  Hello,
  The VodPod widget, while of essence to my blog http://dlmuch.wordpress.com/ adopted a weird behavior: It growed tall as a house pushing the other widgets down and out of sight.

  Not nice and certainly not good for functionality. Don’t know why this happened or how to fix it.

  Any ideas?

  Thanks
  Lex

  Lex, you can easily solve that by choosing a different style (our default style shows 5 videos, so as your collection grows to five videos or more, the widget will expand to be five videos tall).

  We have a “single video” button widget that just shows a thumbnail for the last video you collected. To select that instead:

  1. Open your wordpress dashboard

  2. Click “Presentation” and then “Widgets”

  3. Then click the configuration button for the Vodpod Videos widget, and select the “button” style widget if you just want a single video thumbnail to appear.

  Thank you. But that is not the case.

  The 5 videos height would be good for me. What happens is that the pod is displaying 2 videos at the moment (which is correct) but the bottom limit of it, where is says “see all videos > I collect with VodPod”, drops way low, leaving a big empty space between that and the videos. And pushing everything else down.

  This seems to be some kind of conflict with the posts, since the bottom of the pod tends to drop to just under the end of the lowest (oldest) post.

  I’m using the Kubrick theme, BTW.

  Ooooh, Kubrick looks good, but it has many glitches. Would it be at all possible for you to preview a different, but similar theme? Try it on Preview and see if that solves the problem.

  Thanks, I’m going to try that.

  So I tried similar themes, they have the same problem.

  Does this mean that VodPod is not compatible with several themes? Now I’m sad. I was really happy with the layout.

  Is there a way to work around this issue? Please help, VodPod people or regular people even.
