Perfect, thank you!

Hi Bill,

I’ve played around with the Advanced Excerpt plugin but unfortunately haven’t been able to get the excerpts to include links. http://newsite2016.thinknewmexico.org/WordPress/

The only place where the excerpts appear is in the widget “featuredposts-2” on the homepage so I’m wondering if there is any custom code I can add to that widget specifically so that it will either display the full post (they’ll all be ~1 paragraph) rather than an excerpt, or to tell it to keep html mark-up in the excerpts?

thanks!
Kristina

Thank you so much! And please don’t apologize for the very brief delay — I really appreciate all the support you’ve provided.

I tweaked the numbers a bit and that code worked perfectly like this:

@media only screen and (max-width: 767px) {

#footer {
overflow: hidden;
}

#footer-sidebar {
width: calc(100% + 111px) !important;
margin: 0 !important;
top: -20px;
left: -80px;
}

}

Have a good weekend! And please let me know if there’s any place I can leave you a rave review, as you have been terrific to work with on this.

Thanks, Bill! That worked perfectly. 🙂

One question about the blog post excerpts that show up on the Featured Posts widget — is there a way to make links work from those excerpts? They work fine on the blog posts themselves, but do not show up as links in the excerpts.

thank you,
Kristina

Thanks for the quick reply!

I’m looking at the site on an iphone 5c (running Safari, but also the Google app on the phone). However, I get the same result when I look at the phone-sized preview in the “customize” area of WordPress, or if I compress my computer browser window so that it is only 2-3 inches wide (a Lenovo laptop running Windows 10, using Chrome). When all 4 widgets are stacked on top of one another, they are off-set to the right (the left-hand margin of the footer next to the widgets looks about twice as wide as the right-hand margin). It’s not terrible, but I’d like to correct it if I can.

Thank you so much, Bill! I really appreciate your time and help with customizing the theme, and I’ll ask any future questions in their own topic threads. 🙂

Just one follow-up on your answer above: how can I find the unique ID of a text widget? It would be great to be able to apply custom styles to a specific text widget.

thanks,
Kristina

Sorry, one more!

I want to change the look of the titles that appear on each page (e.g., on the About page it automatically displays “About Us” as black text with a 1px black line beneath: http://newsite2016.thinknewmexico.org/WordPress/about-us/). I want to make them look like the standard widget headers, blue boxes with white text.

I found .page-title in the stylesheet and am wondering if I cam alter it there? Something like:

.page-title {
color: #ffffff;
background-color: #0099cc;
overflow: hidden;
padding-bottom: 5px;
border-bottom: 1px solid #212221;
}

thank you!

Hi Bill,

Your solutions are terrific, thanks so much! I also hadn’t discovered the custom css area yet, that is super helpful. 🙂

The only thing that isn’t completely working is that the third and fourth widgets on the homepage run into each other (e.g., I currently have twitter and facebook there, and facebook overlaps onto twitter).

Also, I’m not sure how I managed to override the button styles in the header, but for some reason the text in my “donate” button there is red instead of yellow… any ideas on how to fix that?

That’s it for now, and thanks again for all your help!
