Going To My Home Page Messes Up My Layout
Mouse November 30th, 2020 8:48:53pm 26 Posts |
When I click "Update Settings" everything looks perfect, but once I navigate away from my page and then back to it, my text becomes larger, some aspects become out of alignment, and my table calendar changes dimention. The actual code doesn't change, though. If I click on "Update Settings" once again, without changing anything, it'll look like it's supposed to again. I don't understand. Please help. |

Can you provide a screenshot of 1) what it is supposed to look like and 2) what it looks like after it changes is messes up? |

I notice this with most if not all of my layouts, but it's the opposite! Upon updating it, the text becomes larger and some things go out of wack- I just revisit my page and then everything is back to normal. I learned to revisit my page right after editing before I do more editing to the coding because of this to make sure everything is accurate and where it should be when i first started playing around with codes |

Like the others have said, HP has some wonky issues with the page updating. Whenever I code a layout, I always make sure to reload the page after hitting "Update Settings." The first page load after hitting that button - when you get the little news box at the top of the page letting you know your settings were saved - is always wonky and isn't actually displaying what you coded. You need to reload the page a second time by going to Home > Your Home (I don't recommend hitting the Refresh button on your browser either, as that can be just the same as hitting the Update Settings button again). |

Does HP have issues with imgur? It keeps adding alt="imgurl.filetype" after the standard img src code. When I take the alt stuff out and update my settings, my layout goes back to how it should be, but when I reload by going to "your home", it adds the alt code right back in and my layout messes up. |

That's not an issue with imgur, that's something the HTML purifier does now. Although the alt property isn't really required to make the image display, it's still techinically correct structure, so the purifier tosses it in. It grabs the alt value from the image link. I think you might be grabbing the wrong imgur link to use, if it's causing issues? |

I wish I could show someone my code so maybe they can figure out why it's going wonky. I've literally had to post this on my facebook "If you hear screaming coming from my house, everything is, well, not fine, but don't ring anyone. I'm just attempting to do cosmetic HTML coding. 🤬😵" mostly just to warn my neighbors. |

Ok. I've fixed a few things. I had to readjust some table widths, etc. My calendar still isn't displaying like I want it to. |

If you add !important after the text color in your CSS, you might be able to override the default layout text color. So it would look like this - color: #fffff6!important; |

Aw nuts. It didn't work. Oh well. I'm not mad at it. It's at least to a point where I'm not ripping my hair out. |
