Title: [Plugin: WP Float] Version 1.3 issues Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # [Plugin: WP Float] Version 1.3 issues * Resolved [GertyPhotography](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gertyphotography/) * (@gertyphotography) * [14 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-float-version-13-issues/) * Hello, I LOVE WP Float and have been successfully using version 1.2. I upgraded to version 1.3 thinking it was the best thing to do, not realising it was a significant change from 1.2, and encountered a couple of issues. I am using the Photocrati theme. * 1. Once it became a widget, I couldn’t get my floating image to display on the very left of my screen. I could get it to display on the left of the sidebar, or the centre of the footer, depending on where I put the widget. I am using this plugin to display a blue facebook flag above the red Rewards flag on my site. I have re-installed version 1.2 for now and it is working as desired – [http://www.gertyphotography.com.au](http://www.gertyphotography.com.au). * 2. When I had version 1.3 installed, my rich text editing capabilities in the visual editor for posts and pages didn’t work. I could type, but it was white plain text, and I had to highlight the text to see what was written. Now that I am back on 1.2, this problem has disappeared. The upgrade to WP Float 1.3 was the only change I made before I started seeing this problem. * Could you please advise if these issues can be resolved? I don’t like having “ out of date” plugins that WordPress keeps reminding me to update, but the current version 1.3 just isn’t working for me. * I was so excited when I first found WP Float ’cause it did EXACTLY what I wanted 🙂 * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-float/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-float/) Viewing 7 replies - 16 through 22 (of 22 total) [←](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-float-version-13-issues/?output_format=md) [1](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-float-version-13-issues/?output_format=md) 2 * [chink12](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chink12/) * (@chink12) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-float-version-13-issues/page/2/#post-2785473) * When i put it in the sidebar it doesn’t show up at all. I’ll put it in the sidebar so you can view the source but its not showing up * Plugin Author [samhagin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/samhagin/) * (@samhagin) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-float-version-13-issues/page/2/#post-2785474) * try changing your theme to the wordpress default twentyten/twentyeleven temporarily to see if WP Float works, if it does then your current theme may have issues handling widgets, its is also possible another plugin may be conflicting with WP Float. You can temporarily disable other plugins to see if it works * [chink12](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chink12/) * (@chink12) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-float-version-13-issues/page/2/#post-2785475) * Yea the plugin is great! It works on the default theme. Turned off all plugins n it still doesn’t work. If you can tell me how to float it (which css files) etc that i have to edit would appreciate it. * Cheers I use this plugin on other sites. * [Trinaa3](https://wordpress.org/support/users/orenlebbo/) * (@orenlebbo) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-float-version-13-issues/page/2/#post-2785502) * Hi, * Plugin displays ads well but only FIXED position is working.

However, is **IS** working in **WP FLOAT OPTIONS.** * Since I need to display the menu on only 4 pages, is there any other suggestions you could offer? * I really like the way this plugin displays images and would hate to have deactivate it. 🙁 * [http://rfimedia.com/rfim/services/branding](http://rfimedia.com/rfim/services/branding) Viewing 7 replies - 16 through 22 (of 22 total) [←](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-float-version-13-issues/?output_format=md) [1](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-float-version-13-issues/?output_format=md) 2 The topic ‘[Plugin: WP Float] Version 1.3 issues’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/wp-float.svg) * [WP Float](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-float/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-float/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-float/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-float/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-float/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-float/reviews/) * 22 replies * 6 participants * Last reply from: [brin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bnrfimediacom/) * Last activity: [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-float-version-13-issues/page/2/#post-2785549) * Status: resolved
