 Any ideas on why this is happening? It's a new install.

Hey David,

Would probably need to take a look at the forum, can you post a link?

It's under construction, but I just turned that off so you can see it:

I didn't think to look in another browser, it's only happening in FF for me. For the text fields at least, the share button is still being cut off.

Thanks.

Using the browsing inspector, I can see for a start that your WP theme is imposing some rules pretty indefinitely.

For example:

input[type="text"], textarea, input[type="email"], input[type="password"], input[type="tel"], input[type="url"], input[type="search"], input[type="date"] {
    padding: 10px !important;

10px padding is pretty extreme for a text input box, and the !important is bad practice - means it will override everything else no matter what essentially.

As for the sharethis button, you have a couple of funny styles coming into play there too.

Although it appears to be coming from the theme it's hard to tell. Try switching to one of the default WP themes (like 2014) just to see if it resolves the issues..

I overlooked that and fixed it. Thanks for the assist. I will dig deeper on the sharethis button.
