    Good Morning,
    First of all, I’m new to these worlds, so I’m going to ask your help.

    I have the following theme installed on my site (black-letterhead) and my goal is to have only the search bar and the button. Without this words: “Search for:”

    How can I do to remove them?
    What part of the code can I remove it from?
    In the admin panel I have the Stylesheet (style.css) but I do not get it.

    Thank you for your help.
    Compliments,
    Pedro Martins

    Hello,

    If the search field is implemented as a widget, this can be done via the administration interface. Just navigate to Appearance > Widgets and drag the search widget from the widget area to the “Available Widgets” pane.

    If the search field is hard-coded into the theme, it might be easier to edit the CSS rather than the HTML and PHP. Here’s how:

    Use Firebug or a similar tool to locate the DIV element containing the search code.
    In the theme’s CSS file (probably style.css), add display: none to that DIV. That’s it!

    This is a minimally invasive approach. If you ever want to re-enable the search bar, just remove the display: none statement from your CSS.

    i hope this helps.
