    This is my first web so I’m quite lost. I’m trying to “merge” the widget titled “Find a Translator” with the one bellow (the one with the scroll bar).

    How can I do it?

    Thanks.

    No (that I know…) would you be so kind to tell me how to do it, please?

    Sure, ask your hosts for your FTP (File Transfer Protocol) credentials.
    Then use FTP software like FileZilla, enter your credentials in the software and you should then have access to the files and folders of your website.

    What’s the point of making 2 widgets and try to make them look like one ?

    If you need 1 widget, then go make 1 widget.

    Go to Appearance > widgets and find widget with title “Find A Translater” then copy everything inside, then open another widget (right below the first one) and paste what copied earlier on the top of what’s already there, on this widget give it a title “Find A Translater”, save this widget, and delete the first one.

    That’s all you need.

    Thanks for the suggestion, the problem is I don’t want everything to scroll down. I would like the “find a translator” title and text to be fixed and the rest (“french”…) to scroll. If you knew how to do this it would be great, but I have no idea, so I thought that “merging” the two of them would be easier…

    Yes, you could have that in 1 widget, fixed title, content with a scroll bar.

    But just because you could doesn’t mean you should.

    What’s the point of making that part fixed height with scroll bar ?
    What’s the benefit of doing so ?

    From the design perspective, or from the UX, there is no reason to do so. Why make it harder to get to the content ? Why don’t you let users see list of all the available languages in one snapshot ?

    The point is that list is gonna get quite long, by then, in my opinion, it won’t look good and it would be quite awkward to select a language. Anyway, the main problem here is I have no idea so I’m just trying to find an “easy but fine” solution for this…

    There are many ways, correct ways to display that kind of information, but making it a 100px fixed height with a vertical scroll bar doesn’t seeem right.

    But it’s your site, so you make the call.

    You can have what you want in 1 widget by wrapping the area with a div that has fixed height and overflow-y set to auto, since it’s a text widget so you can just use inline CSS for that.

    <div style="height:100px;overyflow-y:auto;">
    (content limited to 100px height and a vertical scroll bar)
    </div>

    and yes, you can have it in 2 widgets and adjust CSS to make it look like 1 but you got to be able to put this in the lowest part of your child theme’s style.css

    	padding-bottom: 0;
    	padding-top: 0;
    	margin-bottom: 0;
    	border-bottom: none;
    	border-radius: 4px 4px 0 0;
    }
    
    #black-studio-tinymce-7 {
    	border-top: none;
    	border-radius: 0 0 4px 4px;
    }

    Ok, thanks. It’s done. I agree with you it doesn’t look as I wish, but that will do by now. Thanks very much for the help.
