Reply To: Not replacing top search

[Ernest Marcinko]

Hi,

Thank you very much for the details, it helps a lot.

The search is integrated directly into the site header template, so it is not possible to automatically replace it. Since you shared FTP access, I logged in to check, and found that the header.php file in the theme directory contains the header search bar.
I have made a programatical replacement for you. I strongly suggest creating a child theme, and copying the header.php file there, so future theme updates don’t revert the changes back.

I also noticed that the positioning may require some changes to get the replaced container right. For that, I recommend using this custom CSS:

.et_search_outer .asp_m {
    width: 50% !important;
    position: absolute;
    right: 80px;
    top: 32px;
}

.asp_r_2 {
    z-index: 99999 !important;
}

This will adjust the search position a bit, but further adjusments might be required.
