Removing the wrapping div in custom templates

    Hey,

    Great plugin, but I’ve got an issue with the plugin. I want to use YARPP to add related posts to a list with some other elements in the same list (sticky posts and ad blocks).

    I’m using isotope and using custom templates I can almost do what I need, but it wraps everything in a div called ‘.yarpp-related’.

    Short of hacking the plugin code manually, is there a way to prevent the creation of this wrapping div?

    Thanks!

    No. It’s good practice to identify plugin containers so that they can be styled more easily.

    Are you opposed to the wrapper because you are trying to style the output?

    It limits some of the possibilities of placement, and there are loads of inbuilt CSS declarations making text bold and adding margins, that are set as !important, making it a pain to override them every time.

    When using custom templates, I’d like to have full control over what I’m creating.

    Unfortunately, the !important declaration was an oversight and will be fixed in the next release. Sorry for the inconvenience!

    Thanks.

    I agree with letterafterz. I want to be able to style my code without the need to add a layer of div which I really do not need. I mean, I think it would be very useful to let a developer decide if the plugin should load the containing <div class="yarpp-related-widget"> or not.

    Same issue here. I’m using a custom template as a “pseudo widget” in the sidebar, problem is YARPP now adds div tags between the li.
