 * Hi Liv.
 * I got another doubt…when installing this plugin where does it write HTML? I’m
   asking because I want to position login boxes over the header and I think it 
   added HTML outside of the header area…
 * Would you please help?? Thank you!

 * The plugin places the HTML code inside the HTML tag that you added the php loginbox
   call to. So if you put the php loginbox in your header div it should look something
   like this:
 *     ```
       <div id="header">
       <?php
           if(function_exists('wplb_login')) {
               wplb_login();
           }
       ?>
       </div>
       ```
   
 * The HTML will be placed inside your header div. If you could link me to your 
   site, I could check if the HTML is actually being palced in the correct HTML 
   div tag. If you are going to link me your site, please also let me know in which
   HTML tag you placed the php loginbox call.

 * Hi again!
 * Found the code..lol..I went through such a big mess 😛 sorry for that.
 * So the code is in header.php inside the wrapper….
 * <div id=”wrapper”>
    <?php if (function_exists (‘wplb_login’)) { wplb_login();}?

 * The wrapper is usually the div that holds together the entire site. Try to find
   another div inside the wrapper and place the php code there.

 * Hi Ziv!
 * I took the code from the wrapper and moved it to the body, opening the div “header”.
   Then in the CSS inserts area of the theme I added the following changes as fields
   and links don’t appear over the header:
 * #wplb_wrap { position:relative; z-index: 1; padding-right: 350px; top:60px;
    }
 * Horizontally they are ok now but vertically a huge white space has been added..
   I want fields to overlap header area!

 * I’m not sure what you mean when you say horizontally or vertically. Maybe the
   whitespace is because of the padding or the margin you added? I am not too sure.

 * I mean it’s correctly aligned horizontally, where I want it to be 🙂
 * I don’t know, can´t find it! But if I deactivate the plugin, white space disappears..
   seems there’s some padding/margin/whatever..pushing down the entire site and 
   I don’t think it’s has something to do with any of my changes…! I’m not a css/
   php expert…so your help would be very kind!

 * It’s difficult for me to assist you without looking at your site. Do you mind
   sending me a link? If you don’t want to send it in the public forum you can email
   it to me.

 * Sorry, I missed it. I figured out what is causing the white space. Your design
   is in tables which means we can’t post the code in a div, but we need to post
   it in the correct table row inside a td tag.
    Remove the extra css you added 
   and change the login box align from right to left. Then put the php code right
   after the closing div tag for your search box div (all of this markup should 
   be in header.php). This should fix your issue.
 * So it will look something like this:
 *     ```
       <div class="searchbox">
       					<form method="get" class="searchform" action="http://protocolos.mdsinsure.com/mlearning/">
       					<div class="searchbox-form"><input type="text" class="text inputblur" onfocus="this.value=''" value="Pesquisa" onblur="this.value='Pesquisa'" name="s"></div>
       					</form>
       				</div>
   
              PHP LOGIN BOX CODE HERE
       ```

 * Hi again Ziv!
 * In my theme (Atahualpa) there’s no code for the search box in file header.php.
 * All code for the search is the file searchform.php so I tried to add your code
   there, like this:
 *     ```
       <form method="get" class="searchform" action="<?php echo esc_url( home_url() ); ?>/">
       <table class="searchform" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
       <tr>
       <td class="searchfield">
       <input type="text" class="text inputblur" value="<?php esc_attr( the_search_query() ); ?>" name="s" />
       </td>
       <td class="searchbutton">
       <input name="submit" value="Search" type="image" src="<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/images/magnifier2-gray.gif" style="display: block; border:none; padding: 0 0 0 5px; margin: 0;" />
       </td>
       </tr></table>
       <?php if (function_exists ('wplb_login')) { wplb_login(); } ?>
       </form>
       ```

 * That’s weird, the login box should appear. In your header.php try placing the
   php code after the first searchform.php call.

 * Weird. Try looking for the `get_search_form()` function.
