Extra search element removal?

Where’s the other search form?

I guess I removed it from the sidebar. Still would like to remove it and actually extend my photo upwards. Is that possible? tks

Add this CSS;

#branding #searchform {
 display: none;
}

You ought to add new styles externally, not within the theme’s files. Changes to the theme’s files will compromise the theme and be compromised when the theme updates.

External changes can be made using a Child Theme or through a plugin that provides Custom CSS functionality.

I recommend using the Jetpack plugin and its Custom CSS functionality to hold your CSS modifications.

Done! thank you and also for those JetPak tip.
