Framework questions.

[mortenv 0]

Hi! I have a series of questions that I need to find answers to. Here is my site: Tjene Penger. #1(important!): In the header above the brand and further down on the site I have a ad by using the universal sidebar and full width sidebar. I really don't like the all the space above and under them. Especially see the big space between the ad and brand. How can decrease the space on both sides? Padding? What code? #2: I have the plugin WP-125 activated on the site and I my ads now show with a grey border around them. How can I remove this border? #3: I have the search bar activated, but how can I change the text inside that says "Search"? Btw. is there a advertising plugin that works better with Framework than others?

In response to your questions: 1. Try adding this to Custom Code : [code].widget-pad { padding: 2px; } .content-pad { padding: 2px; }[/code] 2. You should use Firebug: http://www.getfirebug.com which is an add-on for Firefox and would help you identify all the CSS elements you wish to change. If you had that, you'd be able to find and test this code: [code].post-meta .c_img, #page .widget_wp125 .wp125ad a, .widget_flickrRSS a img, .srp-widget-thmblink { background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #E9E9E9; border: 1px solid #F3F3F3; box-shadow: 0 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4); } #page .widget_wp125 .wp125ad a { border: 1px solid transparent; display: inline-block; margin: 0 4px 0; padding: 0; }[/code] 3. Are you trying to change the text to a different language? If so, try the info here: http://www.pagelines.com/forum/discussion/17169/how-to-change-a-text-string-with-poedit.#Item_24 There are many ad plugins out there. Each depends on how you want to apply ads and their source. Best to browse around http://www.wordpress.org/extend/plugins

Thanks rangelone. 1#: The answer does work, but this affects my footer sidebar too, which I do not want, if you look at the buttom you see it and it's too tight. Is there a way I can target the universal and full width sidebar only? #2: How do I edit this? Through the custom CSS or my editing the plugin itself? #3: Ok I've had a look here and I'll try to figure it out. Thanks!

1. It's possible to apply it to specific sidebars, but that doesn't resolve the fact that the widget and content pads each have padding. The divs are nested, so if you don't fix those two, any solution for the individual sidebar will not help. If anything, you should use Firebug to find the tag for the footer sidebar and add padding to that. 2. The CSS should be added to Dashboard > Settings > Custom Code > CSS Rules.

1#: Ok. I think I'll leave it like this. Thanks. 2#: Can't seem to get the code to work. I've even tried to set 0px at both borders with no luck.

2. Try this in place of the first part: [code]#page .widget_wp125 .wp125ad a { background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #E9E9E9; border: 1px solid #F3F3F3; box-shadow: 0 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4); }[/code] Again, if you use Firebug, you'll be able to see this, test it live and adjust how you wish.

Once an answer has been given, the topic changes to open status and both priority (new) and open are given equal precedence in our work. Please refrain from using the reject option unless absolutely necessary as it will not give you any added benefit in the timing of our replies.

Thanks for the answers. From previous topics I've never got any answers after I've accepted the answer. So that's why I rejected it, of course I could have left it open instead of rejecting it.

Btw. the WP-125 plugin still has no changes..

[Rob 547]

You don't need to accept. Actually, accepting means you thought the answer was right (the opposite of rejecting), which is why you didn't get any answers. Just reply to things without accepting or rejecting till the issue's resolved, then accept. Let me look again at the plugin to see what it's doing.

[Rob 547]

Add this, but don't take anything else out: [code]#page .widget_wp125 .wp125ad a { border: 0px solid transparent; display: inline-block; margin: 2px 5px 5px; padding: 0; }[/code]
