Hi all, I am using short code on my forum page, but I have duplicate search boxes on my site.

http://www.aquariumcarebasics.com/forum/

My main search box is in the sidebar with is site-wide, and one in the Forum section. I prefer to keep the search box is in the sidebar, as I am using a plugin that will incorporate forum contents in my overall searches.

Is there any way to disable the search box that appears within the forum on the forum index page?

I am using a child theme and I would prefer to avoid changing core files because of updates.

Please let me know, thanks!

Yes, add this code to your style.css in your child theme

.bbp-search-form {
 display:none !important;
 }

Thanks! Worked like a charm!

Even simpler just disable search in bbPress’ settings

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 11 months ago]

when did that appear !?

That’s great if you want to remove search all together. I unchecked it and it even removed the search widget. I was just looking to remove the one in the index page, not the widget area. 🙁

The code worked. Now is there a way to remove the text ‘FORUMS’ that was on top of the search bar?

@supremor

if you used Robins CSS , remove that and it will show up in the widget area.

do what Stephen said just disable search in settings>forums so it wont appear in the forum archive page

Hi can I put something else on that area such as banner or Ads?

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years, 10 months ago]

yes if you know how to code

the nearest action hook is

‘bbp_template_before_forums_index’
