  • Hi @oussamafeki ,

    There is a CSS being applied from your theme ‘bfc-blog’ which is hiding the search bar:

    Here is the snippet:

    
    #bitnami-banner, #recent-comments-2, #search-2 {
        display: none !important;
    }
    

    Please remove this CSS snippet. Or at least remove the last selector i.e. #search-2 from above code.

    the widget is hidden, with this css in style.css of your child theme:

    #bitnami-banner,
    #recent-comments-2,
    #search-2 {
      display: none !important;
    }

    make it visible, for example with this in ‘Additional CSS’:

    aside#search-2 { display: block!important; }

    Hi,
    @ketanvyawahare, @alchymyth Thank you for your answers.
    I still have a problem with this search widget. It does not work. Do you have a solution to offer?

    temporarily switch to the parent theme Twenty Fourteen – to see if the search work then?

    if yes, there is a problem in the child theme.
    check the theme for any filters or actions on the search, and check the search.php template.
    if you haven’t created the child theme, contact the developer for help.

    if the search still does not work with the parent theme, temporarily deactivate all plugins and check the search again.

    if it works then, re-activate one plugin at a time, and check the search each time, to locate the interfering plugin. then contact that plugin’s developer for help.

    I tried to switch to the Twenty Fourteen theme but search still not working.
    I deactivate all plugins and the result is the same: search don’t work.

    I switched to the twenty sixteen and twenty nineteen and the search works. What can I do with my theme?
