  I’m working on a theme update and need some kind of tag or if/else that can determine if the search box is present on the page already and only display the code for the second box if it isn’t. This way the search box will only appear once per page. Anyone have any ideas?

  You are in the wrong forum – you need to make friends over at WordPress.ORG

  Already did about four days ago, but no response.

  Here it is if anyone has any thoughts. I think it would be a great conditional tag for WP to support in core: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-conditional-tag-that-detects-presence-of-wp-search-box

  WordPress has different flavors, and no substitutions. Auxclass gave you good advice: above. You are in the wrong forum:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org
