Argh.. Got it, by sheer fluke! The code for my theme needed to be slightly different to the suggested code above. This works:

div{
text-align:center;
}

Coding kills me.

Thanks so much Nithin. I don’t suppose you could forward me to a link or similar that might give me an idea or example of what you mean here? It’s a little beyond my current abilities, but I’m sure I could get it if I saw a rough idea somewhere?

Thanks SO Much,
Stu

Thanks Kasia. On a side note, is the Hustle plugin your best one for social sharing? I tried it just now – it’s great, but I can only find around 20 social platforms listed in the form to plug into it – lots missing at this stage, is that right, or have I just not seen how to add more than the ones presented? I was hoping to integrate a few more, including most importantly an SMS option I’ve seen in other share plugins. Is this possible, do you think?

Scratch that – I think I worked it out! ?? Thanks guys for all your help.. Amazing!

Omg. Patrick – thank you so much – you are a Godsend! That looks astounding and has solved so much for me.. thank you!, the only thing I can’t figure out is why the left drop down menu with the 4 options makes the check now button disappear if you select option 3 or 4.. Options 1 and 2 work fine though. Might you have any thoughts on what would be causing the check now button to disappear?

Adam, I’m so impressed by your help so far.. really, thanks very much. I can’t get the submit button to sit at the right end of the first line after the other three boxes.. this seems to be a bigger issue than just resizingthe boxes evenly. As you’ve mentioned you’ve tested this 4 element layout on a single line on your site and it seems to be working fine, is it possible to send me a screenshot of yours, or even the code you’re using on it so I can cheat a little and work out by elimination where mine’s not working correctly?

Thanks Kasia. I’ve just now done as you ask. I hope you can figure out why it’s not right. I’m having no luck! ??

Hi Guys,

Sorry for the delay in replying.. Coronavirus obliterating things for us atm. No – I’m afraid this code hasn’t resolved the centering and box sizes etc for me, no surprise though as I’m a bit of a n0ob to all this stuff. I’ve tried quite a few variations of your code and I’m yet to have it cetnre and look right. I’m at the point where I think I might need to look at other alternatives, or hire someone, which I can’t afford. Thank you for your replies. Any suggs of course I’m all ears! ??

Did this help, Adam?

I’m awfully sorry.. I hope this is right?:

Thanks very much Adam. Days on and I still can’t figure this out, and I’d really appreciate your assistance as I can’t move forward til I get this working correctly. I’m not sure how to send you the form’s exported code, so I hope it’s okay to paste it here.. I can’t find a PM thing to message you anywhere..!:

Hey Adam! Thanks a lot for replying and I’m sorry to be a pest. I get all what you’re saying (sort of), but this is just defeating me – I’ve been a whole week now in Google Elements just trying to thrash out a way to make all those 4 boxes space evenly across that one row, and I’m no closer to when I started. I’m adjusting all sorts of pixel numbers for paddings and margins and div sizes.. I’m a rank beginner, but I’m almost sure people who know how to do this don’t bother with any of that microsurgery or maths calculations to work out the box sizes and spaces in between to spread evenly across the 890px wide div. Is there a simple way to slightly indent the line on both ends, and make the three boxes (say) 180px or 200px wide, with a smaller (say 140px) wide search button on the end, all spaced apart by say 30 or 40px? I’d really appreciate anything you can offer.

Sorry mate, I just updated the app by .1v and it’s now made the boxes go all weird. Can you tell me what’s happening there, I’m meant to update?

Argh.. Darn it – that media query thing really does my head in – but I’m slowly learning. But fantastic, thanks so much Adam.. I’ll insert the above CSS code and try and make that work with some amateur fumbling.. With regard to making it all mobile responsive with that media thingy though, would the below be all I need to add to your above code, or am I way off? I seem to be getting errors just adding it on its own – perhaps as that exact code is already in the extra css area for another unrelated command? Think I’d be better off studying Latin at this point.. ?? :

@media only screen and (max-width: 800px)

Adam.. you’re an utter superstar. Thank you so much for a) comprehending what I wanted correctly, and b) bothering to help me! I am so impressed. I’ve spent days on this and made no progress, so thank you so much. Could I just query you on a couple of other things though?

I’m currently trying to place the search button at the far right of the three boxes, instead of below them, which I can’t figure out how to do. And I also need to resize the three boxes to be a uniform size across the page (say 180px each with a 30px side padding?!), and place the search button beside them then, so 4 items in a single row. I’ve wasted three days on this but I can’t seem to make the three boxes identically sized and spaced, with a search button on the right hand end. Is it purely a css issue? I attempt it in Google Elements but I can’t figure it all out. Is it complex somehow, or am I just as thick as hospital crockery? ??
