Modifying Search Form

    Good afternoon! I love this plugin and have made a number of modifications so far. What I can’t figure out is how to modify some aspects of the search form. To be specific, I’d like to do the following:

    1. Put the two main search fields (“Search” and “Geolocation Search”, as described in the Settings > Formatting > Search Form section) next to each other (instead of one being directly above the other).

    2. Changing the search button on the right-hand side of the search form (e.g., making it a different color, a different button, a text link/button vs. a picture button, etc.).

    Basically, it would be nice if the search form could look something like this (https://i.imgur.com/34nrPqv.png) – edited in Photoshop to give you a sense of what I’d like the final search form to look like with those two modifications applied.

    Thank you in advance for your help!

  • Hi,

    Glad you’re enjoying the plugin.

    By default the Events Manager search option looks exactly like your screenshot. If it’s not looking that way on your site, it could be a theme issue.

    Good morning,

    Hmmm. Here’s the webpage so you can see what’s happening with the formatting:
    https://prelicensed.com/events/

    If I wanted to try modifying the search form so it looks the way I want it to with my current theme, how would I go about doing that? “Plugins > Editor”? Which plugin file?

    Thanks in advance!

    The placeholder CONTENTS that’s displaying on the page means that page hasn’t been set as the Events page under Events > Settings > Pages > Events List/Archive.

    It’s not recommenced to edit plugin files directly because when the plugin upgrades changes will be lost. The changes you want to make can probably be done by adding additional rules to the style.css file of your theme.
