The final layout you have have provided is EXACTLY what I’m after, however I couldn’t get this layout to work in mobile view.

The only way I could get all 3 settings boxes visible in mobile view was to place them in one column, so they appear stacked (which looks great on mobile, but a little bit odd on desktop).

When they are in a row – like the layout you have provided – they get pushed out of view on mobile view. This may be because I am using DIVI, I’m not too sure why it wouldn’t break down properly.

If there is any way I can style the block like your final layout (and it work in mobile view) I will be absolutely thrilled.

I am not having any luck applying the css. I have tried pasting it individually in:
AJAX search pro > theme options > custom CSS
DIVI module > Advanced > custom CSS
DIVI page settings > custom CSS

Thank you so much for your advice!

Thank you so much. I figured the plugin was pulling the first text on the page – which is where I got confused and thought the categories were being displayed. I added excerpts to the problem posts and so it now shows the except text in the results, instead of all the title text etc.

I have two other questions though.

On my homepage I have the search working perfectly on both desktop and mobile view! I can’t even begin to tell you how much I love this plugin!!!! There are just two small tweaks that I can’t figure out…

I can’t seem to align the settings to the right of the search box, instead of the left (even though I’m sure I’ve done it in the past). Can you please let me know if this is possible and how to achieve it?

The second query I have is to do with the appearance. In Firezox the settings bars have a gradient effect, where as in Firefox it appears as a solid black square. Is it possible to change those settings boxes so that they have a black 1px border, transparent/white box and black text – or to match the search bar?

Thank you so much for your help!

Thank you so much for your reply.

I tried copying tat CSS into several places but haven’t had any luck unfortunately. My client is not liking the small, thin black settings boxes at all 🙁

I pasted the theme into the css box in the plugin; into my theme custom css; into the page I am trying to achieve the styling… and I haven’t had luck.

I seem to be able to style the search box with the themes, however the settings boxes won’t change at all.

One other thing. Can I increase the height of the Drop down column? In one column I have listed the days of the week however Sunday is being cut off and I need to scroll down to see it.

I look forward to your advice.

Thank you so much for your reply.

I seem to be getting further away from what I’m trying to achieve, the more I fiddle with the settings.

I’ve contacted WP Kraken for a quote however I think they may be taking a 3 day break for a public holiday and my client is pretty disappointed in me, so I’m grasping at straws.

I am trying to achieve a filterable search like the one on this page: https://www.waituk.com/entrada/modern/home/zoom/

I feel like it’s definitely achievable with your plugin, it just may need a little css styling? Is this correct? Or are there settings within the plugin where I can change or do I need a guru?
I’m having trouble with the following:
1. Changing the background of the search settings to white and text to black (changes to these in ‘theme options: drop down’ don’t take effect).
2. Can I change the spacing between the search settings boxes?
3. I’m so sorry, but can you please tell me which setting to change so that all three fields need to be selected before results appear? At present, as soon as one dropdown menu is selected the search results appear.
4. I need the search results to appear in a new tab. I have had a play around with the provided short codes but can’t get anything to work except the quick shortcode. For example, when I paste the folling: [wpdreams_asp_settings id=1 element='div']
nothing appears on the published page. Can you please tell me how to achieve the settings boxes only?

I’m so sorry about this. The more I mess with the settings, the more I chew hours of time getting nothing done.

I look forward to hearing from you.
