Widget | CSS customization

@Sala let me have a look. That theme is using inline styling which is bad practice and means you’d have to force override with

 !important

[Sala]

@phenomlab Actually, I was the one who made it utilize inline CSS because I believed it would be a simpler method to lessen the load of http requests.

[phenomlab]

@Sala ah, OK. That wouldn’t have any impact on the http requests as such as its only text that is being requested. The best way to optimise in that case is to minify the css.

[phenomlab]

@Sala That is in the below class

#single .main-article {
    position: relative;
    z-index: 1;
    background: #fff;
    padding: 50px 60px;
    -webkit-box-shadow: 0 3px 12px -1px rgba(7,10,25,.1), 0 22px 27px -30px rgba(7,10,25,.1);
    box-shadow: 0 3px 12px -1px rgba(7,10,25,.1), 0 22px 27px -30px rgba(7,10,25,.1);
}

You should experiment with the padding: 50px 60px; to get the spacing you need.

Changing to padding: 0px 60px; ought to do it

Before

After

@phenomlab i tried with 0; and 60; padding, it works fine on desktop but not on mobile version. Somehow on the content on mobile are also squeezed at the center,

Probably @media can be a good thought

[phenomlab]

@Sala Yes, try

@media screen and (max-width: 767px) {
#single .main-article {
    padding: 0px 20px 20px 20px;
   }
}

Result

[Sala]

@phenomlab it’s applied

[phenomlab]

@Sala Working? From what I see, it is

[Sala]

@phenomlab I was expecting you would need my login information for this one, but you solved it without needing to log in! Congratulations! Another thing is that the website appeared to have been zoomed in when I viewed it once using a friend’s laptop, which I believe had a 14 or 15-inch screen. Do you experience this similar problem? Is it possible to make it that you can see a lot when you visit? Just like many forums

“Late reply, my phone became really hot when applying that css” 🥵

[Sala]

Sometime back, it handled huge traffic without lag, wordpress is just superb!

[phenomlab]

@Sala impressive!

[phenomlab]

@Sala hmm - are you sure that your friend isn’t using zoom at the browser level? There’s nothing that would make your site zoom by default. Your friend may also be using large fonts which can make sites already to look larger than they actually are.

[Sala]

@phenomlab i suspect the ads inside the content in articles , are not benefiting from full width of the article div container, probably they’re in some other container? Bcoz all the time (on mobile) they’re positioned at center and with a small width

[Sala]

I will inspect next time, and take some screenshots of the zoom issue.

[phenomlab]

@Sala said in Widget | CSS customization:

probably they’re in some other container?

Yes, likely.

[Sala]

@phenomlab we break that container, when some time ever comes. Full width has potential of increasing chance of click, tho could sound annoying, i know

[Sala]

@phenomlab it appears this css didn’t take effect, despite using ! important. If you able to see the path, i could change it from cpanel. Google reported the same issue today.

.perfmatters-lazy-youtube img{height:315px!important}

@Sala Try locating the CSS block

div.text img

And replace it with

div.text img:not([data-perfmatters-preload])

So, you land up with

@media (min-width: 800px) {
div.text img:not([data-perfmatters-preload]) {
    width: 100%;
    height: 315px;
   }
}

@phenomlab 480*360 its being read from the ytimage so it could be a background img? I have attempted to apply the last css 2 mins ago, and it did not work

[phenomlab]

@Sala Works for me - are you testing this on a desktop? The mobile CSS is a different class
