Worked like a charm! Apparently, I didn’t know the if statement was restricting the search form on certain pages. THANK YOU!!

Thanks worth…appreciate the second eye. I checked sidebar and the markup looked fine to me.

<?php
/**
 * @package WordPress
 * @subpackage Default_Theme
 */
?>
	<div id="sideBar">
		<ul id="sideNav">

			<li class="noLink"></li>

			<!--deleted li with php calls to remove p from ul-->

			<li><a href="index.php">main</a></li>

			<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=<a href="#">pages</a>' ); ?>

			<li><a href="#">archives</a>
				<ul>
				<?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly'); ?>
				</ul>
			</li>

			<?php wp_list_categories('show_count=1&title_li=<a href="#">categories</a>'); ?>

			<?php /* If this is the frontpage */ if ( is_home() || is_page() ) { ?>

		</ul>
		<div id="fill"></div>
		<div id="search"><?php get_search_form(); ?></div>

		<?php } ?>

	</div>

I guess I can always hard code the search form with searchForm.php…anyone out there like to comment? My interesting but lonely dialog with myself is starting to depress me.

I discovered the problem was that WordPress was not loading any javascript once placed inside a theme folder. I tried using several php scripts to get the correct directory/path but nothing seemed to work. So, I just moved my javascript folder outside of WordPress and made an absolute path to it…finally loaded up then. Maybe if I knew more about php, I could get it to work inside theme folders.

I found this, but have no idea what or where Write > Page is…

“By default, wp_list_pages() generates a nested, unordered list of WordPress Pages created with the Write > Page admin panel. You can remove the outermost item (li.pagenav) and list (ul) by setting the title_li parameter to an empty string.”
