    Can someone just tell me which file i have to modify?
    i dont understand what files the widget uses to get its style. I am looking for a css file
    to change the visual of the widget. as you can see on the picture i’ve posted earlier:

    From your theme’s CSS. Try using Firefox with the Firebug add-on for this kind of CSS work.

    Hey thanks a lot for that app. it works great.
    The only problem i have is that i only need to modify one widget, when i change the style in the style.css file it changes all widgets.

    What i think i have to do is to add a style for the widgets and copy the same parameters but changing the padding. I can do that.

    What i can’t find is where the widget’s style is called. I guess that each widget calls the same style under style.css
    Is this a good approach?

    Could someone tell me where to change that?

    thanks in advance

    We’d need to see the relevant Widget code, in order to answer that question. I assume you added your Widget using the Widget API (“widget-name extends class WP_Widget….”)? If so, we need to see the function widget() code from inside the class.

    well using the plug in firebird
    i select the widget after the title and this is what i get:

    Oh sorry for that,

    here is the link paste bin for the code:

    Can we have a link a page showing this widget please?

    Yes you can visit the homepage as its on the sidebar:

    It’s the default padding on your sidebar widgets that is causing the problem but, in order to target any new CSS at that specific widget, you’d need to add a new class to that custom(?) widget.

    …which, really, is what I was getting at above, by asking for the function widget() code. But, based on the Pastebin, I wonder if the OP isn’t actually using the Widgets API to create this Widget?

    That doesn’t look like it to me. But then I also noticed that the other widgets all use the same class. Perhaps the theme’s functions.php also needs to be modified to output a unique class or id for each widget as recommended by the Codex? It sure makes like easier long term.
