Title: Plugin causes Layout Shift with Theme Last modified: April 24, 2021 --- # Plugin causes Layout Shift with Theme * Resolved [reiseblitz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/reiseblitz/) * (@reiseblitz) * [5 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-causes-layout-shift-with-theme/) * Hello, * I keep having a peculiar issue with your plugin which has only started to occur recently. My theme (Newspaper by tagdiv) offers a login form which I don’t use and have thus deactivated in the Theme settings. However, when loading a blogpost( it doesn’t happen on pages) both on mobile and desktop the theme’s login form, despite being disabled, is shown unstyled for a few milliseconds before it disappears again. * This causes a strong layout shift which now impacts my Google Core Web Vitals CLS value massively. * After deactivating all plugins and reactivating them one by one I could track that issue down to PublishPress Blocks. As soon as I deactivate it, the issue is gone. Currently, I only use the Accordion block and on blog posts that don’t have one, the issue doesn’t occur either. Hence, I suspect it must have to do with that somehow. However, I am out of ideas. * Would you have any idea how to fix this? * Thank you very much and kind regards, Wolfgang * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fplugin-causes-layout-shift-with-theme%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) * Plugin Author [htmgarcia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/htmgarcia/) * (@htmgarcia) * [5 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-causes-layout-shift-with-theme/#post-14365550) * Hi [@reiseblitz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/reiseblitz/), I’m not able to see the layout shift. Is possible for you to share a screencast? * Thread Starter [reiseblitz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/reiseblitz/) * (@reiseblitz) * [5 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-causes-layout-shift-with-theme/#post-14367034) * Hi [@htmgarcia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/htmgarcia/), * Thanks for getting back. I implemented a quick fix over the weekend by simply commenting out the login parts of my theme’s code. However, I would like to achieve an update-proof solution. * Hence, I have reproduced the issue in my staging environment, please find a screencast here: [https://screenrec.com/share/TVfqiLb9DQ](https://screenrec.com/share/TVfqiLb9DQ). * I hope this helps? If you need any further info, please let me know. * Thank you! * Plugin Author [htmgarcia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/htmgarcia/) * (@htmgarcia) * [5 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-causes-layout-shift-with-theme/#post-14367318) * Thanks for sharing the screencast! * In your staging environment, if you switch to a core theme like Twenty Twenty One, can you reproduce the issue? * Regards * Thread Starter [reiseblitz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/reiseblitz/) * (@reiseblitz) * [5 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-causes-layout-shift-with-theme/#post-14367383) * I have just tried and it doesn’t happen then. This seems logical to me as this login form is part of the theme (it can be used as a modal somehow – I’ve actually never tried it and had it always deactivated). From what I could figure with my limited programming knowledge so far is that the login form is always in the source code of the page but hidden when deactivated. Hence, I wondered if there might be some interference with the unfolding mechanism of the accordion? * If it helps for analysis, I can reactivate the uncommented lines in the live version. * Plugin Author [htmgarcia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/htmgarcia/) * (@htmgarcia) * [5 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-causes-layout-shift-with-theme/#post-14367664) * Please send us a message through our support page with the URL of the staging site to preview the issue: [https://publishpress.com/publishpress-support/](https://publishpress.com/publishpress-support/)– Include the URL of this forum topic as reference. * Thread Starter [reiseblitz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/reiseblitz/) * (@reiseblitz) * [5 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-causes-layout-shift-with-theme/#post-14375931) * Thanks, I have just sent the support request.
