Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Advanced Featured Post Widget

The styling of the widget requires some knowledge of css. If you are not familiar with that, try adding padding: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; to the style section.

Add something like -webkit-border-top-left-radius: 5px; -webkit-border-top-right-radius: 5px; -moz-border-radius-topleft: 5px; -moz-border-radius-topright: 5px; border-top-left-radius: 5px; border-top-right-radius: 5px; to the widget style. This is not supported by all browsers yet, but should work in almost all of them.

Add something like -moz-box-shadow: 10px 10px 5px #888888; -webkit-box-shadow: 10px 10px 5px #888888; box-shadow: 10px 10px 5px #888888; to the widget style to get a nice shadow down right of the container. This is not supported by all browsers yet, but should work in almost all of them.

Most of the time you will have to use the styles like that: 'font-weight: bold !important; color: #0000dd !important;' Since the stylesheet of the theme will have a higher priority, you will have to make your styles more important in the hierarchy.
