LenH Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 A website visitor kindly pointed this out to me http://www.huttonfamilytree.co.uk/genealogy/desctracker.php?trail=I287,F67,I377,F303,I1239,F313,I1278&tree=tree1 My initial thought was that it was something I had done. However I have randomly looked at other WP integrations: http://www.hardwickfamily.com/genealogy/desctracker.php?trail=I10,F8,I18&tree=tree1 http://jessicaandgracie.com/genealogy/desctracker.php?trail=I30,F10,I13&tree=tree1 http://championfh.net/genealogy/desctracker.php?trail=I36,F94,I355&tree=championfh I did look at several TNG non WP sites and they seem okay. I am guessing it's a TNG WP integration bug? Thoughts or help anyone please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theKiwi Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 It's working OK here... http://lisaandroger.com/genealogy/desctracker.php?trail=I16,F9,I520,F62,I560,F87,I679&tree=Roger Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LenH Posted August 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 Thanks Roger Hmmm so it's not across all WP sites That might make it darned tricky to pin down Do you have any suggestions as how I start to investigate this please?

theKiwi Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 (edited) My guess is it's Theme related - I did discover that my testing site, which uses a newer version of the Suffusion theme than my main site also shows some oddities - not as bad as you show, but not right - compare [Website Example URL Removed as Website is Defunct] with http://lisaandroger.com/genealogy/desctracker.php?trail=I16,F9,I519&tree=Roger I have so far been unable to figure out what is causing that - something in the style.css of the theme it would seem, but I can't find it. So as a quick trial, try a different theme to see if that changes the appearance of your page as a first step.

LenH Posted August 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Thanks Roger. Good thought re the theme. Thanks for the two examples. I would not mind if that was the only problem I had! To be honest I am seriously considering ditching the WP integration. There are just too many variables that can go wrong. Len Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Thanks for bringing this to my attention, Len! I never would have noticed it. I will keep checking back here, I really don't want to change my theme, lol. I will have to see if I can find another theme I like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LenH Posted August 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 No probs Melissa. The problem was hidden so deep I never saw it either. It was Merv from the forum who kindly found it. I don't want to change my theme either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merv Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 The only reason I found the bug is because I use the descendant tracker charts all the time when showing someone their family tree and therefore this would be something I check when looking at other sites. One restriction I find with fixed width sites is that the tracker charts can't be screen captured in their entirety if the chart is wider than the set fixed width. This is the samr for any wide charts that are generated. I am not familiar with WP but I imagine they would have full width sites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 Well, I can't fix it (not surprising, I'm pretty clueless) so I'm switching themes this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LenH Posted August 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 I am very grateful you found the problem Merv. It has helped me decide what to do next which is to have Wp separate to TNG I had no idea where to start on the problem Melissa. Would love to know how you get on. Fingers crossed!

I have wasted way too many hours trying to figure out what it is about Suffusion 4.4.9 that breaks the desctracker but Suffusion 3.9.6 works OK - probably 8 hours frittered away on it Compare [Website Example URL Removed as Website is Defunct] which is broken with http://lisaandroger.com/genealogy/desctracker.php?trail=I16,F9,I519&tree=Roger which works OK Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
