I’m having a bit of an issue. I recently switched from Disqus to Livefyre for a comment system. So far, I’m really liking Livefyre better, but the issue I’m having is that there doesn’t seem to be any padding between the Livefyre comment box and the edge of the main body/content/page or whatever you want to call it.
I thought I remember a setting in Newsmag where instead of having the theme layout be a “box” in the middle of the page, you could have the white body “box” take up the whole screen while the content stays centered in the middle. For the life of me, I can’t find such a setting in Newsmag, so maybe I’m thinking of a theme I’ve used in the past. But if I can’t add some padding between the Livefyre comment cell and the edge of the body content cell, I was thinking that removing the “box” option so that there’s no theme background and everything would just be the color of the background of my posts’ bodies, it wouldn’t make any difference if Livefyre had padding or not because it wouldn’t look all wonky.
For a reference, here’s what’s happening (click to make larger in new tab):
Hi
Try this css to add a padding around the comment box: http://screencast.com/t/mM1zWnz5hyuW
#livefyre-comments{
padding: 0 20px;
}
Thanks!
New issue, @andrei_luca…
If you go to my website and look at the comment section, you’ll see a button that says “Share” (it’s under/attached to the text box). If you click it, the drop-down list shows up, but instead of going over top the footer, it goes under the footer. How that this be fixed?
Hi
The plugin is not tested to work with the theme and I can’t say for sure what causes this issue. This types of animations, scroll up/down, are usually made with javascript and theirs implementation may generate different results. I am not aware of how this plugins work but in order to fix this most likely you’ll need an adjustment in its core files to get the desired result.
Thanks!
I remember a while back on a previous theme, I went into the theme’s files and changed the… “priority”?… of different parts of the page’s layout. I can’t remember if that was actually what it was called or not, but from what I understood it was like putting all the content of the page in numerical order from least important (bottom layers) to most important (top layers). Could you point me to where this might be located in the Newsmag theme files? Specifically for the comments section?
Hi
Our theme load the comments section in single_template_x where is x is the number of post template used: http://screencast.com/t/mI7dM9pTI All other elements displayed on post pages are loaded in loop-single-x: http://screencast.com/t/iXBofbuoNoZd I am not sure how you added the plugin’s comments inside post content bu you can try to place its shortcode in different positions in these files and check how it goes.
I hope this helps.
Thanks!
