Hi friends,

I installed a custom search plugin (now in footer) and would like to get rid of the standard search bar that came on my WP theme.

Mountain River Stream l Fabulous Outdoor Gear Reviews & Tales Of Intimate Adventures [By & For Women w/ Dr. Nicki]

Please advise how to delete it or make it invisible.

Thanks much,
Dr. Nicki

    There's no option to turn it off, so the best way to do it without deleting it is to comment it out.

    Go to "Appearence--> Editor"
    Select the "header.php" in the right column for the theme.
    Scroll down and find this block of code:
    Code:
    	    <div id="search">
	    	<?php get_search_form(); ?>
		</div> <!-- end #search -->
    Comment it out like so:
    Code:
    	   <!-- <div id="search">
	    	<?php get_search_form(); ?>
		</div> -->
<!-- end #search -->
    Now it's gone but still in the header in case you change your mind at some point.
