Thank you, that did the trick ??

I solved it – used the wp_get_archives function for it. The page even includes an example for drop downs.

Awesome! That solved my problem. Somewhere on the forum another approach seems to work as well:

.fb-like span {
	overflow:visible !important;
	width:450px !important;
}

First I though it worked, however the problem with this code is that it breaks any responsive layout for that it adds invisible space to one side of your layout. So when you check the layout on a mobile device for example you’ll notice additional space to the right. That’s kind of annoying. And it’s pretty confusing for users, because you have to double tap the display to focus wrapper in order to get the supposed look. That basically rendered my responsive layout useless.

iframe {
 max-width: none;
}

…on the other hand doesn’t cause any trouble. Layout looks perfect on my Nexus, the way I intended it to be on small screens! Cheers mate, much appreciated!

Well… I thought it worked for me — however… As I’m using a responsive theme, this causes new issues. When I load the website on a mobile device it zooms out because the width extends over my wrapper now.

Gosh this is just so frustrating — trying to solve one problem causes another. I really don’t know what to do. And what I don’t understand is what causes the fly out to be cut off in the beginning. Is this WP related?

Thank you ffwebdesigner!
That solved my problem as well, as I had the same issue with the ‘like’ fly out. I am using Blaskan as foundation for my own child theme, so it might not be connected to twentytwelve…

Cheers ??

I think I know what I did wrong. I expected my template to appear in the Pages tab on its own… But I have to create a new page in this menue and then select ‘Page Attributes’ > ‘Template’ — right?

The weird part is: If I create a new page using the “Pages” > “Add new” tab, it’ll show up in the ‘Reading’ section under ‘Settings’. If I use Komodo and upload the file manually it won’t. However it does appear in the appearance editor…

So I turned off all plug-ins, switched themes, logged out and in again… still no success. There is obviously some silly thing I’m missing

Ok…

Switched themes — no success…

But: template_start.php does appear in the right hand menu when I go to ‘Appearance’ > ‘Editor’.

I’m going to deactivate plugins now…

well yes… I created a file, called it template_start.php and added the following code:

<?php
/*
Template Name: start
*/
?>

I uploaded the file into my child theme’s directory (that’s what I also did with another child theme which was based on Thematic and it worked back then).

I also tried to log in and out again, and also put the file in the parent theme’s directory… However no success so far… What did I miss?

It seems to me that it links to old folders. I had the same issue with photos that were also present in albums. When I added a photo to a post and that photo already existed in an album, WP would display a “back” link to that album. I always expected it to create a second version of it, not just link to the existing photo in the album.

So you mean in the plugin forum?

I’m using WP’ jetpack tiled gallery however not the lightbox.

Mmmh… the galleries where I tried the above method (the ones that work) link to ip2.wp.com/mydomain whereas the all others link to my domain directly? I’m lost…
