Odd Extra Padding

Hi All!

 

Usually I am pretty good at problem solving, but I can't figure this one out! I have tried two different quiz plugins and both have given me odd spacing like this. I have already tried testing by deactivating all plugins and removing all custom css. No change to the spacing.  Any ideas what is causing this? Here is the page.

Hi,

 

Are you referring to the new-line for the bullet and the actual question ? If so, this is because the plugin you have used doesn't appear to have much styling whatsoever and the DMS default styling for labels is overriding it. I recommend either contacting the developer of the plugin or find an alternative one. Such as Gravity Forms - http://www.gravityforms.com/add-ons/quiz/

Aha! Love Gravity Forms. Had not seen that they added quizzes. I will check that out thanks so much.

Ok, one more question on this. I tried the Gravity Forms Quiz, but it won't work for the context. We are doing the quiz as a list builder and it would be more comparable to a personality type quiz. Gravity forms just offers pass/fail or letter grade instead of directing to a results page. 

 

All of that to stay we have to go with a different plugin. I know formidable had some sort of [raw] shortcode that would disable all other styling. Is there anyway I can make it ignore all theme css styling for this page?

 

Thanks for your thought on this!

You can try wrapping your your code with the [pl_raw]...[/pl_raw] shortcode. However, please be aware that this can only be used once per page and must be added to the Page or Post content editor, it will not work in any section.

Just tried that. Didn't work. But, I figured out some CSS to make it passable. I will just stick with that and call it good. =)

      Unwanted Padding/Margin with Image Section
      By lbhansen+
      I am slowly getting closer to something I like for the general appearance of my site. What's currently nagging me is trying to remove the top and bottom padding/margin from the image in the header. It seems that I've done what I want with the menu but there was dead space above the image and between the image and menu.
      Trying out padding and margin settings, I got something that came close to what I want but saw odd behavior along the way. Changing either the top or bottom padding to 0 (from blank), removed all padding from the top and sides but left a small band between the image and menu.
      Setting all eight padding and margin settings to 0 removed all except the band between image and menu. (But it seems that entering 0 in only the top or bottom padding option is all that was needed.)
      So, heading into the twilight zone, I changed the bottom margin to -1. That removed the band but allowed the menu to slightly overlap the image. AND, narrowing the browser, or viewing on a phone, caused the band to reappear.
      Perhaps there's also a problem with the menu but I don't see it.
      So that's where it stands at the moment: http://756.a44.myftpupload.com 
      I seems to me that if there is a default padding value, setting it to 0 should be all that's needed to get the two sections to meet perfectly on any device/browser width.

      Remove ALL padding from container
      By Perry+
      Hello There, 
      I am working with Platform 5 and have run into an unnerving problem. I am trying to position my clients picture along the bottom of the container, so that it sits right on the bottom. After a good hour of googling and messing with the CSS I figured I would ask the question here. Below is my screenshot displaying my problem. I will need to do this frequently in the future. 
      My Problem Image
      Unlike in DMS, when I add a margin to an embed or image box it simply makes the container larger while keeping the padding, I cannot have any padding or any space whatsoever on the bottom of my clients image.  Is there a way to remove all padding from the container so I can have this work across screen sizes? If not is there anyway to position an element directly at the bottom of another element in Platform 5? This seems like a basic feature and was easily attainable within DMS. 
      I cannot create an image combining all these elements as it will not scale well on mobile and will make my clients logo unreadable and her face incredibly small. 
       
      Thank you for any help,
      Perry

      Forms not working
      By Queue-it+
      Hi,
      After the latest update of platform 5 and other Pl plugins the forms stopped working. Do you have an idea what could be the problem for that?

      Confused about section percentage padding/margin
      By chamois_blanc+
      Hello,
      I am a bit confused about the usage of percentages for section padding/margin settings in the PL5 UI. Percentages don't scale well for mobile devices (especially in height), so those settings are pretty much useless. Case in point, the defaults are expressed in rem units, not percentages:
      .pl-sn-pad { padding: 1rem; ... } Why force the user to use percentages in the PL5 section UI when it would have been as easy to let the user specify the unit?

      DMS 2 - map not working
      By Lisa Haran
      Hi 
      I have a map here http://www.iloveoffset.com/maps/
      I want to add several pointer locations to the map, but when I do they do not appear.
      On this map there are 2 pointer locations and as you can there is only one visible.
      Earlier today I added 7 and could only see 4 so there is something odd going on.
      My theme is up to date
