    Oh dear – I exported the WordPress database into CSV – and it means nothing to me. I don’t even know what I’m looking for to be able to match up with the CSV of the old blogs from CMS Made Simple.

    I do have a backup of the old blog database in .xml format – and I have access to that database through phpMyAdmin. Is there another format that might be easier to work with – or that I can understand what to do with it? I’m so sorry – this seems a bit above my experience level. 🙁

    So…are you saying I need to do the RSS feed instead of importing the old database into phpMyAdmin? The site isn’t up any longer, but the database is still in phpMyAdmin, but I don’t see a way to export an RSS through there. What now?

    I did – but I’m unfamiliar with this, so I exported through phpMyAdmin the old database in SQL format, XML and CSV. Which format do I import back into the WordPress database? And – please forgive me if this is a stupid question – to do the import, do I do that from the home screen of phpMyAdmin, or do I click on my _wordpress database first, and import it into that? The old database is in the same phpMyAdmin as the new _wordpress database is, but of course, it’s all CMS Made Simple, so I don’t enough to know if I just point my wp-config.php to that, if it will magically work. Sorry – new to this part of working with WordPress.

    Thanks!

    OMG Adam! Thank you so much! I had tried that code, just without the background-image:none!important; in there–leaving the {} blank. I didn’t know about that little snippet. It’s working perfectly–thank you so much. 🙂

    Ugh! Has no effect. 🙁

    Hmmm, not working. I’m so stumped why I could get it to work with one sidebar, but with two, nada. What a booger. Any other ideas?

    I’ve tried reading this codex http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Finding_Your_CSS_Styles, and it confirmed that I believe I’ve found the right part of my CSS I need to change, just don’t know what/how to change it. In my previous theme, all I had to do was add #weather to the ul code to format the weather widget the way I wanted, but that theme only had one sidebar. With this theme and two sidebars, I’m getting confused. I’ve tried changing what I think is the right code lots of different ways and it doesn’t have any effect. I can change that .right .widget code to remove those arrows, but it changes the whole right sidebar. I can’t figure out how to remove the arrows from just the weather widget part of the sidebar. Any ideas?

    t3ch33, that’s not the problem. Is it possibly a theme issue? I switched to the classic theme, and at least when you click on the 0 comments link, it lets you leave one. The default theme has no link whatsoever. In the theme I’m using, there is a 0 comments link, but nothing happens when you click on it. I tried to find the code on a different template in my theme, but I don’t know what, if anything, to copy and put in my page template. On one of my pages, the All About Desi page, I’m using a different page template, and that one seems to be working okay, but there again, I don’t know what part of the code to copy that will make this work on the other pages. 🙁

    Thank you both, but for some reason, Simon, that didn’t work. Being the widget and WP idiot I am, I forgot the basics–how to find my source code! DUH! I’m so sorry I was being stupid, Moshu.

    I found the class for that whole section being widget, so in my stylesheet, I added this:

    .widget ul ul {padding:0px 0px 0px 1px; line-height:14px; list-style:none;}

    It seems to be working fine, but just because I got the desired result, does that mean I’m doing it right?

    Thank you both for your help! 🙂

    I am not as experienced as some others here–I’m just asking for a little guidance, and have received wonderful help so far. Please forgive me for not catching on as fast as you would apparently like–but I feel that if I could find the source code for this, I’d be able to figure it out. That’s the problem, which I may not have been very good at articulating clearly. Where is the code for this particular widget? How can I learn it if I can’t even find it?

    I didn’t touch the WP core file–I didn’t know what to do with it so left it alone. I’ve looked forever in my stylesheet and cannot find anything for this spacing. I found a class for the line-height for ul and li, but when I change that, it changed the line-height for the whole list. The rest of the pages list is fine–just the space between that Desi page it’s subpage is so big. Am I missing something really obvious? Thanks for your patience. 🙂

    Thread Starter Taryn

    (@ladytike)

    Let’s say I give up on the folding. How can I get the vertical spacing between the page and it’s subpage to be the same as the rest of the list? I don’t like how it looks with there being so much space between them. I’m using widgets, and can’t find the code for the pages widget in my theme. My sidebar starts with the code for the categories widget–I don’t understand. Do I modify the widgets.php file in my main directory instead?

    OK–good to know. I was worried I was missing out on some spectacular, wonderful thing. 🙂

    (@ladytike)

    Ahhh–so to make my subpages collapsable, do I need to pull the pages widget out of my sidebar area in my admin, and then code in the pages somehow? Maybe in a text widget (I’m wanting to make sure I keep the same graphical look as the other widgets.)
