Hi

I found this post because I would like to incorporate the search bar from twenty thirteen theme in my child theme based WP Advocate.

I have inserted the following code into my header.php file.
<?php get_search_form(); ?>

and I have updated the style.css on the child theme with the things that I want to overwrite on the original theme. I also copied the image files from the twenty thirteen theme.

@import url("../wp-advocate/style.css");

/* =Theme customization starts here
-------------------------------------------------------------- */

/* Remove Text display on home page */
.home .entry-title {
	display: none;
}

/* Mystickymenu */
.myfixed {background-image: none !important;}

/* Change Transparent image on theme */
#inner-header-wrap {
		background-image: url(library/images/trans-b2.png);
	}

/* Search bar in menu from Twentythirteen theme */

.menu-main-container {
    background-color: #2B2139;
    float: left;
}
#search-form {
    float: right;
    margin-right: 20px; /* to match your other right gutters */
    background-color: #2B2139; /* if you want the purple across the bar */
}
#site-search {
        background-color: transparent;
	background-image: url(images/search-icon-white.png);
	background-position: 5px center;
	background-repeat: no-repeat;
	background-size: 24px 24px;
	border: none;
	cursor: pointer;
	height: 20px; /* if you want the input box the same size as the bar */
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0 0 0 34px;
	-webkit-transition: width 400ms ease, background 400ms ease;
	transition: width 400ms ease, background 400ms ease;
	width: 0;
}
#site-search:focus {
	background-image: url(images/search-icon.png);
	background-position: 5px center;
	background-repeat: no-repeat;
	background-size: 24px 24px;
	background-color: #fff;
	cursor: text;
	outline: 0;
	width: 230px;
}

But my page doesn’t display the spyglass icon or hide the text input field. I the the standard search field with the standard search button.

Please could somebody help me to sort this out.
