Frontend seems hard to setup

Managed to fix the color issues. pm_invoice’s style sheets were pretty hidden and somehow not listed in wordpress admin dashboard’s plugin editor. But the misalignment of tabs has be baffled, not sure how to fix that one. The task page also has some pretty evident misalignment as shown below. Any help would be appreciated.

(the task title went so far down away from the checkbox, and the comments box became broken)

Also, where can I go to edit the system generated starting invoice number?

Seems like your theme is putting
tags on the vertical tabs, that’s why they are vertical. Might be shortcode handling problem on theme, I’ve seen this kind of things many times now.

Sorry, what tags? the box in your post looks empty. Do you happen to mean “br” tags? Any idea how to fix it since you’ve seen it many times.

Yes, sorry. Seems like “br” tag was garbled when posted.

I can’t say it from here as I don’t know how the theme is coded. If it’s a premium theme, ask them about it.

I have asked the theme developer and still waiting on response. I’ve also googled a bit and apparently it is a wordpress issue of inserting unwanted “p” and “br” tags.

This page below says the plugin should include the following code to avoid getting those additional tags appearing:
remove_filter('the_content', 'wpautop');

But no idea where to insert this so searched for something else.

I also tried another fix which works perfectly, which is to enclose cpm with raw shortcodes.
[raw][cpm][/raw]
this seems to remove all the unwanted tags!

Great, that would fix it for now 🙂

Using the [raw] shortcode then just shows the [cpm] shortcode as text.
I just want the same page formatting I see in the dashboard.

This is what I see now

Is there a way to set [cpm] to display a specific project?

Yes, to do this first you need to find project ID.
To get project ID, hover your mouse over a project. You will see a URL something like this:
http://example/wp-admin/admin.php?page=cpm_projects&tab=project&action=single&pid=1750

1750 is your project ID.

Then use the shortcode [cpm id=1750]

Perfect.
Thanks!

you need to enter the raw code in the text editor instead of the visual editor (tabs are top right of the input box) under edit page.
