• hi,

    been having a hell of a time with my sidebars. Please see this: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/201542?replies=1#post-845337

    to get an idea of where I am right now.

    I would really like to know how I could widen my them and also remove the bullet points that go to the left of Categories, Search, and every other widget so to make the best use of my sidebar space. (when my sidebar shows up that is).

    thanks in advance from everybody,s time and help on this.

    best,

    Mike

  • Link to your site please.

    The sidebar bullets can be changed by something like this in your
    css: ul {list-style-type:none;} for the title bullets and
    ul li {list-style-type:none;} for the items in the list.

    To make that effect the sidebars only name the div first like
    #sidebar ul or .sidebar ul depending on the name of the div and if its class or id.

    Also removing the bullet may not do the trick as they will still be indented. So put in padding-left: 0px;

    Include a link for more accurate answer.

    hi duddha,

    thanks. the bullet thing worked beautiful but like you said and I suspected, still indented.

    the style.css sheet has a bunch of padding-left in the code, which one should I change. I just tried looking through it and I am unsure which to change.

    if you need to see the exact code let me know and i will send you the url.

    thanks a lot for your help…

    and actually, since you seem like you know worlds more than I do, hopefully you could give me a hand with another quick problem.

    how do I remove my sidebars from the pages I have already created, like my About and Contact Us pages.

    thanks man, I REALLY appreciate your help with this. Ive been banging my head against the wall for a few hours at least now. haha

    cheers

    ul,ul li {
    list-style-type:none;
    padding-left:0;
    }

    Put that where you put the stuff from earlier, overwrite it.

    As for the sidebar thing. First I recommend downloading and installing XAMPP and installing WordPress locally. Try out stuff first where you can do no harm. OK, make a backup of your page.php or rename it, take single.php and save it as page.php. That did the trick just now when I was messin round with Mandigo 1.36.2, although the comments section was at the bottom still and I’m not really sure how to get rid of it. That php stuff is a real booger sometimes.

    ?? booger is the a perfect adjective for this.

    since I put list-style-type:none; in a few places last time, I tried the same with padding-left:0; but nothing worked and the margins were still there.

    unless you meant to paste that entire code but I couldn’t find anywhere that said ul,ul li in the whole document.

    sneaky bugger these margins!!

    as for the sidebar on page thing I found this:

    https://wiki.onehertz.com/WordPress/Mandigo/FAQ/How_do_I_make_sidebars_disappear_on_a_particular_page

    and it worked like a charm.

    If I messed up your margin instructions let me know. Thanks duddha. I really appreciate your help.
