 * Hey idjuly… can you copy and paste your shortcode in here so I can have a guess
   at whats going on, or even better, if you have a link online I could take a quick
   look 🙂
 * Thanks

 * Hmmm strange, seems like there is an extra character being output… which I’ve
   not seen before so seems strange it is only on your installation..
 * Can you view source of your page and paste in code for the widget – everthing
   between and including the “<form>” tags?
 * All the code in here
 *     ```
       <form action="" method="post" class="searchandfilter">
       ...
       </form>
       ```
   
 * And if you can link a screen shot that would be great 🙂

 * Hey idjuly4, I’m not sure whats going on here but this looks like the code from
   the wordpress admin section?
 * I need the code in the front end – ie, view source of the page a user sees (ie
   a generated instance of Search & Filter – not the shortcode) and search for this:
 *     ```
       <form action="" method="post" class="searchandfilter">
       ```

 * Hi idjuly4
 * The code looks fine.. I thought the extra ‘>’ was maybe a tag that wasn’t properly
   open or closed but it doesn’t look that way.
 * Have you tried the plugin on a different theme? It may be a styling issue.
 * What happens when you inspect the extra ‘>’ using firebug?
 * Thanks
