Ike: Could you try using IE and/or Chrome on your PC?

Although… William: Ike and I are both ‘guests’. Could this be something you have installed that only an Admin runs which might be affecting things? Could you log out of your site and look at the popups?

Also Windows 7 ie, chrome and firefox.

The about box does look fine though

Guests can’t do anything.  The about pop out looks fine as admin and guest.  

I will happily give you admin login so you can see for yourself.

We are looking at the ‘edit post’ popup, which uses the ui-dialog class, the same as all the other popups and should show the problem.

I’ve just checked in IE and Chrome and it looks fine, so it might be a good idea to PM Admin login to myself and Yellow Swordfish.

OK, having logged in as Admin, I can see the issue straight away, and the ‘edit post’ popup previously looked at – is affected when logged in as Admin, not guest.

I will just ask you to confirm as Andy asked, if you are running any plugins that only have an effect on Admins, as the ui-dialog (popups) appearance could be the result of some kind of js conflict.. chat.js maybe? They don’t appear to be suffering any CSS problem I can see…

I don’t know enough about js to be sure, maybe Andy can offer some insight, but I would definitely recommend temporarily disabling plugins until you find the cause.

Thanks for looking.

I just disabled every plugin except simple-press.  Same thing.

Have sent you a PM…

OK – when your custom theme was forked from the default theme, someone added the rule:

#spMainContainer {
    margin: 0 -50px -10px;
}

to the CSS rules. It is that -50px that is doing the damage in the UI dialog. Is it necessary?

I have no idea if it is necessary, I paid for it to be made.  I believe it was Brandon C who did it for me.

Brandon should be along shortly… 

Thanks for taking the time to look.  Hopefully it will get sorted.

Thanks Swordfish!  I removed that piece of the code and it’s working properly.  Just hoping it did not mess something else up I did not find yet.

good news…  I think it would be quite apparent if the styling of something else was changed… perhaps it was needed for previous version of WP as they have been repeatedly changing jquery ui dialog css…
