    Hi,

    Brand new user here, http://www.leavetheleaves.com hosted by Godaddy. Up and running fine. I’ve searched (Google was no help) and found several replies, but none have worked for me. I have:

    1. Installed V 1.5.1 Disable Search Plug-in. It indeed disables the function, but the box and button still appear.

    2. Added `input.search-field {
    visibility: hidden;
    }` to style.css

    3. Changed the name of /public_html/wp-content/themes/faq/templates/searchform.php to _searchform.php. The searchbox still appeared and functioned. A post said to delete a line of code from the file but it didn’t quite match up to my file so I figured renaming the file would have some effect – it did not.

    I understand this theme is old and no longer supported but I really like it. I’m not after a blog as much as a website where comments can be left.

    Thank you very much for any help. I have spent several hours trying on my own.

    Rob

    Dear arunmilky,

    It worked…thank you so much!! A few more details that might somehow help someone…your fix did not work right away…I had taken someone else’s advice to change the file permission to 777…once I changed it back to 644 the fix took place. I cannot explain that but I can share that I’m not sure the advice to change the permissions was valid. Then again, maybe there was a delay for some reason…don’t know…maybe I didn’t refresh the page like I thought….

    Thank you again arunmilky!

    My expertise is in suburban backyard composting…it’s a longshot but if you ever need expert advice on that topic please let me know. It is the subject matter of leavetheleaves.com.

    Kind regards,

    Rob
