Hi,

still have some css problems but I’m not too far away now.

When I use the widget, I would like to style by using an aside id tag.
As it is at the moment I simply can’t figure out how to make up the css.

If I use the shortcode tag and use it as a text widget, I do get the aside id tag which makes it easier to manipulate in css for me, however, the text looses it’s paragraphs, enters etc. It looses the lay out and the text is displayed one word and line after another.

If you know where to look for this, or what is the easiest way I’m open to suggestions. But I think this is a wordpress related thing, not just something with the plugin…

Anyway, you can have a peak here if you want to

EDIT:

I took a chance and used a shortcode not in the list, which worked.
Instead of auto_excerpt=true I used display_content=true, which displays the full post including the layout.

It works like a charm, brilliant !

Just one more question though, I have the plugin working through a widget.
So the widget already shows exactly what I want how I want it. In my case the latest news item.

Is there a way to include it in the widget too, or do I need to use the shortcode and start rebuilding the layout from there ?

I added the shortcode as a widget below the nlp widget and it also disables the css from the nlp widget as well, so it is working like a charm.

Moving the altered default css and including the code in the theme css is not working at the moment, but that is probably due to the fact that it is in a widget so I’ll start working on that.

Many thanks for this great plugin, you deserve a medal ??

Hi José,

I managed to do the trick with adding some extra css to the plugin.

I’m still looking for a way to make the post title appear after the widget title, though not sure if this can be done.

Only chose is through positioning with css I take it ?

well thanks for the help guys, really.
if it is more important to you weighing the words one uses instead of actually being a little more detailed with a rookie, well congratulations to you.

I’m done.

then what’s wrong with someone asking for additional detailed info on how to do this ?? Nothing wrong with somebody acutally willing to learn it or not ?

They can’t all be tech savy like you, obviously.

It’s unfair to ask volunteers for this, it sounds as though you’re undervaluing the work of web developers.

This is a forum to ask for help is it not ?

well, not too handy I’m afraid. Simple basics but one of the reasons why I switched over to wordpress was to get rid of the php things.

I know how to implement them so if I would know exactly in detail what to do or what code to use I could pull this off.

But it would require someone who would be willing to write the whole thing down for me… Hopefully you’re willing to do this ?

thanks in advance, Nick.

eurm, themes and templates, says in the category that css problems should be here. “XHTML and CSS” in the description.

I am about to create a child theme, started making a lot of changes before I was aware one should do that in the first place.

I would like to make this last final change and then go on with creating the child theme, and update wordpress right after that.

hmmm trying to fix this bot the content shifts with it, the content just gets smaller.

will try to figure it out tomorrow.

ok, I’m up for that.

Any thoughts on how it might be done, I mean suggestions are welcome, how would you do this ?

well, left to absorb the date, my guess is 70px both left and right, since the “Date box” is width:60px;.
So obviously right the same 70px to keep it tidy.

.postdate {
  position: relative;
  font-family: Georgia, serif;
  color: #000;
  background-color:rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.4);
margin-left:-4em;
float: left;
width:60px;
}

.day, .month, .year {
  position: absolute;
  }

.day {
  font-size: 30px;
  top: 15px;
  }

.month {
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  font-size: 18px;
  }

.year {
  top: 10px;
  right: 0;
  font-size: 20px;
  rotation: -90deg !important;
  /* ** Hacks ** */
  -webkit-transform: rotate(-90deg);
  -moz-transform: rotate(-90deg);
  }

yes it’s the white transparent,
in css like this

.entry-title{
background-color:rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.4);
}
.entry-content{
background-color:rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.4);
}

I won’t be updating anytime soon, if I will I’ll make sure all the changes are preserved so I don’t loose the whole thing. Via a child theme, still a lot to do but I already came a long way on this one ??

I tried editing the ListAllPagesFromCategory.php from the map to categories plugin but that didn’t work.

Really stuck on this one.

Hi,

been working on that rss feed.
I nearly got there but I get a blank page (the stripped down version) or absolutely nothing on the testnews.php page.

can you pinpoint the cause ? I used the simplepie plugin.

https://www.corvidworks.com/articles/easy-feed-reading-with-simplepie

here’s the page as it is now
https://fortherestless.com/testnews.php

now leaving for home so will post some additional info when I get home if needed.

in the fortherestless.com/forms are 4 seperate installations of wordpress, yes.

fortherestless.com/news.php shows the contents via fortherestless.com/forms/newz/
fortherestless.com/diary.php via fortherestless.com/forms/diary/
fortherestless.com/media.php via fortherestless.com/forms/media/
fortherestless.com/tours.php via fortherestless.com/forms/tours/

the php pages use the short and sweet code and call each time for the wp-blog-header.php files in the newz, diary, media and tours folders.

and yes, sorry, typo; it should be login/events…

That’s how I got it working.

So naturally I tried doing the same with the new installation but there was a slight hickup.
So under the fortherestless.com/login are now 4 subdirdectories, which I importerd the content to.

So now I want to have the php files show the content from the new installation
fortherestless.com/news.php via fortherestless.com/login/newz/
fortherestless.com/diary.php via fortherestless.com/login/diary/
fortherestless.com/media.php via fortherestless.com/login/media/
fortherestless.com/tours.php via fortherestless.com/login/tours/

the short and seet code can not work since the wp-blog-header.php is not in those folders as they are virtual, so I used the only existing file in the root install, fortherestless.com/login/.

When I do this, I get the error message from my first post.

OK, rss importer.
A plugin I presume ?
