Remove searchbox

Hi Ligefrem,

First, make sure you are using a Child Theme. In the style sheet for your child theme, add this bit of CSS:

#searchform {
display: none;
}

That will set the display of the search box to none and it will not affect the flow of your layout either.

Hope this helps!

But I’m not using a child theme (I knew how to do that) and I want to remove the searchbox from THIS theme.

you need to remove the div from the navigation section (probably in header.php). Search for <div id="search"> and remove (maybe comment out first just to make sure) everything up and including the closing </div> after the </form> tag.

Hope this helps.

Hi Ligefrem,

I suggested a Child Theme because if you make changes to a theme (not a Child Theme of the theme) your changes can be overwritten in the future if the theme is updated.

In your CSS style sheet modify:

#search {
    position: absolute;
    right: 0;
    top: 10px;
    width: 229px;
}

to:

#search {
    position: absolute;
    right: 0;
    top: 10px;
    width: 229px;
    display: none;
}

Good luck with your site!

Much better idea, thanks Christi. Ligefrem, follow Christi’s advice, make your changes in a child theme so you dont lose anything if you upgrade your theme.
