Hi Paolo,

I had tried logged-in and not logged in on the different browsers. Now both seem to be showing count ok.

I still have issue of count showing only on home page – as well as wondering if all listings keep a count separate from my site’s count, and if I should therefore put the fb widget on the right details sidebar?

Well,

I managed to knock something together using LibreOffice Impress – exported the slide in png format – opened that into Gimp for cropping out the space around and uploaded it to GDF modern Child, where a little bit of CSS to reduce header padding got me to something I am happy with for the time being (after several iterations altering the font colours): http://www.loopyfood.net

… no doubt it will be revised before long!

Ah, that makes sense – GDF Modern has another font-size quirk: Heading 2 and Heading 3 are the ‘wrong-way around’ in the back end editor – I’ve got into the habit of using Heading 3 for the larger sub-headings and Heading 2 for those that are smaller.

Thanks!

Thanks Guust,

Are there settings for me to change this? Or is the widget just no good (on this one particular page) for people who do not work with child categories?

Hi Paolo,

thanks for chipping in on this.

I’m not sure what you mean by

you are not using a title. The widget title would be on top and would be 1. Those are CPT names, not widget titles.

I have set it up as a widget and put in a title Screenshot 1 shows the widget setup; Screenshot 2 how the widget fonts are different from all other widget fonts (this is where I came in: I could see no logical reason why the widget is set up to a different spec in term of font sizes to all the other widgets I used – it just looks so wrong!)

Anyway, I had a look at the link you suggested and copied that css to my Custom CSS. This made the list of categories the smaller (correct) font size, but the widget title still was small, so I did some inspect element comparing of font sizes and added some CSS to yours: this is what I added to Custom CSS:

/* following added to make font sizes of widget CPT-Categories same as other Widgets */
.gd-cptcat-cat {
font-size: 18px;
}

.gd-cptcat-ul.gd-cptcat-parent.gd-cpt-flat {
min-width: 140px;
width: 20%;
}

.geodir_list_heading h3 {
margin: 8px 0;
font-size: 24px;

That made the font sizes look great.

I have added the CPT widget to pretty much all pages and it seems to be fine – with one problem: on the category Listings pages (from clicking on any of the categories in a sidebar – e.g., left of home page) the Widget in the sidebar on the resulting page appears empty – see screenshot 3. Pressing Search button at top of page returns a Search result page (with all categories in the same CPT) with the widget area now fine – see screenshot 4. In the backend I have set up the CPT Categories widget in exactly the same way in the Listings Right and Search Right widget areas.

Any ideas?!

thanks.
