Search Results Spacing Challenge

[Terry Sullivan]

Please look at the attached screen shot, and you will see the message “There were no results found.” Notice there is a spacing problem with the << that is in this sentence, just before the this phraze “https://twitter.com/LifeExtension.&#8221; Can you please tell me how I might be able to fix this?

Thank you,

Hi there Terry,

Thanks for reaching out! I can help you here…

Can you please share a link to this message in your site? Not sure why it’s displaying that way!

Thanks,
Nico

I Nico, Here’s a link to my calendar…

You will see the double greater than sign that overlaps the phrase “There were no results found.” Can you please tell me how to fix this spacing issue?

Thank you for your help!

Thanks for clarifying and sending over the URL!

Actually the theme is adding the ‘double greater’ character via CSS. You can hide it with the following CSS snippet:


.tribe-events-notices > ul li:before {
content: '';
}


You can include that in your theme (or child theme) stylesheet or via Simple Custom CSS plugin!

Give it a go and let me know if that works for you,
Best,
Nico

Thanks Nico,

You are amazing… It worked!

Can you please, however, tell me why when I added the CSS coding you sent me to my RISE WordPress theme editor, it did not work. But, once I added the plugin you suggested and entered the code you sent me, it worked perfectly. Why did I have to add the plugging to make the css coding work?

Please advise…

Thanks again, Nico…

I so appreciate you!

Glad to hear it worked Terry 🙂

I’m not sure how the RISE WordPress theme editor works, so not sure about the result. Maybe you can try adding the !important directive to the rule:


.tribe-events-notices > ul li:before {
content: '' !important;
}


But maybe the code doesn’t get posted at all? Can you check with this updated snippet? Also check that the code is printed in the page by inspecting the source.

The Simple Custom CSS plugin is great to customize the look and feel of the site without modifying the theme’s files, but it should be the same result as inserting the snippet in the theme style-sheet.

Please let me know if you can test the above now,
Best,
Nico
