Agentpress Featured Posts Alignment

[hickmancParticipant]

Is it possible, with the Featured Posts widget, to get there to be a 2×2 box of posts rather than them all being displayed in a single column? Or is there a way to accomplish something similar with a similar widget?

Just to clarify, here is what I’m talking about, except for maybe with a little excerpt/blurb to go with it

I’m trying to get the Featured Posts in the Featured Bottom Left widget area to go into two columns– I would like a 2×2 square of featured posts. If I can accomplish this more easily with a different widget, that’s fine too. Thanks!

Give this a shot (by adding it to your style.css)

.featured-bottom .featuredpost .post {
float: left;
padding: 0 10px 10px;
width: 46%;

You’ll probably want to tweak the padding and width to get it looking just right.

Wow! That worked! Thanks!

Do you know how to get rid of the gray lines between the two rows? I thought that maybe they were horizontal rules so I set those to 0px in the CSS, but that didn’t do anything.

Thanks!

.featured-bottom .featuredpost .post {
border-bottom: none;
}

You’re welcome!

That worked! Hey, you’re good at this.

Just out of curiosity, if I had a second Featured Posts widget, but I wanted them to appear vertically (sort of like the original), how would I go about changing that without ruining my first 2×2 widget?

Thanks!

WordPress assigns each widget an unique ID, and you can use that to drill down in your CSS to a particular widget. For example, the current Featured Post widget has an ID of

#featured-post-5

so we could have added that to the previous CSS code like this

.featured-bottom #featured-post-5.featuredpost .post {
border-bottom: none;
}

Then you could switch out “5″ with the ID of the new widget in some additional CSS and change the CSS accordingly.

Thank you! But how do I figure out the ID of the widget?

Use Firefox as your browser, and install Firebug. Chrome has a lite version of Firebug, but it’s not quite up to snuff with Firefox in this regard, in my opinion.

Then search Google for “firebug tutorial,” or check this one out: http://www.w3resource.com/web-development-tools/firebug-tutorials.php
