  • Hi Onherye,

    Can you please explain me for which theme are you working?
    Because If you are activate default theme of wordpress “twentythirteen” then there is a default search bar into the navigation menu bar.

    Thanks

    My guess is that since he/she is posting in the Iconic One support forum that the theme being used is Iconic One.

    Moving the search form isn’t something that would be too hard, but it wouldn’t be as easy as using some simple CSS, either. The best way would be to create a child theme and make a change to a copy of header.php by adding a call to get_search_form() in the navigation DIV.

    Multidots: I am using Iconic One Theme.

    CrouchingBruin: I am a novice when it comes to css/wordpress. I once saw a tutorial where all u have to do is paste a short code into the head.php file & then another short code at the bottom of style.css – but now i can’t seem to find it. Was hoping someone out there might know an easier way of doing it. Thank you!

    You shouldn’t be following any advice that tells you to modify the theme files directly. If the theme gets updated because of feature enhancements, bug fixes, or security patches, your changes will become lost. That’s why I recommended creating a child theme. If you’re adding shortcode, then that must mean you have to install a plugin? Although I don’t know of any shortcode that will work inside a CSS file. You’re better off making the change that I suggested above. That way, only one file needs to be modified, and it’s a very simple change.
