    Unfortunately I still have a few design problems where I need your help again 🙂

    li.row.clearfix.category-1, li.row.clearfix.category-2, li.row.clearfix.category-3, li.row.clearfix.category-4, li.row.clearfix.category-5, li.row.clearfix.category-6, li.row.clearfix.category-7, li.row.clearfix.category-8, li.row.clearfix.category-9, li.row.clearfix.category-10 {
        border: 1px solid;
        border-radius: 4px;
        margin-left: 10px;
        background: #ffffff;
        border-left: 5px solid #0088cc;
        margin-top: 10px;
    }
    

    You gave me the box design

    it would be possible to make the sub-categories like here in the photo

    @riekmedia Without modifying the template itself (which you could do with nodebb-plugin-customize), this is not going to be easy. The nearest I can get with pure CSS is the below

    b111dea3-6324-4059-b3b0-5a86ef8225aa-image.png

    Even then, the amount of CSS required to get this look is excessive

    .categories>li .content, .category>ul>li .content {
        padding: 10px 15px;
        border-right: 1px solid #0088cc;
    }
    .categories .description, .category .description, .subcategory .description {
        margin-bottom: 10px;
        margin-left: -15px !important;
    }
    .categories .category-children, .category .category-children, .subcategory .category-children {
        display: inline;
    }
    .categories>li .content, .category>ul>li .content {
        margin-bottom: -10px;
    }
    .description {
        margin-right: -16px;
    }
    .categories .category-children, .categories .description, .category .category-children, .category .description, .subcategory .category-children, .subcategory .description {
        line-height: 1.8;
    }

    @phenomlab okay, the plugin is not working. is installed and no Menü point

    You helped me with the footer, unfortunately it doesn’t work as it should. As soon as I put a widget in the sidbar, it shreds the footer 😛

    Did you rebuild and restart ?

    This sounds like the HTML is incorrect (in the sense that a DIV tag is missing or not properly closed). Can you confirm that the login you provided for your forum (for me) is still active ? I’ll need to login and take a look.

    Hey @phenomlab , yes the login is still active. You can also register if you want and I’ll join the admin group. Regarding the design, I rebuilt the template as an html file over the weekend and then re-cleaned it. So that there are no Div errors. However, the forum generally has a problem with a div with the container. it says class=“row container”. Actually, this is without the row.

    usually it’s just class=“container” without row

    I can also send you the html template if you want to have a look at it before

    Thanks. Can you send the template ? Either here or via PM is fine.

    @riekmedia I’ve applied some new CSS to your site. Can you reload the page and try again ?

    For the record, this is what I added

    #footer {
        background: #2d343e;
        border-top: 4px solid #2d343e;
        font-size: 0.9em;
        margin-top: 70px;
        padding: 80px 0 0;
        position: relative;
        clear: both;
        bottom: 0;
        left: 0;
        right: 0;
        z-index: 1000;
        margin-left: -15px;
        margin-right: -338px;
    }
    

    The /categories page seems a bit messed up, so looking at that currently

    EDIT - issued some override CSS in the CATEGORIES widget

    <!--- CSS fix for overspill on /categories page - DO NOT DELETE -->
    <style>
    #footer {
        margin-right: -45px;
    }
    </style>
    

    That should resolve the /categories issue.

    @cagatay You should ask in the NodeBB forums. Perhaps reference this post https://discuss.flarum.org/d/23066-who-read

    @cagatay You’d target the body tag and use the below line of CSS background: url(/assets/customcss/backgrounds/default/default.png) no-repeat center center fixed; Obviously, you need to change the path to suit where your image is being stored. More info around the background property can be found here https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_background.php

    @mike-jones Yes, you’ll typically see this type of behaviour if there is another style that has higher priority in the sense that yours will be overridden. Using !important will override the higher preference, but should be used sparingly rather than everywhere.
