In my Shiba Widgets plugin I have a section that looks for the last widget. It is in the shiba-widget-mcol.php file. Most of it is in the function widget, and function end_widget.

‘before_widget’ => ”

becouse I have to identify the last widget and change is css, to make tke widget aligned with the grid (i cannot have them aligned with percent)

Can I make my widget a fixed height

1. Identify your widget div.
2. Set the height of your widget div in CSS.
e.g. #my-widget-div { height: 100px; }

I would like to put in several rows of a widget and therefore want to keep them the same height so they align.

Thank you.

Sounds like a CSS conflict issue. To make something like this work on certain themes, especially highly styled themes, some CSS and div adjustments are usually necessary.

Hopefully I will get to start working on it this week.

Here is something to consider and it’s something I am amazed why no one has attempted it yet, but if you came up with a commercial widget (paid), you could do quite well with this idea…I’d do it myself but I am too busy with my site and designing for both Joomla and WP, but here goes:

Again, based on Joomla, have a widget that lets you enter in a custom style attribute in a field that would go into “any” widget like Widget Logic does. That one puts a form field at the bottom of every widget and you enter in WP Conditional Tags to publish it to select areas of your site. However, take this one step further and add another field where you can do what Joomla has for modules. You make a css style for a module, then with the module open, you can enter in the style you made. So if you did this in your style sheet: .module-blue and then open the module, add -blue to the field, that particular module will take on that module style of blue.

So the idea is to do this for WP widgets. I know it’s possible. Make this along with your method of dynamic width widgets here, you can do quite well if provided as a commercial widget ($) or at least get WordPRess to implement this into a future version and then give you credit for it.

The other option is… come up with one like this and I will utilize it within my themes along with your full credit for it. If interested, let me know.
