It was a DANG Plugin!

Hi everyone,

One of my WA friends had a problem with the way his pages and posts looked. The text was all scrunched up with no white space between the lines.

It was sooo hard to read.

I've been helping him with a few things so I asked him if it was OK to go in and try to figure out why it looked like this. He didn't like the way it looked either so he asked me to try and fix it.

So, first I checked the theme. It needed updating so he updated the theme. No joy there.

Next I looked at the CSS, theme options, anything to do with the theme. You name it, I looked at it. Nada, nuttin', zilch.

Now, the plugins. With his permission I deactivated all the active plugins (after I made a list of them, of course). The result?

White space between the lines and much easier to read. You can see the rest of the website here: http://naturallyloseit.org/

Now to isolate the culprit plugin. Alphabetically, one at a time, I activated the plugins and checked the results on the site. Of course it had to be one starting with the letter W - W3 Total Cache. One he didn't really need because his site loads fast anyway. I finished activating the last good plugin and we're both overjoyed with the result.

I just want to let everyone know that sometimes plugins can cause unexpected results on your website. If something is not quite right then check out your plugins to see if one of them is causing problems.

Afterthought:

Maybe it wasn't just that one plugin that caused the problem. Sometimes plugins don't play nicely together.

Have you had any problems like this? Ask a question, share something or leave a comment...
