  Hello,

  After changing the theme of my blog a few months ago, I noticed there are two problems I can’t seem to fix.

  First, when I input into the search widget it automatically redirects me to my RSS feed, and I can’t seem to search posts based on whatever I input.

  Second, on the Instagram photo section of my blog, there seems to be a blank space in the second row, which brings the 6th image to a 4th row by itself. How can I change that so that two images are side by side to each other, and there are only three rows of images?

  Thank you for your help!
  Diana

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi Diana!

  Please see my answers below:

  First, when I input into the search widget it automatically redirects me to my RSS feed, and I can’t seem to search posts based on whatever I input.

  Currently, when I input a search term in your sidebar, it displays the results in the content area of your blog like normal as shown here:

  First, when I input into the search widget it automatically redirects me to my RSS feed, and I can’t seem to search posts based on whatever I input.

  Can you confirm that you’re searching from the search widget on your sidebar? If you’re still having trouble, can you upload a screenshot of the search results page you receive to your Media Library so I can take a look?

  Second, on the Instagram photo section of my blog, there seems to be a blank space in the second row, which brings the 6th image to a 4th row by itself. How can I change that so that two images are side by side to each other, and there are only three rows of images?

  This is actually caused by the Text widget above displaying your social media icons. Since all of the icons are aligned left, it’s forcing the first image in the left-hand column to bump down a bit a misalign the rest of the images. One solution is to create a table to display the social icons instead. Could you replace your current content in the Text widget with the following as a test?

  <table><tr><td><a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheDreameryEvents"><img class="size-full wp-image-5216 alignnone" alt="facebook" src="http://thedreameryblog.files.wordpress.com/2014/01/facebook.png" width="48" height="48" /></a></td><td><a href="http://www.pinterest.com/dmiranda/"><img class="size-full wp-image-5215 alignnone" alt="pinterest" src="http://thedreameryblog.files.wordpress.com/2014/01/pinterest.png" width="48" height="48" /></a></td><td><a href="https://www.bloglovin.com/thedreameryevents"><img class="size-full wp-image-5223 alignnone" alt="bloglovin" src="http://thedreameryblog.files.wordpress.com/2014/01/bloglovin.png" width="48" height="48" /></a></td></tr>
  <tr><td><a href="http://followgram.me/diana_miranda5"><img class="size-full wp-image-5221 alignnone" alt="instagram" src="http://thedreameryblog.files.wordpress.com/2014/01/instagram.png" width="48" height="48" /></a></td><td><a href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/dianamiranda"><img class="size-full wp-image-5216 alignnone" alt="linkedin" src="http://thedreameryblog.files.wordpress.com/2014/01/linkedin.png" width="48" height="48" /></a></td><td><a href="feed://thedreameryevents.com/feed/"><img class="size-full wp-image-5216 alignnone" alt="feed" src="http://thedreameryblog.files.wordpress.com/2014/01/rss.png" width="48" height="48" /></td></tr></table>

  That should fix the issue.

  Let me know if that works!
