  I decided to add a search bar on the header so it may be handy for people to search on whichever page. I only added once but somehow when I tested the site, 2 search bars popped up after the search. I deleted the search bar and added again but it still happens.

  WP.com: Yes
  Jetpack: No
  Correct account: Yes

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to moderators and staff)

  Hi!

  Just to check, were you referring to search bars appearing at the top of search results, but below the header; or two search bars in your header?

  If it’s the former, then it sounds like you may be seeing a second search bar in the “Search” template of your site – you can absolutely remove that should you prefer!

  You’d do that by going into the Site Editor at Appearance > Editor (beta), then selecting your Search template to edit it.

  We have a little info about the site editor and template editing in general here:

  If it’s something else, please do let us know, and re-add the search bar so we can check your site too!
