no graphics, vertical display

    Hi there,

    Having some trouble with this widget.

    While I have inserted the code into the template PHP, I also have the same issue when I try to use it as a widget.

    Regardless of browser, the time comes up in a vertical display, where I would like it horizontal. Without graphics would be fine, provided I could move the words to after the days/hours/etc.; however, I really need it to all be just one horizontal line.

    I have tried multiple styles, each with the same results. Again, this happens whether it’s a widget or in the actual code, but i will provide my code below.

    <?php echo do_shortcode('[tminus t="23-03-2014 08:15:00" omitweeks="true" jsplacement="inline"/]'); ?>

    As I said – it displays fine, just need to try and get it in line. Website it’s being used on is here:

    teamsweeting.com/rundle

    Not really sure how i can fix it to be horizontally displayed. I’ve tried using the width and height attributes but they do not help (either in widget or shortcode form).

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Cheers,
    JP

    can you check and make sure your theme uses the wp_head(); function in the header.php file. if not, you will have to manually include the style link.

    Please let us know if you need more detailed assistance.

    Hi Baden, thanks for the quick reply.

    Yes there is wp_head() in the header.php file.

    The theme I am using is “Travel Blogger”.

    I’m assuming having this install of wordpress in a sub-directory isn’t an issue. I’m hosting two sites, one on the main domain and one in a sub folder. It is a completely seperate install with seperate databases / etc. I installed the plugin through wordpress, other plugins seem to work fine… just wondering if there is a call somewhere to root directory of the domain instead of the site.. probably unlikely, but only thing i can think of at the moment (with my limited programming knowledge) 🙂

    For some reason (a non-standard thing to be sure) the countdown style css is not being injected into your header. Which version of WP are you using?

    A quick fix would be to manually insert a link to the css file in your header.php file.

    Can you try placing a countdown in the side bar and see if the countdown style css loads that way?

    Hi Baden,

    Using WP 3.8.

    Tried the countdown on the sidebar and get the same results – no image, and each field is a separate line item so it takes up quite a bit of vertical space.

    I’d be content with the text as it is if we could get it on one line and reorder the words so instead of “minutes 23 seconds 31” it would say “23 minutes, 31 seconds”.

    Let me know what you think. Any help would be great 🙂

    Cheers,

    JP:

    Try adding the following to your header.php file, someplace after the wp_title() function:

    <link rel='stylesheet' href='http://www.teamsweeting.com/rundle/wp-content/plugins/jquery-t-countdown-widget/css/jedi/style.css' type='text/css' media='all' />

    This will force-load the css for the jedi countdown style. Not pretty but it should fix the issue.
