External link icon in cookie-statement css conflicts with other plugins

    If you want to have icons that show if a link is internal or external, you would usually use a specialized plugin, in my case it’s ‘WP external links’.
    It’s probably not a good idea for a plugin that deals with something completely different, to provide a proprietary icon that might break the site’s overall design because of different icon or color. As long as you use WPEL’s standard settings (ie. icon on the right side of the link) you won’t notice that additional icon at all, but if you change the WPEL’s icon position to the left side (ie. before the link), suddenly there are two icons, which might be a bit disturbing.
    Not every user might like your arrow style, and not every user might want to have such an icon at all.

    Hi @bsoftde,

    Did you try hiding the Complianz icons already? You can do this with:

    cmplz-document a[target="_blank"]::after {
display:none;
}

    If you are seeing double icons, this should hide the default Complianz ones.

    Kind regards,
    Leon

    I did so already. Still I think, although providing this icon is a good thing in general, any option to switch it off would be a great thing.

    @bsoftde Good to hear that you managed to configure this the way you like. We will consider adding an option to switch it off.

    Thank you for the suggestion.

    Regards,

    @bsoftde I’d like to add that these icons will disappear as well if you disable Complianz Document CSS via Complianz -> Settings.

    Kind regards,
    Leon

    Sure, but then I would have to create the entire CSS myself, wouldn’t I?

    Hi @bsoftde,

    Your theme will take over, so only adjustments on your theme’s CSS.

    regards Aert
