Title: Ditty window on wordpress dashboard problem Last modified: May 20, 2025 --- # Ditty window on wordpress dashboard problem * Resolved [kourosh77](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kourosh77/) * (@kourosh77) * [1 year ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ditty-window-on-wordpress-dashboard-problem/) * I can’t edit ditty layouts or anything really. Used to work before (when I used it a couple years back) but I’m trying to design a new website and it’s giving me trouble. Please look at the video below : * [https://jmp.sh/s/65BHnJmNdRbAFyiPusnA](https://jmp.sh/s/65BHnJmNdRbAFyiPusnA) * I have tried two different browsers and the same problem exists.

Once those are cleared out, the editor will be taller and you’ll be able to edit easier. I’ll work on modifying the layout for these screens to allow for scrolling, but currently the edit screens for Ditty fit within the available visible height. * Thread Starter [kourosh77](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kourosh77/) * (@kourosh77) * [1 year ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ditty-window-on-wordpress-dashboard-problem/#post-18476465) * Yes I was able to make the editor window into an appropriate size by dismissing those notices, but another thing to note is that if you have set your wordpress language to a rtl language, you can’t expand the editor horizontally for more width, because the editor will stick to the left side of the screen and you can’t expand it from the right side, looks like that’s only possible from the left side. I had to change the language to English to do that. * Thread Starter [kourosh77](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kourosh77/) * (@kourosh77) * [1 year ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ditty-window-on-wordpress-dashboard-problem/#post-18476814) * By the way how can I make this new ditty show the whole text? I have just one long message I want to show but it only shows the last few words. I changed all the settings I could see but can’t make this work. * Plugin Support [Joe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joemc/) * (@joemc) * [1 year ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ditty-window-on-wordpress-dashboard-problem/#post-18477416) * [@kourosh77](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kourosh77/) thanks for letting me know about the rtl issues, I will take a look into that. Do you have a link to your site so I can see your ticker running? It’s hard to say way the issue is, but you should see the full text. * Thread Starter [kourosh77](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kourosh77/) * (@kourosh77) * [1 year ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ditty-window-on-wordpress-dashboard-problem/#post-18477645) * Here’s a test I did with ditty that shows the two problems I have : * [https://dev.radiorasa.online/layouts/header-main/](https://dev.radiorasa.online/layouts/header-main/) 1. As you can see only a small part of the message shows. I increased the width setting of the container but it didn’t have any effect. 2. I set all 3 of Item, Container and Content background color to purple, but still there are some blue colors in the background? How can I fix that? * Plugin Support [Joe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joemc/) * (@joemc) * [1 year ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ditty-window-on-wordpress-dashboard-problem/#post-18479202) * Thanks for the link! It looks like your issues are mainly stemming from your theme’s css files. * In this file: [https://dev.radiorasa.online/wp-content/themes/rareradio/css/__plugins.css](https://dev.radiorasa.online/wp-content/themes/rareradio/css/__plugins.css) The theme is setting the width of all ditty item’s to 33.33333% and adding top/ bottom padding. * ![](https://i0.wp.com/i.imgur.com/IqKGu1d.png?ssl=1) * In this file: [https://dev.radiorasa.online/wp-content/themes/rareradio/css/__colors-default.css](https://dev.radiorasa.online/wp-content/themes/rareradio/css/__colors-default.css) The theme is setting the blue background and white text * ![](https://i0.wp.com/i.imgur.com/8AjYmNR.png?ssl=1) * These will need to be modified or overridden with custom css. * The reason the text is being cut off is due to the width set with css in addition to the ticker setting being set to No Wrap. If the text was set to wrap you’d see the full text, but the item width would still be 33.3333% wide due to the theme css. * ![](https://i0.wp.com/i.imgur.com/bLXtwHk.png?ssl=1) * Thread Starter [kourosh77](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kourosh77/) * (@kourosh77) * [1 year ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ditty-window-on-wordpress-dashboard-problem/#post-18479223) * Oh, so that’s why! * I think I’ll have some work to do. Thanks for taking the time and explaining in detail, Joe. * Plugin Support [Joe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joemc/) * (@joemc) * [1 year ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ditty-window-on-wordpress-dashboard-problem/#post-18479228) * You’re welcome, glad to help!
