    Hello,

    I have a WordPress blog with the Constructor theme which I’m trying to adapt to my needs.
    My blog: http://www.ticor.be

    I’m struggling with two things and I hope that someone can help me out:

    1. – I would like to add more space between the sidebar headings (Recent Posts, Recent comments, Tags, Archive, …). I’ve been going trough the style.css, but whatever I try I don’t succeed. Is this possible to do?

    2. – Is it possible to change the font size of the Archive’s dropdown menu in the sidebar?

    I hope you can help me out with these two things.
    Many thanks in advance!

    1. – I would like to add more space between the sidebar headings (Recent Posts, Recent comments, Tags, Archive, …)

    look for this CSS element in your style.css:

    .widget h3 {

    to above element, add the following property:

    margin-top:20px;

    adjust “20px” to your liking.

    sorry, forgot to type this:

    look for this CSS element in your style.css:

    input, button, textarea, select, optgroup, option {

    make font-size:

    font-size:12px;

    adjust 12px to your liking. make sure this change does not have side-effect somewhere else.

    Hi t-p,

    Thank you so much for the help!
    unfortunately I read your post too late and tried to change the CSS on good luck and it worked.
    I’m not sure if what I did is ok. What do you think?

    – For adding extra space between the sidebar headers I did the following:
    I changed the padding from 0px to 25px

    .widget h3 {
    padding:25px 10px 0px 8px;
    line-height:2em
    }

    For the font-size of the dropdown menu I changed the font size here:
    /*Form*/
    input, select, textarea {
    font-size:1.1em;
    padding: 4px;
    border-width:1px;
    border-style:solid;
    }

    The only problem is that the font size of the text in the sidebar of the contactpage is still bigger than on the other pages.
    But that was before also. When e.g. font size in the sidebar of the homepage was 1.1em, the fontsize of the text in the sidebar of the contactpage looked like 1.3em.
    Don’t know why this is. I use the Contactform 7 plugin.
