Comments are appearing on my banner

[davestolte+ 0]

I installed a Facebook comments plugin that works great and is easy to administer - with one exception. Comment boxes are appearing to the right of my Header and below the Banner I'm using for navigation. See here: http://www.homebarbasics.com/?p=22 I'm hoping there's a bit of CSS I can insert into Platform Pro's Custom Code section to block the comment box from appearing in these two spots - there doesn't seem to be a way to block comments directly in the Banner edit section.

Actually, this is something you should address with the plugin author as the plugin is clearly adding that to Platform, not Platform adding it to the plugin.

I'll give that a shot, wasn't sure if this would be an issue of the Plugin author not supporting every Theme, or the Theme author not supporting every Plugin.

We support way too many plugins for my taste, but we're happy to help people get their site looking right. Some plugins just have issues and in some cases, the author either has to provide the solution or identify the problem. Don't think we'll abandon you - ever. If the author can point to some issue, we'll happily work with you on the solution but he's your first step.

Followup: I've tried this with five different plugins and I think the problem is that they recognize the Banner (a unique animal to Platform Pro) as a Post. None of the plugin devs offer any kind of practical support. I could alleviate this by removing the Banner and adding my custom navigation to the Header directly - if I knew where & how...

[Rob 547]

That's probable. It may also appear in Feature Sliders, Boxes and Soapboxes as they're all Custom Post types. I will bump this to a developer.

Thanks, much appreciated.

Hopeful this is something that can be resolved, I'm really happy with PlatformPro.

The banners, features and boxes are indeed custom post types. These types of plugins just add their output to all posts regardless of type. The plugin authors should add a simple post-type check to see if the post type is actually a post.

I doubt I'll be able to get that kind of support from any of these plugin devs. Shouldn't there be a way to add the "PageLines Section Control" to these custom posts types so I can check "Hide Comment Form" and "Hide Sharing Tool"?

You can hide it with this css: [code] .banner-content, .banner-media iframe { display: none; } [/code]

Halfway there - that hides the Facebook Comments area, but it also hides my custom navigation I'm using in the banner.... see http://www.homebarbasics.com/?p=22

try [code] .banner-content iframe { display: none; } .banner-media iframe { display: none; } [/code]

By God, that did it. THANK YOU!
