Hi,

I have just installed the theme and am having problems with the search bar; https://www.ordinarygamer.co.uk/

When pressed, the drop down search bar that appears shows off screen on the left hand side rather than under the magnifying glass.

Any ideas?

(please ignore all the missing images, it’s in dev – just taken from maintenance so you can all see and look at the code etc)

Thanks

Hello,
Please try to disable all your plugins except visual composer, clear your cache and purge cdn files if you use it in order to rule out a plugin conflict. Also if you have any custom css modifications, make sure they do not affect the search widget and check to see if all tags are closed correctly. This problem can easily be fixed with css as it has an absolute positioning. you can add this code to re-position it if you want:
.header-search-wrap .td-drop-down-search{
left: 680px;
}
But finding the root of the problem is more important than coming up with a workaround.
Thank you!

Thank you – I did try disabling all plugins, but Cloudflair must have been caching it.

Turns out it was the PeepSo plugin causing problems; https://www.peepso.com/ not sure why, but have disabled it now

thanks again
