Firefox Virtue Shortcode Error?

  • I recently added quite a lot of product images to a series of columns using the visual aid layout – while using the Google Chrome browser. The thumbnails were small, had even spaces in between and looked lovely. I did this on multiple pages for a week.

    Then I opened the page in Firefox and the three columns stretch over into the right sidebar and the images are blown up and blurry. They also overlap with eachother so that each image is halfway covered by the one beside it. I really hope I don’t have to do these pages all over again.

    I am using another shortcode plugin which worked fine together in chrome but I tested the columns alone anyway and noticed it adds additional broken image boxes inside each column and above each row – which never happened with chrome.

    This appears to be some kind of Firefox error but I am wondering if there is anything I can do to define the column width to be compatible with both browsers, make the images inside these colums stay at their original sizes, or more preferably shrink them to fit inside the column dimensions like they do in Chrome?

    I probably ask too many questions for a free theme user – but I promise that upgrading to premium is on the top of my list when I break even.

  • Hey,
    I don’t know which column plugin your using but I would recommend using pagebuilder plugin: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/siteorigin-panels/

    Or you can use the column generator that is included with the theme.

    I can’t tell you if you need to redo or not without seeing a link.

    Hi, thanks for the recommendation. I like the column generator that is included with the theme and especially the visual aid output feature so I probably don’t need the pagebuilder plugin. I almost posted a link to my site then decided to remove the plugin I was using and it was actually causing the image overlap and stretching problem – which is a real shame because I was enjoying the basic image border feature. I came to the conclusion myself that I will need to redo everything so I figured a link would be of no use to you since the thumbnail display is fixed. I apologize for relating the stretching issue to your column shortcode.

    However I am still seeing a problem with the way the column visual aid displays inside the editor. I can’t link you to my editor page but perhaps a screenshot would help? I used this feature quite a bit in Chrome so I know how it should look – but while using Firefox broken boxes show up inside and above the column areas which I am not used to seeing. They don’t seem to effect the code when switching to text editor and also don’t show up when I publish the page – which is all the more bizzare. It also adds a broken box to the right edge. Is this something I should be worried about?

    On a side note I have been struggling with being able to add basic css frames to linked images that are hosted elsewhere. I want solid grey color borders and padding around my product pictures – which was possible with the shortcodes plugin I was forced to delete. I can’t find another plugin that will create these borders for me so that I can easily add the shortcode opening and closing tags around my linked images. Would you consider adding a basic image frame shortcode along with the other virtue ones? It would be really amazing if you could – padding and solid color codes bordering images helps them to look a lot less raw and more finished.

    That just means it’s not a loading an image file, it’s not important for the font end, because those are not displayed on the front end, do you have the latest version of the virtue toolkit?

    I’ll consider for an update your request, you might try a plugin like https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/shortcodes-ultimate/

    I do have the latest version of the toolkit – but it’s still not loading properly. However I have started using the the non visual shortcodes instead and I don’t mind them now – so I will keep using them.

    Thanks for considering my request – I found a source for the border coding that I need and it takes awhile to put in being long form but I am happy with how my images look.

    The shortcodes ultimate is the plugin that caused the previous error and prompted this topic! Something went wrong with how it displayed images – could have been the border itself or the labels I was using. All I know is that everything sorted itself out when I deleted it. I am going to stay away from other shortcode plugins for awhile.
