Mike, a link to the site (via PM if you desire) would help me help you for these styling/page-layout type questions.

Hi Cindy, thanks for your quick reply - here is the site https://www.dazzlerscliponearrings.com.au - ideally adding a blank full length table row above the existing top row, so an integral part of the table, into which the existing heading of 'Latest News' would be placed instead of consuming (more) space on the page and such that an image can be inserted in lieu of the text .... so it makes a single element when loaded on the page, in lieu of 2 lines of text (and resultant 2 rows of white space) plus table. The to view all articles click view all text could be incorporated in the same row block as the article title (this part I have been able to do).
Maybe to make that result less 'blocky' possibly have top and side borders of the 'new' top row have their own css lines so that the borders could be #FFFFFF

cheers, Mike

Mike, for the article title showing in bold, try updating the css to include

.news-cell > a:first-child { font-weight: bold; }

The title is the very first anchor directly present in a news-cell class element.

I'm still looking at the other styling question.

Many thanks Cindy - worked a treat.

In which directory is that latestnews.png file (noting that it should be present in the template's /images sub-directory for use by the CSS)?

Hi Cindy - it is in /images folder - so I move it to my_template/images folder ........ then in includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/news_box_manager_defines.php I replaced the text 'Latest News' with <img src="includes/templates/westminster_new/images/latestnews.png" alt="latest news"> .... and all is good! So thank you.

I am now going to try to insert a smaller image in the NEWS_BOX_HEADING_TITLE row .... wish me luck

many thanks,
Mike

Hi Cindy - inserting an image in that row was easy enough (once I had the image in the right folder )

So I do not expect you to spend time on re-styling the layout of your plugin for me - putting me in the right direction will be helpful so that I can attempt to make some modifications myself (note that I said 'attempt') - it will help me to learn. So to that end if I want to negate the 'article dates' column altogether and instead include a date block within the article title row/line what files should I be looking at to make such modifications? essentially where can I modify the table layout?

again many thanks for your assistance,
cheers Mike

v 3.2.1

Not an issue, or a least not a big one.

I set in the admin profile for a limited admin access the [all types] to be accessed, but when going to tool > News Box Manager [all types] i get:

Sorry, your security clearance does not allow you to access this resource.
Please contact your site administrator if you believe this to be incorrect.
Sorry for any inconvenience.

If I select in the admin profile the type 1/2/3/4 they are accessable, yet the all types is not.
What am I missing?

Probably nothing. It'll take me a bit to research your issue.
