not resolvedHi,
I've noticed I'm not the only one with this issue. I suspect one of my widgets is conflicting with the search plugin. On my site (www.mymuaythai.com) the search box is still usable, however all of the nice formatting of the original design has been lost.
Does anyone know how I can fix this?
Many thanks,
Nopstar
I'd like to add that I am also having trouble with the 'search_box' formatting on my installation of Cutline:
This is what I did when I couldn't get the SEARCH widget to display formatting. I stole the code from "searchform.php" in Theme Editor and copied it as a text widget. Bam! Search form and formatted correctly but with one problem... instead of taking me to search results, the form takes me to a 404 page. Help thanks :)
Me too, Vincenzo, and I had thought I was being so clever! I'd love to have a lovely widgety search box that looks consistent with the rest of the sidebar styling.
Bump.. anybody?
For the search widget, a quick fix here:
on line 316 in your CSS (standard , change
#search_form { }
into
ul.sidebar_list li.widget .widget_search #search_form { }
repeat this on line 318, 320 and 322 everytime (change #search_form in to ul.sidebar_list li.widget .widget_search #search_form { })
(Warning : I haven't tested this as I have no install with widgets right at the moment)
Tried that, didn't change anything. If it helps, I'm using the Cutline 3-column split variation.
Didn't work with my one sidebar version either.
I found it.
In your CSS file (style.css) look for
#search_form { } (around line 316)
and replace this with
#searchform { }
On the following line, replace
#search_form .search_input
with
#s
On the last line of the CSS, replace
#search_form .search_input:focus
with
#s:focus
That should do it.
So it's made the search box the correct size, however it still doesn't say " To search, type and hit enter"
I upgraded to 2.0 and there is no search box.
Also, there is something screwy with the spacing & alignment. If you look at my site, http://www.hopefulspirit.com, you will see that where I have graphics and text centered, some of it is bleeding into the left of the post. I did not change any posts . . . just uploaded 2.0. Also, the graphic for "Share This" has disappeared and it is not lining up correctly.
All of these things were just fine in the prior version of the theme.
I'm going to leave 2.0 in place overnight in case anyone reads this and can assist. Then I'll have to revert to the prior version in the morning.
Thanks.
This fix changes the size of the text box for the search for me; however, like nopstar, I don't have "To search, type and hit enter" and I also don't have the pretty, styled "SEARCH IT!" title.
Here's what I did to get it working. Edit sidebar.php. Move this code block...
<li class="widget">
<h2>Search It!</h2>
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/searchform.php'); ?>
</li>...above this line...
<?php if (!function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar()) : ?>
Then remove the Search widget from the sidebar arrangement.
Note: I did not make any of the css changes mentioned above.
