that or my plugin to create the dropcap.

Both of the plugin can’t work simultaneously due to shortcode conflict.

Still learning code LOL..

I am using a Elegant Theme, but haven’t seen an option in that for drop cap..

I think it’s included automatically in Elegant Theme. Is there a way to disable the shortcode? You may want to contact their support and ask them how to customize their shortcode and drop cap.
