• New to WordPress but this theme seems great. For some reason I have no scroll bars on my pages so long posts get chopped. Is there a setting to fix this?

    Main page is small enough where scrolling is not necessary.

    If you click on “My Genealogy” however that list is truncated and you can’t scroll down to see it all. You can play around with other things like the surname list which also gets chopped off.

    If I switch to a different theme like diffusion, the scroll bars are there.

    Just realized I can scroll on mobile. Maybe Im just having a browser issue with Firefox? I will try clearing my cache and also try IE and Chrome

    I don’t see any blog posts at all on that site (maybe you’re working on it now).

    Not blog posts, the integration I have with TNG.

    Click on the Genealogy button from the main page
    On the next screen click on “Surnames”
    Click on a surname. It should display 50 per page

    I only display 24/25 and then my monitor can’t display anymore. There is no scroll bar to see the last 25 names on a page.

    I can scroll using Safari on my iPhone and using Google Chrome on my PC. However I cannot scroll using Firefox or IE on my PC

    I’d say that this is a TNG issue, not a Customizr one. I note that TNG say that they are still in beta. I’d ask on their forum.

    There are also some pointers here.

    I have posted in the TNG forum and they suggested I go to the theme creator. If I change themes to suffusion for example the scroll bars are there. It’s only when I use Customizr and only with IE/Firefox that this is happening.

    I spoke again with the creator of TNG and he offered this clue:

    “What you are seeing seems to indicate that the “overflow” property on the page has been set to “hidden” somewhere.”

    Is this true for Customizr and if so, can you tell me how/where to edit this?

    It’s from genealogy’s CSS. Add this in your custom CSS panel from Customiz’it! admin page (the blue button):

    html.boxshadow {position: relative; overflow: scroll;}

    Unfortunately, being a class added to the html element itself (very bad programing, btw) there are no parents to alow more specific CSS selectors.

    Anyway, it should work. You may now enjoy your content at full width, lol.

    If my code doesn’t work, open /wordpress/genealogy/css/genstyle.css and modify lines 1146 and 1148 to match the code I posted above.

    I hope you haven’t payed anything for that genealogy app/plugin… or whatever it is. They should have payed you for using such sloppy code.

    THANK YOU! I really need to learn this type of programming because I have no idea what you just did.

    The genealogy program is actually recognized as the best on the market. But if you can tighten up the code, maybe you could improve upon it πŸ˜‰ I’ll give your feedback to the creator.

    Thanks again for getting this to work.
