Can’t create short codes
-
So I just installed the plugin, made all the settings for my facebook page and Instagram.
But when I’m on the main page of the plugin, I can’t seem to generate any short code.
In fact the main page looks a bit strange to me.The dropdown isn’t displayed as it should be I guess.
Tried in in different browsers (Firefox and Edge) but to no extend.Here is a screenshot of the page:
As you can see, the dropdown is not displaying properly and if I choose a social network (eg. Facebook) it doesn’t display any button to create the short code.

Hey @takermh,
Sorry for the troubles! Try deactivating all other plugins besides the Feed Them Social ones and then test to see if the generator works. If this works try turning on each one one by one to see which one is causing the issue.Let me know how it goes.
Thanks,
JustinEven with all plugins deactivated the problem still exists.
I also just discovered that I can’t get into the global options from the main page, I have to use the admin bar menu to go to the Global options.
Even switching to the standard theme from WordPress did nothing (I suspected some CSS from interfering, but there is nothing).
I also tried it on another WordPress site I have available and it’s the same picture here.
Both are the latest version of WordPress and the plugin, since I just installed it.
Any ideas what to do next?
Best regards,
ThomasWhat type of computer setup and browser are you using?
I have Windows 10 and tried it in Firefox and Edge, both browsers have the same problem.
I had a look into the developer tools from Firefox and it seems like the div class has a height of 0.
This is the part of the code which has a height of 0 (as it seems).
Great thanks for the feedback, a few others have mentioned this but were unable to really assist. Where in the console are you seeing the height of 0?
Try adding this maybe to the custom css option on the Settings > Global Options tab of our plugin.
.feed-them-social-admin-form { min-height:80px; height:auto; }It seems like I can’t use custom css as well.
I can check the mark, but when I click the button “show custom css” it doesn’t do anything.
Even after a save and reload it doesn’t work.I also tried to put the css from you right in the settings-page.php, but it doesn’t work.
Here is my system info, if this helps:

### End System Info ###Very strange. Do things work ok if you use Chrome or safari?
I just installed chrome and tried it there, same result here.
I found one css you could change to make at least the selector display properly.
In the settings-page.css in shortcode-form-selector set height: auto.
The selector is set to a height of 40px.But I found something different.
It seems like the Settings for creating the shortcode aren’t visible.when I deactivate this, it seems like everything is made visible, so there seems to be a problem with the css, maybe.
Okay, I just made the change in the developer tool itself and gave the element itself a display:block; parameter and now it seems like it’s working.
But it’s only a temporary workaround for now.
<form class="feed-them-social-admin-form shortcode-generator-form fts-fb-page-shortcode-form facebook_options_wrap" style="display: block;">Thanks for helping out! If you could possibly go through and make sure the rest of the plugin works ok for you and post any and all CSS fixes to our issues board here I’ll make sure they get applied and pushed asap.
