I would like to remove the search bar on my site, how do I do this?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi, This will do it to remove the search in the header area.
.header-nav-search-container { display: none; } -

At WordPress.com, that is correct @fitcompleet. Let us know if you have any questions or problems.

Hello, I have a question. I bought the design upgrade on wordpress.com, because (among others) I want to remove the search bar on the left on my blog. But I can’t find any CSS code that will make it work.
I’m so sorry for doing it wrong but I just don’t understand it. :(
here’s the blog:
http://lchphotograph.wordpress.com/The search bar only appears on “Imprint” (under Contact). I can “remove” it (but it’s a different design then) by changing the site template, but I don’t want a full size template on the pages with text because it’s difficult to read. (As in “About”).
Many thanks for any help in advance!

@lchphotograph – I don’t see a footer on your site – that puts you in violation of the Terms of Service and your blog at risk of being suspended
Current Terms of Service:
11. Attribution. Automattic reserves the right to display attribution links such as ‘Blog at WordPress.com,’ theme author, and font attribution in your blog footer or toolbar. Footer credits and the WordPress.com toolbar may not be altered or removed regardless of upgrades purchased.
The current policy about the footer in the support documentation:
May I remove the ‘Blog at WordPress.com’ credit in my site’s footer?
Although the Custom Design Upgrade certainly grants you the capability to hide the credit from your site’s footer, you are not permitted to do so. Even our VIP bloggers are required to maintain the credit.http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/#frequently-asked-questions

Hi auxclass,
I’m sorry, in the German wordpress forum a moderator said that one can remove the footer with the upgrade. The entry is a few years old, so maybe it was allowed back then. I enabled the footer again.
Can you help me on my other problem?
Thanks, Laura -

a) Yes, the policy re the footer credits used to be different.
b) The searchbox is the default sidebar item that shows in the primary sidebar when you haven’t added any widgets yourself. So if you don’t want the searchbox but you do want the sidebar, you don’t need any CSS editing: just add the widget(s) you prefer.
-
Well unfortunately that doesn’t solve my problem, because I don’t want any widget, I just want this area to stay white… :/ However, thanks for your help. :)

If you want that area to stay empty (it’s not white), then “that” does solve your problem: you add a blank Text widget.
If you prefer doing it via CSS editing, you can paste this into the CSS editor:#secondary #search { display: none; }But I hope you’ll realize than empty sidebar looks wrong.

I don’t think so at all. It’s a matter of taste… I’d like to have it like that. ;) But I figure it won’t work as I want it to be, so I’ll have to come up with another solution.

You’re welcome.
Now that you changed your mind and added an Image widget:
On almost all the other pages, the white background spans the entire width of the theme. If you wish, you can make the “text” pages look the same and still have narrower text: you can turn them to full width, insert the image in the content of the page, and split the content into two columns (image left, text right). -
In the meantime I thought of a better and simpler way. Try this and see if you like it:
#content { background-color: #FFFFFF; } #image-2 { margin: 14px 0 0 14px; }
