how to remove the search form

Hi,

YOu need to edit the single.php and indes.php file of your theme and remove the code of search.php file and also remove search.php file from your theme.

Thanks,

Shane G.

what part do i have to edit

i dont see anything that says search form in those 2 files?

i found this code:

/* Menu and search */

#nav {
clear: both;
height: 32px;
}

#header #searchform {
float: right;
margin-left: 0;
}

#searchform {
margin-left: 10px;
width: 228px;
padding-top: 7px;
height: 28px;
background: #ccc;
background: url(images/bgsearch.jpg) left 3px no-repeat;
}

*:first-child+html #searchform { /* Filter for IE7 */
padding: 5px 0;
}

* html #searchform { /* Filter for IE6 */
padding: 5px 0;
}

#searchbox {
margin-left: 8px;
margin-bottom: 3px;
width: 145px;
background: none;
border: none;
}

#searchbutton {
width: 50px;
background: none;
border: none;
}

#searchbutton:hover {
cursor: pointer;
}

@shame… he means take it out of the theme

@jvazjr –

In your theme’s header.php, look for

<div id="search"><form method="get" id="searchform" action="https://jvazjrsblog.com/">

<div>
<input type="text" value="" name="s" id="searchbox"/>
<input type="submit" id="searchbutton" value="" />
</div>
</form></div> <!-- Closes search -->

That is the code you need to delete if you do not want the search for there.

do i delete the whole code

i dont see that code

Look for <?php get_search_form();?> in your theme’s template (.php) files and remove it.

i dont have a template file??

Yes you do. Look in Admin/Appearance/Editor. That lists and allows you to edit all of the files that make up your theme. The .php ones are all template files of one type or another.

oh, sorry

which file do i edit?

Hard to say for sure but start by looking in header.php – near the bottom of that file.

i see this in the header file:

<div id=”nav”>
<div id=”search”><?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/searchform.php’); ?></div> <!– Closes search –>

There you go! Delete:
<div id="search"><?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/searchform.php'); ?></div> <!-- Closes search -->

the whole thing?
