Hi! Sorry for the late reply, I changed my username as I changed my freelance name so didn’t see the post! lol!

I gave up on using pre-made plugins (such as nivoslider) as I didn’t want to have to strip them down everytime I wanted a feature they didn’t have. I’m redesigning the site I needed it for at the minute, and have instead written a function using bxslider to add two captions (or more, if necessary) using the title of the post as one, and the excerpt as the other. An example of which can be seen here – https://djryanmcnally.pixelworx.it/

I found that bxslider is every bit as good as nivoslider, but also, it’s responsive, which suits my needs better! If you have a look at bxslider, and decide to use it, i’d be happy to share the function i’ve written and guide you through it!

To be honest, i’ve never worked with Creativix before, and in truth i’m no expert with WP, i’m still learning by doing, so-to-speak, buuuuuuut, try this…

First, back-up your page.php then use the editor to change your page.php on the server to this code instead.

The get_sidebar(‘left’) call seems to be inside the #post div which it shouldn’t be, it should be outside the main post div above get_footer().

In your style.css, find .sidebar and where it says ‘float: left’ change it to ‘float: right’ . This “should” bring the sidebar outside the post div, to the right of it, before putting the footer at the bottom where it belongs.

If it doesn’t work, just replace your page.php with your back-up one and all should be back to the way it is now.

Let me know and i’ll look it into it, cos no-one else seems to be helping ??

Can you post your index.php code? (Use pastebin…)

Hi Fusion, I know this post is many months old, but I was searching for advice on this subject myself to no avail, when I decided to just try and figure out everything myself. I have a website i’m working on just now styles the way I want it so I thought i’d share my styles with you to see if it helped….

My project is @ https://djryanmcnally.alchemyni.co.uk/

Have a look at the twitter widget and see if it’s in anyway how you would like yours.

The styles are: https://pastebin.com/FC9VbN2Z

This may be of NO help to you whatsoever, but it may help other lost souls who are looking for a bit of help using this widget ??

It would appear you are correct sir, however, shouldn’t my CSS have kept it all inline, regardless of how the image was cropped?

.attachment_post_thumbnail is set to 240px wide by 200px tall. What gives!?

Nevertheless, it’s sorted now, I just have to remember to crop my featured images to exact dimensions from now on :/

Dunno if this helps, but in sidebar_right there’s an opening parentheses on line 4. What’s it for?

<div id="sidebar_right">
  <?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar')
        || !dynamic_sidebar() ) : ?>
  (
  <?php _e('Search'); ?>

Just below || !dynamic_sidebar() ): ?>, it doesn’t seem to be doing anything, but it may be confuzzling your code?

Also, can you post your functions.php file, so we can see what get_sidebar() left+right are actually doing?

They look white to me….

[NB: I have only been teaching myself WordPress with very limited PHP knowledge for 3 days, so don’t take my answer as gospel. I am getting there tho, I think! lol!]

————————————————-

Can you post the contents of your index.php? You’re looking to put get_sidebar() beside the slider, and the ‘loop’ (your posts) directly under it, yes?

I would probably use tables for that, but I know most people aren’t fond of it, so you may get a better answer off a DIVer (tables aren’t evil tho….)

Show me your index.php contents (use pastebin!) and i’ll see if I can do it in DIVs for you anyways ??

No, perhaps I worded that wrongly! lol! I mean ‘style.css’ is the default name for the WordPress stylesheet. Some themes modify everything so much, including the name of the stylesheet, so it may not be ‘style.css’ it may be something else. If you’re doing it off a default theme (fresh install of WordPress) it’ll be style.css you need to add to the end of the link rel as I showed you above.

I reckon if you change your link rel as above it should work out for you.

??

I thought they might be for the responsive side of things ?? It’ll more than likely be style.css unless you’re using a theme that’s pretty much changed everything as a base!

Hope it works out for you! ??

I’m not too sure, as i’m only learning myself, but, have you included the WordPress stylesheet correctly?

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>" type="text/css" media="screen" />

You seem to have included the URL to the WP stylesheet, but you haven’t defined it.

It should read;

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>/STYLE.CSS" type="text/css" media="screen" />

Where “STYLE.CSS” is the name of your wordpress CSS file (usually style.css)
