Can’t get search bar to show up

Hi @jjburton,

mmmm it looks like you may have custom CSS which is hiding the filter from showing. I can see you have this CSS rule implemented:

.ideapush-container-idea-header {
display:none;
}

and this is hiding the header area. Please see this screenshot here: https://imgur.com/a/nx90vQJ

That looks like it would do it. Any idea where that would be?

I’m not seeing that line on:
-ideaPush design custom css
– or wordpress appearance css browser
– forun – additional css

Any idea where that rule would be implemented?

Is there a call to force it two show with the important flag you use on your setup? Sorry not well versed in css (python coder here) .

Found it. Is that a default option? I can’t imagine my web guys would have added it.

Hi,

This code is something you would have put in. The location you are pointing to sounds like custom CSS provided by your theme, so it would be highly unlikely anyone else would have the same issue. Thanks,

In our FAQ section we provide advice on how to separate the idea form and the idea board (I personally don’t see the merit in doing this but some people have asked how to do this) and to achieve this it does mean implementing the CSS rule .ideapush-container-idea-header {display: none;} So this is maybe what you were doing. But as mentioned in the FAQ you need to put this CSS code on the actual page not in your theme CSS or some other area which applies the CSS to your entire site.

Thanks, is there a flag for making the search bar items stretch across, they’re rather truncated on my page.

Or perhaps is there a flag for dropdown menu’s somewhere?

I think you are referring to the filter dropdowns/selects in the header. We have some code which tries to automatically resize these but it may not be working on your site for whatever reason. Unfortunately there’s actually no standard to make the width of selects and dropdowns the width of the selected item – which is bizarre but true. So what you can do is use the following CSS:

.ideapush-idea-filter select {
width: auto !important;
}

To at least make these a usable width. You will see that there will be white space depending on the item selected and this is because of the issue I just mentioned but it will be better than how it is now.

Got something decent thanks to your help. Thank you so much! Super excited to use this for our site. Much better than what we’d been playing with before.

Great to hear, I hope you enjoy the plugin ??
