on my forums, under search box, there’s a yellow bar with text: Please enter some search terms.

Is there a way to get rid of this, and just leave the search field? I have another community where this text doesn’t exist, but can’t figure out how to block it on the community that still has it.

Thanks for any suggestions

it’s a private site, so not sure how to let anyone see it. But here is screenshot of what search field with message:

ok, that does not belong to the bbpress search field default.

It could be added by several things, without a link to a live example (which would let me see in browser what class it is and try and see what is sending it) I can only suggest you

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see if this fixes.

Plugins

If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users

Then come back
