Add Search Icon After Menu using Beaver Themer with the Beaver Theme

Here’s how you can add a search icon after a menu in a header done in the Beaver Theme using Beaver Themer.

Create a Shortcode for the Beaver Builder Search function

add_shortcode( 'bb_search','bb_search_shortcode' );
/* Add Search via shortcode */
function bb_search_shortcode() {
    ob_start();
    FLTheme::nav_search();
    return ob_get_clean();
}

Create the Header in Beaver Themer

Create a new header theme layout in Beaver Themer by adding the menu and a HTML module in a row – in the HTML module add the shortcode made above using [bb_search]

add-shortcode-search-icon

 

Add CSS Classes

To the rowmain-menu-search-row

To the menu column main-menu-col

To the HTML column – main-search-col
 

Turn off Equalize Column Heights

turn-off-equal-columns

 

Add Some CSS

.main-menu-search-row .fl-col-group {
	display: flex;
	flex-flow: row wrap;
	justify-content: center;
}

.main-menu-col {
	width: auto;
}

.main-search-col {
	position: relative;
	top: 5px;
	width: auto;
}

.main-search-col  .fl-page-nav-search {
	display: block;
}

centre-menu-search

Now everything should be centered and also the search icon by default is hidden under 992px, the last CSS rule above overrides that.

    Thank you again WP Beaches! I’m always dumbfounded when there’s a native theme option that can’t be recreated in Themer. You guys have been a lifesaver time and time again!

    This feature is really missing in Beaver Builder Menu module.
    Well done, nice work; simple to apply and efficient! ;-)
