      Hi all

      Aspire Pro is great, but one thing that we find tricky is the ‘Front Page 2’ widget which houses the enews signup.
      We would still like to use this widget for sign ups, but perhaps eslewhere on the page.
      The thing about ‘Front Page 2’ is that it is a totally different widget to the others in both dimensions and overlay ( the way it overlays into Wdidget 1)

      The questions are:
      1. How can we delete this widget entirely, and if so what happens to the orders/numbers of the rmeianing widgets?
      2. If we can’t do 1. above, how can we make ‘Front Page 2’ like the other widgets so it flows down the page with the same widths?

      many thanks
      Phillip

        Hi Phillip,

        Perhaps easiest is just to not populate that widget with anything. If you want to use the eNews extended sign-up functionality, you can drag that element to any other widget area. Then, you’ll just move onto Front Page 3 as the next full width widget.

        I’m sure there’s a bunch of code you can remove to unregister the widget but, this will get it done much easier.

        Hope that helps,

        Bruce

          Thanks Bruce

          My memory is we tried that before and the widget persisted but that is incorect.

          Yes indeed, removing the widget content removes the widget area from appearing, but now we have a huge white space between widget 1 & 3
          http://223.130.27.135/~golly381/

          Any idea how we can reduce that wasted space (which I presume is left over from not having Widget 2 inserted)?

          Thanks again!

            Hi Phillip,

            You’re welcome. I’m ok with the simple stuff 馃檪

            For the white space, you could try targeting the padding at the top of Front Page 3 and see if that works. Something like this:

            .front-page-3 .flexible-widgets {
            padding-top: 50px;
            }

            Hope this helps!

            -Bruce

              @marmoset It looks like there is some extra padding at the bottom of .front-page-1, but it appears to be coming from the Genesis Extender plugin you’re using – 

              .front-page-1 .flexible-widgets {
    padding: 0 0 120px;
}

              Did you add that in? If so, just remove the padding and it will remove the extra space right under the front-page-1 widget.

              Let me know if that helps.

                Hi Bruce

                Thanks that did the trick! You’re a legend!

                Thanks Wes
                That extra CSS was so that we could have the soliloquy slider take up the entire front page 1 widget. So far so good with Bruce’s suggestion.

                Thanks again.
                Phillip
