Hello,

Thank you for responding. I tested again twice and it works now. I am not sure why. I’m not using WooCommerce, BuddyPress etc so maybe it was another plugin I removed that caused it to work now.

Ok, it is not that it doesn’t work on mobile devices, it is that it doesn’t work when you are not logged in as an admin. When I’m logged in I see the animated text but non-logged in people see nothing, not even the text.

Hi @yikesitskevin

Maybe incorrect/correct and bad/wrong are the well wrong words to use.
But both ways should ideally be avoided because the code wasn’t supposed to be written with that kind of specificity in the first place.

Things are supposed to cascade more naturally following an ITCSS architecture, from less specific to more, and maybe more component base following saying OOCSS or Atomic CSS.

So I prefer using the !important on a single property that place all my styles in a even more specific selector declaration which could potentially cause more unforseen problems for me later on.

Hi Kevin,
oh by the way I like your handle @yikesitskevin ??
Yes that would work because it is even more specific but I think, in my humble opinion, that it’s just as bad as using !important so I will use the !important as it’s just the one padding declaration as I have other styles on those selectors as well and don’t want to do more ‘damage’ than necessary.

Thanks again for your quick responses.

Hi,

Thanks for the quick reply Kevin.
Well I have tested with using the shortcode at the bottom of a blog post and in the footer. Most styles override easily but the inputs are the trouble makers specifically the padding declaration. My padding declaration either in the theme or customiser is never used which is why I had to use !important.

I don’t think adding my own styles would help in this situation becuase I would still need to add a selector more specific like a id, which I really don’t want to do. I also don’t want to remove all your styles either, as they are pretty decent out of the box.

I know people prefix their styles for namespacing reasons but your class names are so specific I doubt others would be using those names.

If I’m wrong about the padding on the inputs, could you just supply a sample css declaration of you overriding the padding for the inputs so I can test.

I first tried this:

.yikes-easy-mc-text,
.yikes-easy-mc-email {
   padding: 12px 24px;
}

and then

.yikes-easy-mc-form .yikes-easy-mc-text,
.yikes-easy-mc-form .yikes-easy-mc-email {
   padding: 12px 24px;
}

It didn’t work without applying important. Here’s screenshot of my inspector panel.

This happens whether the shortcode is in the footer or in the blog post.

Thanks

I am having the same issues and had to disable the plugin.

It’s not best practice since it would override on update but since it’s not a fatal error and if you really need the plugin you could make the fix yourself if you are dev temporarily. That’s what I did. However, if you have an alternative plugin do you mind sharing?

You query made me realise why on updating the plugin the correct authors weren’t showing on the frontend anymore.

Have you tried this plugin: https://bylines.io/
It’s not free but it’s supposed to be the better alternative.

The PHP Version is 5.5.24.

Sigh… I have updated to ver 1.0 but on posts I do not see the WPSite Sync metabox so I can’t use it. I don’t know if a clash with another plugin is not causing it to show up.

I tried adding the suggested solution to the .htaccess file on both the target and origin sites and I still get No authentication Token found for this target.

Hi, thanks for getting back to me. I feel so silly now missing that typo.
That must have been the problem. Guess I needed a second pair of eyes.
Thanks again for taking the time to respond.

Wow you have some nerve to assume I didn’t create my post types well on create archive pages.

I never assumed the plugin to create archive pages for me.

I reiterate your plugin does not properly support cpts. Even when selecting the custom post type t G one posts were not displayed on the calendar on posts from normal posts and it’s categories.

What is the point of selecting a cpt and not it’s categories? I stand by my rating.
