The social media icons?
if so: <a> by default is an display:INLINE; element. It’s to be a word linked usually/originally. The weird unassigned height you’re seeing is because the <a> link is rendering as a line of text with the LINE-HEIGHT: x, the image within is just overflowing outside of the line-height, and thus partially not a link.
this is happening in Firefox because all browsers handle things like this differently (the wonderful world of fragmentation).
Assign the set of <a>‘s via css display: inline-block; with a height: and width: (height and width of images), or display: block;float:left:margin-right:5px this will clear it up..
(
if it is the social icons: put a id onto the <p> holding them so you can select the problem links with css like <p id='social_icons'>, then in style.css add:
#sidebar #social_icons a {
display:inline-block;
width:30px;
height:30px;
}
[note modify a third party wordpress with overwrite when/if the original author updates the theme]

Thanks, davidsword. I tried that but that interfering rectangular element was still there and kept the icons from operating as links at all, because the icons wound up higher in the sidebar.
I may not understand everything you wrote, but please take a look at what I see.
– Go to http://ca-bankruptcylaw.com
– Open the Page Inspector. There are various ways to do that. On my Windows PC I press Ctrl-Shift-C.
– Hover the mouse on the icons (top right of the sidebar) and observe the dashed rectangle that starts at the top of the menu bar and extends down into the icons. The part of the icons that are within that rectangle do not operate as links. While doing that, look at the Inspector below. I see
highlighted. That’s now out of my pay grade …

As an experiment, I removed the <?php wp_list_pages(‘title_li=’); ?> in header.php.
– The menu bar contents disappeared (of course).
– The interfering rectangular element also disappeared and the social media icons worked fine as links.
Therefore it seems to be wp_list_pages that is generating that “too deep” rectangular element.

I moved the image icons lower so that rectangular element wouldn’t interfere with the links, but I’d still like to make that rectangular element a more appropriate size.
