TEXT not working

Hello - when attempting to add a background to a section and change the text to two columns, I found it is not working under text column setup. Also the size adjustment to the text is not working nor is the margin, padding, and border.

ps. this is under the press page on the website

Hi There,

I can see the issue. It might be because you have mixed content issues. Your site is https://cornerhousepho.staging.wpengine.com which is secure using http but then on Setting > General it is only http > http://cornerhousepho.staging.wpengine.com. This might be a staging issues only. Please check on the live site.

Regarding text, are you referring to Text element or the columnize? Please note that text element is autop. The classes we add on the class field will be added on the container of the text element. Inside this container is the parapgrah text we add on text field. Wherein you may want to implement those margin, padding or border on the paragraph tag inside instead. Is that the case? If you can give us a screenshot of what you want to achieve, we can confirm if that is the case.

okay, please try my site that is the production site.

Navigate to the press page and edit with Corestone. A few issues - again the column feature is not working, nor are any of the features below pasting in the text. Additionally, everytime I save it reverts the text dropdown from Ethos back to Integrity

ps. the background color isn’t even working

Hi,

Can you try testing for a plugin conflict. You can do this by deactivating all third party plugins, and seeing if the problem remains. If it’s fixed, you’ll know a plugin caused the problem, and you can narrow down which one by reactivating them one at a time.

You can deactivate autoptimize plugin first and see that is the one causing it.

Let us know how it goes!

yes! fixed, it was a plugin issue.

Hi Sam,

Although I could not log in to your dashboard as the password seems to be incorrect, in order to fix the issue I would recommend you replacing the width:650px; which you have set to your text element with: max-width: 650px;

width is an absolute CSS which your width is restricted 650px which may lead your content to don´t look good on smaller resolutions, max-width is much more flexible and it is recommended when setting size limitations.

Besides that, you can add: margin: auto !important;so your content will be centered on the page instead thrown to the left, that is also a very often necessary practice with setting the width of the elements.

Regarding the second question, this website was not built with X and it is not a feature offered by X it could be achieved by using a plugin or with custom development, but it would be out of the scope of our support.

Hope it helps

Where do I add margin: auto !important;?

Is there not “{” special characters or anything that go with it?

Hi there,

It should be added within your element styling option along with max-width. Example,

max-width: 650px; margin: 0 auto !important;

There is no need for { }, unless you’re going to add it as standard CSS.

Thanks!

There is no section that says “element styling option” can you provide a screenshot showing exactly where to put that?

Hi There,

If you are updated to the latest version of X and Cornerstone,You will find a customize tab above the section, click there and you will find the inline CSS box,

Please see image attached.

Hope it helps

I am still having the same issues for this page - why are the two columns not centered with the page?

Hi there,

You have set a 750 pixel with to a text element which contains complex text and that is why you see that it is not full width if that is the problem which you are experiencing:

This thread is 4 months old and we can not maintain that much old content. Please open up a separate thread and give us the exact information of the problem you are experiencing and we will do our best to help.

On the page in question, I suggest that you recreate that section using the column system of the Cornerstone by going to the Section options and adding columns:

Then add a seaparte Text Element for each column and add the information there.

Kindly open up a new thread to follow up this case.
