[Theme: Twenty Eleven] Delete black 'Home' bar?

The easiest way would be to edit the header.php file. Once you have it open look for:

<?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'primary' ) ); ?>

you should be able to find it on line 118, then change it to:

<?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'primary', 'fallback_cb' => 'false' ) ); ?>

On the menu page set it to nothing (empty) and save it.

Hope this helps.

That got rid of the black bar, thank you!

However, the ‘search’ is still there. I want to get rid of that ‘search’ and use the widget one I installed on my sidebar.

Could you help with that as well?

Do not edit the Twenty Eleven theme. It is the default WordPress 3.2 theme and having access to an unedited version of the theme is vital when dealing with a range of site issues. Create a child theme for your changes. Once your child theme is active, we should be able to help with the customisation.

Too late.

Can you help me even though I already did it?

To edit the Twenty Eleven theme itself? No – for the reasons mentioned above. It’s people like me that then have to help when the default WordPress theme gets screwed up. Just don’t do it.

Oopsy. Already had.

but don’t worry.

i always put things back where i found them

Then re-upload a fresh copy of Twenty Eleven.

Then start work on a child theme.You can even download a pre-made child theme from here

the “here” link doesn’t go anywhere

Fixed.

yeah. i’m not doing that. that’s way too much work. i just wanna fix this one itty bitty thing.

You mean just like the other little thing you want to change? The amount of work needed is minimal. Which part of “having access to an unedited version of the theme is vital” don’t you understand?
