Hi again Lisa, thats great thanks – I added the snippet to Customize > Additional CSS instead of theme file editor > child theme stylesheet and it sorted the issue. I had tried adding !important too but no luck. Is there a reason CSS here wont get applied?

Thanks for the reply Lisa, just tried that snippet – no luck unfortunately

Thanks for the reply and info/links t-p, much appreciated ??

Hi George,

Many thanks for your quick reply and help – much appreciated! ??

That seems to have done the trick. I had tried adding it to the top of the ‘additional CSS’ box but it had no effect (I couldnt see any similar lines targeting the .subtitle in the rest of the ‘additional CSS’ code). Was there another reason to apply it to the end?

Can anyone else advise on this? I could create a new paginated page using a default loop but am unsure of how to set alternate backgrounds for each post.

Thanks for the reply Alchymyth. I’m afraid my knowledge of WordPress php is very thin on the ground. Where/how would I add the nopaging parameter to the above?

Thanks for the reply vtxyzzy, ended up replacing with Recent-Posts-Widget-Extended plugin shortcode.

Anyone? I could use a default loop but I’m unsure of how I would set alternate background colors for each second post.

Thanks for the replies guys.

Sorry, I made a mistake on the above post. I should have added the below code – I still cant understand thou why it wont target the top menu items. Re: the About page, you’re quite right its bad practice – I’ll make sure to change it to ‘Home’.

#sidebar li .current-menu-item a:link {
color: #000000;
cursor: default;
font-family: ‘LatinModernMonoLight10Bold’,arial,serif;
font-size: 14px;
letter-spacing: 1px;
text-decoration: none;
/* IE 8 */
color: #000000\9;

/* Netscape */
-moz-opacity: 1;

/* Safari 1.x */
-khtml-opacity: 1;

opacity: 1;
}

Thanks for the reply Paulwpxp, I did have the below in my style sheet but it is only effecting the child targets not the top level menu items, it seems to be working backwards! could a plugin be causing this?

#sidebar li a:hover {
font-family: ‘LatinModernMonoLight10Bold’,arial,serif;
font-size: 14px;
letter-spacing: 1px;
text-decoration: none;
/* IE 8 */
color: #999999\9;

/* Netscape */
-moz-opacity: 0.5;

/* Safari 1.x */
-khtml-opacity: 0.5;

opacity: 0.5;
}

I did’nt built the site unfor, I’m just updating it for a friend. I ran thru the plugins under the settings tab but didnt find anything to match, is there a way of checking this via Firebug?

Its pretty confusing: even if I set the font size way down, so there’s no way the li items could be longer than the container width it still line breaks in Chrome and Safari.

Thanks for the reply WPyogi, I moved the \9 hack down below the default padding. The drop line also appears in IE 7 unfor, is there a way to CSS hack /target padding in just Chrome and Safari browser engines?

Fraid not ?? no such luck yet

Thanks for the help keesiemeijerz, I checked down thur the file and removed some </div> that the validator was showing up, unfor Iam not too sure of the other errors which would be causing the third post offset. I dont understand how this could happen either as I thought all the posts are contained within the ‘default’ loop settings?
