Easy Custmizer Grief!

battymaddie

I started using the easy customizer and didn't like how everything looked. When I took away the header and nav bar and tried to do create them in CSS again, they won't show up. Why???

There is also a little box around the header that won't go away and is really distracting. Can I get rid of this? And do you know if I can make it so there isn't so much space between the top of the box containing the slide show and the actual pictures being shown?

I really don't like the navbar creator on the easy customizer. I don't want dots in between my different links, but if they aren't there, the text is too close together.

I wish I never messed with the easy customizer, I was much happier with my site before.

The little box went away. I'd still like answers to my other questions. And I'm also wondering if there is a way to hide the entire box that is behind the slideshow.

In the easy customizer, you can turn off the dots between the items by just setting separator to "None". If you want more spacing between items, that's a simple line of CSS to do that after you've turned off the dots. You can add that CSS and tweak the number to your liking:

#customNav li {padding: 0 4px;}

You can add this CSS to get rid of the background behind the slideshow which comes from the theme you've selected:

.notLoggedIn #slideshowBox .boxTop {display: none !important;}
#slideshowBox, #slideshowBox .boxBottom, #slideshowBox .boxTop {background: none !important; border: none !important;}
#homepage, #slideshowBox, #slideshoBox .boxBottom {padding-top: 0;}

Thank you! Do you know how I can make the slideshow wider?

You can add this CSS and see if it helps:

#homepage {width: auto; margin-left: 15px !important; margin-right: 15px !important;}

Most people who want slideshows to be as large as will fit on screen go with a different slideshow like this one.

That looks so much better! Is there a way to make the slideshow view of my galleries larger?

I think I already answered this in the last line of my previous post. If you're asking something different, please clarify.

Sorry, I'm referring to the other pages that I have linked on my page. Not my homepage. So for instance this one: http://www.madelynwphoto.com/Portraits/Portraits/12525544_KWmrU It's just one of my image galleries that I have set to the slideshow set up, but I would love it to be larger like the one on my homepage. Do I do the same thing you posted before?

I don't know about those types of slideshows. I don't use them because they don't give you any configurability at all.
