Scroll Bar for Blogs on Home Page / Profile Pages

Scrollable Blogs / Scroll Through Blogs On Home Page / Profile Pages

This tweak will add a vertical scroll bar to your Blogs module on the home page. If you only have 3-5 postings selected, the bar may not show up with 500 height. You can adjust the height to suit your preference.

Add this CSS to Manage/Appearance/Advanced CSS, at bottom.

/* Scroll Bar for Blogs */
.xg_widget_main .module_blog .xg_module_body {height: 500px;overflow : auto;position:relative;}

To scroll your Blogs on Member Profiles too, just remove the main page class, like this:
.module_blog .xg_module_body {height: 500px;overflow : auto;position:relative;}

I thought I had already added this tip, but couldn't find it.

Hi Robert,
Did you change the height?
Happy Friday!

Hi Robert,
I just checked your site. Apparently there is some type of error at bottom of your CSS, like a missing } or something like that. If you add to top of CSS, it will probably work.

This worked for me, but only when I added to top:
.xg_widget_main .module_blog .xg_module_body {height: 200px;overflow : auto;position:relative;}

Best,
Jen
