Cheers folks for the quick responses!

I’ve tinkered abit and it seems to be all in place now.

I reckon my code is riddled with errors, hopefully it doesn’t crash and burn down the road…

I don’t know much about firebug – is that a debugging program? (sorry im a total css/wordpress noob!)

Hmm, doesn’t seem to do the trick ??

It’s weird, it was fine a while ago but somewhere along the line I’ve upset it and just can’t seem to find the solution to fix it again.
I’ve a sidebar widget added, perhaps it’s something to do with that…

Thanks. Sorted.

Decided to delete the images from my library and reload them as 36×36 images. works like a charm now ??

Cheers for you help with the css for the post excerpts. Hopefully over time i’ll get better, i reckon my code is riddled with errors! ??

Decided to upload all the icons again as 36 x 36, sorted!

Cheers for the tips!

Hmmm, I’ve made those changes and it still displays all messed up on the home computer/safari browser.

That being said, that computer is old and the safari version is outdated so perhaps it is just an exception. I think newer browsers seem to be fine with it.

Thanks for the help!

Cool, what a simple solution…
Thanks buddy.

I’m still getting to grips with CSS so I’ll look into child themes but that should do for now.

What browser are you using to view my site? That sidebar issue is strange, with the icons going massive.
Don’t suppose you know what caused that? It looks fine in Firefox & IE.

wow, just spotted an even bigger problem with my sidebar now. It displays perfectly fine on the browsers im using but your image shows it’s gone waaay out of proportion. Anyhow, that’s for another post….

I’ve read that page (and a couple of others on child themes) and I can honestly say I’m still boggled.

I’m guessing I need to create a child theme within weaver.css, editing the #content file to manipulate the box models paddings, margins etc.

But that’s a guess, of which I have no real idea how to make reality.

I’d like to keep the background to remain the way it is, with the container staying all white, the excerpt boxes could be a slight shade of grey or green….as opposed to your example with the background showing through.

Sweet…that works.

Cheers mate.

Well, currently they are set to 150 x 150.

But I’ve toyed about with the sizes there, and in the scale image options when I’m setting the featured image for each post.

Even when I select the image to go in at full size or at set dimensions of 720 x 540 etc, they still display as you see them now.

Is this a CSS problem or do I need a plug-in to make this effect possible?

Sorry, my site is https://www.ramblingirish.com

Even if I could get the featured image for each post to be the width of the content, with the post excerpt below it and post title above it, that would be a start.

But so far, with post excerpts, they only seem to show as thumbnails, regardless of what changes I make in the post edit settings.

Dude, you know what you are?

A leg-end ??

Works perfect. I was getting very frustrated with something that I knew had a simple fix.

Cheers buddy, appreciate it!

Anybody out there? ??

I’m really crap at CSS, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Is this the right part of the code to be changing or do I need to change code in the sidebar.php file?

I think I need to do something with absolute positioning and margins but I don’t know what….

Can anybody tell me??

Ahh…I just realised this shortly after I started this thread.

Typical. Sorted now, thanks for the response.
