Separating a Text Paragraph from Short-code Generated Content
5 replies · Started by robmac on August 31, 2017
Hi Tom and Leo
i'm wondering if I could tap your knowledge for a moment please.
When I write a post with the following layout:
para [1] of text
[short-code]
para [2] of text
For some reason, the second para jumps up, to the right of the short-code. I've checked in the TEXT editor and there does not appear to be any weird code in there forcing it to do this.
IF I hit "enter" about 6-7 times, to force para 2 down the page, it finally does what I want and moves under the short-code.
Any suggestions to address this appreciated please - for example, can I wrap the short-code in anything to force Para [2] below it?
I've already tried <br> no luck, I've tried wrapping both the short-code and para 2 in <p>....</p> no luck, I tried span...tried a block! Any suggestions appreciated, in a nutshell, how to separate para of text from short-code generated content. My coding skills a limited, so I don't want to dig a bottomless hole on trying endless stuff.
Thank you.
Hi there,
Hmm try wrapping the shortcode in a div like this:
<div>[INSERT SHORTCODE HERE]</div>
If not can you link me to the page?
Thanks!
Hi Leo,
Thanks for your help. I've sent you a link to the DRAFT Post. "div" didn't resolve it sadly.
Any other suggestions much appreciated.
Regards,
Robert
The plugin you are using has float: left !important; added in style:
.amzps-adbox-11 {
float: left !important;
margin-bottom: 10px !important;
width: 550px !important;
display: block !important;
border: 0px solid #FFFFF !important;
}
You would need to overwrite it with something like this:
.entry-content .amzps-adbox-11 {
float: none !important;
}
The contents shouldn't be difficult to create without a plugin though?
Thanks again Leo...that appears to have done the trick.....help's greatly appreciated.
You're welcome :)
