Though I've only worked on a couple of wordpress sites so far, trying to get quality plugins and support for them has been incredibly frustrating.</p> <p>I'd like to say that I'm more and more impressed with this plugin as I use it, and your response was awesome! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/sidebar-widget#post-3020 Fri, 29 Jan 2010 13:08:00 +0000 Kevin Flahaut 3020@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Erik, here's the run down.</p> <p>The reason the form looks different on a page with a another Gravity Form is that the default Gravity Forms CSS is only loaded on pages where a form is embedded in the editor. Forms used in the widget don't automatically load the CSS, that's why you were seeing the difference.</p> <p>I copied all of the default styles from the GF stylesheet and appended them to your theme's style.css file. That way, the form styles are present for all pages. I then went into the forms settings and turned off the "output css" option since those are now in the default theme stylesheet. </p> <p>I also added a few extra style declarations to your style.css to target a form inside the sidebar widget.</p> <pre><code>/*Gravity Forms Sidebar Widget Styles ---------------------*/ #sidebarwidgeted .gform_wrapper .gform_heading {margin-bottom:0; padding-bottom:0;} #sidebarwidgeted .gform_wrapper .gform_footer {margin:0; padding:10px 0 0 0;} #sidebarwidgeted ul#gform_fields_1 {margin:0;} #sidebarwidgeted .gform_wrapper {margin: 0 0 10px 10px;}</code></pre> <p>You should be able to tweak it from there or follow the inheritance to effect other changes if you need. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/sidebar-widget#post-3019 Fri, 29 Jan 2010 11:43:14 +0000 Kevin Flahaut 3019@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Erik, email sent. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/sidebar-widget#post-3015 Fri, 29 Jan 2010 10:09:50 +0000 schmitty23 3015@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Kevin,</p> <p>The site is currently protected by being in maintenance mode.

I downloaded Yoast's plugin and installed it, very straightforward. I do have two issues with it though and Yoast has closed comments on his site, so I wanted to post here:</p> <p>1) I'm not exactly sure how I can use CSS to style the individual elements (the submit button is a little too close to the last input field</p> <p>2) When I'm displaying a page which contains a gravity form, the spacing on the sidebar widget between elements doubles or triples. It looks awful, but only happens when displaying another gravity form</p> <p>3) I've tried two social bookmarking plugins (sexy bookmarks, and AddToAny) and tried to constrain them to only showing on posts, but they actually show up in my Gravity sidebar</p> <p>The 2nd two are the most significant issues .. do you have any advice? </p>
