2 products on a row in Whats new?

[jagge]

Hi!
I just installed thecontribution Whats new 2 but I would like the products to appear on the same row and not underneath each other.
Can someone please help me with this one?
Below is the code I think it would be in.

best regards,
Ola

You shouldn't have to adjust anything there to get two side by side. In "configuration", "index listing", what do you have set for:
New Products Columns per Row

Hi,
it was set to 3. I tried to set it to 2 but nothing happened?
This is the other file that followed the contribution.

Oh, sorry I've been misunderstanding. I didn't realize these were sideboxes. You want them side by side in the sideboxes? Can I see a link? It probably can be adjusted in the css.

Hi!
Sorry, forgot the link.

Add this to your stylesheet:

.whatsNew2 {float:left; padding:.5em}


then update the first file you pasted to this:
