Search form in Starker's Theme

  • I’m following the tutorial in css-tricks part designing for wordpress: part 2 and obviously that is the old version of the theme. Either way I’m trying to get the search form to the very top right of the page. No matter what I delete from the coding or move nothing changes. I tried deleting <?php get_search_form(); ?> from search.php, loop.php because that’s what calls searchform.php which should be what makes the search form show in the first place. Also there wasn’t a searchform.php in the theme so I made one, and on firebug copy and pasted the code the browser automatically made for the search form. When I put float right on #form it went all the way to the right so I’m starting to get somewhere but I can’t located the search form in my coding at all please help thank you!

    Also, I just went through every .php within the starkers theme folder on my live website and the only way the search form dissapeared was by deleting the index.php which makes me so confused because the index.php has nothing that would indicate to put a search form on the page. It simply links to header.php, sidebar.php, and footer.php but deleting those also doesn’t get rid of the search form..

    Did you ever end up sorting this out?

    I’m stuck on the exact same thing. I’ve found that to remove it you have to go through the sidebar.php file, but the only way i’ve been able to delete it from my page is to just delete everything inside sidebar.php.

    Only problem is that doing that also removes Archives / Categories etc.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    So turns out I just fixed the problem literally 30 seconds after posting this.

    Head to your webpage.com/wp-admin area and click on Appearance, then Widgets. On the right hand side there is a box which displays the current enabled widgets. Remove ‘Search’ from there and itll remove it from your page.

    Basically the sidebar.php page was going to that area to find which which you had enabled, then showing them in your sidebar using the class “xoxo”.

    Hope that helps.
