OK, WordPress world, what is the anatomy of a search, particularly that part of the search function that displays the results? How is the framework for displaying results called?

By the way Ilan, solving the “why does it work that way?” problem may not be the answer. It may be sufficient to remove the evidence. You have two domains sited there: payitforwardfriends.com and ironwhisk.com. Where in your design work did you enter one vs. the other? Figuring that out may zero you in on something that you can adjust or eliminate. I’m thinking, did you add and remove the RSS feed to the sidebar a couple times? Did you try out different widgets for the RSS and/or the search functions?

‘Looked at the code with FireBug. There are differences between the rss-shifted version and the rss-ok version. These code difference might ring a bell regarding something you switched around when experimenting with the site.

When the RSS line is shifted to the right, there is an empty anchor in the leading space:

<li class="widget_sociallinks">
<a href="http://www.payitforwardfriends.com/?p=6"></a>
<a class="rss" target="_blank" href=" http://www.ironwhisk.com/feed">Read the RSS Feed</a>
</li>

and the Follow Me title is nested in an anchor:

<a href="http://www.payitforwardfriends.com/?p=6">
<li id="linkabletitlehtmlandphpwidget-3" class="widget-container widget_text">
<div class="textwidget">
<b>FOLLOW</b>
ME
<div class="horizontal_dotted_line"></div>
</div>
</li>
</a>

When the RSS line is positioned properly, there is not an empty anchor before the feed:

<li class="widget_sociallinks">
<a class="rss" target="_blank" href=" http://www.ironwhisk.com/feed">Read the RSS Feed</a>
</li>

and the Follow Me title is not nested in an anchor:

<li id="linkabletitlehtmlandphpwidget-3" class="widget-container widget_text">
<div class="textwidget">
<b>FOLLOW</b>
ME
<div class="horizontal_dotted_line"></div>
</div>
</li>

I don’t know why one search would display the code with the extra anchors while a different search displays the code without them. You would think the “list posts” operation that comes at the end of a search process would always use the same template.

I’ve seen other posts concerning JS conflicts between the plugin and the theme. I am experiencing one myself, using Tabula Rosa. The JS that runs the menu works only if there IS a gallery on the page.

So, what is the best strategy for troubleshooting JS conflicts, seeing as I’m a hacker not a programmer?

I am having the same problem. No resolution yet?

Good research on your part, all the way around!

How did you get the post thumbnail widget to show up?

I’ve been through the page you referenced, checked over my theme which seems to be defined correctly (an other users of this theme have post thumbnails), scoured my theme settings, and can’t get any mention of post thumbnail to appear anywhere. Oh, and when I mess with an image in my library I do not have the option to use it as a thumbnail.

Thanks!

So, with inline CSS built into the plugin, how do you over-ride what’s there? Use a bunch of Important! tags 😉
