In reply to: [VS Event List] Combining Start and End Date /Inspired by https://wordpress.org/support/users/sammoda82/, I decided to replace the normal hyphen with an em dash in the shortcode by using the special character icon in the toolbar.

In reply to: [VS Event List] Column width in event listThanks Guido for your reply. I’m delighted to say it worked!
I also was able to combine the start and end dates with a hyphen to separate them (as per sammoda82’s post, “Combining Start and End Date /”) and have provided the code on that post just in case there are others who are wanting to do the same.

In reply to: [VS Event List] Combining Start and End Date /What a good idea!
I changed .vsel-meta-date to width:auto so that two dates appeared next to each other. However this had a knock-on effect on time, location and link as they all got added on at the end of the date. To resolve this I coded them as width:100% so that each appeared on its own line.
This resulted with the following CSS code.
#vsel .vsel-meta-date {width:auto; float:left;} #vsel .vsel-meta-time {width:100%; float:left;} #vsel .vsel-meta-location {width:100%; float:left;} #vsel .vsel-meta-link {width:100%; float:left;} #vsel .vsel-meta {width:46%; float:left;} #vsel .vsel-image-info {width:50%; float:right;}The remaining two lines are provided to change the width of the LH and RH columns to the sizes I wanted.
To get a hyphen between the two dates I used the shortcode to remove the date_label and start_label and to set the end label to space hyphen space.
[vsel date_label="%s" start_label="%s" end_label=" - %s"]If you want a look at the final result, you’ll find it at http://christiancanoe.co.uk/calendar/

In reply to: [Twenty Sixteen] TaglineI did the CSS changes in a child theme.
My concern is that unless the theme itself is changed someone developing a new site who doesn’t know about CSS and child themes will not be able to resolve this problem.

In reply to: [Twenty Sixteen] TaglineAlthough I have a fix, is it really resolved unless the theme is changed otherwise everyone who builds a website with this theme and displays a tagline containing certain characters will get this problem.
Sorry if this sounds picky but I’m thinking of novices who aren’t familiar with css and who are wanting to quickly build a site without the need to get technical.

In reply to: [Twenty Sixteen] TaglineChanging it to line-height off didn’t work.
In the end I settled for line-height: 1.15Thanks for your help otherwise I wouldn’t have known where to start.
Also stumbled on margin-top: 0; and padding-top: 0; which served to bring the tagline a little closer to the site title.

In reply to: [m1.DownloadList] Option to not display the line beginning path:Final code looks like this…
//breadcrumb if (m1dll_getStr($atts['nobreadcrumb']) == '1') { } else { if (strlen(m1dll_getStr($atts['label'])) > 0) { $subdir_path = '<strong>'.__('path', 'm1dll').':</strong> <a href="' . get_permalink(get_the_ID()) . '">'.__(m1dll_getStr($atts['label']), 'm1dll').'</a>'; } else { $subdir_path = '<strong>'.__('path', 'm1dll').':</strong> <a href="' . get_permalink(get_the_ID()) . '">'.__('downloads', 'm1dll').'</a>'; } }Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [m1.DownloadList] Option to not display the line beginning path:Thank you for your help.
I added the following lines after //breadcrumb
if (m1dll_getStr($atts['nobreadcrumb']) == '1') { } else {and an extra } after the last line and it works fine.

In reply to: [m1.DownloadList] Option to not display the line beginning path:Thanks for your suggestions. I found that code tags had been placed around the shortcode. Removing these got rid of the spurious lines.
The path parameter in the shortcode is doing what I want it to. However, if possible, I’d like to avoid displaying the first line (the line where path is displayed in bold). Basically, I don’t want to show users the path name, just a list of the files that can be downloded.

In reply to: [Twenty Sixteen] Reducing white spaceI don’t know if you got any help, I didn’t so had to work it out for myself. Sorry for not replying sooner but I’ve been away.
I’m unable to comment meaningfully on your post other than saying that everything I learned on the topic is posted here. You may get something from the code I’ve posted. Best of luck to you.

In reply to: [Twenty Sixteen] Reducing white spaceI can’t offer much help as I’m only a novice at this.
However, as far as I can determine, .site-main will affect the white space after the page area whereas I think you are looking higher up the page than that.
I can’t comment on .entry content as I haven’t used it myself.
From looking at your website, on some pages there is more white space below the facebook line than on others. It appears that the pages which don’t have a heading at the top have less white space. Therefore, I’m wondering if you ought to look at how your headings are produced.
You might get a feel for what is happening by using the developer tools of your web browser so that you can see the code behind your website.
I’m afraid that’s all I can offer. I hope you are successful in finding a solution and will be interested to know how you are able to fix it.
