Calendar search header theme formatting issue, once again

[alternatewords]

A few weeks back I had opened this issue: https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/calendar-search-header-slight-theme-formatting-issue/#post-73480, which had seemingly resolved itself. However, with recent updates it resurfaced. This time though I know what’s causing it.

As a reminder, here’s a screenshot: http://decor8blog.com/downloads/hotlink-ok/Capture.PNG. What’s happening is that the theme we’re using adds break tags and paragraph tags to forms (we’re already looking for a new theme but will need to keep using this in the interim). The theme has an option to add extra CSS. Unfortunately I am not all that familiar with CSS yet to fix this on my own. Basically I need a snippet to remove the extra breaks and paragraphs added to tribe-bar-form. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated (I am unable to post examples as this forum has no code posting option).

Thank you,
Thorsten

Hi Thorsten,

Posting code directly into the forum is indeed problematic – but you can certainly share links to code hosted on Pastebin, Gist or some similar service.

It’s difficult to advise you partly because I can’t find your events page to see what’s happening for myself (any solution is likely to depend on actually seeing the structure of the page and existing theme stylesheet rules).

As your theme is injecting these extra tags inappropriately, would it be possible for you to either reinstate the [raw] [/raw] “shortcodes” (I think you said in your last post that was the theme-provided workaround for this sort of situation) or otherwise reach out to the theme author and ask how this feature can be turned off?

Hi Barry,

Thanks so much for your response. The events are on a membership only site but for testing purposes I’ve just opened it up. You can take a look at http://decor8blog.com/ecourses/events. I’ve inspected the elements in Firefox with Firebug but am unsure as to how to fix it. If I use CSS > inline on the form it changes formatting completely and becomes unresponsive (an option that had been suggested on other forums). The theme developer is rather unresponsive hence posting here.

Thanks,
Thorsten

Hi Thorsten, something like the following (which you could set up in a custom tribe-events.css stylesheet) should help with this, to some extent at least:

#tribe-bar-form br { display: none; }

Perfect, that did it! Thank so much.

Fantastic! Thanks for letting us know, alternatewords. 🙂

By the way, if you have a minute or two, we will love it if you would write a few words for us here:
