Hello. I have tried to implement the changes but now my searchbar is not showing. This is what I have done.

1) I removed the k2 search widget ( dragged it off )
2) I removed this k2 search widget code from sidebar.php :

<div id=”search”><h2><?php _e(‘Search’,’k2_domain’); ?></h2>
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/searchform.php’); ?>
</div>

3) I added this search code from wordpress’s default theme
back into sidebar.php

<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/searchform.php’); ?>

4) I changed the code for my searchform.php from the website in my first post.

What did I do wrong ? Thank you so much for your help again !

Hello, I am going to try the changes that you have advised, thank you so much for your help ! I will post again to let you know if it went smoothly.

Thank you so much again !

Hmm…maybe I’m lost here, but if I drag this widget off the search function disappears right ?

Does it then mean that if I want a search function without the search button I will need a non-widget search ? How do I implement one ?

Hello. Yes its a widget named “search” and can be found under presentation >> widgets.

However, it doesn’t seem that I can edit it in anyway.

Thank you so much for the fast reply.

I just found out it’s a widget alright.

How may I remove the search button in this case ?

Hello. I am having the same problems and have done as you have said but I can’t seem to save the changes I have made in my phpmyadmin panel. Can you offer some help ?

Hello. You are so right. Thank you so much for the help !

Hello and thank you so much for your detailed explanation. I have followed your instructions and have been able to change the colors successfully. I was under the impression that all the style properties were defined in one style.css and had completely overlooked vader.css.

I have 2 more questions actually, if you you don’t mind;

The first one is actually a following up from above :

Is there a specific reason for having 2 css files ? Doesn’t breaking up the css file into 2 parts entail more work during customization and make things confusing ?

My 2nd question is about the alignment of text in my archives page : Right now the top text ( which basically explains how a reader can access the archives ) is aligned in the center ( I would like it aligned left ) and looks really ugly. I have tried searching for the text attribute which defines this both in style.css and archives.php, but can’t seem to find anything that I can use to edit it.

Thank you once again for your invaluable help.

Hello Bull3t and thank you for your fast reply. I have searched for the word “black” in my style.css file but it doesn’t seem to exist.

I would like to change ( or rather, understand where the attributes are defined ) the background colour for my main body ( main content, basically the entire block that follows the header image ) and sidebar, right now both are black.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this.

My apologies ! I didn’t mean that literally of course. Still, gotta love a girl who likes BT, Chicane, PVD and F Corsten.

It worked like magic. You guys are real experts. Thank you so much !

Hello guys, it worked beautifully. Thank you so much for the help !
