[Plugin: Flexible Posts Widget] Styling Issues

    I know this is probably simple CSS somewhere, but I have no real idea where to find the solution in all the code.

    I want to use the Flexible Post Widget because I show the last 5 posts on my main page, so I want the Widget to show the next 5 in the sidebar, that part works just fine.

    My problem is with the styling, I can’t seem to get the style to be the same as the other lists in the sidebar which are default widgets. I managed to scale down the side by removing the h4 references in the widget.php, but I can’t get it to match the Color, no underline, and arrow as the bullet in the list like the recent posts, pages, categories and every other list widget that is going into the sidebar.

    While you say that the widget doesn’t do any styling, I feel like it’s doing something to strip out any intended style that would be carrying over from the overall CSS on the site.

    I searched out in the main Styles.css to find any mention of “.widget.widget_recent_entries ul li” or “.widget.widget_pages” and added in bits for “.widget.widget_dpe_fp_widget” hoping that would solve the problem, but it hasn’t helped at all.

    Any advice would be helpful.

    Hi BosGuy123,

    FPW doesn’t add any styles to the public site at all. However, not all themes take into account widgets that are added by 3rd-party plugins. I can’t really give you a one-size-fits all solution as every theme uses a different styling system.

    If you are comfortable writing your own styles using CSS, you can always edit your theme’s stylesheet or create a child-theme to work in. Otherwise, you’d probably be better off hiring a designer/front end developer to tackle it for you.

    Sorry I can’t be of more specific help.
