Resolved, thanks

I’m using the cache engine of Wordfence plugin.
I will clear the cache right away for you, just to make sure.

If you check the font with Firebug, it shows up as Open Sans.
But if you look at it, it looks like Times New Roman.
Is that the case for you too?

I removed it temporarily so that you could see the initial CSS.
Now it’s back on.
The answer to your question is yes, it’s still there.

To clarify, Chrome seems to be working fine, but Firefox doesn’t.
Maybe that helps somehow?

On this page, I change the CSS from:

.entry ol, .entry ul {
    margin: 0 0 15px 30px;
}

to

.entry ol, .entry ul {
    color: #777;
    font-family: Open Sans;
    font-size: 16px;
    margin: 0 0 15px 30px;
}

but after saving, it doesn’t change to Open Sans

I’m using the CSS Editor, which edits the child theme’s CSS.

Found it!

I removed the CSS entry completely

.my-ad-widget {
  float:left;
}

It now works perfectly.

Thank you so much!

I think I found (part of) what’s wrong.

The code needs to be in php tags

<div class="pad group">
		<?php
			echo '<div class="my-ad-widget">';		// create the widget div
			dynamic_sidebar('sidebar-ads1');		// show the widget
			echo '</div>'; 				 	// close the widget div ?>
		<?php get_template_part('inc/featured'); ?>

Now the widget appears, but it also shows a massive gap between the bottom of the widget and the first two regular posts, and it hides the featured post completely.

Almost there…

Here’s the code, if it may be of any help

<?php get_header(); ?>

<section class="content">

	<?php get_template_part('inc/page-title'); ?>

	<div class="pad group">
	echo '<div class="my-ad-widget">';		// create the widget div
	dynamic_sidebar('sidebar-ads1');		// show the widget
	echo '</div>'; 				 	// close the widget div
		<?php get_template_part('inc/featured'); ?>

		<?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>

			<?php if ( ot_get_option('blog-standard') == 'on' ): ?>
				<?php while ( have_posts() ): the_post(); ?>
					<?php get_template_part('content-standard'); ?>
				<?php endwhile; ?>
			<?php else: ?>
<div class="post-list group">

<?php $i = 1;								// initialize the post counter
echo '<div class="post-row">';				// create the post-row div
while ( have_posts() ): the_post(); ?>		<!-- while we have posts -->
	<?php get_template_part('content'); ?>		<!-- display the post -->

	<?php if ($i % 2 == 0) {				// if we've shown 2 posts
		echo '</div>';						// close this post-row div

		// BEGIN insert my custom widget after 6 posts
		if ($i % 6== 0) {					// if we've displayed 6 posts
			echo '<div class="my-ad-widget">';		// create the widget div
			dynamic_sidebar('sidebar-ads1');		// show the widget
			echo '</div>'; 				 	// close the widget div
		}
		// END insert my custom widget

    echo '<div class="post-row">';			// create the next post-row div
	}

	$i++;									// increment the post counter
endwhile;
echo '</div>';								// close the trailing post-row div
?>

</div><!--/.post-list-->
			<?php endif; ?>

			<?php get_template_part('inc/pagination'); ?>

		<?php endif; ?>

	</div><!--/.pad-->

</section><!--/.content-->

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

It is not working properly (because I’m definitely doing something wrong here).

If I follow the instructions in this post, it all goes fine: the widget appears as follows:

Featured post
post | post
post | post
post | post
widget

But after I move the code you mentioned last in your post above it doesn’t work properly. Here’s what I see in the site:

https://oi58.tinypic.com/1jb8nk.jpg

The widget reappears correctly like before

xxxxxx <<<<-error
Featured post
post | post
post | post
post | post
widget <<<<<-here

What am I doing wrong?

If I wanted to do this without the use of dynamic sidebars, would I still use the code in the last part of your reply, or is it a differnt code for that?

Sorry to revive this old thread.
I would like to have a similar setup:

widget 1
Featured post
post | post
post | post
widget 2
post | post
post | post
widget 2
post | post
post | post

Is that possible?
What should I change in bdbrown’s code above to get this?

Thanks in advance

Yes, I saw this thread as resolved and I thought it wouldn’t be monitored any longer so I opened a different one. Apologies for that and thank you for your time.

Perfect! Thank you very much!

Returning to ask, can the same be done with the menu as well?

I mean, when not in mobile view, is there a way to center the menu instead of having it aligned to the left?

Using a child theme.

That’s fantastic, thank you so much!
