Styly My Sidebar Widgets ?

Jitender · #1 (**permalink**) 11-16-2008, 08:32 AM

Just like the subscribe box , featured video , hot conversation box are styled using this image .
How can I style my other widgets like tag cloud , category and few more with this image.
I saw it on few websites . But don`t know how to do it .
So any sort of help would be appreciated .
Thanx to all in advance.

hi jai,

open up sidebar php and locate this line

Code:

<div class="tagcloud">
	<h3>Tag Cloud</h3>
	<ul>
	<li><?php wp_tag_cloud('smallest=8&largest=20&number=25&orderby=name');?></li>
	</ul>
</div>

change to following

Code:

<div class="tagcloud">
	<h2><span><span><strong>Tag Cloud</strong></span></span></h2>
	
</div>

we just basically changed <h3> to <h2><span><span><strong> and </h3> to </strong></span></span></h2>

pm your url to me, i can take a look at your code

Jay · #10 (**permalink**) 11-27-2008, 10:06 AM

i just checked your site, none of the code i mentioned are running?

anyway

the code i gave you works perfectly,

Code:

locate <h3> tags and replace it with
<h2><span><span><strong>

and then locate </h3> tags and replace it with
</strong></span></span></h2>

example

for tag cloud

Code:

<div class="tagcloud">
		<h2><span><span><strong><?php echo ot_lang( 'sidebar_cloud' ); ?></strong></span></span></h2>
		<ul>
			<li><?php wp_tag_cloud('smallest=8&largest=20&number=25&orderby=name');?></li>
		</ul>
	</div>
	<div class="clear"></div>

If all else fails, try replacing the

Code:

<h2>

in the code above with

Code:

<h2 class="special">

And see if that works.

Hey Thx Jay.
The code you mentioned above did the magic

. However friend it only does magic for the by default widgets that come with one-theme . If I use my own widget lets say some text widget that comes out plain and not with the style.
Anyways your help did surely work

I really appreciate it.
Thx to mc2w as well. Friend I didn`t try your code because I`ve dropped the idea as of now

but I thank you as well for replying , this would certainly help others in the forum.

Hey Jay I am using that firebug thingie however I didn`t know that it could be used this way as well and I also tried doing it

and man I could solve my few css problems with it. Nice addon

Thx man
