 * Hello, I have a few questions regarding the Sela theme.
 * 1. ENTRY META: I have managed to change the position of the entry meta, but as
   you can see it is displayed below each other (date, comments, edit*). Is there
   a way to make it next to each other and separated by “/”? Is there a way to show
   post tags and topic above/below the entry title/entry content?
 * 2. SEARCH BOX AND COMMENT FORM: When I click on the searchbox (widget) the border
   changes into the original Sela theme color (deep pinkish) and the submit button
   for comments is also in the original color. I would like to change this but can’t
   find a way to do so…. I would like to exclude the comment form from one page (
   contact page).
 * Do you guys have a nice plugin to put a (expandable) search bar in the navigation
   bar (if possible only showing the search logo in the right corner which will 
   expand when you click on it) which will not mess up the nav-bar look.
 * 3. HORIZONTAL LINE SEPARATING POSTS: Also, I would like to remove the grey horizontal
   line which separates my posts on the front page but can’t find the way to do 
   so.
 * 4. IMAGES FULL WIDTH: On the Sela demo site, it states that there is an option
   to select full-width for images but I have not found a way to do so.
 * I know these are a lot of questions, but I would really appreciate it if you 
   could help me sort out these problems so that I can make my website perfect!

 * Hi there, I’ll answer your questions in a few separate replies.

 * Give this a try in your custom CSS:
 *     ```
       .entry-meta {
         width: 300px;
       }
       .entry-meta span {
         display: inline;
       }
       .entry-meta .date:after, .entry-meta .edit-link:before {
         content: " / ";
       }
       ```
   
 * You can adjust the width of the .entry-meta element as you like.
 * A couple of references to learn more about some of these properties:

 * Try this and see if it covers everything you need:
 *     ```
       input[type="text"]:focus,
       input[type="email"]:focus,
       input[type="password"]:focus,
       input[type="search"]:focus,
       input[type="url"]:focus,
       textarea:focus {
       	border: 1px solid #888;
       }
       ```
   
 * You can adjust the focus colour as you like; #888 is a dark grey.

 * I don’t have a specific plugin to recommend for an expandable search box.

 * I used a [browser inspector](https://thewc.co/articles/view/web-inspector-tutorial)
   to figure out where those grey lines are coming from:
 *     ```
       .hentry::after {
           background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #f2f2f2;
           display: block;
           height: 1px;
           left: -5.1%;
           position: relative;
           width: 110.2%;
       }
       ```
   
 * You can try overriding the grey lines by adding this to your custom CSS:
 *     ```
       .hentry::after {
           background-color: transparent;
       }
       ```

 * I’m not sure this is what you’re referring to, but if you apply the full-width
   template to a page via the Page Attributes box, you’ll get full-width featured
   images, as you see in this example:

 * Let me know if this is what you’re looking for.

 * Could you please start a new thread and we’ll be glad to help you there. If it’s
   live, please provide a link to your site running Sela when you do. Thanks!
