I love how your searchfield works on your site (centered in a header). I would like that!

How do I achieve this? Can you paste the VC code, pls? + CSS

Thank you so much

Hello,

You can create a row and use Mega Search Form element in Visual Composer editor.

Ah ok so cool!

Does your theme come with any slider-background? I was search for it and I know other themes come with it, but it seems I cannot achieve this? Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks

HI again

Ok, got it – now I understand why I had not seen it before and could not find it 🙂

If you have a look at my frontpage it is pretty screwed up, and there is no default designs to choose from. Is it possible you can send me the CSS you have used, so that I can achieve something similar?

Please have a look.

Also, when I try and set the background I never get what I want. Only when setting it to “fit 1st parrent” I ALMOST get the size I want, but still I dont get rid of the border in the sides.

Also I still have the 10-20 pixel space on top (padding) which I would like to get rid of.

I hope you can help me achieve following:

1. No padding on top
2. No padding in sides (full width but without zooming and screwing up the image which the other settings do)
3. Help me with CSS so I can get a setup like yours

Thanks

Peter

Hi there!

Any news on this one? I have a designer working on the CSS, so I would be glad if you could notify me before doing anything on the live-site.

Also, you could just send me the CSS and I can implement myself 🙂

Thanks

Peter

Hello,

This is not just CSS, that block is created with the help of VC editor. So please provide us with wp-admin panel credentials to check your page.

Thank you.

Hello,

I added a Row element inside of the first row and divided it into 3 columns, then I added “Mega Search Form” element in the second column to have it centered and added this code in CSS block of VC editor:

Really nice job!

Thank you so much!

Only last thing, please:

1. Why is the background image loading in 1-steps? I believe there must be some conflict/ hard loading job using the background image-settings I have.
2. Is there another way which takes less load-time to make the background image load?
3. How to get rid of the padding on top + sides, so that the image takes up full width (within the box)

Thanks

Peter

Hello,

1./2. As I see background image is loading quite fast. Please clarify this issue with more details.

3. I’ve added this code in CSS block of VC editor:
```
.page-content {
    margin-top: 1px;
}
```
Please check the site now.

Regards,
Eva Kemp.

Thank you very much.

However, I still have following ongoing problems:

1. I get a autosearch function which I cannot disable. You dont have it, and it ruins my BG image and all.

2. I still havent got rid of he side-margin, and my side margin CSS does not help…

3. The background image loads in 2 steps. It loads in from left (its kind of jumping) which looks really bad. Did you test it?

Thank you

Peter

Hello,

1. What autosearch function are you talking about? Please show us a screenshot.

2./3. I’ve set full width for background image in the row settings. Please clear browser cache and check it now.

Hi again

https://gofile.me/6lYKv/x5nBkvZj

Above link is to screen shot.

1. When typing 3 letters you get the auto-suggest. But in this search-form it screws up not only layout but the content and all is weird. So I would like to kill the autosuggest for this search-formular.

2. Also, as stated earlier, when I set the background to “full width” it screws up the image. It zooms on the image (for no need as it is twice the size as the actual width(!). The guy in the image with the walkie talkie is now so big that you cannot see the walkie talkie. Thats why I changed the background type.

Thanks

Peter

Hello,

1. I’ve added this code in CSS block of VC editor to hide autosearch:
```
.et-search-result {
    display: none !important;
}
```
2. I’ve set background position for the image:
