 * Is there any way to put this in a widget? I’m using Parallax Pro on Genesis and
   most of the front page content is in the section widgets. My decision tree looks
   like this in the page on the live site:
    [decisiontree id=”43″]
 * I assume this is because it’s in a widget and not a post. Anyone know a good 
   way to put this in the widget content?

 * jameswcaudill – thanks for the question! Unfortunately Decision Tree does not
   currently natively support being rendered in a widget. I haven’t tried it, but
   you may be able to run a plugin which shows posts as widgets, like [this one](https://wordpress.org/plugins/ultimate-posts-widget/),
   to achieve your goal.
 * Otherwise, we’ll look to add this as a feature in the future!

 * Thanks! I will try that and will try to report back on how it works.

 * It doesn’t appear to activate for multisite when I Network Activate that Ultimate
   Posts plug-in. I’m also a little skeptical of anything with 20 unanswered support
   posts. The last update was back in August 2014, almost a year ago.
 * Thanks for trying. I’m trying to find something with drop-downs as well if anyone
   has any ideas. 🙂 The sheer number of buttons to choose from when I have 20 items
   in the first choice just doesn’t look right. That said, I have gotten more than
   my $5 worth from Decision Tree!

 * jameswcaudill – thanks for the update about Ultimate Posts. Sorry it didn’t work
   out for you. We’ll still look to add widget support in a future release.
 * Per you DT with 20 choices on the screen – do you have any input on how we could
   improve the layout for you? Would it help if we could reduce the size or put 
   the choices in a grid?
 * Otherwise, may be you could break down the steps the so user only sees 2-5 choices
   at a time instead of 20?
 * Best of luck!

 * Hm, I guess in this case, the ideal solution might be a drop down box option 
   available. In the meantime, I’m looking for where to change the button width 
   in the CSS so all the choices are the same width.
 * Is it in .dt_button?

 * I found it. It wasn’t updating for some reason when I changed the CSS in sidecar-
   decision-tree/decisiontree_local_style.css (inactive), but it started working.

 * jameswcaudill – ah, thanks for the suggestion about the drop down.
 * As well, glad to hear you found the css to update!

 * I don’t know how common it is, but a link or list of links send like it would
   be a common conclusion to a decision tree on the web.
 * Have you considered a third type of item, a link list? Right now, I have to take
   an extra step to send users to a link answer.

 * Yes! We’re going to add this feature as well. In the meanwhile, you can cram 
   html with links like this:
 *  [Google it!](http://google.com)
 * In either your answer’s text (button) or subtext (text above the button).

 * sktrader – we’ve just posted 1.1 which has a feature for linked answers:
    - Added feature so answers can now have links and info boxes with HTML.
    - Fixed a bug when inserting DT in post or page, the DT modal rendering beneath
      WYSIWYG bar. We now render as expected.
    - Fixed a bug which showed “Add Choice” buttons for answers. They’re now hidden.
    - Fixed a bug where answers with no links don’t have hover effects like links
      do. Linkless answers no long have hover effects.
 * Thanks again for all your input!
