 * Hello All,
 * I cannnot remove the “search” menu from my site and I cannot remove the “most
   popular” widget-like thing (which is not a widget) from my site. I have found
   custom CSS to add that is supposed to remove both of these things, but nothing
   ever works. In fact, no custom CSS I have added has had any impact on the site
   whatsoever. Can something interfere with custom CSS?
 * Thanks,
    Dane

 * Hey [@doktordane](https://wordpress.org/support/users/doktordane/),
    Add the 
   below CSS styling in **main.css** file to remove the search bar:
 *     ```
       #search-wrapper {
           display: none !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * CSS file path: wp-content/themes/trance/assets/css/**main.css**

 * Hello,
 * Thank you, Prabhat Kumar Rai. That worked immediately. Can I add ‘!important’
   to any code that isn’t working to activate it?
 * Thanks again,
 * Dane

    Yes, you
   can add “!important” to any code but, it also has certain conditions for working.
 * Check out the below article to know more about “!important” property in CSS:
