Editing Sidebar Links

  • First off, I’d like to apologize if this topic has already been covered — I did indeed search, but I either used blatantly pointless keywords, or this is unique enough that it didn’t get any hits.

    Anyhow, on with my difficulty. I recently installed WP over the old b2 blog I used to have, and rather than update, I did a clean install. I’ve futzed with the wp-layout.css file to my liking (it’s simple, but it works for me); but I’ve run into a problem — I want to display a series of images that are 50×50 pixels with three in a line. With the current setup of the links list, which I’m using to display the images rather than just inserting them into the appropriate spot in index.php, I can’t seem to make this happen. There’s a break between each image, even after editing the category that they belong to.

    I’ve looked through the files I assumed were relevant, but being that I’m still pretty new to CSS, I’m not really sure if I’m looking in the wrong places, or if I need to create a separate file to handle this.

    Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance for reading through this, even if you can’t help me. The blog, if you would like to see it for reference or the such, is at https://koe.arisatsute.com. Currently the links (under the ‘Fanlisting’ header) are text-only until I can edit them into a better format for my uses.

  • By editing the category for links, did you mean changed it so that each link isn’t wrapped in a list item tag? That would be a big thing to check on.

    In the admin panel for links, I edited the Fanlistings category. I left the boxes blank, that way they wouldn’t be listed. However, they’re still showing up one per line.

    If I’ve missed what you’re saying, then it’s likely entirely my fault — I only installed WP a few days ago, so I’m still getting used to all the stuff that is new to me. ^^;

    It’s possible that the defaults for those boxes are <li>, <br />, and </li>, so I would try just putting some tags that will have no effect on anything in those boxes instead.

    For example: Before – <span> … After – </span>

    Then again, that’s just something that would make sense. If it doesn’t work, hopefully someone that knows more than me can help.

    I gave it a shot by putting in the span tags, but it was a no go.

    Mostly it’s a pain because I have nine of these 50×50 pixel boxes that I want three per line; but I can’t figure a way of doing it without editing something that I’m not familiar with.

    Thanks for trying to help me out, Moridin. I really appreciate that, even if it was just a stab in the dark. ^_^

    Try adding this to your css file:

    #fanlistings li {
    display: inline;
    }

    Thanks so much, Kafkaesqui! ^__^ That’s exactly what I was looking for it to do; I just wasn’t sure how to go about it myself.
