flickr rss feed widget in sidebar

[jingram 1]

Not sure what I am doing wrong here. I have the flickrss widget applied to the right sidebar and instead of it displaying images 3 wide, it is stacking them 2x2x2 down the widget leaving an empty gap where the third image per row should be. When I test on my test theme at pagelines.com, it seems to work fine. Not sure if this is an issue with 3.1 or just me missing something.

Just an idea - Have you checked the width of the sidebar in each theme. It's possible the test theme sidebar is wide enough to accommodate 3 images. You can check it out in the Layout Editor in the PlatformPro Settings. Scott

This isn't platform pro unfortunately, it is iblog4 pro.

Still, have you checked the width of the sidebar in iblog4 pro?

Well in platform that resize is a simple resize. Is there a mechanism to do that in iblog4 pro or do I need to dig into the CSS?

Seems to be something quirky with the plugin and the widget. When you the default flow sidebar and uncheck "Hide Sidebars When Empty (no widgets)" the theme shows all of the widgets and while others don't display properly, the flikrRSS plug in does, which explains why it renders properly on the test page. So, not sure who or what the issue is. Certainly doesn't seem to be column width issue.

what happens if you put the FlickRSS widget in the footer?

Same spacing issue... I tweaked more with the test.pagelines site and everything just works. On our site, this was a fresh install of wordpress, installed your theme and basically started copying the little bit of work we did on the test site and immediately ran into this, which leads me to believe it is an issue with 3.1.

Hey Jack - Also, and I don't think this would be the issue, but: do you have other plugins installed in this new installation? It's possible something's interfering. Either way: though you didn't have to do it with the test install, I would recommend being more explicit with the CSS. Pick out the class of that ul, and set something like

ul.ulClassHere{float:left;width:100%;}

on it. Let us know if you need help with that.

Something was botched with the install. Ended up gutting the server, reisntalling everything from scratch. Pushing the theme, made sure everything looked good and then pushed the 3.1 upgrade. Everything seems to be in order, so not sure what was going on.
