Category checklist in post admin

    Can anyone tell me what to change to make the checklist sub-categories not be indented so far to the right? I am using WP 3.9.1 and the Simple Taxonomies plugin.

    I noticed the problem back when the big interface change came in the WP admin. I waited awhile thinking the plugin would catch up and it would get fixed. But apparently the plugin hasn’t been updated in 2 years. I would like to just fix it myself (either in the plugin or in the WP admin css, but I can’t find where to change it. Nothing I do seems to work.

    This link is an image showing what it looks like: http://obrerofiel.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/categorychecklist.jpg

    Any suggestions?

    Finding the correct CSS directive by reading through stylesheet code is almost hopeless. You need to use your browser’s developer tools to help you find the correct directive. All major browsers have such a tool, though for Firefox you need to add the “Firebug” plugin for similar functionality.

    The details of use vary, there is always some way of selecting an element for which you want to check the styling. Once selected, the applicable directives are listed, along with which file they are from. You can temporarily alter values in the tool to ensure they have the desired effect. Once you have a solution, search for the same selector in the actual file and permanently apply the new values.

    Thanks for the tip! I haven’t fixed it yet, but I figured out why it is happening. It is a plugin conflict. But I need both plugins so I am gonna have to figure something out.

    When I have ecwid shopping cart deactivated, they line up correctly. But when it is on, it reads the ecwid settings somehow and adjusts the left side padding. But I can find where the css is that is telling it to do that.

    At least I know a little more that I did when I started on it :/
