on hover width: auto not working

Assistant
It seems you're having issues with the hover effect for the `.taxonomy-icon` class, specifically with the `width: auto` not working as expected. Here are a few suggestions to troubleshoot and fix the issue:

### 1. CSS Specificity

Make sure that the `hover` styles have higher specificity than the base styles. You can achieve this by ensuring that the hover styles are defined directly under the class you are targeting. For example:

.project-grid:hover .taxonomy-icon {
    width: auto;
    /* Other styles */
}

### 2. Check for Other CSS Conflicts

Inspect the element using your browser's developer tools (usually accessed by right-clicking on the element and selecting "Inspect"). Check for any other CSS rules that might be overriding your hover styles.

### 3. Ensure `.taxonomy-icon` is Not Fixed or Absolute

If the `.taxonomy-icon` is positioned with `position: absolute;`, it may cause `width: auto;` to behave unexpectedly. Try removing the `position: relative;` from `.taxonomy-icon` or adjust the layout to ensure it behaves as expected on hover.

### 4. Add Transition for Width Change

If you want to see a smooth transition when the width changes on hover, you can add a transition for the width property:

.project-grid .taxonomy-icon {
    display: inline-block;
    width: auto;
    transition: width 0.3s ease; /* Add transition */
}

### 5. Check the Parent Container

Make sure that the parent container of `.taxonomy-icon` allows for `width: auto` to function properly. If the parent has fixed dimensions, it might constrain the child elements.

### 6. Example Updated CSS

Here’s an updated version of your CSS with the transition included:

.project-grid .taxonomy-icon {
    display: inline-block;
    width: auto;
    transition: width 0.3s ease; /* Smooth transition for width */
}

.project-grid:hover .taxonomy-icon {
    width: auto; /* On hover */
    /* Other styles */
}

### 7. Test Changes

After making these adjustments, test the hover effect again to see if it resolves the issue. If the issue persists, you may need to share more context about your HTML structure or any other related styles that might be influencing the behavior.

taxonomy-icon width still not increasing just button text out sider of box
Assistant
If the `width` of the `.taxonomy-icon` is not increasing as expected and the button text is appearing outside of the box, you may need to make some adjustments to your layout and CSS. Here are a few steps to troubleshoot and fix this issue:

### 1. Adjust the Layout

Ensure that the container for `.taxonomy-icon` can accommodate its content. If it’s not adjusting properly, try changing its `display` property or its container's layout.

### 2. Modify CSS

Here’s an updated version of your CSS, ensuring that the `.taxonomy-icon` container has the appropriate styles for a smooth transition and proper layout:

.project-grid .taxonomy-icon {
    display: flex; /* Change to flex to allow content to dictate width */
    align-items: center; /* Center align items vertically */
    justify-content: center; /* Center align items horizontally */
    position: relative; /* Maintain positioning context */
    transition: width 0.3s ease; /* Add transition for width change */
    width: 40px; /* Set a default width */
}

.project-grid:hover .taxonomy-icon {
    width: auto; /* Allow the width to increase on hover */
}

/* Additional adjustments to ensure button text visibility */
.project-grid .taxonomy-icon .button-name {
    display: inline-block; /* Ensure it respects the container's width */
    position: relative; /* Adjust positioning */
    left: 0; /* Align to the left */
    white-space: nowrap; /* Prevent line breaks */
    opacity: 0; /* Start invisible */
    transition: transform 0.3s ease, opacity 0.3s ease; /* Smooth transition */
    color: #225BC0; /* Button text color */
}

.project-grid:hover .taxonomy-icon .button-name {
    transform: translateX(0); /* Bring into view */
    opacity: 1; /* Fade in */
}

### 3. Ensure Proper Flexbox Usage

Make sure that the parent container of `.taxonomy-icon` is also a flex container if needed. For example:

.project-taxonomy-grid .project-grid .term-description {
    display: flex; /* Ensure flexbox layout */
    justify-content: space-between; /* Space items evenly */
    align-items: center; /* Align items vertically */
}

### 4. Inspect with Developer Tools

Use your browser's developer tools to inspect the `.taxonomy-icon` during hover. Look for:

– Any conflicting styles applied to `.taxonomy-icon`.
– If the hover effect is being triggered correctly.
– The computed styles for `.taxonomy-icon` to see if the width is changing.

