    In reply to: Styling Question for Custom Menu Widget in Sidebar

    #21700

    First issue: Go back to the custom menu you use in this widget and change the URL of those items to “#”. This will eliminate the link.

    Second issue: target just this widget by using its unique ID. Here’s how: http://blog.kjodle.net/2011/12/05/fun-with-text-widgets-part-two/#Styling_Text_Widgets_by_Targeting_their_ID

    How to style those links is here: http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_link.asp

    They have a “sandbox” you can play around with to try out different possibilities. Try it! It’s a great way to experiment and how I learned tons.

    But the basic format is:

    a:link, a:visted, a:hover, a:active {styling elements;}

    Then all those elements will have the same attributes. Have fun!

    Try this custom CSS:

    .featured_slider {padding-bottom:0px;}

    That will show you what it’s like with no padding; you will probably want to go back and adjust it to something between 0 and 25px, which is the default.

    Well, the adsense aspect of Graphene is not a function — it really just provides a place for your adsense code to go. Google is actually handling displaying the ads. You can, in fact, enter any valid HTML code in the adsense box and it will show up where your adsense code will show up. In fact, for a while, I was displaying ads from both Adsense and Clickochet, just by entering both codes in that box. But you could enter an iframe, a link to an image — whatever — and it will show up there.

    Second question: Page navi doesn’t show up because you only have three posts. Once you have more than the minimum set in the PageNavi settings, it will show up.

    First question: Can you find this image in the Media Gallery? Is it possible that you accidentally deleted via FTP? (This is weird. I have never seen it before? Anybody else?)

    Need this to fullfill german law for protections of copyright

    I know there are a lot of blogs written in German using WordPress. Is it possible that someone has created a plugin that does this already?

    Since this is more of a function issue rather than an appearance issue, it seems to me that this is more a plugin issue rather than a theme issue. See this thread for some thoughts on that.

    I may have left out the most important part: that code goes with the body in the style sheet.

    I don’t think this works in IE7, either. (Interestingly, the latest version of Safari doesn’t handle the theme switcher at all, so +1 to IE on that score.)

    Okay, I did not anticipate that. I really don’t have time to test this right now, but one of the following ideas should work:

    You see your code above? Between #content-main and a try inserting one of the following:

    #post

    or

    .entry

    or

    .entry-content

    or even just

    p

    What this will do is further narrow down the anchors you are targeting. In other words, if you have this:

    #content-main p a

    it would only target anchors that are in a paragraph in the #content-main division of the your blog.

    You may have to use a combination of those, and I can’t guarantee that any of them will work. But it’s worth a shot, because I’m pretty sure one of them will. I would start with the paragraph tag first.

    Good luck, and let us know how it works out for you.

    #previous and #next-post are merely <div>‘s within a larger <div> called .post-nav. Even if you get rid of the smaller containers, the larger one is still there.

    So you might try this:

    div.post-nav {display: none;}

    Not tested, so who knows?

    If you go to my main website (which is so beta it’s still alpha): http://www.kjodle.net

    you can choose various stylesheets. Some of them (like Night Sky) use full-size background images. I stretch them out using this code:

    background-attachment: fixed;
    background-size: 100% 100%, auto;
    -o-background-size: 100% 100%, auto;
    -moz-background-size: 100% 100%, auto;
    -webkit-background-size: 100% 100%, auto;

    This works really well. Keep in mind that if somebody has a really wide monitor, the images can appear distorted.

    Also, keep in mind that this doesn’t work in typewriters, toasters, or IE6.

    Again, do you have an example? Can you point us to a page?
