Aha! Thank you. I took your point and deleted the newsletter signup widget and everything went back to normal. It’s not a plugin. It’s from the author’s newsletter company and what they asked me to use:

Want to get the scoop on discounts and contests? Want to enjoy sneak peeks of works-in-progress. Sign up for the occasional newsletter from Marliss Melton.

<link href="http://www.MyAuthorBiz.com/utils/mab_embedded.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>

<style type="text/css">

// Add your own MyAuthorBiz form style overrides in your site stylesheet or in this style block.

<div id="mab_embedded">

<div class="required_field"><span class="asterisk">*</span> required field</div>

<input type="submit" class="mab_button" value="Subscribe" name="subscribe"/></div>

</form>

</div>

I think there may be an extra div at the end.

Thanks so much!!

Thanks, that was the help I needed to get me on the right track. I’ve used code in both the Display, custom code screen, and a little more in the widget itself.

This got me a little further:

#graphene-dynamic-widget-graphene_top_content

{

display: inline;

margin-left: 10px;

margin-right: 10px;

}

But how do I style the text within the widget so it’s not smashed against the image. I thought it was “textwidget,” using Inspect element in Firefox, rather than my initial “widget_text” but I’m not sure how to do it.

I’m sorry, but I need a bit more help. I even read all this though it didn’t help: http://blog.kjodle.net/2011/11/04/graphene-action-hook-widgets-an-easy-way-to-modify-your-blog/

I went to the custom css feature and tried to style by using this:

#graphene-dynamic-widget-graphene_top_content (which I think is the correct ID for that hook) then I added .widget_text that I got from this forum, but then my padding and margin attempts didn’t seem to do anything.

If someone could correct my ID or the class of widget_text and then give me a rough CSS code to copy that would give a nice margin with the inner padding, I’d greatly appreciate it.

Never mind. So stupid. I forgot to tell my new child theme site to use the Main Menu as the header menu and so it was, I don’t know, doing it’s own thing. But it’s ok now. Thanks.

In reply to: How to give Theme credit in footer

#38902

I used Jose’s code to customize my search box and also to change the footer to the extent that it now just says Graphene them. Can you tell me how to make more changes to the footer, such as adding another company name with a link?

The site is at marlissmelton.com/dev

I understand CSS and some html, but I don’t really understand the php function code, not even what I’ve just cut and pasted to the child theme.

Thanks,

Sydney

Perhaps I have figured it out by using the Action Hooks. Thanks.
