New blog has label Archive overwriting label Categories

When you have a new blog with no categories, the "archive" label is overwriting the "categories" label.

I put a sample page on the demo site that shows this:

http://demo.mojoportal.com/new-blog.aspx

There might be some themes that don't have this problem, but the ones I've tested do.  Perhaps an optional line feed if the number of categories is zero? Or suppressing the categories label in that case?

Just some thoughts for you!

Thanks for your time!

Hi,

That is a skin related issue and solve by changing the following  class in that skin:

div.blognavright div h3 {

margin:0 0 5px 9px;

}

Hope Helps

Re: New blog has label Archive overwriting label Categories

Thank you for the code.  I added it to both styleblog and ie7specific stylesheets, and it did the trick.

It seems to be needed on some but not all of the themes. 

jsavard-mojoportal
andreas-viklund-04
printer-friendly

are some of those that do not need it. 

andreasviklund02
dcarter-bludesert
dcarter-bluespring
dcarter-businessone
dcarter-orangesunset
dcarter-sq2

and
mitchinson-khaki

are some of those that definitely do need it.

When I have more time, I can run the whole list, if it would be helpful.

Thank you!  I appreciate the help!

The problem also goes away as soon as you create at least 1 category, and if you are not using categories you can uncheck "Show Categories" in the settings.

Best,

Joe

Hi Joe,

I agree, that is a perfectly acceptable answer and I have the fix for the stylesheet.  I thought I would mention that it's a "fit and finish" issue. 

As soon as you create a new blog and look at the page, but before you put in the first post, depending on the theme you're using, there's a good chance that you see labels overwriting themselves, and it looks like an error condition.  If you're new to mojoportal or blogging, you can start to doubt yourself, your theme, the underlying code, wondering 'why it would do that?'   If you're not new, you will probably just automatically go add a category!

Best regards,

Roberta
