A funny thing started happening recently with my Tubepress widget. It is somehow taking the dividing line from the widget below it and moving it up adjacent with the top thumbnail in the Tubepress widget (see screenshot, attached).

 

In the screenshot, I've got the extra line circled in red, and where it should be circled.

 

Any clue as to what's causing this? It is only happening with the Tubepress widget. I tried changing the shortcode I'm using, but that made no difference. I've tried deleting the widget and creating a new one.

 

I can't find anything in the style sheet that would cause it, and Firebug reveals no clues.

 

I'm using the Suffusion theme.

 

Thanks for any help you can offer on this mysterious behavior.

James,

 

Please post a link to your site so we can take a look at it live.  If you don't want to post it publicly, you can send it to me in a PM.

 

It is much easier to troubleshoot a live page then using an image.

 

Also, it's possible that your TubePress shortcode is being inserted into the widget (who's line it is 'stealing').  Take a look at your page using the Text editor and make sure that tubepress is where it is supposed to be.

 

Let us know.

 

Thanks!

After looking at the source text, it doesn't appear to me that it is inserted into the next widget... they are separated by <aside>.

James,

 

Found your issue:

<aside id="tubepress" class="suf-flat-widget widget_tubepress">

You have both classes assigned to the same <aside>

 

If you make that line look like:

<aside id="tubepress" class="widget_tubepress">

it'll work perfectly!

 

Let us know!

 

Thanks!

I tried that with Firebug and it doesn't work, it just screws up the formatting even worse. If you'll notice, all the widgets in that column have the class that way, starting with 'suf-flat-widget' followed by the individual name. But none of the others have this problem.

 

I found a way around the problem, though: I put a text widget below it, without a title (so no divider line for Tubepress widget to 'borrow'), and added links for our various video galleries.

 

Still, I'm curious as to why and how this is happening.

James,

 

When I made that correction in FireBug it worked properly and everything continued to display correctly.

 

That's the only thing I could see as to why TubePress would have "stolen" the line.

 

Glad you found a simple fix though.

 

Thanks!
