After Cornerstone update - columns do not align

Hi,
I just updated X and now I find the layout has shifted slightly. Most notable is the columns are off-line with each other and the page padding seems off.

When I built this site I used shortcodes in a very early X theme (actually pre-cornerstone) - please see the screenshot. I wonder if you have any solutions for this issue that does not require a major structural change.
Thank you.
Nick

Hi Nick,

I’m having similar issues. The problem is that ‘enters’ in the text editor are now converted into
tags (line breaks). I like to use enters for readability, to make things look nice and clean as in your screenshot.

I’ve posted a request about it here:

Anyway, if you want to fix it quickly, you can remove all the enters.

Best, Freek

Hi @Niky67,

Thanks for writing in.

Please check the provide thread above, it’s related but we’ll keep checking. Wordpress convert line breaks to HTML codes so please remove them manually for now.

Thanks!

Thanks for your input :wink:
I have gone into the code a bit and got the columns inline but there are still a number of other bugs…
Cheers

Hi,

Thank you for your response.
Are you indicating this is a WordPress issue?
Or is it that the X format has changed so drastically it does not support some of it’s original short codes?

Thanks
Nick

Hi Nick,

We’ve identified a potential cause for this issue related to the update. Would you mind providing login credentials?(WordPress admin & FTP) We could try a patched version of Cornerstone on your site to see if it addresses the problem.

Hi Alexander,

I can provide this info but can you confirm this is a private communication.

Thanks
Nick

@Niky67,

If you click on the icon in the post that looks like a key, you can add a “Secure Note.” Any content added to the Secure Note input is only visible by yourself and our staff. No other forum users will be able to access it in any way.

I’m having a similar issue to this…

I’ve updated some text on a column (which has a list of points).

It is now formatting entirely differently.

Other columns which show in the style I want are fine, until I click on them. Even without editing, they’re reverting to an odd style, full of lots of extra spaces.

I can sort of bodge it by working on the HTML version, but it’s masses and masses of text - and any attempts to edit it as text is extremely frustrating.

Hi,

Just checking if you got my details earlier, I don’t want to be working on the website if you are still working on things…

Thanks
Nick

Hi Nick,

I’ve just made a change on your site. Can you take a look and let me know if it’s back the way you would have expected?

Hi Alexander,

The start page sits better now and so do most of the other pages, but the columns in this page are still out of line https://meetx.se/om-oss/vi-meetx/.
FYI I see there is a similar issue on this demo page for Integrity http://demo.theme.co/integrity-1/

Thanks
Nick

Hi Nick,

I’ve installed a patched version of X and Cornerstone on your site. This is potentially the same version that will be the next point release. It looks like the issues you’ve mentioned are now corrected. Would you mind confirming this as well? Thanks!

Hi again,

The point release has been pushed to auto updates. You can safely update as it includes the aforementioned fix.

Hi Alexander,

Thank you for all you have done resolving things, I have updated the theme and Cornerstone from the WordPress admin panel and the issues under the spotlight are now working correctly. Great!

I am seeing a couple of errors in Chromes Inspection tool, I am not too sure how much of an issue this is?

Also, I am seeing an issue with a particular page which is quite big content wise but not so big with page weight - I wonder if it the shortcodes that are the cause of any hindrance here? (I am planning to revise his page but I was interested in your opinion)

Running the following two pages through a Website speed test tool in Chrome gives results that indicate it is possibly the shortcode rather than the page weight that is causing a load issue…(the heavier page does not load well in Mozilla Firefox)

I am grateful for all your help solving the issues from yesterday and am happy the page is working well enough to keep the client happy and if you can shed some light on these two further glitches that would be good too!

Thanks
Nick

Hi Guys,

I’ve ran the update, and it’s still not working correctly for me… (or as I’d expect).

Basically, my pages are built with cornerstone, most text is “classic text”.

My old work still looks good, but if I go in to add/ammend any of it, all of the formatting instantly goes a bit strange.

I’ve built a lot of my text using “shift-return” for a next line. All of these revert to a typical return, with a gap.

This has left me rather snookered! I can’t currently change or add anything, and there’s a few parts of the site that now look a bit mad.

@Niky67 I’ve taken a look and if you go to custom JavaScript in Theme Options there’s a syntax error in the Google Analytics code. This is causing the first console error. The second is because you likely installed the demo content quite some time ago and it’s using an invalid reference. If you go to Theme Options > Layout & Design you can just simply remove the background image.

Regarding the performance, this wouldn’t really have anything to do with shortcode output. Reducing the amount of content on the page would help it load faster.

@fogonthetyne I’m not sure why that’s happening but if you open a new thread we could check it out there. It sounds like it may just be how WordPress treats linebreaks. The change we made in this recent point release was basically to revert what was done in the major release. At this point it should be the way it has always been.

Thanks, will do.

Thanks a lot for all your help.

You are most welcome. :slight_smile:
