Removing the indent: Recent Posts

please use a web tool such as firebug to investigate these kind of formatting problems – https://getfirebug.com/

or at least post a link to your site.

The site is: https://doranandmurphy.com/

The problem is the way the posts display under Attorney Blog on the sidebar.

Thank you.

Does anybody have any ideas?

Have you tried using Firebug yet?

No, I think the theme is okay, it’s just that the people who have the site don’t like the way the Recent Posts display, with a large indent. I think the theme is probably built to do that, and I just need someone to point me in the direction of where I would find the code to change it, and how.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Then I suggest you use Firebug and start tweaking the CSS on the recent posts.

But where do I find the code? I don’t even know where to look. Is it in the stylesheet, functions.php, or right_sidebar.php. I really don’t have a clue where it would be. Do you have any ideas?

That’s what Firebug is for.

Ok, thanks, I’ll see what I can find with it.

Ok, well it highlights the entire sidebar widget area under Attorney Blog when I mouseover the “ul” below, in Firebug:

<div id="wdg_specialrecentposts-3" class="widget Special Recent Posts">
<h2>Attorney Blog</h2>
<ul>
</div>

I’ve seen the ul many times when I was poking through the code. How do I put 2 and 2 together and find where this happens in the stylesheet or the .php files in the theme, and change it so it does not indent so much?

Is it something to do with changing the settings of an unordered list?

This is a CSS issue – so you need to make changes to the theme’s stylesheet.

Ok, thank you very much.

The problem is that I experimented with the stylesheet many times and was not able to do what I needed. I am not experienced with CSS.

Are there any clues you know of, as to where I might find how to remove the indent? I looked at many margin and padding settings but to no luck.

As I said earlier, that’s what Firebug is for. If you cannot manage this yourself, you may want to consider hiring someone.

Ok, I’ll keep looking. Thank you.

If anyone else has experience with the Ice theme I would much appreciate it.

Target the indentation in your CSS with…

.widget ul { margin-left: -35px; }

This will get it close, tested only in Chrome…your results in other browsers may vary.
