FAQ
How do I customize the appearance of the widget?
In the widget options there is a checkbox titled ‘Default Styling’ if you uncheck that box, you can include the following CSS in your own css file with any required changes to apply your custom look and feel to the widget.
<style type="text/css">
h5.TIH_Date {
font-size: 18px;
font-style: italic;
color: #555;
font-weight: bold;
text-align: center;
}
p.TIH_Event {
text-indent: 25px;
margin-top: 10px;
padding-bottom: 10px;
}
div#TIH_Bottom {
margin: 5px 0 5px 20px;
clear: both;
font-size: 8px !important;
}
tihBottom a {
font-size: 8px !important;
}
How do I manage what items appear
In the Widget Settings there are multiple checkboxes that give you access to specific categories of content. Simply uncheck any categories that you would rather not have in your widget, click save and you should be good to go.
