Footer Problems

Footer Problems

Timothy Foster 19 Dec 2011 14:46

I hope I'm not going crazy. Is it just me, or is the #footer and #license-area ids now inside the #content-wrap block rather than outside, like it had been for years?

If you all are also detecting this, I'll file a bug report. This might have something to do with what Wikidot said in the little Twitter field on the left about some sort of code leak.

I can confirm this. I'm not sure when it changed. The only funky stuff I noticed this morning was some CSS not being applied to pages for a while on the community forum posts and previews on themes.wikidot.com.

This is very annoying and we will all now have to check all our sites. I have had a couple of users saying that their pages have been messed up or the edit buttons have gone or some other problem.

If you have used absolute positioning on the footer (as I have done on some sites for rasons which I now forget) that will need changing to relative. Still missing the page options buttons on most of my sites. Checking firebug now.

…and page options buttons missing on all my sites I have checked so far. Not happy.

I have submitted a bug report, so hopefully this will be fixed quickly. I cannot imagine why they would keep this new set-up; any change to page structure should be only in addition, not subtraction or rearrangement lest multiple sites and themes get scrambled.

I had set the #page-info to display:none. Taking that out and the buttons have re-appeared. But having to check all sites.

We had the exact same issue and have fixed it in the same way. It occurred mid afternoon yesterday. Surely we should have had a warning about this?
