Wordpress Themes - WP Forum at BFA
There will be no more development for Atahualpa (or any other theme), and no support. Also no new registrations. I turned off the donation system. I may turn the forum to read only if it gets abused for spam. Unfortunately I have no time for the forum or the themes. Thanks a lot to the people who helped in all these years, especially Larry and of course: Paul. Take care and stay healthy -- Flynn, Atahualpa developer, Sep 2021

I'm unable to find howto make the text inside the search box, and the search box, a little bit larger. Is it possible?

I've tried adding "font-size: 1.2em;" in Style & edit HEADER AREA -> Search Box. But it didn't do any difference.

from 'So..you have a problem and need some help...'
Quote:
4 - Provide the version number of Atahualpa and WP you are running - saying 'I'm using the latest version' is useless, what if a new vrsion came out earlier today or you only think you are using the latest version. Besides, six months from now that statement won't help someone else looking for an answer.

5 - Provide the URL! - if there is a problem on a particular page - name the page!!

are we talking about the search box in the header area or in a sidebar widget?

In the header. I've just started laborating with this theme and don't have any other widgets than the default ones.

Hi all, I've included a Search box in a sidebar widget, Atahualpa 3.4.9, but I would like to make the Search box wider and remove the magnify glass image/icon. Would anyone know how I can remove that image and make the Search field wider (if just removing the image doesnt do it)?

What I do is determine the CSS selector with Firebug then use CSS to style the box with width and height. For the magnifying glass you would determine the selector and use display:none to hide the image.

Thanks Larry.
For others - I did that, found style="display: block; in searchform.php and changed it to "display: none; and removed some padding while I was there. Fixered

It is better to use CSS in ATO>Add HTML/CSS Inserts>CSS Inserts to make those changes as changes to searchform.php will not hold if you upgrade the theme. For example the selector for the magnifying glass is .searchbutton so to hide it you would use.
HTML Code:
.searchbutton {
display: none;
}
The width of the search box should expand to fit the sidebar.
