    "Category button" not showing correctly on PC and mobile device on vanilla version 2.2.

    what does this mean - post a screenshot of "not correctly" and what you expect.

    4 things to keep in mind when dealing with display issues and posting questions.

    • 1) if you are not using the default theme when testing, test with default theme if things don't seem to work as expected.
    • 2) if you are using a premium or custom theme, no one can possibly guess your issue, but the odds are if it works with default theme and not yours, it is a css issue or a view issue.
    • 3) as with all plugins if it doesn't have 'MobileFriendly' => true, in the plugininfo array, it will probably not work in mobile mode until you add it.
    • 4) you may need to adjust css.

    the plugin was written a while back but surprisingly works perfectly on desktop with default theme.

    tip: if you are not using default theme, always wise to mention that in post if it is a display issue.

    that said the program could be re-written by to conform to new coding standards, but at the same time works.

    I may not provide the completed solution you might desire, but I do try to provide honest suggestions to help you solve your issue.

    I had to add 'MobileFriendly' => true, to make the buttons appear on mobile device but the buttons overflow the mobile screen. Please see attached screenshot. My vanilla theme is a custom theme clone right from default theme.

    try changing in the css of the plugin.

    Option 1

    from

     .category-buttons{
            display:inline-block;
            }
    

    to

    .category-buttons{
            display:block;
            }
    

    if that doesn't work you could do option 2

    Option 2

    do something else study up and experiment

    Option 3

    pray for vrijvlinder to come back and help you.

    Thanks @peregrine,
    Option 1 and 2 did not work. My last option is to pray and hope @vrijvlinder fixes the addon.

    VrijVlinder has been busy elsewhere , however she does check in once in a while to help with design issues , not providing a link to the site hinders my potential help . It is not my plugin but am willing to see your site using a web inspector . That is the most speedy way for me.

    As a rule the plugin should have a CSS file where the errant code likely is . If not it may be your own theme making it like that.

  • Thanks @vrijvlinder. The improved version works great.

    • When a user is connecting through SSO he is prompted to choose a username.

    new

    When a user is connecting through SSO she is prompted to choose a username.

    much better than just saying

    When a user is connecting through SSO the user is prompted to choose a username.

    :)

    Pragmatism is all I have to offer. Avoiding the sidelines and providing centerline pro-tips.
