wordpress thesis theme help...

Can someone please look at this "test" site I have. Its my "practice" website that I am learning the Thesis Theme on. That way I don't mess up my money sites until I know what I'm doing. Many of my content sites are built this same way using Thesis, so what I do is tweak it on this domain, then change all the rest. There are three things I'm trying to figure out. The website is omahamobileoffers dot com

1) On the right side, under the opt-in form there are 36 pixels of white space in between the two sidebar widgets. How do I change that to either zero or maybe 5 pixels instead of so much?

2) On the same side, sidebar 2, the first widget (opt-in form code) has about 22 pixels lower than on the left side, sidebar 1. How do I set them up so both sidebars start at the same level?

3) For this I may have to PM you the code to fix this, but if you look at the opt-in box there is about 10 pixels of white space above the aweber code. I don't know enough about HTML code, but how do I change that so it meets up to the green and there is no blank white space?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  • For #1 you'd need to either put both items in the same text widget, or style your text widgets to have no margin or padding above or below them.

    For #2 you have this piece of code in the style sheet -

    ul.sidebar_list {
    padding-top: 2.2em;


    }

    That padding-top:2.2em is creating the space. Change it to 0, or remove it.

  • Thank you, I put them in the same text widget and the space between was removed. I also deleted everything for the multimedia box i added, which removed the padding.

    How about the opt-in space above the aweber code? Any idea how to bring the aweber code up so there is no white space?

    • Hi Adam - like I said, it's in the style sheet.

      If thesis has a place for 'custom css' then you'll want to add this:

      ul.sidebar_list {padding-top:0;}

      or if that doesn't work, this -

      ul.sidebar_list {padding-top: 0 !important;}

      Should remove the space no problem.
  • Adam, hi

    Are you using your Thesis custom.css file..? If not you should be, because making those changes to padding and any other selectors is both easy and safe - in that you won't lose them when you upgrade Thesis.

    In addition to that you should install and use Firebug - and great Firefox add-on. It tells you exactly which selectors to edit when you need to. I reviewed it here:
