    Hi,

    Great widget and really can’t wait to start using it. I have a couple questions:

    #1: Somewhere along the way the search button moved from the right side to the left side. Can I move it back to the right? And how can I manipulate the size of the box so that it’s not so large?

    #2: How do I change the layout of the “customize my search” dropdown? Everything is so far apart.

    #3: Is there another dropdown for “Near Me”? This one is a little confusing to use. I prefer the check box option.

    Thank you!

    Hi,

    1) we need a link, images can’t be inspeted. What theme are you using?

    2) same as number 1.

    3) There is no option to change the near field with check boxes, I’m sorry.

    Let us know,

    Thanks

    Hi,

    1) This is a bug caused by the latest update. We wil release an update very soon to fix it.

    2) This css should be a good starting point:

    

    .geodir-filter-cat {
    float: left;
    margin-right: 2%;
    min-height: 200px;
    text-align: left;
    width: 23%;
}
    

    Thanks

    Thanks Paolo. It’s amazing how you come up with these css codes so easily. Well, I added your css to my functions.php and uploaded it. I’m new to this so of course it didn’t work for me. Please look at my attachment. I kind of just popped it in at the top. 🙂
    

    Also, can we change the words “customize my search” to something shorter like “Filter” or “Refine”?  Thanks.

    Hi,
    

    css can only be added to css files, not php files.
    

    Please add it to GeoDirectory >> Design >> Scripts >> Custom CSS.
    

    You can change the “customize my filter” text string via translation file: 
    

    http://docs.wpgeodirectory.com/translate-core/
    

    In this case the string can be found in the advance search filters add-on.
    

    https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/translating-addons/
    

    Thanks

    Hi Paolo,
    

    I’ve upgraded Poedit and ready to translate some words. I’m using the Geo 1280 Theme and cannot locate the language folder in either Genesis or Geo 1280 folder. There’s a powerpoint file under Genesis language folder. (attached)
    

    Is it because I installed the theme through wordpress instead of FTP?
    

    Thanks.

    Hi,
    

    that is not a powerpoint file. That is a pot file which is used for translations. Download it on your desktop and open it with poedit.
    

    Thanks

    Hi,
    

    Thanks. I was able to open the Genesis pot file with Poedit but I couldn’t locate “Customize My Search”.  I also tried looking for it under Geodirectory framework language po file but nothing there.

    Hi,
    

    I’ve already told you in my previous reply about the string customize my search:
    

    In this case the string can be found in the advance search filters add-on.
    

    Thanks

    Thanks for teaching me about translating, Paolo.  I was able to make the changes. 
    

    How can I make the black box smaller?  Thank you.

    Hi,
    

    With this css:
    

    button, input[type="button"], input[type="reset"], input[type="submit"], .button {padding: 5px 10px;}
    

    For any other changes you need to your website style, please have a look at this doc: https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/customizing-your-style/
    

    Thanks

    Thanks. I never knew about the “Inspect Element” feature. 
    

    I added your code.  The first code you gave me worked.  The second and third did not.  What am I missing?  Thanks, Paolo.

    You are missing the closing curly braket after 
    

    change this :
    

    .map_category {display:none;
    

    to :
    

    .map_category {display:none;}
    

    Thanks

    Hi Paolo,
    

    The Customize My Search dropdown is very vacant whether I add your CSS or not.  It doesn’t look right because the Search button is to the left and “Studio Features” is to the right and it’s in this huge gray box. I prefer your CSS because it makes sense to have the list to the right and not the left.  There’s no way to change the dropdown to a small pop up box?  It would look cleaner. 
    

    I may have to skip out on this feature and use Place Tags instead.  Is there any way to have a list of Place Tags with checkboxes beneath the search bar? The Tag Cloud widget is not my style. 
    

    Thank you.
    

    ~Janine
