How do I edit the RSS widget on my style ?

I have this blog
http://www.vbulletinsetup.com/
and as you see, the bottom right widget is showing the RSS feed title all funky.

I'm not a wordpress geek at all, I know my way around the admin system, but no idea where to edit the stock RSS widget

Any help is appreciated

thanks

hmmm..
See my site http://blog.aditech.info...
If you want the RSS widget like that then it's easy to do..
I have used feedburner code in the widget....

 

1. I don't see any rss feed on that page??
2. The default RSS widget works fine on my other styles, I want to fix it on this style

thanks

 

What widget are you using?

 

just the stock rss feed one..
I just don't know even where to look to edit that widget

any guidance is appreciated

 

this is my rss widget

I have disabled feeds view..you can view the feeds by clicking on the rss pic ..

 

seems all the links in your sidebar are set as block elements. The rss image and title are both linked so the title link is going under the image and pushes down the closing background image.

To your wp-content/themes/vb/style.css file try adding:

#sidebar li h3 span a {
	display: inline;
}

Code (markup):

just paste it at the bottom of the css file and that should fix it up.

 

oooo, it's closer

 

Replace my other code with:

#sidebar li h3 span a {
	display: inline;
	background: none;
	padding: 0px 10px 0px 0px;
	margin: none;
	color: #FFF;
	text-decoration: none; /* set to underline if you want */
}

Code (markup):

It should fit in with the rest then I set text-decoration to none so it looks like the rest of the headers but you might want to set it to underline so people know to click it to get to your forums.

 

great work mate, I'd send you some rep, but I already did last night
I'll be back to this thread though for you


btw,, I see this line in the css as well..


Your's is working fine, but didn't know if there would be a conflict.

#sidebar li h3 span {
	margin-left: 15px;
	padding: 5px 15px 1px 0;
	display: block;
	background: url(images/bgsidenavtitleblue.gif) right bottom no-repeat;
}

Code (markup):

thanks again MoT

btw, another one for ya if you're up for it

Now I've enabled the recent commentors widget, and you can see the dots are messed up.
anymore magic css code for that one?

 

nah it wont conflict with that code, my CSS is just manipulating the links inside that header

heres the css for the recent comments, it should work

#recentcomments li {
    display: block;
    padding: 5px 0 5px 12px;
    background: url(images/bulletblue.gif) left center no-repeat;
}

#recentcomments li a {
    background: none;
}

Code (markup):

 

Thank you again MoT
I added this code and it killed the dots, but the alignment is still messed up,, any ideas on that ?

btw, do you offer wordpress services ? I may be contacting you for some work if so.

thanks again

 

Hey Brandon,

Why not just use the same CSS as used in the Forum Post on the right column, rsswidget? The functions for the widgets I believe are located in wp-includes/widgets.php . There you find the sourcecode to all existing widget functions.

 

Here we go

#recentcomments .recentcomments {
    display: block;
    padding: 0px 0px 0px 15px;
    margin: 0px;
    margin-bottom: 5px;
    background: url(images/bulletblue.gif) left center no-repeat;
}

#recentcomments li a {
    background: none;
}

Code (markup):

Sent you a PM about Wordpress services

 

Hi Mark, I looked in that file but I couldn't make sense of the code as far as finding the part for the rss feed earlier.
I think we are the right track with the css tips MoT is posting
Thanks anyways

You are my hero this week man or woman, I really apperciate the code.
I have one more for you if you are up for it, the "vBSetup BOTM" where it has the bullet next to FunEnclave, that is just a text box with an <a href=""> link and text in it.. can we tweak the css and kill this bullet too

thanks again for everything, I've replied to your pm and will be contacting you as soon as I'm ready to add a few more styles to the free wp styles page.

 

anyone have the code on the last request ?

thanks
