I have a search box on my side bar and don’t want it at the top as well.

Please help.

    I have origami, but this should be the same with your theme.

    Go into the admin area of your website and under ‘appearance’ find ‘ theme settings’ and click that.

    On the page you go to, will be a list of selections. Go down the list until you get to ‘Header search’. You should have a box called Enabled, with a tick in it. Click this to remove the tick and then save the page. Reload your front page and it should be gone.

    Hi Lyn

    Head to Appearance > Theme Settings > General and un-check the Search Input field.

    Thanks @Mabrahmz, almost the same.

    Thanks so much Mabrahmz and Andrew, will try that now.

    Much appreciated

    If I wanted to put a border around the search box, how could I do that? Could I do via CSS – and do you know the code?

    Hope it’s possible

    Hi, I Work Here

    If you’re looking to put a border around the sidebar search widget, try the following under Appearance > Custom CSS:

    /* Pitch Sidebar Search Form */

#sidebar #searchform {
border: 1px solid #000000;
padding: 10px;
}

    That’s great. If, instead of removing the top search box, I want to but a border around it (just to see how it looks) do I replace #sidebar with #topbarmenu?

    Cheers

    Sure, try the following:

    /* Pitch Header Search Form */

#logo #searchform {
border: 1px solid #000000;
padding: 10px;
}

    Thanks – that’s fab.

    Appreciate the prompt response too.

    Take care

    Hi – that almost worked but it’s about a 4mm too wide all around the search form. And if it could be in red, that would be perfect.

    Hope that’s possible – thanks so much for all your help so far.

    Take care

    For sure, you’ll now need to adjust the CSS as required. #000000 is black, you’ll need to change that to red. You can just use the word red. The padding is 10px, you can adjust that as required.
