format issues with mla_gallery

    Hi,

    I’ve been trying to get a list of pdf documents using the mla_gallery. Followed earlier questions and can get the a list, but it’s not formatting correctly. Either I use size=0 and get a list of the documents, but the hyperlinks are not correct, or I get an icon, but all the text is missing. I’ve had a look sing chrome dev tools, and can see the text in the page, but something strange is happening with the formatting which I can not work out. I ma using mla_gallery within a text object in the visual composer, so not sure if it’s a clash with that.

    Any help in tracking down the issue would be great. The test page is https://www.shirleybaptist.org/notice-sheets/

    cheers.

    Thanks for your question and for the work you have already put into composing an [mla_gallery] display of your PDF documents.

    Your theme has quite a number of CSS styles; 2,968 lines in the style.css file, 2,519 lines in the theme_shortcodes.css file and another 23,131 lines in js_composer_front_custom.css. It looks the some of the styles there are altering the format of the gallery display.

    In particular, lines 2496 – 2510 in the style.css file have two attributes that are hiding the captions; opacity: 0; and position: absolute;. It looks like these attributes are intended to hide the captions until the gallery item is displayed in a lightbox; is that plausible?

    You could try using a custom style and markup template to change the class values associated with [mla_gallery] items to avoid the styling imposed by the theme.

    I hope you will understand that MLA seems to be working properly and the format issues lies in your theme and perhaps other plugins. It would be more productive to take these issues up with the theme/plugin vendor(s).

    I am marking this topic resolved because MLA does not appear to be involved, but please update it if you think there is an MLA-specific issue I can help with. Good luck with your application and thanks for your interest in the plugin.

    David,

    Thank you very much for taking the time to look into this for me. I agree MLA looks fine and issue with my css. I’ll see what I can do. Many thanks.
