Good day,

I am trying to get my Font Awesome search icon which is placed in the Primary Nav to pop up the search bar as it does with the location-switcher.

The location switcher has #location-switcher as the URL and ‘gd-menu-item’ as the class.
Is there a way to get similar functionality with Search in the Menu?

Kind regards,

Hi Dale,

Thanks for your post. You can use the custom CSS code below.
```
#menu-item-1594 .sub-menu{left: -50px!important;}

#primary-nav ul .sub-menu #menu-item-1593 > a:nth-child(1) {
    margin-right: 0px!important;
}
```

Hi Kor,

Thank you for your reply.

Your CSS has assisted in shifting the search box thanks; – although I was asking if the search box can open up in a pop-up modal similar to the way ‘Change Location’ works.

Hi Dale,

Thanks for your reply. Sorry for misunderstanding your question. Unfortunately, opening the search form in a “pop-up modal” requires customization. Maybe you can try using a 3rd party popup modal plugin and insert the GD search shortcode to call it and see if it works?

Hi Kor,

OK thanks. Trying to limit additional 3rd party plugins.

It seems counter-intuitive to add a 3rd party pop up maker if the GeoDirectory already has this functionality with ‘Change Location’.

Where can we request new features for V2?

I will take up your idea as a feature request. If lots of people request it the developers will consider adding it.

Thanks Alex,

It would also be beneficial to the mobile menu functionality; – so one does not have to click the sub-menu arrow to search.

I have implemented the CSS styling option provided by Kor for now.
