Title: privacy dropdown scrolling Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # privacy dropdown scrolling * Resolved [dran2013](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dran2013/) * (@dran2013) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/privacy-dropdown-scrolling/) * the area where the privacy option appears under activity status is scrolling. I saw this same issue in a thread on BP forums and a fix was added to the js file but it’s not working for me. * [http://buddypress.org/support/topic/buddypress-activity-privacy/](http://buddypress.org/support/topic/buddypress-activity-privacy/) * any help is appreciated, thanks! * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-activity-privacy/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-activity-privacy/) Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) * Plugin Author [meg@info](https://wordpress.org/support/users/megainfo/) * (@megainfo) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/privacy-dropdown-scrolling/#post-3932824) * hi [@dran2013](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dran2013/), * With theme you use? * Thread Starter [dran2013](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dran2013/) * (@dran2013) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/privacy-dropdown-scrolling/#post-3932825) * Mesocolumn theme * Plugin Author [meg@info](https://wordpress.org/support/users/megainfo/) * (@megainfo) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/privacy-dropdown-scrolling/#post-3932879) * Hi, * I was make a test with Mesocolumn theme v 1.3, there is no scrolling under activity status. * [http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/7050/0le4.png](http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/7050/0le4.png) * Make sure to update the plugin to the last version (remove the old plugin) and tell me if work. * Regards, Mounir * Thread Starter [dran2013](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dran2013/) * (@dran2013) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/privacy-dropdown-scrolling/#post-3932887) * I’m sorry, you are right. When I used the theme it was fine, but I made all the buttons bigger with CSS throughout BuddyPress and now I see that is what caused it to start scrolling. In the thread I linked to above, you made a fix for this area to be wider (already included in the latest version of Activity Privacy), I tried increasing the size in the code even further to allow more space for the bigger buttons but it didn’t work. Where should I try to increase this area to accommodate the larger buttons? I found the original BP buttons to be small and they crowded and overlapped as I added plugins that created buttons for the Members Directory and profile areas, so I also increased the padding and margins. Thank you so much for looking into this and for all your help! * Plugin Author [meg@info](https://wordpress.org/support/users/megainfo/) * (@megainfo) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/privacy-dropdown-scrolling/#post-3932939) * I think the problem is resolved ? * Thread Starter [dran2013](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dran2013/) * (@dran2013) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/privacy-dropdown-scrolling/#post-3932940) * yes and no. I went back to the default size for form boxes and buttons to fit the privacy dropdown because I couldn’t find where in the files to increase the size of the area it is located. Back to default buttons, couldn’t style the buttons how I wanted without the scrolling effect. * [amboambo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/amboambo/) * (@amboambo) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/privacy-dropdown-scrolling/#post-3932969) * Hi, Great plugin with TERRIBLE STYLING. The scrolling was not solved from last updated version of the plugin using the js to adjust the height to 50px: //fix the scroll problem jq(‘#whats-new’).off(‘focus’); jq(‘#whats-new’).on(‘focus’, function(){ jq(“#whats-new-options”).css(‘height’,’auto’); jq(“form#whats-new- form textarea”).animate({ height:’50px’ }); It gets overridden * I tried a css workaround in my twentythirteen child theme(style.css): #buddypress form#whats-new-form #whats-new-submit { float: right; margin-top: -1px; } * But if you take into consideration a user with a mobile, then no chance:((( * Another issue It would be nice if you change the privacy name to match those used in Buddypress Xprofile Custom Fields Type plugin Nobody instaid of only me:) * Unfortunately i have to uninstall the plugin until you resolve the css scrolling problem. * Any body knows a good alternative!!! * [MarialKa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marialka/) * (@marialka) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/privacy-dropdown-scrolling/#post-3932981) * Very useful but tried with child theme of twenty twelve, no way to fix this issue, I’m not CSS expert 😉 many thanks in advance to share your fix, if somebody know how do Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) The topic ‘privacy dropdown scrolling’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/buddypress-activity-privacy_fbd5c6. svg) * [BuddyPress Activity Privacy](https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-activity-privacy/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-activity-privacy/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/buddypress-activity-privacy/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/buddypress-activity-privacy/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/buddypress-activity-privacy/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/buddypress-activity-privacy/reviews/) * 8 replies * 4 participants * Last reply from: [MarialKa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marialka/) * Last activity: [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/privacy-dropdown-scrolling/#post-3932981) * Status: resolved
