share buttons obscuring text
3 replies · Started by Rob on September 30, 2020
A visitor has sent me an email saying that in her browser, the share buttons obscure the text in the article: 
So I checked how my site renders in other browsers (at browserling) and this is what it looks like: 
These are my settings for Layout > Sidebars: 
It seems I have two problems: (1) in Browserling, the Home Page needs some padding at the far left as some of the content is off-page, (2) I need to create a left-side gutter or margin in the single-post layout so that the share buttons don't sit on top of the text.
I've tried adjusting various settings but I'm getting a bit confused now. Perhaps I should just return to the default settings for Layout > Sidebars?
Any help you can offer would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Rob
Hi there,
Any chance you can link us to the site in question?
You can use the private information field.
Let me know :)
Hi Leo, thanks for that - the link is below:
Hi there,
in Customizer > Layout > Container you have 0 left padding.
The floating icons on left appear on scroll and take up around 80px space.
So you would either need to add 80px of left padding ( which feels like a lot ) or check the social share plugin if there is a smaller icon option.
