I’m trying to take the search option out of the bp-default because my company’s custom logo is at the top and the search option blocks the name of my company and looks terrible…….I tried deleting the search.php and it didn’t work……..

Thanks!!!

I think the search you are looking for is in header.php

You should not edit or delete anything in the bp-default directory/folder. Place a copy of header.php in your child theme and edit that…..

Ok……copy and pasted header.php in Notepad++

Working on the edit now……

Ok…..so I’ve been working on the edit for over an hour (ate of bowl of ice-cream in-between)…….so now I’m crying “uncle”……lol…….how exactly am I editing this? I tried <?php remove_action……..bla bla bla…….I tried taking out the line of code all together, I tried <form remove_action…..bla bla la………

I know I'm close……I can feel it……

I think there may be cleverer ways – but a quick fix would be to open the child theme’s header.php and replace the blank line 28 with
<?php /*?>
Then replace the blank line 43 with:
<?php */?>
This will ‘comment out’ the relevant lines so they could easily be re-enabled later if required.

Otherwise just delete the lines between – you could always copy header.php to your child theme again if needed…

NB: I just upgraded to buddypress v1.5.3 on the site so that is where the line numbers come from…..

I upgraded too and I have a blank for line 28….which I have put but my line 43 has <div/div><!-- .padder -->

sorry…..it’s suppose to say “which I have put <?php /*?>

My line 42 is blank……I’m thinking it must that…….

should be!

For reference, my bp-default child theme header.php would look the same as the one here: http://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/bp-themes/bp-default/header.php?rev=5003

GOT IT!!!! RIGHT ON THE MONEY AGAIN!!!! Ok, but my buddybar appears to be too high and is also impeding my logo (header). I’m going to try changing the px from 1250 x 133 to……I don’t know yet, but something a bit smaller to see if that does the trick…..I’ll let you know if it doesn’t work.

THANK GOD FOR YOU!!!! I WOULD HAVE NEVER FIGURED THIS OUT BY MYSELF….OR I WOULD HAVE, BUT LORD ONLY KNOWS HOW LONG IT WOULD HAVE TAKEN ME………

I changed the height from 133 to 150 thinking it would raise my header above the menu options, but it didn’t work…..can you think of another way?

That is a whole different question and it’s very late here (UK) already……

Maybe a new topic would be better….

Should I start a new thread? Or is this ok?

lol……I posted mine a bit too late….ok….I’ll start a new thread and keep working……maybe tomorrow…….THANK YOU ACES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
