Oops, I posted in the wrong area – topic was resolved already. So, posting again…

Hi. I can’t seem to remove the search bar and the “Nothing Found
Apologies, but no results were found for the requested archive. Perhaps searching will help find a related post.” text above it (even though no search or request has been done). I did go into the widget area and dragged it out of the footer area and I’ve selected “inactive widgets”. Now I have a widget that says “search” on the left hand side with the “add” button next to it, nothing that says “search” in any of the sidebars or footer areas on the right hand side of the page and at the bottom I have “Inactive Widgets” that says “search” below the text. By my website still displays it at the bottom of the page.

I am not a programmer, nor do I understand it. But in my searches I came upon info, so I tried it out by applying my own logic to it :-). In the editor I went to style.css and replaced the word “block” with “none” in 4 places. That removed the search bar, but the text still remained. I found the text in archive.php, but I did not know how to delete it without messing up the template.

Please, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi

I think its because in the Presentation Page setting you have it enabled to show posts. I think because you have no posts then thats why it shows. Just disable posts on the presentation page and it should go.

I hope this helps

Whoo-hoo!! Jim, you are my hero!! The solution – so simple, yet so effective :-). I’ve been grappling with this for many hours, and I just overlooked the simple things and tried the hard ones. In my non-programmer mind, enabling posts and having a search bar showing were not related. In hindsight it is so obvious! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Have a wonderfully awesome day!
