My search form is tweaked, please help.

    I’ve been struggling with my search form for days. I finally got it from the header into the sidebar. Then, I got the search area to have the same bg color as the sidebar. Finally, I added the text “search this blog,” but it’s all cut off and it looks like it’s actually sitting behind the search field.

    Does anyone know how to remedy this? girltrip.org

    Thanks,

  • This might be because you placed the search to early in your sidebar.php. it falls under the #sbnavigation but I think it needs to be below #subcontent as well.

    Hoefully then it will fall into ‘step’ with the Topics/Blogroll/Feeds style. Report back results…

    You should deal with those validation errors too: https://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.girltrip.org%2F

    Thanks! That did the trick. Well, it moved the search into the right spot in the sidebar. The text was still cut off but I managed to fix it by adjusting a line-height for #sbnavigation form in the CSS. Much appreciated.

    As for the validation, yeah I’ve been watching that. I am planning on validating everything after I get the page to look how I want it. I have a feeling it’s going to be a struggle, so maybe I’m just procrastinating but I’m pretty anal, so I will definitely get to it. I have to validate!

    Take a look here: WordPress Troubleshooting: I have to validate? Oh MY!!