### 5. Example HTML Structure

Here’s a simplified example of how your HTML structure might look to ensure everything is set up correctly:

<div class="project-taxonomy-grid">
    <div class="project-grid">
        <div class="term-description">
            <div class="taxonomy-icon">
                <img src="icon.png" alt="Icon" />
                <span class="button-name">More Info</span>
            </div>
            <div class="description">Description goes here</div>
        </div>
        <img src="image.jpg" alt="Project Image" />
    </div>
</div>

### 6. Adjusting Icon Size

If the icon size is impacting the layout, make sure to set appropriate sizes for images or icons within the `.taxonomy-icon`.

### 7. Test Adjustments

After making these adjustments, test the hover effect again. If you continue to face issues, please provide more context, such as the HTML structure or any additional CSS that might be affecting the layout.

Let me know how it goes or if you need further assistance!

Assistant
If the width of the `.taxonomy-icon` is not increasing as expected on hover, and the button text is appearing outside of the box, it may be due to several factors in your CSS layout or HTML structure. Here are some strategies to resolve this:

### 1. Ensure Proper Structure

First, ensure that your HTML structure is correct. The `.taxonomy-icon` should wrap around both the icon and the button text. Here's an example structure you can follow:

<div class="project-grid">
    <div class="taxonomy-icon">
        <img src="icon.png" alt="Icon" class="icon">
        <span class="button-name">More info</span>
    </div>
</div>

### 2. Adjust CSS Properties

You might want to adjust the CSS properties for the `.taxonomy-icon` and the button to ensure they behave as expected. Here’s an example of what you can do:

.project-taxonomy-grid .project-grid .taxonomy-icon {
    position: relative;
    display: inline-block;
    padding: 12.6px; /* Add padding to create space around the icon */
    transition: width 0.3s ease; /* Smooth transition for width */
    overflow: hidden; /* Prevent overflow of child elements */
}

.project-grid .taxonomy-icon .button-name {
    display: inline-block;
    position: absolute; /* Ensure it overlays the icon */
    left: 100%; /* Start off-screen to the right */
    white-space: nowrap; /* Prevent text from wrapping */
    opacity: 0; /* Initially invisible */
    transition: transform 0.3s ease, opacity 0.3s ease; /* Smooth slide and fade */
    color: #225BC0;
}

.project-grid:hover .taxonomy-icon .button-name {
    transform: translateX(-100%); /* Slide into view on hover */
    opacity: 1; /* Fade in */
}

### 3. Modify Hover Styles

Ensure that when you hover over `.taxonomy-icon`, it properly adjusts its width and that the button text slides in correctly. You can adjust the hover styles to ensure they apply correctly:

.project-grid:hover .taxonomy-icon {
    width: auto; /* Allow width to expand */
}

.project-grid:hover .taxonomy-icon .icon {
    transform: translateX(-100%); /* Slide the icon out of view */
    opacity: 0; /* Fade out the icon */
}

### 4. Remove Fixed Width

Make sure you don't have a fixed width on the `.taxonomy-icon` or any of its parents that could be constraining it. If a parent element has a set width, it can prevent the child from expanding.

### 5. Use Flexbox for Layout

Consider using Flexbox to align the items inside `.taxonomy-icon`, which will allow better control over spacing and alignment:

.project-taxonomy-grid .project-grid .taxonomy-icon {
    display: flex; /* Use flexbox for alignment */
    align-items: center; /* Center items vertically */
    transition: width 0.3s ease;
}

### 6. Final Check

After making these adjustments, be sure to check your changes in the browser’s developer tools to see how the styles are applied. You can also check for any console errors or warnings that might give clues about layout issues.

### Example Updated CSS

Here's an updated CSS snippet incorporating some of these ideas:

.project-taxonomy-grid .project-grid .taxonomy-icon {
    display: flex; /* Use flexbox for layout */
    align-items: center; /* Center items */
    position: relative;
    padding: 12.6px; /* Add padding */
    overflow: hidden; /* Prevent overflow */
    transition: width 0.3s ease;
}

.project-grid:hover .taxonomy-icon {
    width: auto; /* Allow width to expand */
}

.project-grid .taxonomy-icon .button-name {
    display: inline-block;
    position: absolute; /* Overlay the button */
    left: 100%; /* Start off-screen */
    white-space: nowrap; /* Prevent text wrapping */
    opacity: 0; /* Initially invisible */
    transition: transform 0.3s ease, opacity 0.3s ease; /* Smooth transition */
    color: #225BC0;
}

.project-grid:hover .taxonomy-icon .button-name {
    transform: translateX(-100%); /* Slide into view */
    opacity: 1; /* Fade in */
}

.project-grid .taxonomy-icon .icon {
    display: inline-block;
    transition: transform 0.3s ease, opacity 0.3s ease;
    /* Other icon styles */
}

.project-grid:hover .taxonomy-icon .icon {
    transform: translateX(-100%); /* Slide out */
    opacity: 0; /* Fade out */
}

With these adjustments, the button text should slide into view correctly without going outside the box. Let me know if you have further issues!

