    Hello. We’ve attempted all the normal courses of action (plugin conflict, etc.) to isolate a problem we’re having with a custom theme and GeoDirectory.

    We’ve narrowed it down to the gd_core_frontend.css file, specifically the .hidden class. No other plugin or script on our site uses that class, but we get a white screen for every page on our site unless we remove that class from GeoDirectory’s core stylesheet. Interestingly, the markup doesn’t have a .hidden class anywhere despite it affecting every page on the site

    Any ideas of what this conflict could be?

    Hi Brent,

    Our plugin has CSS for the .hidden class which hides the element. I want to troubleshoot why the hidden class is added to your <html> tag as GD doesn’t add such class to <html> tag by default.

    Regards,
    Patrik

    It’s coming from Modernizr.

    “Looking through the Modernizr download page, it looks like the “hidden” class is added when Modernizr is checking for and detects support for the [hidden] attribute.”

    I can of course customize Modernizr to remove that attribute. But it seems like maybe it’s better in the future to use a less likely conflict name like .gd-hidden or similar in your plugin? .hidden class is likely to be a pretty popular name to hide things and could lead to issues like this. Thanks for helping me identify though–your comment about the HTML tag (I had missed that) led me in the right direction.

    Hi,

    Good to know that you found a solution. We will take a note of this and will update the plugin based on that.
