IF I came across as a bit terse before it’s mostly because I’m not especially happy about having to add javascript to my page.

I’m no fan of either javascript or flash content because I feel it’s outdated and insecure. Then I get rid of the old Windows IIS web-server at work, install a brand new Debian Linux 8.5 server running Apache2 with WordPress, and then have to install jscript code on my pages…

I’m definitely not happy about this.

My bad, I was looking at the top of the screen editor where the text and font controls were and didn’t realize I had to scroll down the page below the edit box to find it.

Just to make sure I’m clear, I can use code embed for multiple Java widgets; create an input mask of %widgetx%, then enter codes for %widget1%, %widget2%, etc? What is the limit in terms of how many widgets I can install with the free version? I’m working on a library website and we have many widgets we can create and use for showing book and album covers.

“It is in the posts/page editor screen. If it’s not there, click on the Screen Options drop down and ensure the “custom fields” box is ticked.”

Custom fields box is ticked. There’s still no link for entering settings for the embed code.

They made a liar out of me. My full solution to the issue appeared the day after I posted it.

I tried to post the complete resolution to this issue but for some reason WordPress isn’t allowing me to. Go into your theme editor and use ctrl-f to look for the phrase “* match top ul list item height *”, in that section of code adjust the number of pixels in the top value to move your sub menus up or down.

Yes, I figured it out through experimentation.

Open your theme editor and use ctrl-f to find the text: “* match top ul list item height *”

You will end up at a portion of your theme CSS that looks like this:

/* Shows submenus */
ul.nav-menu li:hover ul,
ul.nav-menu li.nav-hover ul {
left: -1px;
top: 33px; /* match top ul list item height */
position:absolute;
z-index: 999999;
}

Adjust the number of pixels in your top value to move the location of the sub menus up and down.

Go to Appearance > Editor and click the mouse into your editor field.