User
this is the structure
Assistant
Thank you for sharing the HTML structure. Based on this, let's refine the CSS to ensure that the hover effect works correctly for the `.taxonomy-icon` and that the button text (`.button-name`) appears as intended.

### Updated CSS

Given your structure, you can apply the following CSS to achieve the desired hover effect:

.project-taxonomy-grid {
    display: flex;
    justify-content: space-between;
    gap: 20px;
    flex-wrap: wrap;
}

.project-grid {
    flex: 1 1 30%; /* Ensure the grid items take appropriate space */
    position: relative;
    overflow: hidden; /* Ensure no overflow from the child elements */
}

.project-grid .term-description {
    background-color: #225BC0;
    padding: 10px 16px;
    color: #fff;
    font-family: 'Archia-medium', sans-serif;
    font-size: 20px;
    font-weight: 500;
    margin-bottom: 8px;
    display: flex;
    flex-direction: row;
    justify-content: space-between;
    align-items: center;
    position: relative; /* Allow positioning of children */
}

.taxonomy-icon {
    display: flex; /* Use flexbox for icon and button */
    align-items: center; /* Align items vertically */
    position: relative; /* Allow absolute positioning of button name */
}

.icon-container {
    display: flex; /* Ensure proper alignment of the icon and button name */
    align-items: center;
    position: relative; /* Allow positioning for hover effects */
    transition: width 0.3s ease; /* Smooth transition for width */
}

.icon {
    display: inline-block; /* Ensure the icon is treated as inline-block */
    width: auto; /* Allow the width to adjust */
    transition: transform 0.3s ease, opacity 0.3s ease; /* Smooth transition for icon */
}

.button-name {
    display: inline-block; /* Ensure it can be positioned properly */
    position: absolute; /* Position it absolutely */
    left: 100%; /* Start off-screen to the right */
    white-space: nowrap; /* Prevent text from wrapping */
    opacity: 0; /* Initially invisible */
    transition: transform 0.3s ease, opacity 0.3s ease; /* Smooth slide and fade */
    color: #225BC0;
}

.project-grid:hover .taxonomy-icon .icon {
    transform: translateX(-100%); /* Slide the icon out of view */
    opacity: 0; /* Fade out the icon */
}

.project-grid:hover .taxonomy-icon .button-name {
    transform: translateX(-100%); /* Slide "More info" into view */
    opacity: 1; /* Fade in */
}

/* Image styles */
.project-grid .img-box img {
    width: 100%; /* Make sure images are responsive */
    height: 229px; /* Set a fixed height for the images */
    object-fit: cover; /* Ensures the image covers the area without distortion */
}

.project-taxonomy-grid .project-grid .description {
    font-family: 'Archia-medium', sans-serif;
    font-size: 18px;
    font-weight: 500;
    color: #fff;
    padding: 36px 20px;
    background-color: #225BC0;
    position: absolute;
    bottom: 0;
    opacity: 0.89;
}

### Key Changes Explained

1. **Flexbox Usage**: I've used Flexbox in the `.taxonomy-icon` to ensure that the icon and button are aligned properly. This will help keep them together as you transition.

2. **Positioning**: The `.button-name` is absolutely positioned relative to the `.taxonomy-icon`. This allows it to slide into view without affecting the layout of the other elements.

3. **Transitions**: I've included transitions for both the icon and button name to create a smooth effect when hovering.

4. **Hover Effects**: On hover, the icon slides out and the button name slides into view, providing the desired interaction.

