okie dokie — got it! And for the record if I ever need a life-line on the Millionaire show I am calling you!

by the way — no need to worry about inserting an image into text widget questions. Nailed it on my own! (yes, I realize that its so simple a Caveman could do it! but I didnt know that the other day!ha!)

BUT, I will ask, is there a reason that every image I place in a Post or Page has a small box pop up showing the image name as the mouse rolls over the pic?? It doesn’t do that for an image placed in a text widget and for my money it seems a bit tacky to have that pop up when anyone mouses over a picture! Any way to omit that little image name box?? (or tell me whats its called and I can find a forum post on it)

MANY MANY Thanks!!

Just as I thought — and its not an issue since you set me straight on editing the font color in the future.

I will toss out a quickie here for you to answer or direct me to the correct forum post.

Under my Pages(noted as WHO WHAT WHY), Categories, Links (noted as The Roll Call) when you click on a sub page in any of those there is a two inch dotted line under and above the page name or link or category name — Question: Is that just part of the theme design or is it something that can be edited/removed?? (I am getting pretty good at searching now but didnt see any “border” type comments in the css)

I certainly dont mean to start a whole new thought here away from font editing but if you feel like tossing another one of your knowledgeable answers I am all ears!

OK, I am off to scour the forums regarding placing images in a text box (i will be looking for ESMI answers in that category first! ha)

great to now that! thanks!

I take it that when I add any new text widgets they will follow the same font actions listed above?? Will I be able to make font changes to each text widget that I add or will they all be the same?? Not really a big issue, just curious.

THANKS for everything!

—- by the way, my upcoming question stream will be about placing an image on the page, be prepared! ha!

Oh my goodness…

That worked so well I can barely stand it! What happens when I add one or two more text widgets? Will that hold consistent or will I need to add/change/edit something for each new text widget I add??

by the way, TERRIFIC info from you thru this whole thread! Spot on perfect!

Hope you get MODERATOR OF THE MONTH! ha!

here is how I added that line:
#menu {color:#CCCCCC; }
#menu a {color:#CCCCCC; }
#menu a:hover {color:#CCCCCC; }
#menu .textwidget {color:#660000;} <—— inserted your code

wasn’t sure if you meant add at the very bottom of the entire white.css file section or at the bottom of the #menu codes. It worked perfect this way (let me know if that should be at the very bottom of the entire white.css page instead!?!)

thanks —-

the text widget I spoke of is listed as “EVENTS” on — htttp://23nine.com/blog

And I appreciate the info from above! I will easily find that!

OK, maybe one last little thing …..

…which lies under the text of the post itself. I am happy to toss another gift certificate if you can tell me what that is considered in the white.css in order to change the font color there as well. MANY , tooooo many thanks!

BE WELL

Helloooooo ESMI!

yeah, that would be my giddy voice! SO, right off, dont shoot me here but I think I should have started with the fact I am being hosted thru Yahoo and hey, guess what, they have a File Manager all included in my ecommerce hosting plan. Who knew!

Yep, should have read the directions before opening this big box of ftp all over the floor! ha!

Was able to easily find and edit thru there (had it thru file zilla too, but was much easier with the yahoo file manager)– good gosh, I want to edit just for the sake of editing now!

ONE last question for this particular thread. I have added a “text” widget on my page and plan to add a couple more. Can you tell me, please, where I would change the font color for the text itself. I take it that its in the body of the white.css as well — just wasnt sure which item it was noted as in order to edit?!?!

THANKS SOOOO MUCH for your time and effort —- I am sure I will toss a forum question again soon. ALL my best to you and just let me know where I should send your gift certificate for lunch!!

—- https://23nine.com/blog —– take a look and, agian, thanks for your help!

I did try that again as you suggested. I don’t think it was a typo on your part as it made my page disappear again! ha!

I will go thru the ftp and figure it out from there. When I used firebug (or even the source code from my View tab in the browser)to pull up the area of code I wanted to change I was able to correctly make the edit and, as you said, SEE how it would look if it were in fact edited and upoaded. My problem was when I pulled it up thru filezilla (and the text editor) I got the same stylesheet info I had thru WP Editor. So, once again I am obviously doing something incorrectly there that I will read thru and try to figure out over a margarita!

Still, how is it I cant just toss in a {font-color:#660000;} type command in the header or content area and have it read it?? heck, it reads font-size, font-weight, font-family, just fine in there, sheeeesh! ha!

thanks for your help and time!!!!

I just tried adding the code you had placed above —- while it did not work it did make the page disappear! Always good for the heart! ha!

I will try and edit thru the ftp if I can figure it out — in the meantime, come up with a quick, easy, non blog disappearing, remedy that allows me to just change the font hover color or post titles font color from within the stylesheet in WP editor! you can name the place for lunch when you do — happy to treat!

Very helpful. And as always thanks for your response — I will certainly give it a go!

I have filezilla and will try to extract the proper source code for the white.css and edit from there if I can without blowing up the whole page! I was just hoping there was a command or line of code I could place in the stylesheet that would allow an addition/changing of a “hover color” or content/post title color. Since it lists font-size, font-family, and so on, in the stylesheet I was wondering if it was possible to just place a “font-color” (with a corresponding hex color #) and edit in that manner?!!?

I owe you lunch for the help!

AND….

while I am at it, why do I get more info from just pulling up the source code from my VIEW tab than I do in the stylesheet itself??? I know there is a reason, just would like to know it! ha! It just seems the source code has all the text and info that I dont see in the style.css area in the editor — clue me in if you would!

extra comment —-

Under my header.php I have —
<link rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_url’); ?>” />
<link rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’); ?>/styles/white.css” title=”white” />

— the last line denoting the “styles/white.css” you referred to. But that is the only place I see that. Can I make edits there that will have the effects I want for say changing color of title posts?? (i’m thinking that answer is no!)

Just curious as to my next move? Did you say “hire someone??” ha!

thanks —-

what I have listed is :
h2.contentheader{ cursor: pointer; position:relative; float:left; margin:0px 0px 0px 0px; padding:0px; font-family:arial; font-weight:bold; font-size:20px; text-transform:uppercase; clear:left;}
h2.contentheader:hover{ }
h2.contentheader:active{ }

— can I just enter a command in there that changes color or changes uppercase to both upper & lower case or whatever… I have tried adding color:#660000; in there with the other commands and saving changes but nothing ever happens. Just as I have with changing the hover color or sidebar color or header or what have you. OBVIOUSLY I am doing something incorrectly but cant find a forum comment to get me thru it.

Am I in the right neighborhood in stylesheet???

OK, got it!

If you have one minute would you telling me where in stylesheet I can change and/or add a command that will alter, say color, for the post titles. If I can just see how it is to look and the appropriate place to add it I will figure out the rest!

That would be terrific —- in the meantime I will also scour the forums to see if I can find it myself.

THANKS!!!!

Extra comment — I just uploaded the “flexi pages” widget. And unfortunately it does not seem to like my particular theme. I have tried it several times and while it says it “saves” what I have added it does not apply it to the blog. OH WELL!

Would you mind just tossing a line of code I can employ that will allow me to create a “page”-like dropdown that will open on the site the same way the page widget does!?! I have read thru a years worth of posts that MANY people are looking for the exact same thing — would be thrilled if you have an answer!!

on my blog — https://23nine.com/blog — you can see I have an “EVENT” listing, that I created, and would certainly like to know if I can make that a “page” type dropdown that opens like the page widget that came with the Minimal Theme.

Will look forward to a answer — THANKS for your help — APPRECIATED!
