Showcase

[Ron King]

I’m using the Widgetkit to create a showcase slider following the directions in the tutorial. When it get to the point of putting the widget in the proper place, the tutorial says to put it into either Banner Wide, or Banner Short. Pure & Simple has only Banner as a choice. If I had a choice I’d want to use the Banner Short, but it works that way it is okay. It leaves a funny black border on the sides of the slider instead of going full width. Is there a way to fix that?

Also, and of more concern, is that the banner displays on all pages instead of just the opening page. Why it that”

How so I move the text of the page higher?

You can see what I’m working on here: www.http://jimbrittphoto.com/wordpress/

I moved the Slider Widget to Top 1 and actually like that better because it leaves a border all the way around. However, it also shows on all pages.

To repeat something I asked in the last post, I really want to lessen the space above and below content in the body of the pages.

Thanks for all of your help. Ron

ps I hope I’m not being too much of a pain lately……

Hi Ron,
Seems, you haven’t put the widgetkit slideshow package (puresimple) that is available in the theme folder package into the Widgetkit plugin styles folder. Please, follow the tutorial accordingly and upload the widgetkit slideshow package that we have provided.

And, To reduce the top space of the content you should put the following CSS into the child theme CSS.

#content {
	padding: 0rem 0 3rem;
}

Shekhar, I had already done that, but I did it again and got the same result, so I’m still doing something wrong. However …… with the code you gave me to move things higher on the page, using that and a shortcode gives me exactly the result I want, so I’m good. Thanks!!!!!

Come to think about it, is there a way to remove some of the space at the bottom of the body of the page too?

Hi Ron,
To reduce the bottom content size you should use the CSS that i provided earlier in this thread. It should look like.

#content {
	padding: 0rem 0 0rem;
}

additionally, if there are widgets activated on that page that can also cause space problems So, display the widgets only on the pages that you need.

Thanks.
