    After updating to Connections and updating to WordPress 4.9.3.1, the search box stopped permitting the insertion of cursor. http://richmondcarotary.org/members/

    Other functions (Category drop-down, pagination, and links in individuals’ cards) all work.

    @ nick1450

    This is not a bug or issue with Connections. The cause is the search widget in the theme header at the very top of the page. The theme has this style for that widget:

    #sidebar_header .header-widget {
    float: left;
    height: 100%;
    max-width: 100%;
    padding-bottom: 100%;
    margin-bottom: -100%;
    width: auto;
}

    The height: 100%; and padding-bottom: 100%; declarations cause the header search widget to be full page height which does not allow you to click thru to items that are underneath it in the z-index of the page.

    You can test this yourself. Try selecting any of the paragraph text under the search box. You will not be able to unless you start your selection on the left side of the paragraph text that is not underneath the header search widget. Another visual indicator is that the cursor will change from an I to an arrow when below the header search widget.

    Unfortunately, there is nothing I can do to help. You’ll have to contact the theme’s support to have them help you fix that CSS.
