Thanks for the help with that @guenni007. That worked great and he search is showing up now, only it’s over top of the secondary menu and not displaying right after it. But I’ll have a look at that to see what may be causing it.
I’m still going to look at replacing the magnifying glass to keep things consistent with the design I have been provided by our client.
Hi Ismael,
I’m assuming you are referring to the WordPress admin/dashboard login? If so, I reset the password and included it below.Hi Ismael,
It looks like that didn’t work. I set-up a login for you and the details are in the private info.Thanks Ismael. The broken code isn’t displaying now. But instead of the search displaying, I only see an extra I after the language switcher link. See the yellow highlighted area in this screenshot:
I included the URL for the website in the private info if you want to have a look at it in your browser.Thanks Ismael. Am I correct to assume I need to check off “Append search icon to main menu” after adding the code? If so, I did that but this code is displaying now in the header:
a href=”?s=” rel=”nofollow”>
Just in case this make a difference, there is a WPML language switcher link right after the secondary menu and it’s right after that where I need to add the search.
Is it also possible to display the actual search field/button instead of just the search icon? See below:
Hi Ismael,
In the WP dashboard of the website, the full piece of code for the form is under “XYZ PHP Code” > “PHP Code Snippets”. There are four code snippets there and “Job-Application” is the one for the English version of the form. If you click the pencil icon in the “Action” column, you will be able to view the actual code. I copied/pasted as you requested as well. The URL is in the private data. The form was coded by one of our developers. It works fine when tested on it’s own, but we are having this issue when we place it in the page in the actual website using WordPress. It had worked previously in the website.Thanks Vinay. I wasn’t able to access the dashboard to disable the plugins and opted to try deleting the theme folder and uploading the 4.4 version/copy of the theme. That seemed to do the trick.
Thanks Rikard. That worked. However, I can’t seem to change the color of the text on the mouse over, just the background color. Here’s the code I am using:
#menu-item-1638:hover { color: #fff !important; background-color: #002A46 !important; }Hi Mike,
That changes the mouse-over on the menu item for the page you are on. But what I actually need to do is specify the mouse-over for each menu item. Not just for the current menu item. I also only need to apply this to the menu in the side bar. The CSS you provided applied the change to the side bar menu as well as the menus in the footer widget area. Is there a way to make the change I need to just the side bar menu?
Thanks!Hi Rikard,
I had a look under those settings and it looks like there are only options to modify the main menu and not the secondary/left column menu. Is there an option for that I am not seeing that you can provide me?
Thanks.I spoke to our host and after they restarted the server, things were fixed. All is good now. Thanks!
Thanks for the reply Mike. I’m going to hold off on going further with this for now. It has taken quite a bit of time and I need our client to give us the go ahead to continue. If I get that, I’ll follow-up with the info you requested. Thanks again.
Thanks Victoria. I made the updates as shown in the post you referred me to, however I still am getting a sever error when I try to import the posts.
The import tool now says the max size you can import is 100 MB and previously it said 64 MB. So that did change. The .xml file I am trying to import is 20.6 MB.
Hi Jordan,
I was able to figure out the issue. The elements on the page below the drop down were going over top of it. So adding this fixed the issue:#av_section_3, #after_section_3, #after_section_2 { position: relative; z-index: 0 !important; }Hi Jordan,
Yes, that’s what I’m referring to. Here’s the code:<div class="dropdown"> <span><strong>Filter By:</strong></span> <div class="dropdown-content"> <p><a href="/blog/arts-culture/">Arts & Culture</a></p> <p><a href="/blog/attractions/">Attractions</a></p> <p><a href="/blog/eat-drink/">Eat & Drink</a></p> <p><a href="/blog/entertainment-music/">Entertainment & Music</a></p> <p><a href="/blog/outdoor/">Outdoor</a></p> <p><a href="/blog/shopping/">Shopping</a></p> </div> </div>And here is the CSS:
.dropdown { position: relative; display: inline-block; } .dropdown strong { color: #fff !important; text-transform: uppercase; background-color: #00548B; padding: 15px 30px; } .dropdown-content { display: none; position: absolute; background-color: #f9f9f9; width: 200px; box-shadow: 0px 8px 16px 0px rgba(0,0,0,0.2); padding: 12px 16px; margin-top: 15px; z-index: 1; } .dropdown:hover .dropdown-content { display: block; }That’s actually what I ended up doing in two links I sent on December 5th. But it looks like something in the theme is preventing you from mousing over or selecting the links in the drop-down. So I was hoping you might know what is causing that.
Hi Jordan,
Sorry for not getting back to you. I had posted a reply, but it looks like something happened to it and I don’t see it here now. Anyway, yes I think you are on the right track. Like options in a form or a pull-down like what you would see in the blog to select different categories. A good example would be if you went to appearance > widgets and added the “A list or dropdown of categories” widget to the sidebar in the website or created a new widget with that. But I want to link to pages in the dropdown, not categories. I hope that helps.Hi Jordan,
All I did was add a code block on the first page with a couple divs and the text that appears on the mousover and items that appear below it. On the second page that uses a blank template I just copied and pasted the html into the WordPress editor under the “Text” tab without activating the Avia Layout Builder.Login info is below in the private info.
Thanks!
I created a test page that is uses a blank template with no header/footer and put the code for the drop-down on it and it seems to work fine. See the link below. It’s not using the Avia Layout Builder.
Thanks for the link Jordan. I have actually tried that, but when I create a new menu/widget and add it to a page it displays as a list style menu, not a drop-down. Is there a way to get it to display as a drop-down?
I did manually create something (see the link in the private info). But I can’t select the links in the menu below the “Filter By:” text. It seems like something else on the page from the theme is overriding it. Any ideas why that is happening or how to fix it?
Hi Ismael,
In a couple code block areas, yes there was some html. But I checked to make sure there weren’t any close tags missing and it didn’t appear that was an issue. After I rebuilt the parts of the page that were missing, things seem to be okay now. So I think we might as well not look further into things unless it happens again.Thanks for the follow-up.
Hi Basilis,
While I was waiting for a reply/someone to review the issue, I tried adding some of the containers back into the home page on the copy of the website I sent you to see if they would stay on the page. So that is why you can see the things I previously said had disappeared off the page. As I mentioned before, it was the containers/elements below the “What kind of event or festival are you looking for?” section that were having issues. So feel free to try editing the page, the items below that or adding some new containers to see what happens.I have a separate copy of the website I am working on that uses the domain for the website, but only I can see that since I have the IP for the development server where it’s hosted added to my .hosts file. I have continued to work on that copy of the website and rebuilt the home page. So far it has worked okay and I haven’t had the issue happen again. I’m hoping there was just something in one of those containers that was causing the issue and I eliminated that when I rebuilt things.
