My site URL is http://appletechtalk.com I am using the Simple Catch (are) theme.

I am using a plug in called Comment Notifier which allows a user to check a box to be notified when a comment is responded to. In addition to adding the check box it adds text that says:

Notify me when new comments are added. (Similar to what you have below.)(You have to be logged in to the site to see the comment and box.)

On my site, the text is not on one line but looks like this:

Notify me
when new
comments are added.

I reached out to the developer of the plug-in and he looked into it and says it is an issue with my theme. Can you suggest some way I can fix this, or do you have a recommendation for a better way to do this?

Thanks,

David

@dschwartzer: Is there a way I can test the comment section (Now it says, need to be logged in)? And does this work fine with other theme?
Let me know further.

Mahesh:

Thanks for the quick response. You do have to be logged in as a user to see the issue. I have created an account you can use to test this.

User ID is: testaccount

Password is: Mahesh011717

I will change this as soon as you are done.

I have tested other themes and the formatting at the bottom of the comment box is correct. I have some screen shots be can’t figure out how to attach them here.

Hope that helps.

David

@dschwartzer: Go to Dashboard=> Appearance=> Customize=> Additional CSS box and add the following CSS:

#respond #commentform label {
    width: auto;
}

Mahesh:

The CSS code you provided did put the text all on one line. That said, the text is before the check box. When I test other themes, the text follows the check box (similar to what is on your site).

Is there some way we can get the text to follow the check box?

@dschwartzer: Please add the following CSS and ignore the previous one:

#respond #commentform label[for="subscribe"] {
    width: auto;
    float: none;
}

That did it! Thank you for the great support.

Dear Mahesh:

You previously advised me to add the following CSS in order to get the check box and Notify me text all on one line under the comment box:

#respond #commentform label[for=”subscribe”] {
width: auto;
float: none;
}

That worked well for awhile but I’m wondering if a recent update to the Simple Catch Free theme has changed something as now, the check box is on one line and the text is on a separate line below the check box. Is there a way to correct that?

You need to be logged in to the site to see the issue. Let me know and I can send you an ID and password.

Regards,

David

@dschwartzer: Yes, sure, please provide me the credentials.

Mahesh:

Thanks for your quick response. I tried to send you the sign in credentials via return email but it was undeliverable. As I did not want to post them on a public site, I sent them to you via the contact form on your site.

If you would like them some other way, let me know.

Regards,

David

@dschwartzer: Thanks, got your email. Please add the following CSS:

#respond #commentform label[for="subscribe"] {
    clear: none;
    display: inline-block;
}

Mahesh

@Mahesh: Thank you for the information. The CSS you provided did put the text on the same line as the check box but put the box at the end of the sentence. I referred back to your original suggestion and made a slight change. I used the following CSS which moved the check box to the front of the senetence.

#respond #commentform label[for="subscribe"] {
    float: none;
    display: inline-block;
}

Thanks again for your help. It is appreciated.

David
