    Hello,

    Sorry for the double post, my questions are very different in nature so I didn’t want to cram them into one post.

    I have a few widgets on the left bar of the theme and I’d like to move them closer together. I have the following:

    Countdown
    Text box
    Facebook easy box
    Instagramm
    RSS feed

    As you’ll see there’s a lot of space left in between them and this means they aren’t shown unless one scrolls down.

    Thanks for any hints,
    Ben

    Hey Ben,

    For your widgets try these, you can play a little with the padding to see what suits you best.
    Put this CSS into your Custom CSS or Child Theme style.css so that way you won’t lose all the changes made when the theme updates.

    .widget {
  padding: 0 42px 29px;
}

    Let me know if it works 🙂

    Cheers!

    Hey Rick,

    Thanks for that! It’s a start for sure, I’ve applied it and removed the border and it now looks like this:

    I think it is getting better but still there’s a large gap below Facebook and above Instagram…
    Thanks,
    Ben

    I wish there was an edit function…
    Just realised that the FB widget had its own height adjustment which I tweaked and now it all looks good. Except that the Countdown is still rather tall. The widget does not by default have an adjustment. What could I do to adjust it?

    Thanks a lot for the above by the way, it already looks 10 times better 🙂

    p.s. And just now I noticed there’s an edit function. Sorry folks…

    Hey Ben, I’m glad you like it now.
    So did you solve with the edit function?

    Hey Rick,

    Yes, I did what you said, copied the code into the Custom CSS section of the Origin Theme Options and it all works now 🙂

    Not sure if you saw my other posts here about the constant reloading of the site. As I scroll down on my home page, it’ll keep reloading the images (Loading new posts) but it never gets done, it just loops in the old posts from the beginning etc.

    When I tested the demo at http://www.elegantthemes.com/demo/?theme=Origin it was working just fine. It kept loading until I reach the bottom and then said (no more posts to load).

    What might I be doing wrong?
    Thanks a lot,
    Ben

    Hi Ben,
    Sorry for the late response, anyway it should be an AJAX problem, unfortunately without checking your backend it’s hard to say.
    Since it’s a premium theme, have you tried with the theme support?

    Hi Rick,

    Thanks for getting back, no I haven’t tried contacting their support as I don’t have the key to the template. It was installed by someone who built my site and they arranged for everything. I’ll perhaps need to go back to them and ask support, was hoping I didn’t need to.

    Cheers,
    Ben
