• Setting up my first WordPress site, and could do with some help with setting up the Download Monitor plugin v3.2.3.

    I am running the Boldy theme from Site5

    I have uploaded a few downloads and added the gallery to a static page here.

    The styling does not look like the original authors demo site.
    I suspect that my themes styling is conflicting with the plugins?

    How can I fix this?
    I have tweaked CSS in the past (with guidance) but not sure what in Styles.css I would need to tweak?

  • In this style sheet: /wp-content/plugins/download-monitor/page-addon/styles.css

    Locate this:

    div#download-page-featured li {
    clear: left;
    float: left;
    list-style: none;
    width: 47%;
    padding-right: 3% !important;
    margin:0 0 4px !important;
    border-right:1px dotted #ddd;
    }
    div#download-page-featured li.alternate {
    clear: none;
    float: right;
    border: 0;
    padding: 0 !important;
    width: 47%;
    }

    Try changing both of those widths to 45% and see if that straightens out the columns.

    I think the cause of the misalignment is actually the image your theme is using for the “#content #colLeft ul li”

    Thanks James.
    45% still had issues, 40% seems to look good in Chrome/IE9 so thats fine.

    The last remaining style problem, is that on the downloads page, I have those blue bullet points for the entries in the left column.

    How can I exclude these from just the downloads page, but not affect posts on other pages?

    Thanks again for your prompt help.

    I too have to change the 47 to 45 every time Download Manager is updated to keep the columns organised, otherwise they get staggered from left to right

    @thekiwi

    Saw ur download page had bullet points next to the left hand column.

    Take a look at this post

    I wanted to remove the bullet points.

    @thekiwi how did you get the “Version, Date Posted, Downloaded, Categories” aligned to the left?

    Mine are centered??

    Also, does anyone know what to do in order to get the “READ MORE” button to appear?

    @gwave23 – this is coming from the theme’s style.css file

    caption, th, td {text-align:left;font-weight:normal;}
    If I disable that line then the items do align centre.

    @jakc – thanks!!!

    After some trial and error and headscratching I added this

    #download-page ul li,
    #download-page ol li{
        padding: 0 0 5px 15px;
        background: none;
    }

    to the end of my theme’s style.css file to remove the bullets and altered the left padding to 15 to get it so it looked like the right column

    I don’t want them to align centre. Look at this page: http://lisaandroger.com/downloads/?did=15

    I want the text that you have in the blue boxes (Version, Date Posted etc) to align left like yours.

    Mine are centred and look horrible. See this image: http://i890.photobucket.com/albums/ac108/GWAVE-23-xDoWx/dlmscreen.png

    Also, do you know how I could remove the “<<Design <<Downloads” so it only shows the title?

    Thanks

    @gwave23 – I understand what you want…

    In my case it’s coming from the theme’s style.css file, and so happens “by accident” on my downloads pages – it’s nothing I’ve done deliberately to stop it being centered. So you’d need to figure out exactly what to add to your site’s style.css file to achieve this.

    Try this

    #download-page th {
    	text-align:left;
    	padding-left:10px
    	}

    at the end of your theme’s style.css file as a start.

    Sorry don’t know off hand how to remove the breadcrumbs thing.

    Thanks a lot that worked perfectly. I had to drop the padding down to 2px and it looks perfect. Thanks for your help, much appreciated.
