Text Wrapping On Itself

I love this plugin. Straightforward and easy to implement. Love that I can make several different slide groups. Will be great for category headings as well as homepage.

I’ve been trying to overlay a description and title. Works fine as long as I keep both short enough. Problem is with longer titles or descriptions that the text wraps on top of itself – meaning the second line is printed on top of the first.

I’ve tried using your tutorial, this one (http://thewebprincess.com/customize-meteor-slides-with-advanced-custom-fields/) and even a table where the photo was in one column and the text in the other. Every one had the text wrapping on top of itself.

Any ideas?

Thanks! It sounds like the line-height of the text in your captions needs to be set maybe. Can you post a link to the page you’re working on?

Wow, thanks for the fast response!

Unfortunately, it’s a local install for testing so I can’t share a link. I could email the php and css files if you think they would help.

With the tables, it didn’t matter if I used smaller photos. It still wrapped wrong. The space was there for the text it just wouldn’t use it.

I tried messing with the line-height settings and the font size. Also tried overflow:hidden. Tried making it a heading instead of a paragraph too. Didn’t make a difference.

Can you take a screenshot and put that online so I can see what it looks like?

Sure. Posted it on an ancient post for you.

Just remove the x’s.

It’s doing it with the title and the description.

I had thought about just putting the text into the jpeg – hence the photo in the example. Problem is when the window is resized, the font gets really fuzzy and hard to read.

What it is with programming and how you try the same thing more than once and it doesn’t work, doesn’t work and then suddenly does?

I’ve smushed, moved, copied and redone the code so many times. Now all of a sudden line-height is the answer. It wasn’t all afternoon yesterday when I tried it with paragraph tags. Today, surrounding the text with heading tags it does. sigh

My sincerest apologies for the wild goose chase.

Glad to hear you got it figured out!
