Hello,
I recently set Legacy Layout Engine to “always”, because I had failures with my caching plugin.
Is it possible that the folling options dosn’t work with the Legacy Layout Engine? I can not find anything.
Row: Cell Vertical Alignment -> has no effect
Row: Collapse Order -> has no effect, left is always on top
General: Tablet Layout -> Does not seem to work (Before, a row with 3 columns collapses to 2 columns and 2 rows. Now, the row collapses no more)
Thanks for your help.
(Sorry for my bad english)
Hi Ben,
That’s odd. To clarify, what cache plugin are you using? We’ve never seen the need to change to the legacy layout engine for a caching before.
Row: Cell Vertical Alignment -> has no effect
That’s intended. That requires the new layout engine to work. With that said, it shouldn’t be visible – that’ll be fixed in the next update.
These two aren’t intended. I’ve logged this as a bug.
Hi,
I use WP Super Cache and Autoptimze.
The mistake is hard to describe, but I’ll try it.
In the beginning I had Legacy Layout Engine on “Detect older Browsers”. This worked well with all modern browsers. Only in IE 10 and below there were some layout problems.
So far so good.
Now it sometimes happened that there were layout problems on some pages. With ALL browsers.
This did not happen at any particular time/hour. And always on different pages. Sometimes on one page, sometimes on all pages. These pages had the same layout issus as the IE always had.
The only thing that helps was to clear the cache of WP Super Cache. Until the issues recurred at some point.
Now I have set “Legacy Layout Engine” to “Always” and since then it works well.
Maybe the Chaching Plugin sometimes cached the “wrong” page and then displayed it for all browsers? I don’t know.
Hi Ben,
That’s definitely the cause for the mismatched pages. Thanks for the heads up on this as this does seem like something that needs to be considered when using a cache plugin.
