How to get rid of search bar in header?

I think that you’ll want to remove the following:

<div id="pao_search"><form role="search" method="get" id="searchform" action="https://www.jakehuddleston.com/" >
	<div><label class="screen-reader-text" for="s">Search for:</label>
	<input type="text" value="" name="s" id="s" />
	<input type="submit" id="searchsubmit" value="Search" />
	</div>
	</form></div>

or in your css, just add #pao_search {display:none;}

By the way when you say this:

I believe I know which code I need to remove from header.php to remove it, but I want to be sure before I go ahead and do so. Thanks for any help!

I would recommend that you make a back up of your theme, make changes and then if something breaks just re-upload the back up. It’s by breaking things that you learn. ??

Thanks Christine, I am new to WordPress and coding in general so I will definitely start to ‘experiment’ with changing code to see what works.

Unfortunately I can’t seem to find the code that you said to remove…is it in the style.css or in header.php? Thanks!

Header.php line 61.

Look for pao_search

The code in the php is slightly different and looks like so:

<div id="pao_search"><?php get_search_form(); ?></div>

The get_search_form function is a WordPress function that generates the search form. ??
