    I am hoping you can help. I added the PA Knowledge Base plugin and it appears the style is being pulled from enfold CSS. I included the URL to my test page in private comments and I would like to get it to match the demo for the plugin. The plugin does have a custom CSS area in the settings, however I don’t know what needs to go there to match. Any help at all would be appreciated!

    Here is the PA demo site that I would like to mimic http://demo3.pressapps.co/knowledge-base/?preview

    Thank you,

    There really aren’t many knowledge base plugins out there is seems. I’ve been playing around with the demo on this, and might try it myself. How many issues are you seeing with it in Enfold? If possible can you folks detail any fixes on the thread as I might give this one a try myself tomorrow.

    Hey!

    From what I have checked, the only part that creates and actual issue is the Search Box.

    It has a search button with an id of “searchsubmit”.

    The remainder of the CSS integrates pretty well with Enfold. A few minor tweeks are required perhaps.

    I believe that for complete integration, occurances of “searchsubmit” should be replaced with something else across all files in the plugin.

    Cheers!

    That sounds like an upgrade nightmare, isn’t it possible to override the CSS?

    Hey Arvish,

    Thank you for the reply. Let me start by saying I am not very proficient with CSS so I am not sure if I am doing this right. The problem I am seeing is that I would like to use the style from the plugin demo, however simply putting that CSS in the custom area does not seem to do the trick. The other issue is that I don’t seem to have any control over the position of the elements on the kb page. For example, if I direct my kb to a page that has a color section at the top, the search and kb articles do not even show up. It is like they are behind the color section.

    I realize this may be less of a kriesi issue and more related to the plugin, but you guys have always had the best support of any theme and I thought I’d put it out there to see if you had any suggestion.

    Sandie, you are right in that there are not many knowledge base plugins out there and it would be such a great value if Enfold had one that fit seamlessly with the theme.

    Thanks for the great theme and any suggestion you can offer!!

    @brentd99 I dropped the following into my style.css 

    #kbsearchform #searchsubmit {
	height: 50px;
	width: 200px;
}

.knowledgebase-search {
	width: 100%;
}

    I wasn’t looking to match the demo, just make it work with my site and this is a little more in keeping with the Enfold search styling that the demo is. So it may not suit your need, but if I decide to use the plugin I’ll probably look into changing it a bit more. I’ll try to remember to post back here.

    I’m giving up on this plugin, it just feels far too limited. I might have to stick with an off-site solution until I find more time to figure out a different solution.

    Thanks @Sandy! Your CSS tip at least fixed the search input and button.
