Hi Dnosker,

the search widget not looking right in mobile brought up an issue we had not notice before.

Child theme stylesheet is loaded before plugins. This is an error in GD core and addons. Their stylesheet should be loaded before the child theme stylesheet.

There is also a wee problem in our avada child theme css:
```
#sliders-container .geodir-search input[type="text"],
#main .geodir-search input[type="text"] {
 margin: 0 3% 0 0;
 padding: 10px;
 width: 32.4%;
}
```
this is too specific it’s overriding the plugin media queries
```
.geodir-search input[type="text"],
#main .geodir-search input[type="text"] {
 margin: 0 3% 0 0;
 padding: 10px;
 width: 32.4%;
} 
```
We are correcting both things and we should release an update soon to fix this.

Thanks for your patience,

Hi Semperteneo,

I’m sorry about that 🙁 , I only hope it wasn’t one of us giving that info (or even me… which is possible).

Could you pls tell me where you found it? So I’ll make sure ppl aren’t misled by any wrong information… accidentally left in the forum?

Thx

Not a problem at all. I appreciate the ongoing support/development, which is what encouraged us to finally make the move to your system and pay for the subscription. Keep it up!

***Feel free to delete these posts should it help clean up the main thread topic discussion…

We really want GD to be the undisputed champ of the world of all directory softwares… 🙂

Thanks Paolo! That search thing really looked messed up…

Also, will your fixes make the buttons that were on the search look better? I mean they currently look like old standard form buttons for search and custom search right now. I see in other themes they look more modern like bootstrap buttons.

Hi,

the fix will make sure GD media queries will work correctly.

The search button being unstyled isn’t an oversight. Avada allows to edit colors, font-family and other css properties for buttons and allowing avada to also modify GD elements becomes very complex.

In such cases we decided to leave it unstyled so that site admins can style the button according to their Avada settings.

For example, to style the search button like the default avada button you need to add this in geodirectory >> design >> script >> Custom style css code
```
.geodir_submit_search {
-webkit-border-radius: 2px;
-moz-border-radius: 2px;
border-radius: 2px;
border-style: solid;
border-width: 0;
box-shadow: none;
text-shadow: none;
border-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8);
box-sizing: content-box;
display: inline-block;
font-weight: bold;
font-family: "PT Sans",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #a0ce4e;
color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8);
transition: all 0.2s ease 0s;
width: auto;
min-height: 23px;
padding: 0 20px;
text-align: center;
text-transform: uppercase;
float: none;
vertical-align: middle;
cursor: pointer;
}
```
if you change the color in avada settings, here you should manually change the background color to its new value for example…

Thx

Hi there,

Before I buy the Avada theme, I would just like to check that I can pull GD content into the sliders, and also show listings in the grid format.

Thanks

Listings will not be shown using Avada’s grid system, but GeoDirectory does have it’s own options to show listings in either list or column format.

Hi Nicolalucie,

the avada child theme only allows to use GeoDirectory with Avada, by adapting the GD templates to the layout of the Avada template.

It doesn’t add integration for sliders or the Avada page builder.

Thx

@john @paolo Thanks – so in theory I can style it however I choose and this will be reflected in the pages of GD, however I cannot integrate GD content into Avada’s features and widgets.

So I have done a clean wordpress install with the GD child and parent avada theme but the map and search bar are not showing. GD homepage and top section are both checked, and they are both in the top GD widget and the reading is set to show latest blog post…..any ideas?

Thanks
