 * Success!!
 * Thanks to you both for your suggestion of replacing the image. I was able to 
   replace the original jpg with the new jpg provided by alchymth (that did not 
   have the white box).
 * I did exactly as you instructed in the last post alchymth, and it worked perfectly.
 * Thank you again t-p and alchymth!
 * Happy and relieved to finally move forward with this theme on my site. Persistent
   finally pays off.

 * No, unfortunately, I don’t know how to do that.
 * All I can figure out how to do is move it to take it out, which actually removes
   the entire header.
 * I though the white box was superimposed on the header, but I’m not sure if this
   is the case, as I can’t find a script for the white box.

 * Thanks t-p.
 * I will search for another theme, but will continue to work on this one. I will
   keep this discussion up for a couple of more days in case anyone has any ideas,
   and will post solution if I have one.
 * Thanks,
 * Gary

 * In your opinion, do you believe there is an easy solution for removing this, 
   or shall I move on to another theme?
 * I have tried a multitude of different variations of trying to remove different
   scripts in the header, but with no luck.
 * Thanks,

 * Sorry, you’re right alchymth.
 * Here is a link to my site:
 * [http://www.doublestrollerjogging.com](http://www.doublestrollerjogging.com)
 * Any thoughts about line of code I should remove or edit, based on header.php 
   I attached in a previous post?
 * I have also gone through the theme’s settings and widgets, but did not find anything
   helpful there.
 * Thank you all for lending a hand to a relatively newcomer to the wordpress world.

 * Hi chinmoy29,
 * Attached is the header.php file that I have:
 * <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN” “[http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd”&gt](http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd”&gt);
   
   <html xmlns=”[http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&#8221](http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&#8221);
   dir=”ltr” lang=”en-US”>
 * <!– BEGIN html head –>
    <head profile=”[http://gmpg.org/xfn/11″&gt](http://gmpg.org/xfn/11″&gt);
   <meta http-equiv=”Content-Type” content=”<?php bloginfo(‘html_type’); ?>; charset
   =<?php bloginfo(‘charset’); ?>” /> <title><?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?><?php wp_title();?
   ></title> <link rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_url’);?
   >” /> <!–[if lte IE 6]><link rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘
   template_url’); ?>/ie.css” /><![endif]–> <script type=”text/javascript” src=”
   <?php bloginfo(‘template_url’); ?>/functions.js”></script>
 * <?
    global $options; foreach ($options as $value) { if (get_settings( $value[‘
   id’] ) === FALSE) { $$value[‘id’] = $value[‘std’]; } else { $$value[‘id’] = get_settings(
   $value[‘id’] ); } } ?> <link rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘
   template_url’); ?>/colorstyles/<? echo $wppt_color_scheme; ?>.css” /> <?php wp_head();?
   > </head> <!– END html head –>
 * <body>
    <!– BEGIN wrapper –> <div class=”wrapper”>
 * <!– BEGIN header –>
    <div id=”header”> <h1>/”><?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?></h1>
   <h3><?php bloginfo(‘description’); ?></h3> <form action=”<?php bloginfo(‘url’);?
   >/”>
 *  </form>
    </div> <!– END header –>
 *  <!– BEGIN content –>
    <div id=”content”> <!– BEGIN navigation –> <ul id=”navigation”
   >
    - 
    -  <?php dp_list_pages(); ?>
    -  <!– END navigation –>
    - I do not believe the script you are suggesting is here. I checked other php
      templates as well, and could not find a similar script.
    - Not sure if there is an easy solution here. I have been trying to find some
      code that has the search engine box layered into the header, but can’t seem
      to identify it.
    - If you have any more thoughts, please let me know. Otherwise, I appreciate
      your help anyway.
    - Thanks,
    - Gary

 * I have checked this, and still do not see a code string that resembles the one
   you provided.
 * fyi: this is the code I had previously deleted, which ended the “search” functionality:
 * <!– BEGIN header –>
    <div id=”header”> <h1>/”><?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?></h1>
   <h3><?php bloginfo(‘description’); ?></h3> <form action=”<?php bloginfo(‘url’);?
   >/”> <input type=”text” name=”s” id=”s” value=”<?php the_search_query(); ?>” 
   onfocus=”focusInput(‘Search’, this)” onblur=”blurInput(‘Search’, this)” /> <button
   type=”submit”>Search</button> </form> </div> <!– END header –>
 * <input type=”text” name=”s” id=”s” value=”<?php the_search_query(); ?>” onfocus
   =”focusInput(‘Search’, this)” onblur=”blurInput(‘Search’, this)” />
    <button 
   type=”submit”>Search</button>
 * After removing the above, I was left with the white rectangle.
 * Any thoughts on this? Thanks again.
 * Gary

 * Hi t-p,
 * Thanks again for helping me today.
 * I have gone through the functions.php (Theme Functions) and the index.php (Main
   Index Template), but haven’t been able to find this code.
 * I am using the wp-portal theme 2.1 if that helps at all.
 * Thanks,
 * Gary

 * Thanks t-p, I did not see that post.
 * alchymyth, you are correct, it was the 2nd option I was seeking. I tried it, 
   and it worked! The post now shows the entire article!
 * Thanks so much alchymyth, and everyone for your contributions in helping me solve
   my problem!!

 * Thanks t-p,
 * I have looked at the coding for single.php, which I have cut and pasted below.
 * It doesn’t have any “read more” code in this, as far as I can see.
 * If you have any ideas, I would be happy to hear them. If not, then probably my
   best solution is to move onto another theme.
 * Thanks,
 * Gary

 * Thanks for the reply chinmoy29.
 * That didn’t quite work. I removed only this text, but it still didn’t work.
 * Instead of saying “read more”, it replaced that text with my url, but still with
   the same result (ie. the article still only showed the first few lines, but this
   time, no link to view the full article).
 * I have been able to revert it back, so the same problem exists.
 * Thanks anyway for your consideration to this matter.

 * I believe I have resolved this, by simply modifying the link I was given. I was
   provided with a link code that was behaving very strangely, and have modified
   the code.
 * Thanks for your input.

 * Actually, I have tried both.
 * I first started the hyperlink “without” the [http://](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gary1579/replies/?output_format=md),
   and then when that didn’t work, I started it “with” the [http://](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gary1579/replies/?output_format=md).
 * When it started with the [http://](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gary1579/replies/?output_format=md),
   the hyperlink was not recognized on the live site.
 * When I started it without the [http://](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gary1579/replies/?output_format=md),
   then the hyperlink started with my domain url, and subsequently returned an error
   message.
 * Any thoughts?
 * Thanks,
 * Gary
