# Reset Compact view?

 * Hello,
 * When i display the list of links in BLC, it seems to always give the long status
   code entry information by default. When I click on “compact view” it does not
   collapse the status codes—i have to click on each line item’s “details” link 
   to get the extended codes to go away. I can’t tell whether this is a corrupted
   setting or a bug, but it resetting my preferences back to zero didn’t seem to
   fix. Is there a way to make my compact views truly compact again?
 * Thank you,
    erico

 * That sounds like it could be either a bug or a plugin conflict.
 * When you say “extended codes”, do you mean the big box that displays the response
   time, final URL, redirect count, log, HTTP headers, and so on? That should be
   hidden by default even when “compact view” is off, so if it’s visible when you
   first open the page then it’s probably a bug.
 * Does the rest of the page look normal? Is everything aligned and coloured correctly?
   For example, the message in the “Status” column should be green/orange/red depending
   on whether the link is working or broken, and there should be a small status 
   icon to the left of the link URL that indicates broken links, warnings and redirects.
 * If other parts of the page also look wrong, some of the plugin files might be
   missing or loaded incorrectly. Try reinstalling the plugin.

 * The color coding is not working, and no, there are no icons there either.
 * I did try deleting the plugin and reinstalling it, but that seems to make no 
   difference.
 * I turned off every plugin I could think of and to still run the site. The two
   that are essential are “WordPress HTTPS” and “social sharing toolkit”. I can 
   try testing it without the latter later this week (it messes the whole site up
   to not have that plugin), but the https plugin is needed to reach the panel.
 * Would there be a reason that parts of the plugin code wouldn’t load under https?
 * thanks for your help!

 * That probably means the file `/broken-link-checker/css/links-page.css` isn’t 
   loading for some reason. If you’re familiar with web development, search the 
   source code of the “Broken Links” page for references to `links-page.css`. Is
   it mentioned at all? Does the URL look right, and does it work if you try to 
   open it?
 * > Would there be a reason that parts of the plugin code wouldn’t load under https?
 * No, I don’t think HTTPS would affect it. Unless the HTTPS plugin also makes other
   changes to WordPress URLs, like domain mapping? I’ve encountered similar problems
   before where a bug in a domain mapping or directory mapping plugin prevented 
   plugin CSS/JS files from loading.

 * Thank you so much….that was enough of a hint to help me figure out what was wrong.
   For anyone else that might encounter this, you need to see if that links-page.
   css is loading. In my case, it was not, due to an .htaccess file in wp-content/
   plugins/. I don’t know why that .htaccess file was there but it was forcing any
   thing with “links” in it’s title to be interpreted by php, which somehow didn’t
   break everything, only some things.
 * Just knowing which file to check was a big help. Thank you!!
