    Hi guys,

    I have just installed La-Band as a theme on my new domain, and I’m having a nightmare of a time trying to get rid of the full width search bar that runs throughout the theme.

    Can anybody help?

    Here’s the demo theme – http://laband.holobest.com/ – I just want to get rid of the search bar at the top.

    my specific site (through necessity unfortunately) is stuck behind a landing page but is very much the same at this stage.

    Many, many thanks!
    Dave

    Hi Dave, open searchform.php of your theme then remove form.
    If no searchform.php you can use this easy way: open all files of theme in Code IDE, then search “searchform” all open files.

    Result must include 1 file contain your searchform, remove it !

    By the way your theme’s author is here: http://themeforest.net/user/holobest – Whom you are paying for support.

    Thanks guys, massively appreciated. Andrew – they’re not so great with support I’m finding unfortunately.

    Phankimi, thanks! There’s not a searchform.php, just search.php (but all that contains is ‘<?php include (‘archive.php’) ?>’

    Could you advise more about Code IDE and where I can get it from?

    Thanks!

    Code IDE is a tool help you edit your code. Notepad++ is a lightweight and Free Code IDE. You can download from here: http://notepad-plus-plus.org/

    After install it, open all files in your theme folder with notepad++, remember include files in sub-folder also.

    Then Ctrl + F (Search) this keyword “search-bar” and hit Find All in All Opened documents.

    Result sure include 1 or more file contain “search-bar”. Last step is remove content of search-bar div as you want.
