Wordpress Themes - WP Forum at BFA
There will be no more development for Atahualpa (or any other theme), and no support. Also no new registrations. I turned off the donation system. I may turn the forum to read only if it gets abused for spam. Unfortunately I have no time for the forum or the themes. Thanks a lot to the people who helped in all these years, especially Larry and of course: Paul. Take care and stay healthy -- Flynn, Atahualpa developer, Sep 2021

Styling an RSS Widget

I've been trying to solve this for hours. I have an RSS widget on my front page. I want to style every other line. There are so many classes and divs that lead up to the data:
Code:
<div id="front_page_widget_area" class="bfa_widget_area">
	<div id="rss-4" class="widget widget_rss">
	<div class="widget-title"><h3>
	 <a class='rsswidget' href='http://gruvr.com?city=greenville-nc-27834' title='7 performances within about 19 miles of Greenville Nc 27834 in the next 44 days , top  listed first'>Live Music in the Greenville, NC Area!</a>
</h3></div>
<ul><li>
<a class='rsswidget' href='http://gruvr.com/band/parmalee/Dec-31-10' title='Parmalee Greenville : ***All Shows Postponed Until Further Notice*** on 2010-12-31 [&hellip;]'>Fri Dec 31st: Parmalee at ***All Shows Postponed Until Further Notice***  Greenville</a>
<div class='rssSummary'>Parmalee Greenville : ***All Shows Postponed Until Further Notice*** on 2010-12-31 [&hellip;]</div></li>
<li>class='rssSummary'>Bimini Rd. Greenville :
I've tried quite a few combinations of divs and classes with the styling I want and added them to CSS/HTML inserts, but nothing works. What am I missing?

Sorry, I forgot: www.greenvilleconcerts.com and this is the last CSS I tried:


.rsswidget a { font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1.0em; font-weight: bold; color: #003399; background-color: #FFFF99; }

No, that didn't work. I was keeping my fingers crossed though!

It's funny that the things I try in Expression Web 4 don't work. Seems to be a piece of the puzzle I am missing...

Thanks for helping me. I tried this code
Code:
div.widget_rss ul li a.rsswidget {
font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1.0em; font-weight: bold; color: #003399; background-color: #FFFF99;
}
in the Add HMTL/CSS option of atahualpa, and as you can see, http://greenvilleconcerts.com it idid not change the code in the RSS widget on the front page. I too, am using firefox. Did you go to my site and make the change that you said worked?

I'm not quite sure if you want to style every other rss feed or the second line of each rss feed. Anyway here it the CSS to change the RSS title, the first line of the feed and the second line (the rss summary). You should be able to pick out what you need
HTML Code:
.widget-title h3 a.rsswidget {color: red;}
div.widget_rss ul li a.rsswidget {color: yellow;}
div.widget_rss ul li .rssSummary {color: green;}
STB was only able to use firefox/firebug to change what he was seeing, not actually change your css. The only way to change your site is by going thru the backend and saving the option to the database.

Note: you can't change every other rss group because there is nothing unique for the lines. If they has a class of...say 'even' and 'odd', then you could have every other group a different color.
