# Explorer search bar fields stacked vertically

On desktop, the HomeRunner Explorer search bar shows its fields stacked in a column instead of in a horizontal row. The property cards also appear unstyled, and everything falls back to a plain, full-width stacked layout.

**Why this happens.** The plugin's CSS files are missing from the server. These compiled stylesheet files control the search bar layout, the property card grid, and the booking widget appearance. Without them, your site has no styling instructions to work from.

**What you can do.** Reinstall the complete, properly built plugin ZIP. This restores the missing files and fixes the layout immediately. After reinstalling, you may need to do a hard refresh in your browser to clear any cached page.

Still stuck? [Contact the HomeRunner team](https://homerunner.io/contact/) with your site address and what you tried, and we take it from there.
