some themes add an individual css id (individual to each widget) and a css class (specific to a widget type) to the widget code;
this is done by the way ‘register_sidebar()’ is used in functions.php of the theme: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_sidebar
'before_widget' => '<li id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
(your theme might be different)
this would give you the specific css class to target the category widget.
if you need more detailed help, please post a link to your site.
Hi thanks
That looks a little complicated,
My Site
open functions.php of your theme and search for register_sidebar(
in that section, there might be a line:
'before_widget' => '<div class="widget">',
try and change that to:
'before_widget' => '<div class="widget %2$s">',
the changes should output a widget specific css class, which you should be able to use in your css;
probably, example:
.widget_categories .widget-content { padding-top:60px; padding-left:10px; }
(instead of your .widget-content2 { padding-top:60px; padding-left:10px; } )
That looks a little complicated,
you are possibly right.
you might need to ask the theme’s vendor for support –
helping with a commercial theme is virtually impossible as there is no free access to the theme templates.
Yep The “theme’s vendor” are really no that brilliant either, But I will give it a go.
But I’ve got theme issues with the css and internet explorer as well to sort out now.
In firefox my theme looks good. in internet explorer my site looks like a bomb as hit it. (no really it’s a mess beyond recognition)
how i’am going to sort it, I really don’t know
