Hello.
When i make a widget with links to pages on my blog i can’t make any capitals in the text they are all small letters.
Like for instance the text now looks like donald duck and i want it to be Donald Duck, is there a reason for ? Can ik use capitals in some sort of way ?
Thanks for thinking with me.

Perhaps your theme doesn’t support caps? Give me a link to your blog ok.

Just to clarify: IS that a text widget? It looks like a Category widget to me. Those are hard-coded and if they don’t do capitals, they just won’t do them.

In an actual TEXT widget, the empty widget where you put the code and everything in by hand, you shouldn’t have any problem at all doing this.

Yes, raincoaster, it IS a text widget.
The underlying css has following formatting for list items in the sidebar (i.e.: all widgets):
```
#menu ul {
	color: #ccc;
	font-weight: bold;
	list-style-type: none;
	margin: 0;
	padding-left: 3px;
	text-transform: lowercase;
}
```
the cause of your problem is that “lowercase”.
If you have custom css you can simply overwrite this style with text-transform:none; otherwise, you’ll have to add the attribute:
style="text-transform: none;"
to each of your links in the text widget.

Thanks for your help, i understand why this happens now, i have to purchase the css upgrade to use these style options, even when i use it separately in the text widgets with the links the changes are not being executed.

You could just use a different theme. Not all of them do that.

boutje, no, you don’t have to purchase the css upgrade. Just use the style attribute as I explained at the end of my answer.

Hello Isadora, thank you for helping me out, but i guess i do something wrong then, i use the style attribute in the widget, but when i save i don’t see any changes in te widget and the command that i typed in the widget is gone when ik moderate the widget again. I guess i type the style command wrong ?
I dit it in a few different ways but i get the same result everything, no changes at all.

Edit your widget and insert following tag at the very beginning (before the first link):
<div style="text-transform:none;">
and following tag at the very end, after the last link:
</div>
It works fine, I just tested it with your widget content and your theme.

Hello Isodaro, thank you very much, the problem is solved now, ik think i made some typing errors with div the other times. Now i only have to type most of the text in the links again because i typed the most in small letters because the capitals did not work but that is no problem.
Thanks again.
