Those Darn Widgets

COM

It has also come to my attention that when people are using various widgets in the theme the sidebars tend to get a little messed up. There appears to be two main problems that I’ll try and describe, just in case you run across the same problem.

Now that Elements of SEO has been out in the wild for a little while I have been able to see how others have used it. One thing that I immediately noticed was when people implemented various widgets; a bullet would appear next to the heading.

I didn’t like how that looked so I decided to get rid of it. Now you can add as many widgets as you like and they will always look just like this demo site.

When I submitted this theme to the Wordpress Directory I had to add a few more features that would comply with the WP 2.5 standards. Here they are:

  • Gravatar support
  • Tag support
  • Alignment classes: .alignright, .alignleft, .aligncenter
  • Caption attributes to add captions directly under your photos (WP 2.6)
