Can anyone see why changing 'page_id' => 38, from an ID of a Post to an ID of a Page wouldn’t work? I have a new site I am implementing this same code and I still cannot get a page to show up in the sidebar, only a Post. I’ve used various page IDs and none will work. Any post ID I use works perfectly. I would really rather display a page than a post in this scenario. This client doesn’t maintain a blog so this would be the only post in the site. Displaying a page makes more sense. The idea is to make the “Current Heating Oil Prices” easily editable by the client.

New site build is here. Thanks a lot.

DOH! It was the font! The font on the site is mainly Palatino and apparently that font doesn’t support the arrow glyph. I switched it to Georgia and arrows appeared.

Josh, that worked perfectly! Thanks again for supporting your awesome plugin.

Sorry, here’s a link to the site.

@mike – Shortcoder is a plugin that generates the shortcode for you. You write HTML in the plugin admin and place the shortcode in WYSIWYG. There’s no need to use PHP in the template files with this plugin. I’m using shortcode so my client doesn’t break my lengthy code in WYSIWYG. If you can, take a peek at Shortcoder. Makes it so you don’t need template files and the shortcode can be placed multiple times throughout site if need be. So I think I still have a problem where my image code isn’t jiving with the Shortcoder plugin. Don’t know if its the caption brackets [ ] or what.

Last resort would be to use more templates files but it is overkill for what I’m doing (placing 5 images in a page).

The preview doesn’t even look right so I know it’s not my CSS causing an issue. I place the same code in the page editor and it displays perfectly on the site, but then I use the shortcode instead and the caption displays funny. It’s live here. The 5 images on top is the code placed in the page editor and the 5 below is how the shortcode displays the same code. Is it because of the brackets the captions use??

Yeah, my header.php file had style in it. Not sure which plugin placed it there but that solved it. Thanks for the reply!

Just wanted to add that the first posted solution by JonMadof worked to get rid of spaces between my cells. I had added a background color and a hover highlight and hated the spaces that were visible.

.wp-table-reloaded {
border: none!important;
border-collapse: collapse!important;
border-spacing: 0px!important;
padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px!important;
}

This worked to get rid of the spaces. I didn’t need the margin detail in there for it to work. Thanks to you both.

Ah, I see a little more clearly. It’s still funky to me but it makes sense as well. Also, your code was missing a quotation after =. It’s working now. Thanks for the really quick reply.
<?php wp_list_pages('child_of=4&title_li='); ?>

I’ve been looking in to this as well. Both sites that I used this plugin with anger me when I use my droid x. The switcher should remember the choice by the viewer and not continue to ask or even throw the viewer back in to the mobile site. This happens on my desktop even! I clicked the mobile link to check my css and now it keeps throwing me back to the mobile theme. I had to clear cookies to get it to stop. Has anyone solved this?

Ok, for anyone interested or having similar issues:

WordPress was definitely stripping some code (or at least leaving gaps) when I pasted the script and form code in to the pae editor in HTML view so I had to create a new page template for this Shopping page and add the script and form code there. Thanks to Chad for the code example to follow. I had never done that before or really had any idea how it should be done but it’s working perfectly.

Developer got back to me via his website. Answer was:

There is not an option within the shortcode to specify a CSS class name. All you need to do is wrap the shortcode in a div. You can give the div a class and/or inline styles from there. Something like this should do the trick:

<div class="googleagenda">
[stout_gc id=1]
</div>

Thanks to Matt for a great plugin and support. Cheers.

I’m now trying to add a class to the shortcode but can’t get that to work either. I know this should be a simple thing to do. Anyone?

Right on Mike, that worked perfectly when I placed that in the style_structure.css file in the mobile theme. I could swear I had tried that exact class but whatever works, I’m happy. You’re the best, man.

@alchymyth, I think I have it mainly figured out using different CSS. I was going to reply when I got a definite answer. Thanks a lot for replying. I think the answer is that the item needs to use relative positioning. Before it wasn’t specified. That seems to have solved it for me.
