3 Issues – Sidebar, Blockquote & Bullets

    Hi Alex,

    Thanks for the wonderful theme. I owe you one.

    I just installed the theme on a WP multi-network site. It’s working fine but I’m finding it tough to do the following:

    1. Change the (right) sidebar width
    I was able to locate the code in CSS (line 288) and I reduced the ‘margin-right’. But after doing that the grey background disappeared and things weren’t looking good. You can imagine. Please guide me on how to reduce its length so that I have more space for the post. And once I reduce its length, will the post content width adjust itself automatically or will I have to manually edit that code too?

    2. I wish to have quotes numbered from 25 to 1 and not 1 to 25. I tried doing that using the bullet numbering. Didn’t happen. What’s the solution? (I don’t want the normal paragraph alignment but the alignment of bullet numberings, that’s why.) And for the bullet numbering, how can I take the name of the person on the next line; adjusting the line-height doesn’t do the trick.

    see screenshots (kindly remove the space)
    puu . sh/76sZ5 . png (normal bullets)
    puu . sh/76sXp . png (25 to 1 – paragraph -doesn’t look good)
    puu . sh/76sZV . png (only name on next line?)

    3. If I use the quote format option you’ve given in the posts, then it displays the greyish Arial blockquote. Can I just have the italic formatting it has and make the blockquote invisible?

    puu . sh/76toW . png

    Sorry for such long questions!

    Awaiting response. It’s kinda urgent. Launching my site day after.

    Thanks,
    Brijesh

    PS – I’ve gone through your documentation and I’m using a child theme as you’ve suggested. I’m new to WP though. Just 15 days old. ??

    hey alex, are you busy? i kind of need this to be solved asap. a quick reply would be appreciated. thanks!

    Hi,

    1) You also need to adjust the padding on main-inner, ex:

    .col-3cm .main-inner { padding-right: 260px; }
.col-3cm .s2 { margin-right: -260px;}

    As well as the sidebar background image width, s-right-s2.png I believe.

    2) Reverse list numbering? Hm – how about just putting the number in the quote itself? Otherwise you’d perhaps be best off creating a shortcode with custom css styling tied to it or something. Not sure really.

    3) Modify this css as you wish:

    .post-format .format-container { background: #f1f1f1; padding-bottom: 10px; border-left: 3px solid #3b8dbd; }
.post-format .format-container .fa,
.post-format .format-container .fa { color: #ccc; font-size: 36px; float: right; margin: 0 0 20px 20px; }
.format-quote .post-format {  }
.format-quote .post-format blockquote { font-size: 22px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 1.4em; font-style: italic; }
.format-quote .post-format .quote-author { font-style: italic; }

    Hi Alex,

    Thanks for the prompt response.

    1 I don’t follow you on the first one. Sorry I am somewhat new to coding. I do handle most code. But please add a bit more here…

    2. Okay, I think I will be able to manage that.

    3. This is great, helped…

    hey alex,

    it seems my question got lost in the multitude of queries you get everyday!

    could you please elaborate on the exact way to reduce sidebar width, and where will i find the sidebar background image width code? couldn’t locate it!

    thanks!

    If you use the 3 column layout, with content in the middle, then it should be the code above which I specified:

    .col-3cm .main-inner { padding-right: 260px; }
.col-3cm .s2 { margin-right: -260px;}

    Add that as custom css and modify the px values.

    As well as the sidebar background image width, s-right-s2.png I believe.
