Sidebar Help Please

[Supernatural: Unforgiven]

Hello,

So I am using the Sidebar Redux and also the Recently Updated Threads Sidebar plug ins.


What I would like to know is if I can fix it so that my images are in the background and my text gets superimposed over the top of the image. 

Which...   it does seem to do that, however...   the text goes up at the top of the box and I don't know how to move it down into the blank space built in to the image. 

The goal of this is to have images blend together seamlessly so it looks like one long side bar.   But, we can't make one long side bar as then you can't adjust the padding for the text and such.  If that makes sense.  I was able to do this easily in my old version.


Anyway...  any help would be appreciated.

Edit:  Just in case you need to know I added stuff to the CSS to try and fix it as well:


/* Custom added code */

.sidebarr-main .content-box {
 padding: 0px !important;
 border-radius: 0px;
 
}

#sidebarimg1 > .content-box {
   background-color: #222222;
   width: 200px;
   margin-top: -5px;
   text-align: justify;
   padding: 0px !important;
}

#sidebarl1 > .content-box {
   background-image: url('http://i220./dd175/MXRPG/SU/V3/Side/Death32.png~original');
   background-color: #222222;
   height: 600px;
   width: 170px;
   margin-top: 200px;
   text-align: justify;
   padding: 15px !important;
}

#sidebarl2 > .content-box {
   background-color: #222222;
   height: 300px;
   width: 170px;
   margin-top: -200px;
   text-align: justify;
   padding: 15px !important;
}

Hi, Supernatural: Unforgiven.

The easiest ways to move the text down are to either add a padding-top property to each content box you want to affect or to enclose the content inside the content box in a <div> and add inline styles to that, like <div style="padding-top: 100px;"> or something similar.

Aaaaaah, ok. I'll try padding-top. I had tried a margin-top and that didn't work but not padding. The second part of that if I used a div to enclose the content. Where would I put the div?

Hopefully the padding thing will work. I'd still like to know where I would need to insert the div. In the structure somewhere? Headers/Footers? Which part? 'Cause it's a jungle in there. LOL

Thanks for the help.

The div would go inside your content box in the sidebar plugin's settings. You'd surround all the text within the content box inside a single div, then add padding to that div with the style attribute (or you could add a class to the div and address it in your style sheet).
