Magazine Pro home middle widget

[TeeTide]

I'm trying to change the home middle widget to show TWO categories instead of one.

See attached images. The 2 category is what I'm trying to get it to be.

Brian told me on Twitter that I could do this via css. I'm yet to figure out how.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This would be fantastic... I hope someone has an answer, as it's exactly what I'm trying to do!

CSS would be by far the easiest way or you could add another widget inline with the existing one.

Brad - that looks fantastic. Can't wait to get home tonight and try it. Will let you know how it works for me. Many thanks for sharing your knowledge!

[Brad Dalton]

No worries. Took me a while to get my head around it and didn't work for the first few times when testing locally. Not sure why but it works now.

Thanks for your patience.

Hey there, this is fantastic, thanks so much for the help! I get them to split, but I can't seem to get them to display side by side, even if I adjust the percentages:

Any ideas?

Brad, Andrea: Thank you both so much. It's great to get an answer around here....let alone two answers. i deeply appreciate both you taking the time to explain it to us newbies.

Thanks, this is exactly what I was looking for too.

However, on my layout it seems to have messed up the home bottom widget which no longer displays but leaves a huge space between the home middle widgets and the footer widgets.

Did this happen for anyone else too?

Thanks again.

Hi Brad,

Thanks for adding this. It works on my magazine pro theme.

Do you know how to add a link on each category header on home-middle? For e.g: Travel, Lifestyle categories on home-middle - I would like these to be clickable with a link to each category url.

Do you know what I mean? Thanks.

Here's my original question: http://www.studiopress.community/topic/how-to-link-home-middle-category-to-my-category-url-on-magazine-pro-theme/