### Final Testing

Make sure to test this updated CSS with your existing HTML structure. Adjust any other CSS properties as necessary to match your design requirements. If you encounter further issues or specific behaviors that aren't working as expected, feel free to share, and I'll be happy to help!

now button and arrow not showing
Assistant
If the button and arrow are not showing as expected after implementing the hover effects, it could be due to several factors in your CSS or the way the elements are structured. Here are steps to ensure that the button text and the icon are correctly displayed and positioned:

### 1. Verify HTML Structure

Ensure your HTML structure remains the same as you provided. Here’s a quick recap of the relevant part:

<div class="project-grid">
    <div class="term-description">
        <div><?php echo $term->name ?></div>
        <div class="taxonomy-icon">
            <a href="<?php echo esc_url($term_link) ?>" class="icon-container">    
                <img src="<?php echo get_stylesheet_directory_uri() ?>/icons/Shape.svg" class="icon" />
                <span class="button-name"><?php echo __('Mehr erfahren','solaron') ?></span>
            </a>
        </div>
    </div>
    <div class="img-box">
        <img src="<?php echo $image ?>" />
        <div class="description"><?php echo $description ?></div>
    </div>
</div>

### 2. Ensure Icon and Button Are Visible

Make sure that both the icon and the button text are not getting hidden or positioned outside of their containing element. You may need to adjust their styles to ensure they are displayed properly.

### 3. Update CSS

Here’s an updated CSS snippet to ensure visibility and proper display of the button and icon:

.project-taxonomy-grid {
    display: flex;
    justify-content: space-between;
    gap: 20px;
    flex-wrap: wrap;
}

.project-grid {
    flex: 1 1 30%;
    position: relative;
    overflow: hidden; /* Prevent overflow of child elements */
}

.project-grid .term-description {
    background-color: #225BC0;
    padding: 10px 16px;
    color: #fff;
    font-family: 'Archia-medium', sans-serif;
    font-size: 20px;
    font-weight: 500;
    margin-bottom: 8px;
    display: flex;
    flex-direction: row;
    justify-content: space-between;
    align-items: center;
}

.taxonomy-icon {
    display: flex; /* Use flexbox for icon and button */
    align-items: center; /* Align items vertically */
    position: relative; /* Allow absolute positioning of button name */
}

.icon-container {
    display: flex; /* Ensure proper alignment of the icon and button name */
    align-items: center;
    position: relative; /* Allow positioning for hover effects */
    overflow: hidden; /* Prevent content overflow */
}

.icon {
    display: inline-block;
    width: auto;
    transition: transform 0.3s ease, opacity 0.3s ease; /* Smooth transition for icon */
}

.button-name {
    display: inline-block; /* Ensure it can be positioned properly */
    position: absolute; /* Position it absolutely */
    left: 100%; /* Start off-screen to the right */
    white-space: nowrap; /* Prevent text wrapping */
    opacity: 0; /* Initially invisible */
    transition: transform 0.3s ease, opacity 0.3s ease; /* Smooth slide and fade */
    color: #225BC0;
}

.project-grid:hover .taxonomy-icon .icon {
    transform: translateX(-100%); /* Slide the icon out of view */
    opacity: 0; /* Fade out the icon */
}

.project-grid:hover .taxonomy-icon .button-name {
    transform: translateX(-100%); /* Slide "More info" into view */
    opacity: 1; /* Fade in */
}

/* Image styles */
.project-grid .img-box img {
    width: 100%; /* Make sure images are responsive */
    height: 229px; /* Set a fixed height for the images */
    object-fit: cover; /* Ensures the image covers the area without distortion */
}

.project-taxonomy-grid .project-grid .description {
    font-family: 'Archia-medium', sans-serif;
    font-size: 18px;
    font-weight: 500;
    color: #fff;
    padding: 36px 20px;
    background-color: #225BC0;
    position: absolute;
    bottom: 0;
    opacity: 0.89;
}

### 4. Test Visibility

1. **Check Visibility**: Make sure the `button-name` is positioned correctly on hover. If the icon fades out, the button should slide in. Ensure there’s no CSS rule that is hiding it.

2. **Inspect with Developer Tools**: Use your browser's developer tools to inspect the elements. Check if the `button-name` is being rendered and if any styles are preventing it from being visible.

3. **Adjust Positioning**: If the button is still not showing, try temporarily removing the `position: absolute;` from the `.button-name` and see if it appears. This can help determine if positioning is causing the issue.

### 5. Debugging with Temporary Styles

To help with debugging, you can temporarily add some styles to make it easier to see where elements are:

.button-name {
    background-color: rgba(255, 0, 0, 0.5); /* Temporary background to see button */
}

### Conclusion

After applying these changes, test your layout again. If the button still doesn’t show, please check if any additional CSS rules or JavaScript interactions are affecting the visibility. If you continue to experience issues, let me know, and we can troubleshoot further!
