OK, no replies here, but got some help on Zeak’s blog, if anyone comes across this wanting to do the same thing as me, see the comments there.

It involved giving #main a negative top margin in the CSS.

Great! that worked, I can’t even remember why I’d put that into the css, but taking it out has sorted the issue.

Thank you both very much for taking a look.

Hi, thanks for getting back. I did follow the Third step, adding your code to the functions.php file. I’ve just pasted your css code from the Fourth step into my stylesheet too to see if that helps, but no change. What was under PS didn’t seem to apply so I haven’t followed that.

Any ideas?

Update:
I gave my log in details to a colleague on another internet connection and he managed to access the dashboard. The plugin is disabled but I still cannot get to the dashboard on my connection. Testing this by connecting my computer to another network, I can log in, but on this connection (at my office, where I need to do most of my work on the site) I can’t get in. Plug in is disabled now.

Any ideas?

OK, ignore my post above… I found out what the problem was and now I feel really silly, but at least it works now. The whole time I’d been pasting the html code below the text I wanted to wrap around it, but after spending ages searching for an answer and posting this, I tried pasting the form code above my text and it wraps perfectly.

I hope this works for you Jill. Then at least I’ll have helped somone out instead of just embarrassing myself.

Best,
Kitty

Hi Jill, just wondering if you had any luck with this… I’m having the same problem with a form from Vertical Response. VR provided the html code (included below) which I pasted into the html editor for my page. I added float: right into the div style which sent it to the right, but it still sits below the text rather than alongside… wasting space like you say.

If anyone else knows how to get this to work please get in touch. Unfortunately I can’t share a URL to my site as it’s not online yet, but let me know what other info to provide.

Cheers,

Kitty

Hi Alan, It looks like you’ve already solved this from your site, but I am completely new to anything to do with web design and was very proud of myself when I worked out how to do this last night. Before I’d worked this out and was searching for an answer I came across your post and was annoyed that it wasn’t answered, so thought I’d post what worked for me.

In my child theme to Twenty Eleven, I added the following to the stylesheet:

#branding .only-search #searchform {
	top: 287px;
	z-index: 1;
}

I played around with the pixel values until it sat exactly where I wanted it. If someone who knows what they’re doing sees this and it’s not the best way of doing it please let me know.

Hope your site’s coming along alright, I love Borrowdale too!
