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.

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!
