I’ll have our developers take a look at getting this fixed in the next update and we’ll keep you posted. * Thread Starter [WebNashr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webnashr/) * (@webnashr) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rtl-problem-3/#post-4762374) * Thanks. Looking forward to it. * Moderator [Kathryn Presner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zoonini/) * (@zoonini) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rtl-problem-3/#post-4762458) * Our developer has put in place a fix for this issue in the next version of the theme. In the meantime, try adding this CSS to the bottom of style.css: * ``` .comments-link:before, .post-date:before, .sticky .post-date:before, .tags-links:before, .byline:before, .hentry .edit-link:before { display: inline-block; } ``` * Note that you will lose this change the next time you update the theme, but in this case that’s OK since the theme itself will already incorporate this correction. * Let me know how it goes. * Thread Starter [WebNashr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webnashr/) * (@webnashr) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rtl-problem-3/#post-4762459) * Fixed. Thank you. * Thread Starter [WebNashr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webnashr/) * (@webnashr) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rtl-problem-3/#post-4762535) * There is other problems in `entry-meta` in RTL. It’s when more than one comment is present and/or when tags are present and/or when post is sticky. the same site shows it. * Moderator [Kathryn Presner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zoonini/) * (@zoonini) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rtl-problem-3/#post-4762537) * > It’s when more than one comment is present and/or when tags are present and/ > or when post is sticky. the same site shows it. * I see the problem with problem with icons showing on the left, instead of the right, here: * [https://i.cloudup.com/OI37w33Azz.png](https://i.cloudup.com/OI37w33Azz.png) * I’ll have our developers take a look and will keep you posted here. * Thread Starter [WebNashr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webnashr/) * (@webnashr) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rtl-problem-3/#post-4762538) * The icon for sticky post shows up on the left but for tags and comments the problem is more complicated: the tags icon is shown after tags and the comments icon. Comment icon and comments count is shown between the tags icon and tags, and “ comments” text is shown after all this lonely! * Moderator [Kathryn Presner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zoonini/) * (@zoonini) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rtl-problem-3/#post-4762539) * > The icon for sticky post shows up on the left * OK, glad that one is clear. 🙂 * I want to make sure I understand the rest: * > the tags icon is shown after tags and the comments icon. Comment icon and comments > count is shown between the tags icon and tags, and “comments” text is shown > after all this lonely! * Would it be possible to draw me a little picture of what it’s _supposed_ to look like so I can be sure to pass along the right information to our devs? * Thread Starter [WebNashr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webnashr/) * (@webnashr) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rtl-problem-3/#post-4762540) * Of course!

I will pass this along to our developers for a fix in the next update. * Theme Author [Automattic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/automattic/) * (@automattic) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rtl-problem-3/#post-4762545) * Howdy! Can you try downloading the latest version of the theme from this URL? [http://public-api.wordpress.com/rest/v1/themes/download/syntax.zip](http://public-api.wordpress.com/rest/v1/themes/download/syntax.zip) * It may not be updated on WP.org yet, but it appears to be fixed for us in this version. Please let us know. Thanks! * Thread Starter [WebNashr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webnashr/) * (@webnashr) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rtl-problem-3/#post-4762546) * Featured, author and tags icons are still in the left. You can see: [syntax.webnashr.com](http://syntax.webnashr.com/) * [Caroline Moore](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sixhours/) * (@sixhours) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rtl-problem-3/#post-4762547) * OK, I think we have a fix for those! Give this version, 1.0.4, a try and let us know: [http://public-api.wordpress.com/rest/v1/themes/download/syntax.zip](http://public-api.wordpress.com/rest/v1/themes/download/syntax.zip) * Thanks! * Thread Starter [WebNashr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webnashr/) * (@webnashr) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rtl-problem-3/#post-4762550) * The icons position is fixed but now comments and/or tags are shown in two lines. Thank you. * Moderator [Kathryn Presner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zoonini/) * (@zoonini) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rtl-problem-3/#post-4762551) * Could you please link me to a post where you see these on two lines as I spot- checked your site but couldn’t find any examples.
