Question regarding Affiliate Button Alignment

[Shaliza]

Hello:

I have a question regarding my forum:  allkindsofeverything.boards.net

On my default theme, for some reason the Affiliate Buttons don't line up properly in the table at the bottom of the homepage. If I zoom in once, then they align, but not if I view the page in Actual Size on my Safari browser. 



This is only happening on the default theme as far as I can tell, and I tried to work with the Visual Editor to change font sizes and stuff, but nothing helped. 

So any help is greatly appreciated.  

Thank you!

Hi Shaliza

Changing font sizes won't any affect on image files. They are all aligned ok for me, (Firefox 47.0).




There may be something in the browser you are using that is causing the problem, (try viewiing the site with an incognito window and see if it changes). Also have a look at the settings in the affiliate plugin you are using.

Hello Nscalerr 🐺...

Thanks for taking the time to get back to me. I appreciate it.  

I am currently using Safari on my iMac and the affiliate buttons are not aligned, unless I zoom in/out on my page view. On my work PC I tried Chrome and the affiliate buttons were aligned. I also tried using the Desktop view on my Samsung cell phone and the buttons were aligned, so I guess it's something about the Safari browser which is causing the misalignment. 

The reason I felt it was a font/size issue is that the same thing happened with another theme I was working on and after fiddling with font styles and sizes on the Visual Editor I got it to resolve. So I've been doing the same thing for the default theme but it does not seem to be working. The fact that zooming in/out helps the issue leads me to believe that it has to do with a font weight/size issue, but I could be wrong. 

I guess I can keep trying but I just wish I knew what caused it to happen in the first place so I can avoid it in the future.

Do you have any addons / plugins in Safari that could be causing it ?

[Shaliza]

^^No, I don't think so. I also cleared out my cookies today, and that didn't make a difference. I will just have to keep plugging away and hopefully will figure out the button alignment soon.  

Thanks for the help though, I appreciate it.

Post back here if you find a solution. I get the feeling it is something to do with Safari and I assume it is fully up to date ?

Hello Nscalerr 🐺

Sorry for the late reply. I got swamped at work this week.  

I make sure that my iMac and Safari are up to date. I haven't had a chance to mess around with the Visual Editor anymore but hopefully I can get back to it this weekend. Will definitely post back here if I find a solution. 

Thanks again for all the help. I really appreciate it.

Found a few coding errors in the affiliate section. Main one being this bit of code </ahref="http:> which should be deleted as it is totally invalid. Also some of the affiliate links have errors in them.


I have listed the links with the errors below, with the corrected version directly underneath, so all you need to do is just copy and paste the new code in place of the faulty ones. This may or may not have a bearing on your problem

Hello again, Nscalerr 🐺

Thanks so much for correcting those affiliate codes. I really appreciate it.  

It didn't help the issue of the button alignment, so I will continue to play with it and try to figure out what about this particular theme is making it so out of whack. None of the other themes have this issue, so whatever change I made in the visual editor caused it. 

Will post again in here hopefully when I figure it out. 

Thanks again!

Hello Nscalerr 🐺

So today I finally got the Affiliate buttons to line up by changing the width on my default theme. It was set to 80% which is what most of my themes are set to. For some reason if I changed it to 79% or 81% then the buttons would line up. So it's currently set to 79% and all the buttons are aligned when I view it on Safari or another browser. 

Thanks again for all the help. I really appreciate it.

Interesting. Great that it is now working for you.
