 * Hello all…
 * I need a little help here. I deleted the code for the search form that sits above
   the sidebar. (default theme) So obviously it’s not appearing. Does anyone have
   the code so I may place back.
 * Thanks in advance!

 * Thanks I got it! Do you know if it’s possible to get this search form to appear
   in the footer? If so, I will post a new topic…

 * I read this, went to my theme. searchform.php copied it and pasted it in the 
   footer just before the end body tag. works great. Good luck.
    I tried HeadNfoot
   first, no luck.

 * Outthere,
 * I just tried to do what you said above but it didn’t work. What theme are you
   using?
 * Here is the code for the “footer.php”
 *     ```
       <hr />
       <div id="footer">
       <p>
   
       		<a href="<?php bloginfo('comments_rss2_url'); ?>">Comments (RSS)</a>
       		and <a href="<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>">Entries (RSS)</a>
       <?php bloginfo('name'); ?> © 2008
       		<!-- <?php echo get_num_queries(); ?> queries. <?php timer_stop(1); ?> seconds. -->
       </div>
       </div>
       </p>
   
       <?php wp_footer(); ?>
       </body>
       </html>
       ```
   
 * Thanks

 * I got it! It turns out in the .css file in the #searchform was listing “display:
   none”
    When I got rid of that line the search bar showed up just fine.
 * Thank you!
