  Hi guys.
  So i’m trying to implement a search form in the slider. I’m getting there, but when i search something it just takes me to the 404 page not found page 🙂

  This is the code i used to display the search field:

  <form method=”get” id=”searchform” action=”<?php bloginfo(‘home’); ?>/”>
  <div><input type=”text” size=”put_a_size_here” name=”s” id=”s” value=”Write your search and hit Enter” onfocus=”if(this.value==this.defaultValue)this.value=”;” onblur=”if(this.value==”)this.value=this.defaultValue;”/>
  <input type=”submit” id=”searchsubmit” value=”Search” class=”btn” />
  </div>
  </form>

  I know the code is at least 4 years old, so i don’t know if that has something to do with it 🙂
  Or maybe I have to activate the search somewhere? 🙂

  Thanks

  Figured it out. Just used the search form from the Page Builder 🙂 Works like a charm.

  But if it’s easy to explain i would love to know why the other solution don’t work? 🙂

  Hi

  You can’t just add php when not using a php file

  Oh okay 🙂 I new to the whole php thing 🙂

  Maybe you can help me style the text inside the search field before you type in your search words.
  It says “.search” but it is displayed in the top of the searchfield and in grey. And when i try to style it i can only style the text the user types in, and now the “.search” text 🙂

  Image one: before typing (what i need to style to fit the “search” behind it)
  Image two: When user types, it looks great.

  When i use padding to try and place the “.search” properly, i just push down the input field (user text) instead.

  And is there a way to make the searchfield reset when the page is changed. So that when you return to the frontpage, the previous searchword is not displayed.

  Try adding this to your custom css:

  .search-widget input.input-large {
  line-height: 47px!important;
  }
