  I’m using the twenty eleven theme and it came with a search box that sits at the top right of each page. I don’t need this and it’s keeping me from adding the full site title, as there isn’t enough room. How can I remove the search bar?

  Hi slsbiz,

  To hide the search form from the header area in the Twenty Eleven theme, add this to your Appearance > Customize > CSS panel:

  #branding #searchform {
  display: none;
  }

  Just wanted to confirm that the only way to hide the built-in search bar in Twenty Eleven is with custom CSS, as ceoadebayo provided above (thank you!). Custom CSS is available with the Premium or Business plans.

  Alternatively, you could choose a newer theme that does not hard-code in the search bar, such as Penscratch 2: https://penscratch2demo.wordpress.com/
