WIN! That solved it perfectly. Great job!

Thanks again samhagin. So there is one issue that I discovered – the Float content has a different div id on each page. So what I’ve found is I can get it to work on one page, or I need to do a script for every page (not ideal).

Is there a variation on the jquery script that includes a wildcard, that way it works for any page?

My goodness, that works, thank you so much.

In case anyone else is still struggling, I’ll put it in my layman’s terms:
– create your WP Float content under settings/WP Float Options, Save
– Create a text widget (not a WP Float Widget), I placed mine in the footer so it is present across the whole site
– Copy samhagin’s script above, paste,
– View the html source of your page, find the unique value for the content, mine looked like this:

<div id="12-wpf">
                <span style="color: #ffffff;">Text is located here</span>                     </div>
				<script type='text/javascript'>
                                jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
                                        jQuery('#12-wpf').dcFloater({
                        width: '',
                        location: 'top',
                        align: 'right',
                        offsetLocation:40,
                        offsetAlign:100,
                        speedFloat:'',
                        tabText: '',
                        tabClose: false,
                        easing: 'easeOutQuint',
                        event: 'hover',
			center: true, centerPx: 100,                        disableFloat:true,
                        *******idWrapper: '12-wpf-id',*******

                                        });
                                });

– The line with the asterix is the one you want, copy the value and paste that in in the text widget to replace ‘#wp-float-post-19’
– So my script looks like this:

<script>
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery('#12-wpf-id').css('position','absolute');
});
</script>

Hi, I have the same request. samhagin, where should I place the script you posted above? I am using the WP Float Content option, and have located the unique ID and entered it as you described. However it is still floating.

Gah, so glad I got this resolved. Now I can get on with the rest of my life!!

Crikey- I solved it myself. At my webhost, I had selected an option “Set this WordPress as my homepage.” (Why wouldn’t I?) I just went back and UNset it as my homepage and viola, it worked.

Maybe this will help some other poor soul/idiot who makes the same blunder?
