Hi there,

Thank you so much for getting back to me. This problem has me beat!!

I’m referring to the Text widget in the sidebar with the title of “Popular Smoothie Recipes”. It’s showing two images in there, but there should be six. The reamaining four have somehow overflowed from the widget into the sidebar.

Never mind, I figured it all out and I’m now going to go bang my head against something hard. It was .home.

Sorry, it’s just occured to me that I’ve not been very clear. I’d like to have the post title appear on the excerpt, move the picture down, remove the comments link and style the container differently.

I’m getting the hang of css so I can probably figure out how to do these things on my own. What I can’t seem to figure out is which css command to use to isolate these particular “latest posts” elements.

Urg, hopefully that’s a little clearer than mud….

Hi Ilpegaso,

Hope you don’t mind me responding. I came to the forum because I’m having the same issue. It seems that the Yoast Team are aware of these issues and are working on a fix. You can see a few threads on this here:

Seems like a solutions might not be too far away. Hope that helps ??

Hi Cubecolour,

Thanks so much for responding. As a newbie, this is something that would never have occured to me.

I really appreciate you taking a look, that’s very kind of you. I’ll have a play around and see what I can figure out.

Thanks again,

Sharon

Oh, important to note. The theme I’m using is Graphene.

If you’re using a different theme your code may be different, so just have a look in your searchform.php and you’ll find it in there. Copy that code, then replace ‘Search by Ingredient, Recipe Name or Category’ with whatever you need it to be for your theme. Then put it all inside a child theme searchform.php ??

Hi DMBarber,

Thank you so much, I’m incredibly grateful. I used your simpler method and it’s worked a treat.

For anyone who has a search box inside a widget here is the full javascript code I used inside a child function searchform.php. This will allow you to change the text inside the search box, and the text will disappear when someone starts to type.

<form id="searchform" class="searchform" method="get" action="<?php echo get_home_url(); ?>">
    <p class="clearfix default_searchform">
	<input type="text" name="s" placeholder="Search by Ingredient, Recipe Name or Category" value=""
        	onblur="if (this.value == '') {this.value = '<?php _e('Search','graphene'); ?>';}"
            onfocus="if (this.value == '<?php _e('Search','graphene'); ?>') {this.value = '';}"
            value="<?php if ( $term = get_search_query() ) echo esc_attr( $term ); else _e( 'Search by Ingredient, Recipe Name or Category', 'graphene' ); ?>" />
        <button type="submit"><span><?php _e('Search', 'graphene'); ?></span></button>
    </p>
    <?php do_action('graphene_search_form'); ?>
</form>

Thanks again DMBarber ??
