Search form deleted by addig a post?! How so?

  • I’ve spent all day trying to get rid of the search form in right hand sidebar of a theme. I’ve been using Starkers theme (latest version). I seem to have deleted it BUT had to add a post first! – read that somewhere here. How on earth does that work? Anyone shed some light on this please??!

    Thanks in advance,
    Confused Andrew

  • The cache needed updating – either at your browser’s end or at your web hosts/ISP?

    Furthermore, I just deleted the post and now the form appears again.

    “Not Found
    Apologies, but no results were found for the requested archive. Perhaps searching will help find a related post.
    Search for: “

    the above appears along with the search field.

    Anyone throw any light upo this for me?

    Have you tried adding an empty text widget to your sidebar? Or editing your theme’s sidebar.php template file?

    If your theme is widget aware, you should be to just drop a text widget into the sidebar via Appearance -> Widgets

    ok, so I got rid of the post. The search bar appeared with the above text again. So then I drag and droppped a text widget via backend, Appearance -> Widgets.

    Text Widget didn’t work! Damn.

    Any of thoughts?
