Wordpress – remove Search For functions
Introduction: when I was at home, WordPress notified me that there was an update. However, its kind of late for an upgrade. So, I decided to make it quick and get it over my nerves! Anything that involves upgrading, updating or modifying a file. It really does make me angry, as I cannot write or read! It’s kind of annoying…
Anyway, here is a short tutorial that will instruct you to remove this little “Search For” from blocking your search bar! However, you must take your time on this guide. Any fatal mistake could cause WordPress to stall itself and kill your SQL Database!
1.] Download a third party Notepad from this website. But, if you already have it, you can skip this part and move on to Step 2.
Url: http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net
Notes: you’ll only need this software if you’re uploading a newer version of WordPress.
But, for those who already had WordPress on their server, then please, use Cpanel for this job!
Modifying individual files, which is outside the server, it’s very dangerous!
2.] Execute “Notepad++” and find this file: general-template.php.
Location: +++ /wp-includes/general-template.php
+++ = Server Location.
3.] Scroll down in between line 123 – 129 and look for this source code.
<div><label class="screen-reader-text" for="s">' . __('Search for:') . '</label>
4.] Delete “Search for:” from the brackets. But, you’ll need to leave the comma intact!
If you don’t, the search bar will corrupt!
5.] Save the changes on your server and refresh your Blog for the changes to take effect.
6.] Done!
