Hi, I know I am bit late for the discussion but I would love some help with this. I can’t get the id’s to appear to the code. As i can’t post php here if anyone could email me to help that would be really great. Thanks, Hannah

I solved this by removing the span { display: none; } line and adding text-indent: -9999px to the h2 attributes.

this doesn’t seem to work correctly for me. I can get it to display different bgs for each widget, but when I specify span { display: none; } it doesn’t show the h2 tag at all. If I take that line out, the text displays over my nice pretty header image

how would you add markup to just one widget? say for example you want a link to the tagcloud widget to a full tag page?

Great. PHP code didn’t paste right there. Maybe the mod can fix it.

I was just making a point that he only needs to change his function.php page in case it wasn’t clear.

Thanks again for the solution.

This is what worked for me following the above explanation:

My function.php page:

——————————————-

”,
‘after_widget’ => ‘‘,
‘before_title’ => ”,
‘after_title’ => ”,
));

add_filter(’dynamic_sidebar_params’, ’sidebar_styling’);

function sidebar_styling($params1){
$params1[0]['before_title'] = ”;
return $params1;
}

——————————————-

Simple as that. The only additional coding is CSS.
