   Hello,

   I've been trying to put a search form in a header.

   In order to not touch the general-template.php file, I've set up a searchform.php in my template as follow:

   <div id="searchform">
   	<form method="get" action="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/">
   		<p>
   			<input type="text" value="<?php the_search_query(); ?>" name="s" id="s" />
   			<input type="submit" id="searchsubmit" value="Rechercher" />
   		</p>
   	</form>
   </div>

   In my style.css, I've got:

   [CSS moderated as per the Forum Rules. Please just post a link to your site.]

   And in my header, I'm calling the search the following way: <?php get_search_form(); ?>

   It's nearly working ...
   My search box gets duplicated in my header ... I have no idea why !

   If I use Firebug and the 'inspect element', I can select the search box on the top. I can't select the second one ...

   Any idea where the problem could come from ?

   A screenshot available here

   Thanks for reading

   I've been trying to use a different method.

   In the functions.php, I've added:

   /* Custom searchform */
   function chateaurenault_search_form( $form ) {
   
       $form = '<form role="search" method="get" id="searchform" action="' . home_url( '/' ) . '" >
       <p>
       <input type="text" value="' . get_search_query() . '" name="s" id="s" />
       <input type="submit" id="searchsubmit" value="'. esc_attr__('Search') .'" />
       </p>
       </form>';
   
       return $form;
   }
   
   add_filter( 'get_search_form', 'chateaurenault_search_form' );

   In the header, I hae: <?php chateaurenault_search_form(); ?>

   But I'm receiving an error:
   Warning: Missing argument 1 for chateaurenault_search_form(), ...

   Why?
   How do you call a 'custom' function?

   Thanks

   Ok, managed to find out what was wrong.
   The primary widget had a search form too ...

   I could see it but not enter anything in the searchbox - I guess - because the header image had a higher z-index ...
