This is a search form which i want to design. I have created this form in a page template named isbn. But when i am opening that page for editing i am unable to do this. I am using divi theme in wordpress.
So divi theme is not allowing me to edit this page. Due to which this page is looking very bad in look wise.
Can anyone help me for designing this page by giving their codes or simply by giving their suggestions?
I am facing one more problem whenever i am writing css code in above code i am not getting anything. So i am totally blank that how to deal with this

  1. First, you have to create a page using divi theme, then create shortcode for this form in functions.php and then use this shortcode in your page.

  2. you are inserting the form above the get_header(); function, so it will be outside of the html tag and outside of the body tag. Move it into the body, then it should at least appear on the page, and you’ll see what you need to do next.

  3. Just create a WordPress page and add shortcode which you added in functions.php before. Don’t create template for this page just use your shortcode only.
