Hey,

i have two issues regarding my sidebar.

1) I’d like to show recent posts in a more sophisticated manner (including pictures) just as you do here http://theme.co/x/demo/integrity/1/pages/sidebar-left/

tried it with using a text block in the widget menu and use the following shortcode: [recent_posts count=”3″ orientation=”vertical”]

However nothing seems to happen, when using this shortcode. When i use the the “recent posts” from the available widget section, only the title of the posts is showed withou an image

2) moreover i’d like to change the style and the background of the subscription form i’m using in the sidebar. right now it’s just a boring mailchimp form. I have no clue where to customize it

Thanks for your help

Hi There,

Thanks for writing in! #1 You can update your shortcode to:

[x_recent_posts count="3" orientation="vertical"]

Your code above should work too, just make sure it has the right format of double quotes.

#2 How do you want it to look like? Please provide us the site URL so we can take a closer look.

Cheers!

Hi Felix,

You can add this under Custom > CSS in the Customizer.

.x-sidebar .widget_x_email_form {
	background-image: url('IMAGE URL');
}

Replace the IMAGE URL with your actual image URL.

Hope it helps, Cheers!
