Overflow-y not hidden on captions-wrap

[samuel.t]

The captions have a small overflow which activates the scrollbar:

(Source: http://www.clarafanlo.com/activation, since my page is already fixed with custom CSS.)

In my case, problem was solvable by adding custom CSS:

.lay-carousel-sink .captions-wrap p {
overflow-y: hidden;
}

Alternatively, I could increase the height by 1px, but that's less preferable, at least for me.

I believe this is a theme bug, since I'm not the only one with the problem (eg. http://laythemeforum.com/user/scotty2hotty).

Dear @samuel-t

Thank you for the concise thread and for the images used, this helps a lot,
Makes it more user friendly for others in the future.

I will forward this right away.

Additionally to speed up the process, if it is indeed a bug and not external interference from plugins or custom code:

Could you please send your website address, /wp-admin/ username and password and a link to this topic to info@laytheme.com?

I unfortunately cannot provide a login since this is page from a customer and we don't have a testing environment setup. But I can provide any information or debug info you need. Currently, following plugins are installed:

• BackWPup
• Coming Soon Page, Under Construction & Maintenance Mode by SeedProd
• InfiniteWP - Client
• Lay Theme Carousel
• LiteSpeed Cache
• Simple Custom CSS
• WP-Matomo

None of them should cause the problem described above (also, the overflow wasn't there in past but was introduced with a recent theme update. The plugins are installed long time ago, no issues).

Only custom CSS snippet added is the fix mentioned here in the thread.

not needed here,
thanks for the heads up!
i'm releasing an update now

[samuel.t]

Great - I'll wait for the update and confirm once the problem is resolved.

[samuel.t]

Yep, fix works - thank you. Bug can be closed.

Dear @Richard-Keith
I am experiencing the same issue. Everything is up to date but the scrollbar gets still activated:

Source: https://mona.productions/

Installed/Activated plugins:
Google Analytics for WordPress by MonsterInsights
Really Simple SSL
Simple Post Notes

Could you have a look at it again? Thank you!

[samuel.t]

Are you're sure you're running the latest theme? When looking at your page, the fix with "overflow-y: hidden" is not there. When adding it manually through the developers console, the page looks fine.

[lilievongruen]

Hi @samuel-t, there is no update available and I am running lay theme 3.4.5.

I uninstalled the plugin Simple Post Notes…no change so far.

[samuel.t]

@arminunruh : looks like another class selection is needed:

.lay-carousel-sink .single-caption {
overflow-y: hidden;
}

.single-caption instead of .captions-wrap

[lilievongruen]

Thank you @samuel-t, it works on Firefox. Safari is still showing the scrollbar.

[Richard]

Dear @samuel-t

Thanks for following up again and providing interest in this,
I will forward this for further inspection

@lilievongruen
As a 'Must ask" part of debugging, do you have:

• any third party plugins that when de-activated change the issue?
• any Custom CSS, HTML or JS/jQuery code that when temporarily removed changes the issue?
• ( as mentioned before :) , Both the Theme and the Theme's Addon's are all up to date.

Let me know and come to a solution,
Until then @lilievongruen thank you for using Lay Theme and your patience

Best wishes and a nice weekend

Sincerely
Richard

Dear @Richard-Keith,

as you suggested, I did temporarily deactivate third party plugins and removed all custom css. The scrollbar was still showing up in Safari.

Third party plugins are:
Google Analytics for WordPress by MonsterInsights
Really Simple SSL

Thank you for further inspection!

[Richard]

Dear @lilievongruen

I am inspecting your website and do not see the Scroll bars that have been an issue,
Did you update & the problem is solved?

Would love to know the end result if you are able :)

Also any additional question's that may still be causing you issue.

Best Wishes
Richard

[samuel.t]

.single-caption now has an attribute "overflow-y: hidden". Not sure if this has been inserted with some custom CSS or is from a theme update.

[lilievongruen]

Dear @Richard-Keith and @samuel-t
the issue is still appearing in Safari, but not in all screen sizes, so when I changed the size of the browser window I got different results.

Thank you, best, Susann

[lilievongruen]

Dear @samuel-t the attribute "overflow-y: hidden" has been added by custom css. Theme is up to date.

[Richard]

Dear @lilievongruen

Could you please send your website address, /wp-admin/ username and password and a link to this topic to info@laytheme.com?

At this point it is the best way forwards.
