 * Our site just went live
    [http://www.MidCoastVB.com](http://www.MidCoastVB.com)
   and I thought the enigmatic gray rectangle would magically disappear – it did
   not! … anyone have any ideas … so I can force it to disappear? Thanks 🙂

 * Looks like it’s in your CSS.
 * Change
 * `<div class="tabberlive style1">`
 * to
 * `<div class="tabberlive">`
 * I only tested on Firefox on Mac, that eliminated the gray rectangle for me.

 * Thanks for your quick reply Doug – I’ve been searching (and searching) for the
   
   code: 1. from my Dashboard – I selected Editor – then Edit CSS … and I couldn’t
   find it, so I tried 2. from my Dashboard – Appearance – Edit CSS and added in
   the line of code <div class=”tabberlive”> hoping it would override the other 
   line … i didn’t work.
 * So, please help me find exactly where to add in your new line… thanks a ton!

 * that code Scriptrunner was referring to is in your header.php file….you can get
   to it via Appearance>Editor, but back up what’s there first to be safe.

 * Thanks [@trisham](https://wordpress.org/support/users/trisham/).
 * [@midcoastvb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/midcoastvb/) – If you can’t
   or don’t want to update the php file, you can comment out that selector in the
   CSS file. It would probably be best if you could update the header, as something
   else may use style1. However, if you want to edit the CSS file, it can be found
   here:
 * `http://69.195.124.61/~midcoat4/wp-content/plugins/tabber-tabs-widget/tabber.
   css`
 * Just change:
 *     ```
       .style1 {
       background: #D6D6D8;
       }
       .tabberlive.style1 {
       padding:15px 0 3px;
       }
       ```
   
 * to
 *     ```
       /*
       .style1 {
       background: #D6D6D8;
       }
       .tabberlive.style1 {
       padding:15px 0 3px;
       }
       */
       ```

 * well – i’m still trying.
    i have the Corporate Child Theme so under Appearance
   >Editor – I didn’t find the “<div class= ” code but I did try to comment out 
   the entire /*Search form … */ thinking that it might be trying to put a search
   field on the top of my website? any thoughts – greatly appreciated – :-}

 * I used Firebug and first selected the gray box, which told me it was that div
   element that was creating it. Then I took out the style1 class from that bit 
   of HTML and the gray box disappeared. So I don’t think it has to do with a Search
   form.
 *  I can’t tell exactly where the HTML is getting generated as I’m just looking
   a few source in my browser, but the CSS is definitely in the file I posted.
