how do i move search box to footer

Please include as much information as possible so we can be of further assistance. Without doing so, this question is, unfortunately, overly generic.

Find the search box in your header.php and then copy it and paste to the footer.php file.

Sure, that can work for ones who know code…please make sure to have FTP access to site prior to attempting this as an error in doing so (in the theme editor) can and will take the site down. At that point, FTP access will be needed to fix that. Also, always backup all files prior to edit, and know you can return the last known working version to the site immediately (via FTP).

here’s alink to the website: https://50.87.144.116/~rjbowe/wordpress/

So in the footer there are four sections. They are images with text overlapping it. In the space that currently doesn’t have a box. I want an image and to overlay the textbox over it that has the submit button next to the search box rather than underneath it. I’ve tried everything I can think of. The problem is that I need a code I can post into a widget and have it work. I can’t use the search widget becasue I can’t position the search box where i need it and I can’t get an image underneath the search box.

The footer sections are just widgets. You can add the search widget where desired in the footer.

Admin Dashboard>Appearance>Widgets>Drag the Search Widget to the Footer section you want it to appear in – See:

Removing the search from the menu area in the header can be achieved per this post:

Additional note: Please review why using a Child Theme is important at:

As a workaround, you can add this CSS:

.menu form {display:none;}

To discover what CSS is output by your theme, use a web inspection tool such as Firebug: https://getfirebug.com/ , Chrome Inspect Element: https://developers.google.com/chrome-developer-tools/ or Internet Explorer 9+ F12 Dev. Tools: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd565627(v=vs.85).aspx#csstool

There are others.

When editing CSS, use a Child Theme

Custom CSS Plugin, or Theme provided custom CSS option.
Edits to parent themes are lost on theme update.
