Title: [Plugin: custom tables] Problem with Search Button CSS Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # [Plugin: custom tables] Problem with Search Button CSS * Resolved [slui](https://wordpress.org/support/users/slui/) * (@slui) * [14 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-custom-tables-problem-with-search-button-css/) * First of all, a pretty good plugin. It wasn’t too difficult to get it to work. Although, I did have problems importing data so I had to manually imported the data through phpMyAdmin. * I’m having problems with configuring/customizing the Search button and text area. It seems like no matter what I enter in the CSS file, it doesn’t change anything. I would like to send you a pic of what the issue is so that you can get a better idea. * Thanks. * sl * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-tables/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-tables/) Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) * Plugin Author [Stefan M.](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stefan-m-1/) * (@stefan-m-1) * [14 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-custom-tables-problem-with-search-button-css/#post-2360560) * Hi slui * The question is how your Theme is managing the CSS definitions. Therefor many often you will need to use the tag !important that you will see any change, like: * color: #EFEFEF !important; text-decoration: none !important; * Try it. * Search button is very diffrent. Search Form will be taken 1:1 from Theme and not generated itself in my plugin! I replaced only the style from search field what you can modify it. But indeed all themes are handling the Search button diffrent and add another style into it, what makes it for me impossible to change it. * You will need to edit there the themes search button! * I will try do invest again in this section, perhaps I find a solution. * Thread Starter [slui](https://wordpress.org/support/users/slui/) * (@slui) * [14 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-custom-tables-problem-with-search-button-css/#post-2360568) * Hey Stefan, * Thank you very much for the quick reply.

You can try to add the search with text=””( empty) then it will NOT display the “Search:”. * Then it should work. * Stefan * Thread Starter [slui](https://wordpress.org/support/users/slui/) * (@slui) * [14 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-custom-tables-problem-with-search-button-css/#post-2360580) * Hi Stefan, * I’m not that well versed in code so I will make an attempt to find a a fix. How do I remove the text “Search:” from the text property.

The theme uses an image for a search button whereas you have implemented an actual button (at least that is what I think). * I tried to not include your search function and used the theme search function, but the theme search function is not able to search the data in the tables. * I’m still at a loss as how to fix this. 🙁 * sl * Plugin Author [Stefan M.](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stefan-m-1/) * (@stefan-m-1) * [14 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-custom-tables-problem-with-search-button-css/#post-2360619) * send me your theme with email, then I can send you the fix. The wordpress search function is NOT working with the table content, you will need to use the plugin search function instead, which I can fix 😉 * Send me mail to the mailadess * stefan wuk ch * With at and point inside 😉 Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) The topic ‘[Plugin: custom tables] Problem with Search Button CSS’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/custom-tables.svg) * [custom tables](https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-tables/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-tables/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/custom-tables/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/custom-tables/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/custom-tables/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/custom-tables/reviews/) * 8 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [Stefan M.](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stefan-m-1/) * Last activity: [14 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-custom-tables-problem-with-search-button-css/#post-2360619) * Status: resolved
