[jgmac1106] Drew I can help probably a CSS issue, let me gets to bed in a few....should be able to overide any of the css in Customizer...
# [jgmac1106] okay what are you trying to do to the widgets?
HexDiscord[m], [schmarty] and [chrisbergr] joined the channel
# [jgmac1106] you need to change the size of .embed-player they are all set to be 280×390
# [jgmac1106] it means that if you did .embed-player
{ max-height: 290px} they would be smaller. the tricky thing is your content is all different# [jgmac1106] some play lists have 2 songs some 5 but every player has a height of 390 based? On mobile? for me I am seeing them all 390 with your overflow hidden?
# [jgmac1106] yes but the entire box is 390px your content does not take up 390px in that one
# [jgmac1106] on the right side the boxes are longer because the height is relative to its container....meaning skinnier container you need to stretch out the boc
# [jgmac1106] box*
# [jgmac1106] sorry I am referring to a div as a "container" not to a specific element
# [jgmac1106] the box on the bottom right has A more content, and B the right side widget sidebar is skinnier than your left so the content needs to stretch more
# [jgmac1106] if you had 3x3 block of playdough and put it into a square container 4x4 and then the same block of playdough in a 3x4 container the playdough "content" would stretch..basic same thing here
# [jgmac1106] I am saying if you wanted to do this you would need to change .embed-player
{ max-height: 290px} for each use case, number of songs, left, right with a lot of guessing of max-height# [jgmac1106] I wouldn't attempt it because A: messing with pixels where your height is relative to the container it is in will mess up mobile..I am also not css expert others may have advice
# 
[chrisbergr] Is the max-height property necessary at all?
# [chrisbergr] I don't know the url so I'm not able to see for myself
# [jgmac1106] its not set it is calculated based on screen width
# [jgmac1106] that's the other thing drew it is 390px on my laptop it will be different on my desktop
# [jgmac1106] no I am not and nor can I do what you want
# [jgmac1106] maybe try a negative margin on: tracklist__footer__copyright???
# [chrisbergr] The first thing I notice: The red-ish play button will be translated based on the browsers language. In my case it labels "Wiedergeben". This is too wide and will be cut right before the "N".
# [jgmac1106] if you put .embed-player
{ max-height: 290px} the white spacewill change, but you won;t like result on the right# [jgmac1106] you need to think of them as boxes. the more you put in the box the less white space, the skinnier the box, the less whitespace...to wher as [chrisbergr] points out stuff spills oustise (overflow)
# [jgmac1106] that is called overflow
# [jgmac1106] you have to much crap to stuff in your box
# [chrisbergr] I would do .embed-player
{ max-height: none; height: auto; } - Or do I miss something?# [jgmac1106] yes, that can be done but then the content can't be got
# [jgmac1106] I was offering it more as lesson than solution
# [chrisbergr] Oh sorry 😄
# [jgmac1106] that is probably what it set as seeing it is setting the height relative using flexbox and a box model
# [jgmac1106] You casn design your own widgets as text options and just link to itunes...or better yet songs on your own server
# [jgmac1106] and then control all the layout...within the parameters of your sidebar widget...do they really drive a ton of sales...if not is it the extra white space causing the lack of click through
# [jgmac1106] Drew because your box size is set and your the stuff you are putting in each box is different...I don't really know how to help
# [jgmac1106] CSS subgrid will fix all this one day hopefully soon
# [chrisbergr] 40 Cookies. this iTunes widget is definitely not an option for me in germany.
# [jgmac1106] here is stuff about overflow: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/overflow
# [jgmac1106] [chrisbergr] brings up good point...lot of trackers come with third party plugins, slows down your site, why not <li><a href="song on itunes">my song</a></li>
# [jgmac1106] better yet <li><a href="song on myserver">my song</a> <a href="donate>Donate</a></li>
# [chrisbergr] Or instead of "Donate" I can imagine "Buy on iTunes"
# [jgmac1106] if you want a deep dive here is how the layout is working in the widget: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_Box_Alignment
# [jgmac1106] that is option A....but yeah you could do link to a snippet or whole song and then include a link to buy on itunes
# [jgmac1106] that might make the most sense. visitors can hear snippet or entire song and purchase if they wanrt
# [jgmac1106] side note (off topic) I publish a list of all the torrents I am seeding: https://jgregorymcverry.com/myseeds
# [jgmac1106] what you would do is go to to your shared host make a directory called /music/ or whatever, and upload snippets or whole songs..
# [jgmac1106] then custom text/html widget <li><a href="drewmcweeney.com/music/snippet">Play Now</a> <a href="itunes link">Buy on Itunes</a></li>
# [jgmac1106] I have all 60ish gigs of my music on my website.....because I can...no other real reason
# [chrisbergr] Thats a lot. It seems like you're making music for a long time 🙂
# [chrisbergr] 1970
# [jgmac1106] ain't my music...my music collection
# [jgmac1106] drewmcweeney, yeah he is super talented musician...
# [chrisbergr] Oh now I get it. Is this legal?
# [jgmac1106] they are all ripped CD's I have and collected and traded for some thirty odd years...no different the listening to the radio and hitting record to make a mixtape IMO
# [jgmac1106] and I don't distribute, don't share, just for me
# [jgmac1106] more chat than WP...but streaming bout the cost of one CD a month,....just think folks are better served buying one album a month, though I have sirius...so I stream as well....hypocrisy is just a form of pragmatism
# [chrisbergr] Okay, I was just surprised. In my country everything is so complicated.
# [chrisbergr] Something funny: Publishers filed lawsuits against Google because Google News displays their headlines. Google should pay the publishers. Google says no thanks, throws them out and now the publishers plan to file lawsuits to get readded by Google
# [jgmac1106] lets head to chat for the discussion or indieweb if you think on topic, but I have already spammed wp channel enough

# [chrisbergr] debug.log tells "wp_deregister_script was called <strong>incorrectly</strong>. Do not deregister the <code>jquery-ui-core</code> script in the administration area. To target the front-end theme, use the <code>wp_enqueue_scripts</code> hook."
# [chrisbergr] I guess this is not done by any indieweb plugin, so it is off topic here. I just needed to express myself. Now I'm downloading the whole plugins directory to be able to do a directory search for this function. Unnecessary work.
