Hello,

Thank you for getting in touch.

You should be able to do this by using some jquery to add the id attribute. Try adding the code below to the JS section of your view.

jQuery("input[name='wpv_post_search']").attr('id', 'value');

Please try this and let me know if it helps.
Thanks,
Shane

Great, that fixed the issue for me. Any reason why this feature isn't just built into the core of the plugin?

Also would you be able to help me with a similar fix for this dropdown list in the sidebar filters?

Hello,

Unsure of the reason why this isn't there by default, however you are able to add a class.

Also on the link that you sent i'm not seeing any sidebar on the page.

Thanks,
Shane
