Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about WP Notes Widget

Select the "I will use my own CSS styles for WP Notes Widget" option on the widget configuration page. This will disable all built in WP Notes Widget styles. You can take a look at public/less/wp-notes-public.less to view the LESS file used to generate the CSS file used on the front end of the website. This may be helpful when creating your own styles. You can add your own styles to the style.css file in your active theme folder, or another file if your theme does not use style.css for theme styles.

The images used in the screenshots are a PNG file and have been created with a transparent background. Only this file type and GIFs allow transparent backgrounds. JPGs are not capable of having transparent backgrounds.

You can attach any download that Wordpress supports. In many cases it would make sense to have .PDF file as an attachment but any file type in your media library will work. This includes .mp3s, images, even video files. I can't get my tweets to post to my Twitter account There are a few possible reasons why you are experiencing difficulties: You did not check the "send tweet on publish or update" checkbox Your tweet is over the 140 character limit You did not enter the proper authentication credentials You are trying to tweet an exact duplicate of a tweet you recently posted
