    Hi, could you give me a little help please? I’m a first time Ajax Search lite user and it’s doing a great job, but I have an issue. I have the shortcode installed in the page content on my website home page where it’s working fine. however, I also have it installed in a widget at the top of the page. The search field is shown, but it isn’t possible to enter any search text. Any ideas what might be causing this?

    Here’s the site url: https://penderlaw.co.uk/

    And link to debug data: https://paste.ee/p/pdlPY

    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Hi Ken,

    Sure! It’s because the header widget area container is set to an absolute position. If you try to for example select the telephone number or the email, it’s not possible because there is an overlapping element above them.
    This custom CSS will resolve that and will also make the search input working again:

    #gk-header-widget .widget_text {
        z-index: 10;
    }

    All the best,
    Ernest
