Those of you who use the excellent Subscribe To comments plugin may have noticed a slight problem with it, although it appears to be theme related and may not affect everyone. If you are affected, the ‘Subscribe to comments’  checkbox will appear with a big gap between it and the comments box, instead of directly underneath. There is an option in the plugins configuration page to do a ‘CSS clear’ which should fix the problem, but doesn’t.

The solution is very simple, and was pointed out to me by Matt @ eJabs who directed me to the answer at O’Flaherty blog.

Simply find the following code, which appears 3 times in the plugin PHP file:

‹p <?php if ($sg_subscribe->clear_both) echo ’style=”clear: both;” ‘; ?>class=”subscribe-to-comments”›

and replace it with:

‹p›

Simple as that. The 3 incidences are immediately below the text:

1. This is the text that is displayed for users who are NOT subscribed
2. This is the text that is displayed for the author of the post
3. This is the text that is displayed for users who ARE subscribed

Worked straight away for me, but obviously take a copy of the plugin file before editing.
