Schedule slider

[danwroe]

My slider has the correct information, however, there is a black border on the left right and bottom that blocks part of the third game showing. There is also a gray border around the outside which you can see to the right of the box.

I would like it to appear as the Cal football slider that you show with my team colors.

I’m on WordPress 4.2.4 with FootballSite theme. MSTW Schedules & Scoreboards version 1.3.

The site is: http://www.legacyunitedfc.com/

Let me know if you need additional information.

Hi danwroe,
Sorry for the delayed response. It appears that your page template simply does not provide enough space to fit a slider that is 3 games wide. Game blocks on sliders have a fixed width of 187px. A 3 game slider needs 571px and your containing element is 514px wide. As a first step try a two game slider using the

games_to_show=2

argument in your slider shortcode.

Let me know what happens.

Look at it now, it’s still cutting off the side:

Legacy United FC

Hey danwroe,
Sorry again for the delayed response. I’ve been looking a it, and this one was a bit tricksy. Turns out that the theme has a .box selector that’s colliding with the plugin’s .box selector. So add the following rule to the plugin’s stylesheet:

div.box.box_legacy-united-fc-beat-the-heat-2015 {
    padding: 0;
}

Let me know how that goes for you.

I added that and no change. I did notice at the top of the page for the plugin’s style sheet it says this:

Editing mstw-schedules-scoreboards/css/mstw-ss-styles.css (inactive)

danrwroe,
I added that rule in the inspector. It will work in the stylesheet as well. You can also try this one, just in case:

.ss-slider .box.box_legacy-united-fc-beat-the-heat-2015 {
    padding: 0;
}

I have no clue what this message is or where exactly you are seeing it.

Editing mstw-schedules-scoreboards/css/mstw-ss-styles.css (inactive)

BUT where did you change the stylesheet? In the plugin’s CSS directory? Or did you create a custom stylesheet in your theme/child theme’s main directory? If there’s a (correctly named) custom stylesheet in the theme directory, it is loaded later than the stylesheet in the plugin’s CSS directory. You might want to review this man page.

That worked, thanks. I’ll email you a screen shot so you can see where the message shows.

Cool. We’ll consider this one resolved.
