[Resolved] Larger Search

[metcomllc@aol.com]

My site https://www.tryhypnosisnow.com/hypnosis-downloads has a search icon under the header.

I would like a more pronounced/larger search bar or graphic like this site https://www.hypnosisdownloads.com. Is there a larger search option on GP?

Hi there,

do you want the search form to always be visible ?

[metcomllc@aol.com]

Yes, I want it to be visible

It will take a few steps:

1. We need to create a Shortcode for our Search Field.
This article provides the PHP Snippet to do that:

This article explains adding PHP:

2. Then you can use the Block Element:

To create your search area to which you can now add your new shortcode:

[search_form]

In the Block Element you can select the Hook – use the generate_after_header hook to place it below the navigation.

Set the Display Rules to the Entire Site or wherever it is you want it displayed.

NOTE: We recommend using the GenerateBlocks plugin for better styling control in the block element:

Please take a https://www.tryhypnosisnow.com/hypnosis-downloads on a mobile phone. Is there a way to put text content right under the search box?

Is there a way to move the current content below it, closer to the search box so there isn’t a big gap or space there?
“By utilizing the NYC Hypnosis Life Altering hypnosis recordings, you can train your mind to overcome any habit…..”

If you select the Separator Block you have at the top of your post content, go to the Settings > Advanced > Additional CSS Class(es) and enter: hide-on-mobile this will remove that block on mobile phones. Its that block that is taking up the space

Where do I find Settings > Advanced > Additional CSS Class(es)?

[metcomllc@aol.com]

I see the Separator Block on my mobile version but not my desktop? I do not know how/where to find the Separator Block.

Where do I find Settings > Advanced > Additional CSS Class(es)?

Take a look at this:

The problem is, there is no separator block on my main page. My main page is a Page not a Post.

[Leo]

Just to confirm, we are talking about this right?
https://www.screencast.com/t/mYE1D3wm

If that’s definitely a separator block as the HTML shows.

Looks like it’s inserted above the “By utilizing the NYC….” sentence and right below the search bar.

So I was editing the page visually and switched to code editor.

I removed the following <hr class="wp-block-separator is-style-wide"/>

Glad to hear 🙂
