 * Hi,
 * I have been trawling the forum to find a fix for this, but none of the fixes 
   that worked for other people have worked for me.
 * On our home page there is a search button that overlays our phone number and 
   we want to remove it.
 * Help please!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fremove-search-button-in-header%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * What theme are you using?
 * You may be able to remove the search button by editing the CSS file. Try inspecting
   your site to locate the DIV element that is associated with the search button.
   Once you locate it you should be able to add “display:none” in the Custom CSS
   to remove the search button. If you ever decide you need the button back, you
   can simply remove the text you added.

 * Theme is a child them of Twenty Eleven.
 * How do you inspect the elements? I’ve tried to put additional CSS codes to remove
   it in the Simple Custom CSS and Additional CSS areas, with no positive results

 * Most of the common web browsers offer an inspect elements option. Most commonly
   this is accessed by right clicking on your web page and selecting the “Inspect
   Element” option. This will open a window pane that will show the website HTML
   and CSS. As you hover over the items in the inspect pane, it will highlight the
   portions of the web page connected to that element.
 * See the following link for additional information for the major browsers.
