[resolved] Sociable - icons displayed in verticle list (grassroots theme) (10 posts)

    So, I've seen a couple others have had this issue before, but I can't seem to resolve it.

    I have the most recent version of the sociable plugin (2.9.5).

    The plugin installs fine and works properly except for the fact that the icons are displayed in a vertical list instead of horizontally. I've tried disabling the css as well as copying the css directly into my theme's css. Both of these methods just insert a bullet between and box around each icon.

    I am pretty sure the problem lies within my theme, because I am having the same problem with the "bookmarkify" plugin.

    Here is my blog: http://www.fangbear.com/
    This is the theme I am using: http://wellmedicated.com/themes/grassroots/

    Any hlp would be greatly appreciated.

    I guess the problem it's the UL tag is inheriting the css style. If you take a look its the same style as your sidebar list items...

    Try using ID (div id="sociable") instead of class (div class="sociable")

    Take a look at this, can you make it? http://wordpress.org/support/topic/216344?replies=6#post-895575

    The other user never tried it I guess.

    Okay. So I changed the div class to div id, via sociable php.

    Then I updated the css as you suggested. However, the situation still appears to be the same. The only difference is I am now using <div id="sociable"> instead of <div class="sociable">.

    Unfortunately, I still have vertical lists. Any other ideas? I appreciate the help, btw.

    Your case seems to be different... I saved your page and edited it there. Please restablish your files with the css class as it was at the start, this to don't have innecesary editing.

    Then find this:

    .sociable ul li {
    	background: none;
    	display: inline;
    	list-style-type: none;
    	margin: 0;
    	padding: 1px;
    	float: left;
    }

    last line float: left; seemed to work.

    I also encountered this problem. I figured out that it was happening anytime I had specific open tags (such as "pre" or "blockquote") before a "<!--more-->" statement. For some reason that condition carries into sociable's formatting and causes sociable to list the icons vertically.

    My work-around was to close all tags before the "more" and re-open them again. I don't always get my desired formatting but socialable always looks right.
