   What is the easiest way to remove the search box at the top of the pages?

   Thanks!

   Hi roppolo,

   Create a Child Theme first:

   http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

   Then in the Child Theme's style sheet look for this:

   /* Search Form */
   #branding #searchform {
   	position: absolute;
   	top: 3.8em;
   	right: 7.6%;
   	text-align: right;

   Add this just below that last line:

   display: none;

   So the code now looks like:

   /* Search Form */
   #branding #searchform {
   	position: absolute;
   	top: 3.8em;
   	right: 7.6%;
   	text-align: right;
   	display: none;

   Hope this helps!

   That is one way of doing it. The second would be going in and dropping an empty text widget in. Or by clicking on:

   1. Appearance -- Editor.
   2. Going to sidebar.php
   3. Find the code that has search.
   4. Delete it.
   5. Save.

   I dont see it in sidebar.php, Brett... am I missing it?

   <?php
   /**
    * The Sidebar containing the main widget area.
    *
    * @package WordPress
    * @subpackage Twenty_Eleven
    * @since Twenty Eleven 1.0
    */
   
   $options = twentyeleven_get_theme_options();
   $current_layout = $options['theme_layout'];
   
   if ( 'content' != $current_layout ) :
   ?>
   		<div id="secondary" class="widget-area" role="complementary">
   			<?php if ( ! dynamic_sidebar( 'sidebar-1' ) ) : ?>
   
   				<aside id="archives" class="widget">
   					<h3 class="widget-title"><?php _e( 'Archives', 'twentyeleven' ); ?></h3>
   
   <ul>
   						<?php wp_get_archives( array( 'type' => 'monthly' ) ); ?>
   					</ul>
   				</aside>
   
   				<aside id="meta" class="widget">
   					<h3 class="widget-title"><?php _e( 'Meta', 'twentyeleven' ); ?></h3>
   
   <ul>
   						<?php wp_register(); ?>
   
   <li><?php wp_loginout(); ?></li>
   						<?php wp_meta(); ?>
   					</ul>
   				</aside>
   
   			<?php endif; // end sidebar widget area ?>
   		</div><!-- #secondary .widget-area -->
   <?php endif; ?>
