Thank You! I used the last two lines of script and it is accomplishing exactly what I wanted.

Thanks for the feedback Paul!

The sidebar widgets are actually opened/closed via jQuery. In the "scripts.js" file, towards the bottom, locate the following...

jQuery("#sidebar .widget:nth-child(1)").children(".widgetcontent").slideDown("slow");

Where it says ".widget:nth-child(1)" means the first widget is opened. You can change the number to "2" and it will open the second widget instead.

You can also replace it with ".widget:lt(3)" which changes it to open the first 3 widgets and would look like this...

jQuery("#sidebar .widget:lt(3)").children(".widgetcontent").slideDown("slow");

NOTE: regardless of how many widgets you open up, clicking another widget to reveal it's contents will also close ALL other widgets that are open. To keep other widgets from closing, remove the following line...

jQuery(this).parent().siblings(".widget").children(".widgetcontent").slideUp();

Hi there,

Thank you Chris for making such a fantastic themes! I've had fun setting it up and it for the most part seems pretty straight forward.

I'm wondering what code do I use in the css stylesheet sidebar section to allow certain widgets to be opened in the sidebar, instead of just the first one.

Thanks!
Paul
